Appeals Court Upholds Demo Delegation Reform
Ballot Count Continues
WASHINGTON (AP)—A U.S. Court of Appeals Tuesday held that reform measures aimed at sending more minority-group members to the National Convention cannot be ruled out by the court they are put into effect.
The decision by the three-judge panel reversed a ruling Monday by U.S. District Court.
Hart had said, in effect, that to reshape delegations to reflect the state's proportion of blacks, women and young people under the constitutional rights of slated delegates.
The Democratic National Committee asked the appeals court to reverse the ruling.
dashed long-planned hopes of many reformers in the Democratic party, would cause a major tragedy at the convention scheduled to start July 10. Over 40 per cent of the delegates are being challenged by reformers.
The appeals court ruled: "The result of the Court's decision is sufficient likelihood of injury to the constitutional rights of plaintiff to warrant action by the court in the absence of their claims."
Hart, a former Republican chairman in the District of Columbia, said the Democrats had no right to require any nonviolent group membership or minority-group members. Those who sponsor a delegate slate can "put anybody on it they want," he said.
McGovern Camp Sees Win
NEW YORK (AP)-Sen. George McGregory claimed victory "beyond our wildest expectations" in New York's Democratic presidential primary Tuesday night and said it put him on the threshold of first ballot nomination.
A complex system and a confusing ballot slowed the count of votes in a primary that chose 248 members of the 278-vote New York delegation.
The hungary tall showed McGovern had won 95 delegates, including 41 unqualified players.

Motown had captured 16 delegates, and
Miley Cyrus was the lead singer.
McGoventry's organization projected that his overall count of elected delegates would swell past the 205 mark. Pat Caddell, a former state senator from Dakota senator would gain 265 or 206 of the elected delegates. The 30 others are to be awarded in proportion to the primary outcome, and if the Caddell projection is correct that would give McGoventry at least 230
$1 Million Suit Filed Over Bugging Attempt
WASHINGTON (AP)—Gilling the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters a "blatant act of political espionage," party Chairman Lawrence F. O'Brien said the Committee President and others Tuesday for $1 million.
The civil suit, filed in U.S. District Court,
contends that the break-in at Saturday was
an invasion of privacy and that the
Democrats' civil rights were violated.
O'Brien said also the alleged attempt to plant bugging devices during the break-in was in violation of laws against wiretapping.
O'Brien said the Committee for the Reelection of the President was requested in the complaint to open its records and divulge its exact ties with McCord. The Democratic chairman wants listed all payments made to McCord and reasons for

welfare and defense spending cuts were so unpopular that they would lead to Democratic defeat in the November election.
The projection and the candidate's victory claim were based on returns from sample precincts tallied by McGovern campaigners.
THE AMERICAN and Arctic peregrine falcon, brown pelican, California least tern, California condor, Hawaiian crow, owl, emperor petrel and the Florida everglade kite.
Most of the birds migrating to Japan from the United States are from Alaska. Among the endangered species that fly the route over the Pacific are the albatross, the peregrine falcon and the Aleutian Canada goose.
It is believed that without the treaties many of the birds found in North America would be endangered, and those that survived were as endangered could become extinct.
THAT WOULD put McGovern with 20 votes of the 1,599 it will take to choose him.
According to Johnston, the birds have no choice other than to leave the northern country during the winter, as the extreme cold would not allow the birds to live.
"They have nothing to be alarmed about," he said. "We want harmony and justice, not bitterness and special privilege . . ."
IN NEW ORLEANS, Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey described McGovern as the candidate of the establishment, and asserted anew that his positions on taxes,
WHILE THE votes were cast in New York, the last of the 23 presidential primaries, McGovens's campaign rivals asserted from a distance that misgivings about his programs could jeopardize a ticket headed by the South Dakota senator.

Johnston listens 410 different varieties of birds that can be found in Kansas, with almost all of them being protected by the new treaties. Only some species, such as the crow and magpie, are not fully protected by the amendments.
