Nixon to Deliver Hoover's Eulogy
WASHINGTON (AP) - J. Edgar Hoover, legendary head of the FBI for 48 years, died at 77. President Nixon led the nation in mourning his delivery the funeral on Thursday.
Death came unexpectedly for the bachelor Hoover sometime Monday night or early Tuesday morning at his home, where he lived with a housekeeper, in the northwest section of this, his native city. He had not been ailing recently.
His body was found by a maid, Annie
fields, at about 8:30 a.m. EDT on the floor.

After the word had gone out quietly to FBI offices throughout the country, the news was announced a few hours later by the head of the incident, the acting attorney general.
Dr. James L. Lake, District of Columbia coroner, attributed the death to "hypertensive cardiovascular disease," an allment associated with high blood pressure. He said a heart attack might have been the direct cause but this could be due to another factor and he was not needed because the death was due to natural causes.
The body will lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda from Wednesday morning until 9:30 Thursday morning. A memorial to be held there at 11 a.m. Wednesday.
The funeral service will be at the National Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. the day of his burial, and the eulogy there. He said he did not plan to attend the Wednesday memorial service.
After the church service, burial will be in Congressional Cemetery in Washington
Through most of his life, Hoover stirred the patriotism and even devotion of virtually all Americans. But toward the end he attracted the heat of dissidence and, occasionally, criticism from presidential candidates.
Clyde A. Tolson, 0.2 man at the FBI and Clyde Hoover's closest friend, automatically become temporary acting director. But Mr. Hoover's Nixon will name an acting director today.
Prof Blasts U.S. Policy At Teach-In
By KEN HARWOOD Kansan Staff Writer
Harry G. Shaffer, professor of economics, told an antiwar workshop audience Tuesday night that if America's military expenditures were allowed to continue as they have and if the unemployment rate and domestic conditions were lowest in most countries, then become the most polluted city, best defended slum in the entire world."
Shaffer said that pollution represented the greatest threat to ever face the survival of the human race and he posed the pollution problem against what he called an expensive destruction of life and property in Southeast Asia.
Government expenditures for the war
three years ago, he said, totaled $30 billion
a year, a figure that comes to $1,000 per
second.
"Perhaps the cost is a little bit less now," Shaffer said, adding that he did not have figures which represented the current escalation of bombing in Vietnam.
He advocated the nomination of George McGovern for the presidency because of the fact that he had served as president.
"A new ray of hope has risen in the form of the election that took hold the audience that the most effective thing they could do for the cause of peace would be to work for the election of President Obama."
Shaffer said he believed that what this country needed above everything else was a good healthy ex-president and a good healthy ex-vice-president.
Referring to congressmen who totally back President Nixon in all policy matters, Shaffer said, "I have often wished that the president would need to kiss only his rump."
"The number of disenchanted Anteva lives and tired of fire and illness and unfulfilled has been growing by leaps and bounces. Shaffer said." America's silent leader.
A question-and-answer session of Shaffer's speech was interrupted by a student from the Movement. They request that the audience donate money to finance a trip to Minnesota to protest a government ruling that fish and hunt fish on their own reservations.
Shaffer's speech was a part of the Tachi Inch campaign, "A moment" but did not day in the Kansas University.
Speculation about a permanent successor has centered, variously, on Justice Robert C. Mardian, rear Supreme Court Judge C. Mardian, rear the Internal Security Division of the Justice Department; District of Columbia; Los Angeles County Sheriff Peter Pittenger.

Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey won Indiana's presidential primary Tuesday night, withstanding the stiff challenge of Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace.

North Viets Take Landing Zone, Gain Provisions, Offensive Position
SAIGON (AP)—The last government stronghold in northern Binh Dinh Province fell to the Communists today, giving them control of 200,000 people, a giant rice harvest to feed their troops and a farm for new drives in the 35-day offensive.
Several hundred South Vietnamese abandoned Landing Zone English, a regimental command post in the central coastal lowlands that had been under heavy attack and surrounded by strong enemy fire. The defenders had suffered substantial losses.
Field reports said the South Vietnamese soldiers and their families made their way, beginning about midnight, to the beach where they were picked up by landing ships.
Earlier in the North Vietnamese offensive, three district towns to the north of Saigon were bombed and the North Vietnamese. Many of the fleeing South Vietnamese had pulled back into the big base camp, once the headquarters of the Viet Cong, and visited later and the 103rd Airborne Brigade.
IT WAS NOT known immediately how many South Vietnamese were in the camp.
but one unconfirmed report placed the number as huh as 2,500.
The fall of English gives the Communists a base for their drive either to the north toward Quang Nigai Province or to the south toward Sapa, South Vietnam's fourth-largest city.
Elsewhere, battered South Vietnamese troops were forming a new line north of Hue on Tuesday in an effort to defend the old imperial capital. Enemy pressure on the new defense positions was relatively light, a U.S. officer said.
In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman acknowledged that the South Vietnamese army faced "a very serious situation" on the northernmost front, but predicted it would win a majority of the battles in the current enemy offensive.
Field reports said a total of 20 enemy tanks were knocked out Tuesday in action that flared at scattered points south of Quang Tri City.
U. S. AMBASSADOR Ellsworth Bunker conferred Wednesday morning with South Vietnamese President Nguyen Vui Thien, who was in training in 24 hours, informed sources said.

