Docking Protests Kansas Gas Cuts; Dealers Worry
By BYRON MYERS
Kansas Staff Reporter
Gov. Robert Docking has complained to national energy chief William Simon about the threat of a shift in midwestern states to alleviate gasoline shortages in the East, James C. Shaffer, governor of North Carolina.
Shaffer said Docking had written to Simon, praising Kansans for their public response to a statewide energy alert and complaining that Kansas was being punished for excellence in fuel conservation.
Kansas will be among 10 states that will suffer cuts in gasoline allocations to redirect gasoline supplies to states in the Midwest, according to a announcement made Saturday by Simon.
The governor's message expressed extreme disappointment in what Docking
called "discrimination against the agricultural states, which are the bread-
IN LAWRENCE, gasoline dealers and distributors are apprehensive of the possibility of reduced gasoline allocations for March because of the diversion.
Gleim Diekner, Mobil Oil Co. distributor for the Lawrence area, said Monday that he hadn't heard from the Mobil district office in Kansas City, Mo., about the company's
"The first I knew about it (Simon's announcement) was when I heard it on the radio and I thought that allocation to be about 80 per cent of the contract we had in March of 1972. In January we were allotted 95 per cent of the 1972 sales and this month we were cut to 87 per cent."
Dieker said that unless the cut in
allocations exceeded 7 per cent the Mobil stations in this area would be hurt very much.
Reduced supplies of gasoline have caused Mobil stations to close earlier and move from a seven-day week to a six-day week, Diekher said, but none of the Mobil stations in Lawrence appears to be in danger of closing.
TEXACO OFFICIALS were reluctant to speculate about the effects of Simon's sales supervisor from Topela, said that any information about impending cuts in gasoline supplies should be referred to the district manager's office in Kansas City,
A call to the Kansas city office entitled little information. Donald Lindsay, who works in the district manager's office, said that Corky Larsen, Texaco district sales
manager, was out of town for conferences
but that no information has come down to
him.
"it's a little early," Lindsey said.
A. D. Dick, bulk plant manager for M. & M. Oil Co., Lawrence jobbers for Phillips 69 products, said he was afraid jobbers would have another cut in allotment.
"OUR GASOLINE allotment for February was 75 per cent of the 1972 contract," Schick said, "and our distillate and diesel fuel allotment is 95 per cent."
Schack said that Phillips 66 also had put his jobbers on allocation for motor oil and grease and that the price of motor oil had increased this month. The price of Trop-Arctic, the company's premium motor oil, is $20 per gallon for each case of 24 quart cars, he said. This will probably mean a five-cent-a-quarter increase to the consumer, he said.
M & M Oil Co. operates in both Douglas and Johnson counties, Schick said. In Douglas County, none of the dealers the company services has been forced to close, but one station in Olathe and another in Mission have closed, be said.
RVOL PACK, bulk fuel agent for Standard Oil Co., said he had not received an invitation to the meeting.
Polk said that as a distributor he received 100 per cent of his allotment but that he received only 50 per cent.
He said his business was directed toward farmers and companies who purchase their products.
Dale Soltwedel, who operates Dale's Standard Service at 1300 Massachusetts St., said that for February he had received 90 per cent of his 1972 sales but that he hadn't heard from the district office about any reduction for next month.
One dealer said that allotments for her location were going up. Mrs. Jerry Clayton, co-manager of the Kerr-McGee station at 920 N. Second St., had allotment for ten tentatively set at 20,000 gallons of gas when but was then raised to 22,500 gallons.
"MY HUSBAND and I talked to our area sales manager today," she said, "and we save no reason to believe things won't be the same next month."
Jack Panchol, operator of Jack's Super 100 Clark Station at 9th and Louisiana streets, said that his gasoline allotment has been cut from 51,000 gallons for January to 29,000 gallons for February but that he expected an increase next month.
My gasoline supply should go up by about 2,000 gallon for March," Panchot said.

Westerday's drug raids at Lawrence and Louisburg were the largest in the history of the Kansas attorney general's office, Atty. Gen. Vern Miller said yesterday.

But David Berkowitz, Douglas County attorney, said the raid was disappointing. "It is just a sad story," he said.
"I wasn't entirely satisfied with the raid," Iwerkwitz said. "I would've liked to have been there."
Miller estimated that $10,000 worth of drugs were seized at Lawrence and $328,000 worth of drugs were seized near Louisburg. The second major effort filled "two good-sized bushel baskets."
real soon, maybe quicker than you think," Miller said. "And it would be reasonable to assume that we still have undercover agents doing drugs and gathering information."
Amphetamines, pure cocaine, hashish, marijuana and a white powder thought to be benron were seized, Miller said. However, be said laboratory tests and measurements of quality and quantity of the drugs hadn't been made.
Suspects Startled by Raid
By JILL WILLIS
More than 100 state and local policemen participated in the raids yesterday, which began at Loussau 45 miles southeast of Lawrence in Miami County. Nine persons, including 30 men and 30 women in Loussau, and 30 persons, including one juvenile, were arrested in Lawrence.
THERE'LL BE more raids in Kansas
Kansan Staff Reporter
Most of the people arrested in the drug raid early yesterday morning were either too tired or too astonished to understand what was happening.
"The police were in my room before even got out of bed," Roger Bellows, Omaha
Ken Scott, Yuma, Colo, senior, said, "To the best I remember they knocked twice and then walked in. I can't remember what went on. I was so tired."
"I was just flabbergasted," said Jenee Vickers, Kansas City, Kan. semi, "I don't mind."

