Downtown Facelift Work Begins
Groundbreaking ceremonies were Tuesday at 9 a.m. for the downtown Lawrence law enforcement project. The final official beginning of an $833,923.60 project.
Pete Whitenight, chairman of the Downtown Lawrence Association, hosted the ceremonies. Representatives from all three of the project spoke at the ceremony.
"Six years ago this downtown improvement was just a gleam in a few people's eyes," John Emick, Lawrence Mayor, said at the ceremony. "Buford found that the money was available, and now that gleam is a reality."
A downtown improvement program has been in various stages of preparation for a number of years, and most participants in the brief morning ceremony appeared optimistic about the final realization of the project.
Don Robertson, partner in Robertson.
Peters and Williams, said, "This project is late and has been delayed long enough. I'm not going to delay it any longer. Let's get started."
John Scanlon, representative of Constant Construction Co., invited everyone in Lawrence to watch the work as it progressed.
He led the mayor over to the earthmoving equipment, where Emick operated the digger to lift the first bite out of Massachusetts St.
The improvement begins in the 800 and 900 blocks of Massachusetts. Work will continue on only one side of the street at a time. Present construction is concentrated on the east side of the street, where the 800 block is now curriculled. When work on the west side of the block starts, construction will shift to the opposite side of the two-block area.
Pedestrians will be able to move through the area in times. One lane for walking on the sidewalk is reserved.
Work in the 700 and 1000 block sections of
the area area will begin as soon as the first
block.
When the project is completed, Massachusetts St. from 7th to 11th St. will have been repaved and the center hump on the street will have been removed. Sawtoot curbing will be added, and there will be two additional block crossings areas. Three midblock crossings will be made and 210 trees will be planted along the curbing.
Best rest篝s, new traffic signals, new water fountains and ramps for the handrail system.
Private contributions will play a part in the project. The downtown landowners will pay for new sidewalks. The city will also foot part of the bill, in paying for street repaving and sewers. Federal Neighborhood Development Program funds will help pay for the actual construction, administrative costs and planning.
Early Returns Place McGovern Up Front

Sen. George McGovern took the lead over Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey Tuesday night as scattered returns were tallied in a crucial Democratic presidential primary.
But the verdict likely to decide who challenges President Nixon for the White House was at least hours away, because of a court-ordered extension of voting hours.
McGovern won over the unexpectedly strong showing of Gov. George C. Wallace in the New Mexico presidential primary, where Humphrey ran third. The wounded Alabama governor appeared to have gained half that state's delegates.
In New Jersey, Humphrey forces acknowledged McGovern had won at least half the 109 nominating votes decided by Tuesday's primary.
And McGovern won 17 delegates unposed in his own South Dakota.
The main event was California, 271 votes, winner-take-all. The counting there was stalled after a federal judge ordered the polls in San Francisco kept open for the weekend, until 1 a.m. CDT, to accommodate voters facing a long, complex ballot.
Secretary of State Edmund G. Brown, Jr. then ruled that no votes could be disclosed in the vote.
But the News Election Service reported some fragmentary and scattered returns, from 5 per cent of the state's precincts.
They read this way:
McGovern 86,890 or 52 per cent.
Humphrey 61,179 or 37 per cent.
Six other entries and a write-in effort for
Wallace trailed far behind.
In New Mexico, these were the figures, with 80 per cent of the precincts tallied; McGovney or 32 per cent. Murphy 40, 240 or 31 per cent. Mills 338, 280 or 25 per cent. Hampshire 33,280 or 25 per cent.
Under a proportional system of assigning delegates, that meant McGovern and Wallace divided the 18 nominating votes, while Humphrey got none.
In New Jersey, the vote count was slow and the picture confused. A close race developed for the seven delegates elected statewide. The 102 other New Jersey delegates were apportioned among counties.
With nearly 40 per cent of the ballots counted in the statewide contest, the top voteegetter on McGover's ticket had received 76,600 for the leading Humphrey entry.
McGoverson said he was encouraged by the New Jersey showing.
Humphrey insisted long before the outcrop in California was known that
California Balloting Extended
★★★
SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—A federal judge late Tuesday ordered San Francisco polls to stay open until 1 a.m. (CDT) to allow early voting in the state's long ballot in the California primary.
With long lines of voters reported at polling places all day, U.S. District Court Judge George Harris issued his order shortly after 7 p.m., directing the registrar of voters to keep the polls open three hours each day, scheduled 8 p.m. (Pacific) closing time.
The prospect was for a late count lasting into Wednesday.
Judge Harris acted after the State Supreme Court turned down a petition to lift the voting law. Further on behalf of six voters on grounds the long ballot, which required the use of two voting machines in some precincts, and the reduced number of polling places in the state.
Observers at polling places during the day estimated that the long ballot took an average of five minutes for each voter to handle.
It included 68 candidates for the city's first elected school board, a large number of city and state propositions, and contests for judgeships.
Haiphong Coalition Agrees to Probe Plan
BY MARTHA NORDYKE Kansan Staff Writer
The Haiphong Coalition decided Tuesday night to support a list of suggestions presented to it as SenEx's recommendation to the Chancellor for his ad hoc committee to investigate KU research.
While agreeing in open meeting to what they understood to be preliminary recommendations from SenEx, the coalition formalized their own principles concerning the actual composition of the ad hoc committee.
(1) Basic Charge—the committee should investigate all sponsored University research activities to determine whether they are in the public interest. Public interest means in the best interests of the health and well-being of all people regardless of gender, race, sex, age, etc. Sponsored research means any scientific or scholarly activity which is funded in part or in whole by a government agency—federal, state, or local—
The rough outline of the SenEx recommendation that Steve Hollis, a spokesman for the Coalition and member of the staff, attended 20 persons attending the meeting stated:
(2) Scope of the investigation—The investigations may include, on each project reviewed, any or all of the following: (a) origin and history; (b) expected results and anticipated or actual users or uses of the results; (c) how the research was funded; and (d) the research was implemented and the actual findings.
(3) Report and dissemination-The committee shall publish its detailed findings of fact, conclusions, and any recommendations. Copies of the full report
Recommendations from both groups will be presented to the Chancellor next week.

