Public Transit Possibilities Outlined
By BOB MARCOTTE Kansas Staff Reporter
A broad outline of public transportation possibilities for the city of Lawrence was presented last night to the Lawrence Area PTCA Council by Ernest Coleman, director of federal programs for Unified School District No. 497.
A first step in the planning of a public transportation system for Lawrence would be the appointment by the city commission, to head the transportation possibilities, Coleman said. Such a committee should include representatives of KU, Haskell, senior citizens, the public at large, and others.
Coleman said the creation of such a committee probably would involve less time and expense than would be incurred if the agency directly grant through the federal government.
Coleman said his proposals represented only his own personal interest and he emphasized that it would be up to groups with a diversity of expertise to committee proposal to the city commission.
THE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS in Lawrence make it unique among most cities of comparable size. Coleman said, because of its location in a university, a junior college and local industry.
The need for public transportation can be seen, he said, among workers, many of whom live on the opposite side of the city and work in different occupations. The Indian Junior college, where there is virtually no transportation available to students; and among the city's 3,000-4,000 elderly and the 6,000 poor who attend school, there is now a strong interest in using public transport.
There is also the possibility that transportation services could be expanded on the KU campus, he said, and that a transition program should be for shopping, meetings and night classes.
Coleman said there were several innovations that could be used in a comprehensive transportation service, including computer scheduling, master routing the routes of transportation vehicles and routing on the basis of telephone calls.
FUNDING FOR A transportation service could be obtained through a one mill city levy, which this year would have provided $18,700; from revenue sharing funds; through federal grants and through contracts with the Kansas Department of Education for transportation aid to carry some secondary-school students.
Because of the deadlines involved in approving levy funds and contracting for state education funds, a comprehensive transportation system would probably have to be ready for operation by late August of a given year, Coleman said.
Topeka has served as a trailblazer among Kansas towns, Coleman said, in developing its transit system. In the process, he said, a lot of the legal and legislative groundwork needed to make Topeka a funding public transportation. Topeka is supporting legislation in the State Senate that would give the city authority to issue bonds, against a one mill levy, that could be paid off over a 5- to 10-year period. The legislation may give bonding authority only for a certain period. If not, would leave out town like Lawrence, unless the legislation could be amended.
Peron Murder Attempt Thwarted, Police Say
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP)—Federal police said yesterday that they folled扑 to assassinate President Juan D. Echevarria and the wife of the president of Uruguay.
Authorities arrested at least 30 persons identified as members of urban guerrilla groups in Argentina and Uruguay, Police Chief Miguel Iniguez said.
One person, Carlos Alberto Caride of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, was arrested while possessing a satchel of explosives near where Peron and President Juan M. Bordaberry of Uruguay were to pass, Inguez said.
Detectives were said to have discovered a plot to assassinate the two presidents during an investigation of a separate plot to kill Isabel Peron, who is Argentina's vice
president, and Jose Lopez Rega, Peron's closest aide.
The first plot, planned in the resort city of Mar Del Plata, 250 miles south of here, included plans to blow up a state oil deposit on the coast by dipping a of a ton naval officer, police said.
POLice seized arms, including explosives "which could have blown up four city blocks of buildings," Luis Margaride, the public safety commissioner, said.
Police said Caride was arrested with the explosives as he hurried toward a major thoroughfare along which Peron and others had arrived in a motorcade to the presidential mansion.
Informed sources said Caride was amon-
 about 350 terrorists released in a general
war.
