Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler said the US negotiators in Paris would meet in June to discuss Hanoi delegations for areas of flexibility and to test their sincerity.
He Fulled out the United States
countering with a packaged peace plan
of its own as it did after Hanoi's
10-point peace proposal last Sept. 17.
- The President followed this earlier move with his own eight-point negotiating package on Oct. 7.
"We now have proposals on the table in Paris which are very meaningful and the question now is to find areas of agreement." Ziegler said.
White House officials also told reporters that Ambassador David K. E. White, the president's team, would be leaving his post in Paris in August. But Ziegler forcefully denied reports that Bruce's departure was due to dissatisfaction with his performance.
Clamp on Poison
HOUSTON (UP1)—A chemical company accuses its employees of being dangerously allergic to chemicals that may have a close down if it can't meet an historic anti-pollution emergency mandate.
Charles R. Barden, secretary of the Texas Air Control Board, directed the company to install immediately all emissions of air contaminants along the Houston ship
"How they do this is up to them," he said. "If they have to close down, that's what it means. If they can shut down the windows, they can shut and halt all emissions, that's what it is."
Staufer plant manager E.G. Lang Mankau declines to speculate if the company has a declined comment on the state order and a city suit until he had time to study.
About 200 dockworkers and five members of a visiting New York City family have been sickened by sulfur dioxide near the Stauffer plant since April.
Ft. Riley To Test Volunteer Army
FT. RILEY, Kan. (UPI)—This designated test installation for the most modern of military concepts, the Volunteer Army, (VOLAR) officers
Effective July 1 and continuing for one year, Ft. Riley has authority to obligate a total of $2,584,000 on projects that are professional in the soldier; professionalism in the soldier; improved style life for soldiers and their families; for the individual soldier and the Army.
During the year's test operations, FT. Garrison includes hiring of civilian KPs for the four infantry battalions and using civilian juniors for theaters, service members and other staff.

A Lot of Bull
PAMPLONA, Spain (UP1)—The group jumped up today leaving at least 121 people injured and thousands with jumbo hangovers after a week of bullfights.
The last of the daily "encieros"—where young men race the ball on a field covered with another eight injured this morning. This brought the total of casualties in the eight encieros to 112, including six Americans and five Americans were among the injured.
Berrigans' Parole Considered
WASHINGTON (UP1)—The Rev. Philip Bergerian, central figure in an alleged bomb-kidnap plot involving presidential adviser Henry Kissinger, will be considered a national figure by a federal judge.
Both are serving prison terms for destroying draft records.
U. S. Parole Board Chairman George J. Reed said Tuesday the hearing on the applications of the antiwar priests would be held routinely at the board's bi-monthly meeting because the brothers both become eligible for parole before the next regular meeting in September.
Pherry Berrigan, 47, has served the required one-third of a six-year sentence and at three and one-half year concurrent sentence for Selective Service Act violations in Baltimore and Catonsville. Md. He becomes eligible for parole on the combined sentences Sent. 14 and is due for mandatory release Feb. 14, 1974.
His brother, the Rev. Daniel Berrigan, 49, will have served one year of a three-year sentence stomping from the Catonville incident when he becomes eligible for parole.
If paroled, the Justice Department said Philip would be required to appear at a bond hearing on the federal grand jury indictment in the alleged Kissinger plot. He and seven others were charged with plotting to blow up heating systems of federal buildings here and then kidnap Kissenger.
Philip was first indicted Jan. 12. His brother was among seven persons then named, but not indicted, as co-conspirators. The grand jury however continued to sit with the evidence of his indictment.
The World
Kennedy Says AMA Blocks Health Care Reform Measures
WASHINGTON (UP1) — an bilatering attack, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., accused the American Medical Association (AMC) Wednesday of obstructing the opening of a hospital at the University of Chicago.
"The American Medical Association puts the lives and well-being of American citizens below its own special interest in ordering its priorities." Kennedy said "If we were to make a decision about how to treat patients, we should do it."
AMA headquarters in Chicago issued a brief statement by Dr. Wesley Hail, AMA president, who said: "As Sen. Kennedy himself said on another occasion, 'We can recognize political oratory when we hear it.' We believe that the American people can, too."
Kennedy struck out at the AMA as he resumed hearings by his Senate subcommittee on administrative practices into the activities of presidential and
The new round of hearings will focus on the work of commissions in the health care field, which "remains one of the major unmet challenges in America today". *Kentucky
The sponsor of a broad new plan for a national health insurance, Kennedy said the findings of health care commissions and their recommendations showed "no amount of historical gymnastics can hide the public record of AMA opposition to virtually every major health reform in the past 50 years."
The lawyer said most Americans still can not obtain adequate health care and can be impoverished by the cost of any major illness.
"The organization of our health services is still a shambles. Why? Because the AMA and its friends in political life, and its friends in the health insurance industry have stood in the way of every major step towards an efficient, effective, affordable health care system for the American people.
"Instead of the scientific and public professional organization it was founded as, the AMA has turned into a propaganda organ purveying 'medical politics', for example, by promoting the use of anatomical illustrations."