A senior U.S. officer in the northernmost 1st military region called Quang Tri a "major defeat" that "cannot be papered over as a strategic withdrawal or anything else."
He said enemy attacks against Hue, 32 miles south of the lost provincial capital, could come at any time. But he added that South Vietnamese commanders were "confident and resolute" that their forces could defend the city.

One hope that Hue could be held lay in U.S. air power, and for the first time in the war five aircraft carriers were operating with a coast with the arrival of the Midway.

With 88 per cent of the Indiana precincts counted, Humphryse was polling 47 per cent. Hammersley was polling 16 per cent.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson of Washington said Tuesday night in Cleveland he would not campaign in any more presidential primaries and would support the Democratic presidential nomination.
Jackson, running fourth and far behind the leaders in the Ohio primary, told newsmen "I will continue the campaign" for nomination, but not in the纪委.
THE OHIO ballot was complex; the count was slow, and a court order kept the polls open in Cleveland until one minute before midnight.
That meant the outcome in Ohio, where us'd delegate votes at stake, would not be a problem.
Humphrey, in Cleveland, said he was not surprised at the strong wallace showing in her show.
"I thought it would be exceedingly close." he said.
The former vice president avoided any victory claim. He said Wallace has "shown a tremendous ability."
"Mr. Wallace represents a protest vote in this country," Humphrey said. "I would expect he would continue making similar showings."
Wallace was not running in Ohio.
THE WALLACE vote appeared to have been swelled by Republican crossover ballots and by a school busing controversy in Indianapolis. Humphrey had the backing of the Democratic hierarchy and leaders in his campaign against Wallace.
In Indiana, the presidential preference test awarded 76 first ballot votes at the polls on Tuesday.
Humphries led for 54 of those delegate congressional districts with 22 delegates.

ALL TOLD, delegates were entered for five candidates, including Muskie.
With 3,037 of Ohio's 12,648 polling places reporting, the Humphrey slate had 91,623 votes, the McGovern slate 86,310, and the others trailed far behind.
But Cleveland votes were pivotal, and none of them had been counted. Nor were returns from Cincinnati included in those totals.
The balance of the Ohio delegates were apportioned among congressional districts.
McGovany delegates led for 44 convention spots; Humphrey contributed for 19.
Democrats voted in Alabama, too, and in early returns there, Wallace-pledged candidates led for 15 national convention seats and trailed in one. Twenty-nine delegates were being selected. There were no returns from other districts.
IN TUESDAY'S fourth primary, early returns in the District of Columbia gave a 2-1 edge to a slate of Democratic delegates running in behalf of favorite Walter E. Washington as delegate to Congress. They were opposed by an uncommitted slate of delegates.

500 People Expected for Marches In Kent State-Indochina Moratorium
By KEVIN SHAFER
Kansan Staff Writer
Thursday, May 4th, will mark the second anniversary of the Kent State incident in April.
In commemoration of this anniversary and in recognition of the 25th year of United States' participation in the Vietnam War, a memorial will be placed in Lawrence and across the country.
According to Bob Davidson, Salina sophomore and chairman of the Lawrence moratorium will consist of two peaceful marches and a "rally" that will feature several speakers from the Lawrence community. About 500 to 600 people are expected.
Davidson said that the aim of the moratorium in Lawrence was to create a framework for new laws.
"In no way can people continue to feel that we are apart from the escalation of violence in our country in that war. It seems by our silence that we are as much part of the war machine as our country. That's why we are doing the May 4th activities."
Davidson said that the focus of the event was not to be viewed as just a local happening, but instead the public should realize that the moratorium was nation-

At South Park a short orientation will be given for those participants who will just be joining the march. All participants will be matched that the march is to be peaceful.
Participants will march down Jayhawk Blvd., through campus, until they reach 12th St. They will go down 12th St, until they come to South Park.
THE ENTIRE STORE will then march up Massachusetts to Seventh St. Marchers will proceed up Seventh St. to Central Park around 12:30 p.m.
Marchers will be down 15th St. to kaismath Drive. They will then turn left on 26th St.
At Central Park, several speakers will be presented. Those scheduled to speak were William Stern, a Black community in Lawrence, I. J. Stonebaal, a farmer in the Lawrence area; the Rev. Doballin, a member of the United Ministries; Alice Pullam, a former city clerk; and James Todd, a representative of the Lawrence Peace Committee; and possibly several more.
Following the speeches will be a "peace gatherer." Coffee will be served, music will be played, and a welcome to all.

