Kansas Senate Rejects Plan for Reapportionment
TOPEKA (AP)—The Kansas Senate rejected Monday a plan offered by Democrats to reaport the upper channel of the Senate Apportionment Committee said a new plan endorsed by the GOB probably would be offered by the committee Wednesday.
The Senate also rejected Monday a bill which would create a political convention endorsement system similar to one under the proposed law, but a reconsideration vote on that proposal is expected Tuesday.
THE HOUSE gave tentative approval to placing on the ballot this year a constitutional amendment which would legalize the use of a computer in other forms of gambling. However, that amendment will face an uncertain fate Wednesday when the House takes a final vote, and a two-thirds majority of the House members, must approve it.
These actions highlighted the opening of the fifth week of the 1972 session, which ends March 10.
A Senate rapportoonment plan drafted by Sen. Harold Herd, D-California and Senate minority leader, passed the Republican-controlled Senate, with three senators not voting, and one amendment being offered.
SIX DEMOCRATS voted for the party in the minority party, Joe Steinkeer of Muncie and Joe Warren of Maple City, passed. All 31 wins against it were cased by Republicans who voted against it motivated because it put seven GOP senators into the same room as all other senators face each other in the primary.
Sen. Jack Robinson, R-Wichita,

THE CONVENTION endorsement bill, which supporters say is a positive step toward
making political parties more important, and opponents say will the effect of lessening the pressure on the parties, lost on a 21.9 vote.

mutual amendment waiver on a
future bill to accept certain proponents are to having the 84 votes needed
Debate on the Democrats' reaportionment bill was much shorter than expected in the Senate.
HERD EXPLAINED the hard very quickly, saying it broke only 11 county lines, provided for a 60 percent share of the per cent from the most populous to the least populous of the 40 districts and that it eliminated the state's four most populous counties, the basis of a veto by Gov. Robert Docking of an earlier Senate reapportionment
Herd, who said he didn't plan any reelectionism effort and was surprised Republicans didn't raise a "racial" issue, because Herd had been divided among the seven districts. Herd said his
plan had made no effort to protect minorities.
ROBINSON SAID his repositionment committee would meet Wednesday morning and he agreed to the meeting. He said it would be a 60-district plan with no more than 150 people on each court. He said he thought the courts are more concerned with preserving county and township lines than the suburban areas.
ALSO NARROWLY winning House approval was a bill to create regional health-planning groups.
Most of those supporting the pari-mutual amendment said the final decision should be left to the voters.
The house passed and sent to the Senate 23 bills, including one to impose a mandatory two-day jail sentence on people convicted of drunk driving. Vote on that bill, one more vote than needed.
Two attempts to amend the proposed amendment to alter who would receive tax revenues derived from pari-mutuel failed. The amendment provides for the money to go to education.

Minority Leader Moves To Seek Recall of Dole
TOPEKA (AP) — Manuel Fierro, chairman of the Kansas Institute for Minority Empowerment, told newsman Monday he was looking into the militia a movement to initiate the recruit U.S. Sen Bob Dole, Kansas' junior senator.
"We're asking our attorneys to look into what are the procedures for recalling a U.S. senator." Fierce reporters at the statehouse.
Fierro said the recall would be sought because Dole has "denied representation to his own constituents, and for his callous disregard for the needs and problems of minorities of this country."
Because the U.S. Senate is the sole judge of the qualifications of members, and because kansas law requires legal for seeking the recall of a congressman, it appears Firero's "movement" may be more vocal than his own.
"At the same time," Pierro said, "we are drafting a request to the Kansas congressional committee for us in investigation of all the expenditures of Dole, where he gets his money and how he spends it. We want to know if it's going where and where his income comes from."
Fierro said he didn't know the procedure for trying to oust a U.S. senator.
Fierro accused Dole of going back on his word about getting a copy of a General Accounting Office (GAO) report to the Mexican-american leader. Dole asked last summer for the GAO to review the report.
Fierro said Monday he had never gotten a copy of the GAO report from Dole, as the senator had promised him.
Any move to oust Dole would have to be initiated and carried out by the officials said. There is no provision Kansas gave to pennsylvania. If even there they said, it still would be up to the Senate to judge whether Dole would move.
The report concluded that Fierro had not documented expenditures of about $1,375 in travel expenses. However, the federal government had not charged any charges against Fierro.
NIXON HAS long been a critic of busing and arranged the meetings for recess rulings that require busing to achieve racial balance. At the time, busing was one of the three courses he preferred, said Robert P. Griffin,
THEERE ARE 28 different constitutional amendments passed in the Senate, aimed at curbing busing. Also pending in the Senate is a set of house-passed additions to an amendment to the use of federal funds for busing.
Instead, Griffin said, the manager should have a Cabinet-level committee to make an extensive study and report to him when he becomes from China.
Ziegler said the committee—consisting of Atty. Gen. John N. Mitchell, Secretary, Elliot McNally, Educator, Welfare and Director George Shultz of the Office of Management and Budget—has been in operation for a long time. A member of the union was not disclosed until Monday.