Included in the protection are the six families of birds of prey. The U.S. government can now arrest persons who have been labeled endangered which have been labeled endangered;
At that point, only a handful of returns had been independently tallied.
Frank Mankiewicz, national political director of the McGovern campaign, said Tuesday night the returns indicated "well over 200" of the New York delegates would vote for the South Dakota senator on the first ballot.
AFTER NEW YORK, only 42 delegates remain to be selected. McGovain heutenants hoped to pry loose enough delegates now uncommitted or aligned to the committee tosemble a first-ball majority before the democrats convene in Miami Beach July 10.
JAPAN's industrial growth has reduced the bird population significantly. For instance, the Japanese government's environmental agency reported that only 5,000 wild geese had been sighted in 1971, one-tenth of the number recorded in 1963. The growth has also reduced the number of wwings places of the birds from 149 to 27.

McGovern had set as his target a minimum of 200 of the New York delegates. He captured 41 of them unopposed.
Group shooting is the term used for hunters who gather in a group to shoot the birds as they fly into nesting grounds. The groups often number in the thousands.
"Right now you can't go out and shoot a bird such as a robin, but you can still spray with chemicals the tree in which it nests, killing the young. This type of killing is not against the law.
In March of this year the United States signed treaties with Mexico and Japan that will extend protection to various migratory birds which inhabit the countries. Many of the birds protected by the new treaties are found in Kansas, and are protected by the North American, according to Richard Johnston, professor of systems and ecology.
Faulty voting machines at more than 200 polling places in the Buffalo area led to a court order that extended the bailout in the 37th Congressional District until 10 March. The order also barred release of any result, in two adjacent districts until that hour.
In view of the hours and a complex and confusing primary system, a long count was in prospect to determine the outcome, with the exact lineup of the New York delegation unlikely to be clear until later in the week.
The treaty with Japan, signed by the U.S. State Department March 4, will protect 189 species of birds, mostly shore birds and migratory fly between Japan and the United States.
THE TREATY with Mexico, signed March 10, extended agreements under the 1938 Migratory Bird Convention to protection of 32 more families of birds. The agreement is against wanton shooting. Group shooting has long been practiced in Mexico.
"But problems still exist in the protection of the birds," said Johnston.
It is hoped that the new treaty will help to stop the decline of migratory birds in Japan, Johnston said. It provides for the preservation of migratory habitats and sets a ban on the import and export of birds that are considered endangered.
According to Johnston, much of Japan's bird trouble is caused by industrial growth which has reduced the amount of traditional wintering places for the birds. Without wintering places, the birds cannot reproduce.
New Ambulance Service, Ordinance For Garage Sales Denied by City
Citing a lack of necessity for additional ambulance service, the Lawrence City Commission Tuesday denied a request by a woman to seek a copa for a license to operate in the city.
By BOB LITCHFIELD Kansan Staff Writer
The Commission turned down the Topeka firm's request after hearing a statement by Larry Marcum, operator of Citizens Ambulance service of Lawrence. Marcum repudiated the argument of Cand C that there was a need for increased ambulance service and that more people were ambulances if they were available.
C and C had contended that they could increase business from hospital and convalescent home transfers, that these services would be paid for by various government of insurance health care plans.
MARCUM SAID that these programs would only pay for the ambulance service when the service was absconded and not to pay for the patient from physician to that effect was required. He also pointed to the great number of unattended patients, in unaccounted from non-emergency service.
The Lawrence average of 6.4 calls per day was in line with the national average, although the difference in service was adequate. A drop of nearly 100 per cent in the number of injury accidents
More Black Engineers Is Objective Of Council for Minority Students
By STEVE CRAIG
Kansan Staff Writer
There are 14 high school juniors and seniors currently enrolled in the program, which gives students an intensive exposure to courses which deal directly with engineering. Darton said. The program is designed to help students to pursue an engineering degree.