DAVIDSON SAID that he and a city commissioner drew up and gave to the city commission a proclamation that declared May 4 as a day of concern.
Davidson said although the commission was given the proclamation, they failed to
Davidson explained that the relations that developed between the community and the organization disregarded once the moratorium was over. Instead, he said, the organization that did develop could continue "not as a type of intervention but as a tool to work for social changes of all types."
Davidson said that although the University administration was not aware of his class, Thursday classes, information was released to all University faculty: A request was submitted to each faculty member that he call off his individual class.
"We feel this is a part faculty can plan in an involvement in peace activities." Devoted graduate.
Certain groups, such as Lawrence Peace Committee and Head Start have encouraged their members to participate in the activities, Davidson said. Certain Lawrence merchants have also agreed to close their shops to honor the moratorium.

Senate to Determine Bus System's Future
Bv HAL RITTER
The future of the KU campus bus system will be decided tonight when the Student Senate discusses a Housing Committee plan and finances a financial plan for the bus system.
The proposal, which was endorsed by the Housing Committee at a meeting Tuesday night, calls for a $1 per semester increase in the minimum source of funding for the system.
The proposed one dollar increase is only half the maximum increase of $2 suggested in one question of the student opinion poll being conducted today.
Ken Reeves, Shawnee first year law student and chairman of the committee, said the proposed increase was limited to $1 because of increases in several other campus fees beginning next fall. The university generate about $35,000 for the bus system.
ACCORDING TO THE proposal, the fee increase would provide 32 hours of service daily with three buses from Daisy Hill, 10 hours daily with one bus between Nawashmith and the halls and the campus and 12 hours of daily service from Ridge Court to the campus.
Reeves said the current bus fare of 10 cents for rides to and from the campus and 25 cents for rides downtown would be retained if the proposal were adopted.
The proposal also says that no other housing groups would have bus service requirements and an agreement from the other housing groups to pay a minimum of 50 per cent of the cost.
By paying a share of the service's costs, each housing group would receive bus passes that could be sold or given free to students in the group.
If A GROUP agreed to pay a share of the costs, the proposal would authorize the Housing Committee to increase further the campus privilege fee to 21 cents per group, but the total amount of the privilege fee required for the service may not exceed $2 per semester.
Like all the individual services, the bus service to Ridgale costs the Senate $8
He said the bus system's present service to the Ridglea Apartments would end after today, and he used that group as an example of an unprofitable service.
Revees said the cost-sharing plan was necessary for groups not stated in the proposal because of the loss sustained by the group. He also noted that providing groups that provided few patrons.
Dunne Ogle, president of the Lawrence Bus Company, which is subsidized by the Senate and provides the campus service, said that about 20 regular morning and evening
passengers with even fewer riders many hours during the day.
BESIDES THE $1 increase for the fall and spring semesters, the committee will ask the Senate to approve a fee of $1.75 per summer session student enrolled in at least four hours and a 65-cent per hour fee for summer students enrolled in less than three hours.
The summer increases were determined after Ogle said the bus system would cost $300,000 per year.
If passed, the Housing Committee's enactment would continue Senate funding of the bus system that began last December when the Senate allocated $15,184 to the service and cut its fares from 20 cents to 10 cents per ride.
The Senate's original allocation was intended to subsidize the system through March 17, but Reeves said that about $3,400 of the allocation was still unused
He said the system had cost $22,000 hourly charges by the Lawrence Bus Company, and had received $20,297.50 in fares, which meant it $102,705 of the Senate bill.
He said more than 190,000 passengers had ridden campus buses since the Senate began its funding of the system in December.
Meeting tonight for the last time this semester, the Student Senate hopes to approve the activity fee budget for fiscal year 2014 and several other enactments and resolutions.
The Senate has approved all budget allocations but those of the Black Student Association.
The first two allocations will be determined after the Senate hears a report from a committee appointed a week ago to study the requests of the two groups. An allocation to KU Bands will be made after further information explains the group's budget request.
Besides completing the budget, the Senate will probably act on 5 bills that would establish a new funding method for supporting the student and should amend the Student Publications Act.
The Senate will consider a resolution that would urge further work toward the new rules. The Senate would ask the University Daily Kansas to print the results of Senate roll call votes.