Some people complained that the police officers didn't allow them time to open their doors.
Dave Malinowski, Overland Park freshman, said the police broke the door down to get into his room. "They knocked a couple of times, he said.
Chuck Shriver, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, said he was asleep when his roommate, Lisa McCormack, came in.
France Stalls Energy Conference
WASHINGTON (AP)—The 13-nation Washington energy conference was forced into an unscheduled third day after France refused yesterday to agree on a communique based on U.S. proposals for meeting the oil crisis.
After a day of private meetings between Secretary of State Kissinger and French
Dissident Solzhenitsyn Arrested, Wife Says
Foreign Minister Michael Jobert as well as cauuses by the European Common Market nations, the conference reached its original termination date with little accomplished.
MOSCOW (AP) — Soviet police muscled into a Moscow apartment yesterday and arrested Nobel Prize author Alexander Grishny, the dissident writer's wife reported.
She said that Solventynsy was confronted by seven rough men just inside the door of her apartment. A counselor from the state prosecutor's office named Swerve showed a document authorizing use of force arrest she said.
Instead, a drafting committee was appointed to work last night on a draft communique that might be acceptable to the French.
According to his wife, Solzhenityn told him, "I won't go. I have explained why. I want to leave."
The mother of Natalya Sveltova, the novelist's wife, said the police then dragged him off. Mrs. Solzenhitz said the woman, advised her four hours later, that Sveltava was dead.
"I refuse to acknowledge the legality of your summons and will not come for an interrogation to any state organ," he said in a statement Monday.
Since the publication in the West of his new book on the Soviet labor camp system, Gugal Archipelaago," Solzhenitsyn has been pressured in the press, criticized on radio and in caricatured in posters as an enemy of "everything the Soviet Union holds dear."
The maximum sentence for anti-Soviet slander is seven years in a labor camp and five additional years in Siberian exile. If he commits a crime, he may be for investigation up to nine months.
SOLZHENITSYN has twice refused to honor summonens to appear for demand.
Yesterday's action could be the first step toward a trial for "anti-Soviet slander." Or he could be released soon in hopes that his new postings would help mukinine statements to Western newsmen.
There was no official confirmation of the arrest.
The American position as agreed to by all the Common Market countries except France calls for setting up a committee to prepare for further meetings with less developed nations and ultimately with the major oil producing countries.
"WE ARE COMING BACK tomorrow and we will be meeting during the night to work on the communique," Kissinger told newsmen yesterday.
However, other statements by Jobert and U.S. officials indicated little hope for accommodation. American sources clearly thought that any compromise would have to come from French because the United States or other participants were already in basic accord.
A labor camp victim under Stalin, later rehabilitated, Solzhenitsyn based his latest book on his own experience and con-
trol of the fellow inmates in the Stainst camp.
Jobert, for instance, volunteered that "regretfully we can't say that we have done everything to assure that this conference should be a success."
Jobert told a news conference that "we will do our best to resolve the problem."
THE FRENCH HAVE OBJECTED to any plan based on strong international cooperation that downgrades unilateral agreements with the oil producers.
Regardless of the French attitude, U.S. and other officials said a communique would be issued, even if Jobert refuses to sum.
The opening of the conference yesterday immediately ran into trouble, and the scheduled morning meeting of the foreign ministers was delayed 30 minutes.
WHEN THE SESSION did begin, first of the major foreign ministers were missing. After a round of speeches by finance officers, the meeting recessed.
"Next thing I knew there were about five policemen around me," he said.
Two students in Oliver Hall and one student in McColum Hall said the police were investigating the attack.
Kissinger ate lunch with the other 12 foreign ministers and then spent an hour alone with Jobert in a fruitless attempt to reach the Frenchman to drop his opposition.
Elaune Green, resident director of Oliver Hall, said that room keys weren't given to the police but that they might have had skeleton keys with them.
"In two instances the police kicked the door in," she said.
Green said a police officer stayed with the night guards and the student on desk duty
"They wouldn't allow the student at the desk to tell me about the raid until it was over."
A POLICEMAN does not have to wait to be invited into a residence, according to Paul Willey.
Ordinarily a policeman will knock and announce his presence before entering, he said. However, an officer can use reasonable force to enter a residence if someone is in danger or if some evidence is in danger of being lost.
Scott and his roommate, Wolfgang Elimes, Kammerich, Germany, graduate student, said police officers knocked at their door but didn't identify themselves.
"I FIGURED they would search the room anyway. That's the impression I got. They were very quiet."
Mark Rickman, Overland Park junior,
said he signed the waver because he didn't
understand that he could prevent the search
if he refused to sum it.
Eilmes said Scott went to the door, but he wont sure whether Scott opened the door of the house.
Three pipes and a set of scales were confiscated from his room, Rickman said.
Some of the people were asked to sign a waiver allowing the police officers to search
Scott said he thought the police opened the door.
Bellows said he refused to sign the search waiver because he didn't know his rights.
David Berkowitz, Douglas County attorney, said an officer couldn't search a room without a warrant unless he had the evidence of residence or the evidence was in plaint sight.
Although police searched Scott's room, Scott said he didn't see a search warrant for his room until he was at the police station. Scott was then confiscated from Scott's room, too.
"then there be a search," Berkowitz
said, "but the officers must have a wiz-
ness."
There are occasions when an arrest is made and the evidence from the arrest is presented.
SEVERAL STUDENTS said they were set