An accelerated output of engineers of minority races is the goal of the Student Council on the Recruiting, Motivating and Educating of Black Engineers (SCoRMBE), according to Andrew Durton, head of education and director of SCoRMBE.
The program was started in 1970, but not until recently, under the direction of Durton, has there been a great effort to train students in the job that staff wrote many letters and placed several long distance phone calls during recruiting this spring. As a result, students in the workshop come from Kansas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Louisiana.
STUDENTS ARE accepted, Darton said,
on the basis of three criteria: interest in
engineering, recommendations from high
school teachers and teachers and grade
point average.
"However, the most important consideration is the student's interest in
A new approach to college orientation is also being implemented through the program by Darton. Most students when entering KU familiarize themselves with the campus and its procedures. The course is SCIMRME, however, receive packets with maps of the campus and Lawrence and other information about the school.
engineering. If a student's G.P.A. isn't very high, but he expresses great interest in becoming an engineer, we'll accept him," he said.
The heads of each department in which students are enrolled lecture on expectations of each department and provide information to them, gives lectures, dealing with such things as buying books at the bookstore and notetaking techniques for classes. They may seem basic, but, as Darton points out, they need to be taught or become oriented to in order to survive.
THE COURSES offered to students are math 21, math 3C, physics I and II, chemistry seminar, computer science seminar and slide rule.
The academic status of the students is decided through a special arrangement with the department heads. Students in SCoRMEE audit the classes of their choice, but are expected to participate in the class by asking questions, doing all
homework assignments and by taking all exams, including the final. At the end of the session, the student may elect to receive credit for the course. If he elects not to take credit, there will be no record of the course on the student's transcript.
If a high school student has college credit before he graduates from high school, there is a great sense of success. It is a great motivating factor, Darton said.
At present, all 14 students in the program are blacks. Plans are to recruit students from other minorities, Darton said.
in Lawrence in the past two years also made additional services impractical, he
"WE PLAN to do extensive recruiting at Haskell and high schools across the nation to involve Indians and Chicanos," he said. While attending the workshop, SCORBEE participants are living in Oliver Hall. All student living expenses, books, supplies and tutors, if needed are financed through the SCORMEF Fund. Fund receives contributions from large corporations that have an interest in the education of engineers, such as Mobil Oil, Humble Oil, General Foods and Atlantic Richfield.
"IHOPE you realize the implications of having two ambulance services fighting crises."
Marcum said that his study showed no community of less than 75,000 in the United States had a competitive ambulance system. But it did not change, as was Citizenza, or publicly operated.
Darton believed the program was very important. Urban renewal needs black engineers, he said. The white engineer doesn't understand the social background of blacks and other minority groups of the inner city, he said.
Dr. George Learned, Lawrence Memorial Hospital, commended Citizens for its service and expressed his doubt of need for additional service in Lawrence
Jan Carpenter, Topeka, an owner of C and C, defended his firm's service and training programs and asserted his belief that competition was desirable.
'THERE is no reason why an am-balance set so far is making it better, be told the Commission.'
Mayor John Emick said that the denial was in no way attributable to inadequacies in C and C's service, but that the service was just not necessary now.
Emick signed a resolution submitted by Bob Nelson, chairman of publicity for the John Hald Day Banquet, proclaiming the 19-10 "John Hald Week" in Lawrence.
Watson said that he would watch for repeaters who may be violating zoning laws and operating a business in a residential area. But, he said, the existing law required insurance and zoning laws were not a problem requiring licensing of garage sales.
THE COMMISSION decided that an ordinance regulating garage sales was not needed. City Manager Buford Watson said that a study made by him showed there were only 14 garages in January to May of this year, and that only five of those were at the same location.
In other business, a contract for construction of a chain link fence at the Water Plant was awarded to the Davis Fence Company of Topeka on a bid of $4,518.70.
The Commission approved raising the curb between Alabama and Illinois streets near Hancock Boulevard.