SAIGON (AP)—The South Vietnamese said Tuesday they had driven North Vietnamese forces from the vital central highlands provincial capital of Konmau after the assault. On the southern coast, a rush of energy on the fresh attack to Saigon's western flanks.
He said that even after California, one third of the nominating delegates would remain to be chosen. He also said Wallace would have a large bio of delegates, and that whoever got the nomination would have to deal with them.
A communique from the Saigon command said South Vietnamese units clashed with U.S. forces three times in rooting out the remaining enemy from the northern sector of Kontum. It said 411 enemy were killed with heavy air and naval attacks, and 26 government troops killed and 28 wounded.
defeat would not spell the end of his quest for a second White House nomination.
MGcovern said in an ABC television interview that despite the tough campaign he and Humphrey waged in California, he had the race would leave lasting political wounds.
He claimed battles in and around the city had cost $5,868 North Vietnamese lives.
"I expect to be talking to Sens. Edmund S. Muskie and Humphrey shortly," he said in Los Angeles. "But I'm not going to bring anyone on anybody to drop out of the race."
The Coalition decided to request that additional copies of the reports from the ad hoc committee be placed in all University libraries for general access. They would also require a regular progress reports from the community and be available to the Kansas for publication.
A spokesman for the 2nd Military Region
inquariers in Fleiku said, "the fighting in
Kaizu has been good."
Hells said he drafted the rough outline from his interpretation of a SenEx preliminary recommendation paraphrased to him by Ron Calgaard, associate dean of Liberal Arts and SenEx chairman.
Field reports said 42 enemy troops were killed. Government losses were put at seven men killed and 67 wounded. The fighting occurred near such familiar battlegrounds as Cu Chi and Trang Bang district towns.

On the southern front, enemy forces attacked four different positions of government militiamen along Highway 1 ranging from 25 to 40 miles northwest of Saigon along the Saigon River corridor, a infiltration route leading toward the capital.
The spokesman said he had no report on government losses, but other sources said at least 1,000 South Vietnamese troops were killed or wounded.
The second recommendation, concerning membership of the committee, agreed upon by the Haiphong Coalition, called for the following considerations:
since full-scale retaliatory bombing resumed two months ago. The U.S. planes reported shattering more than 100 supply boats.
Hauan's official Vietnam news agency claimed in a broadcast that two U.S. F4 Phantoms were shot down Tuesday in Yenan province, attacking "a number of populated areas."
The advances in Konton followed days of probes around three key positions in the town's north and southeast sectors held by the enemy.

Nixon already had the delegates for renomination.
In the first scattering of Republican ballots in California, President Nixon was capturing 91 per cent against conservative Rep. John M. Ashbrook of Ohio.
It was Nixon in a 90 per cent walkaway in New Mexico, too.
The other names on the California ballot were those of Sen. Edmund S. Muskie of Maine, and Henry M. Jackson of Washington, Mayors Sam Yorty of Los Angeles and Sen. V Lindsay of Hawaii for Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy and Rep. Chushim.
McGovern heavily favored in California public opinion polls, had ended his California campaign a bit early to make a stop in Abuquerque, N.M., then fly to Houston, Tex., to confer with Democratic governors critical of his liberal stance and influence in the South, already briefly in the South, of a ticket headed by the South Dakota senator.
The election eve New Mexico campaign stop by McGovern made the stiff challenge posted by Wallace, still hospitalized after a horrific assassination attempt, the more surprising.
A write-in effort was staged for Wallace. But in fact, only McGovney and Humphrey had a chance in the winner-take-all contest.
McGovern's national count was 537%. He was second with 318. Humphrey had 290%.
Angela Plans Long Tour In Appreciation of Support
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Angela Davis will leave Friday on a three-week nationwide tour to thank her supporters winding up at a star-studded "Evening with Angela" in New York, a spokesman said Tuesday.
After the June 29 Madison Square Garden tribute, the spokesman said, Miss Davis will leave for a six-week European trip in either the Soviet Union or Bulkaria.
When Miss Davis returns to the United States in mid-September, spokesman
She was accused of furnishing four guns and helping plot a 1970 courthouse escape attempt which failed and ended in four deaths.
Miss Davis, 28, a black Communist and former UCLA philosophy instructor, was acquitted Sunday by an all-white jury of murder-kidman-conspiracy charges.
Stephanie Allan said, she will begin
organizing the organization for
filling up of repression.
Charlene Mitchell, executive director of Miss Davis's defense committee, said Miss Davis will leave for Los Angeles Friday for several days, then travel to San Antonio June 15, Chicago June 17, Detroit June 18 and New York June 20. She also probably visit Memphis, Tenn., and her homeetown, Birmingham, Ala., but no dates have been set.
At the Madison Square Garden tribute, Miss Allan said Miss Davis would speak and there would be entertainment by Oscar Davis, Jimmie Witherspoon, Melba Moore, Chita Rivera and the Persuasions. The gala is being sponsored by the Athens Ballet Fund in a campaign raised thousands of dollars in the campaign to "Free Angel."