OFFICERS REPORTED that one resident of Oliver Hall apparently tossed a packet of drugs out a window as officers. The packet landed on a ninth-floor ledge.
Miller briefed the Lawrence raiders at 3 a.m. at the Douglas County fairgrounds. They started warrants at 4 a.m. The agents worked in teams of five, raiding McCollum, Oliver and Ellsworth residence in addition to several private residences.

The raids were the result of six weeks of investigation by agents of the attorney general's office, Berkowitz said, and many of them were still being made well in advance of the raid.
When there are only a limited number of agents to work with, he said, they are allowed to make contacts and drug transactions as long as possible and to save up their evidence against individuals. If they do not make any contact, an agent makes a contact, his activity will be uncovered and he will be burned out for that area.
Berkowitz said the investigation had "run out of steam" recently, indicating it was too slow.

Among the 30 persons arrested was reserve offensive guard James Baker, Pittsburgh sophomore. Baker was charged with conspiracy to sell amphetamines and sale of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol—the抑制 glucinatory ingredient in marijuana).

Deadline for Free Drops, Credit-No Credit Is Friday
Football Scouts Say Raid Could Harm KU
Friday is the last day to file for the credit-no credit grade option and to drop courses without penalty.
To file a creditio credit option a student must obtain the card option from his dean's office and turn it in to the department that offers the course. No option cards will be accepted without a student's KU identification card.
To drop a course a student must pick up a drop slip and get approval from the department that offers the course. Then he must get the appropriate mark concerning grading instructions from his dean's offices
During the "free" drop period, canceled enrollment in a course will not appear on a student's permanent records.
Under this system a student will receive credit for a grade of A, B or C. No other grades are accepted.
The credit-no credit option can't be used for courses in a student's declared major. One course may be taken under the onion each semester.
said it was still too early to measure the total impact the incident would have on people.
Once a student files the option card, he is bound to remain under the contract, said Gil Dyck, director of the Office of Admission and Records.
Dyck said yesterday that taking courses under the option might have some bad effects. He said that often other schools didn't honor the option and converted credit grades to C and no credit grades to P. For those reasons, he has had his KJUD before signing the binding credit so-credit sign card.
"I don't think there is any question that it will hurt," Sayers said. "We don't have any real returns yet, though. Most of the coaches are still out recruiting and we won't really know until March 6, when national teams are out for out-of-state players) can be signed."
Sayers said that KU had signed seven to nine players to letters of intent as of last night but that there might be further ramifications.
"Anytime something like this happens it can hurt your recruiting," said Sayers. "Other schools can use it as ammunition in recruiting against you."
Athletic director Clyde Walker said he had met with head football coach Don Fambrigho and asked him to make an official statement wouldn't be made until the athletic department had gathered all the facts of the incident. Fambrigho refused to make any comment.
"We are greatly concerned, naturally," Walker said. "Certainly we feel that a situation such as this can do no one any good.
"I plan to have a meeting with all the head coaches as soon as I can get them all together to discuss the methods and means of how to deal with this problem."
Walker said the athletic department had brought in authorities on drug abuse to talk about the situation.
"We feel we have been doing whatever we can in this area," he said. "However, I want to meet with the coaches to see what we can do above and beyond what we have done."
Two other KU athletes, trackman Barry Schur and Mark Lutz, were arrested earlier this month for the illegal possession of a firearm. Two other incidents could have an extensive effect.
"This problem goes deeper than the athletic program," Walker said. "I am concerned on how it affects the entire University of Kansas."