Kansas NASA Base
TOPEKA (UP1)—A proposed $spm-$ shuttable base (possibly to be located in Kansas)-would require a 58,000-acre area surrounded by a 360,000-acre buffer zone and would mean about 6,600 acres. NASA spokesman said Wednesday.
Jerry Hlass, a member of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shuttle Facilities, said that he would own the centra $8,000 acres, the buffer zone would still be owned by private persons, but with an easement to prevent housing from being built, so his complaints of noise damage," Hlass said.
Hiass said launch sound levels within the central area would reach 120 and enough to damage buildings and equipment. Hiass said noise would reach a level of 105 decibels—not enough noise to damage structures or volume to a "rock band." Hiass said
G. P. Gaffney, coordinator for the space shuttle team, said the government would allow grazing and timber use in the area, similar arrangement at Cape Kennedy. He added that livestock are not harmed by the noise. "The cattle are fat and healthy," he said.
BELFAST (UP1)—A sniper's bullet Wednesday cut down the 10th British soldier to be killed this year while trying to keep the peace in violence-outlawed Ireland. An outlawed Irish Republic Army IRA had responsibility for the latest slaving
The NASA team used the base would employ 3,000 people in its "primary operations crew"—those who would actually work on the shuttle operation but not be part of the work on the base operations crew—including firemen and medical personnel.
Soldier Shot
The bullet fired from ambusk killed 29-year-old Army Pvt. Richard Barton, who was shot twice less than 24 hours after another sniper shot him, and David Walker just as he was going off.
Billboard Bandits
PORT HURON, Mich. (UI)- The Billboard Bandits' strike again, and by-14-foot billboard valued at $600 to $800 was chopped down during the night on U.S. 25 for 20 miles north of her home in southeastern Michigan since spring, cutting down signs on grounds that they could visualize the pollution of the environment.
BRUSSELS (UPI)—Belgium is stepping up the fight against illegal use of narcotics with creation of a special 85-man police squad and introduction of penalty penalties calling for a maximum sentence of 15 years hard labor for drug trafficking.
Newton Jailed
OAKLAND, Calif. (UPH)—Uriyay Newton's manslaughter trial erupted into a near free-for-all Wednesday in which the Black Panther cofounder was confronted of court and his angry supporters ejected from the courtroom.
Newton, free of $0,000 bond for the trial—his second on charges in the death of Oakland policeman John Frey in a 1967 shootout —was sent back to jail when he would not comply with Judge Harold Howe's order to "sit still and be guarded" in courtroom, packed with shouting Panther supporters, was ordered cleared.
The disturbance was touched off by the surprise appearance of Dell Ross, a long-time staff member who first trial in 1968 who contended that he could not remember anything
Police had contended Newton forced Ross, a passing motorist, to drive him to a hospital following a Panther-police raid. The grey was killed and Newton wounded.
Newton was ultimately convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 2 to 15 years in prison, but the court of appeals reversed the conviction on grounds of improper jury selection.
Ross testified that Newton jumped in his car holding a black-handed gun and said, "I just got two dudes but my gun jammed."
Following the direct examination by prosecutor Donald Whyte, defense counsel Robert Bessner continued innocence until Thursday before cross-examination Ross Hove turned in.
Earlier, as Whyte and Garry argued in increasingly bitter terms, Newton stood up at the defense table and accused Hove of injustice. The judge told him to "sit well and be quiet" "and when not did comply, ordered him back to jail.
Garry and Whyte had earlier been involved in another biter exchange between the two men, which was used as prosecution evidence in 1968 but which Whyte said
The defense contends the lawback was soaked with Newton's blood and has had to have his hand in his hand instead of a gun. Garry demanded a mistress over the missing

Heron said the University will need a new library in the next decade. He said Watson Library built in 1928, has had three additions and is designed so that "it is not an ideally featured building."
"Statistically, it's rather short of seating space," Heron said. "We should be able to seat 4,000 in the entire library system. We have seating for 2,500. This is somewhat more than there are used to many times when this building (Watson) is terribly overwrapped."
Another problem the library has is a shortage of personnel.
"This year the work load is going to increase," Heron said, "and there will be fewer, rather than more, people working here. The library also has a brieflisting problem. There are currently about 250,000 books that are only brieflisted and not tully catalogued. To the user of the card catalog, brieflisted books are not as useful.
Heron said the library needs more employees to speed up the briefing work.
"Increasing doctoral programs also mean greatly increased burdens on the library," Luther wrote.
Between 1959 and 1970, the number of masters degrees awarded at KU has increased 185.2 per cent, the number of doctoral degrees has increased 304.4 per cent, and the number of foreign students has increased.
The root of the libraries' troubles is the refusal of the Board of Regents and the state legislature to allot more money for books, library operation and expansion of facilities.
Market forces can not yet explain or make very many specific proposals for consolidation or elimination of particular programs.
Althan no date for Nixon's visit has been announced, Kissinger said diplomatic negotiations were underway to make sure the groundwork will be well laid. White House officials said Nixon will probably go late this year or early in 1972.
Kissinger said he has no illusions about an immediate friendship forming between Nixon and Chou; but he said there seems to be mutual respect already.
In 1968,69, the total expenditure of the Kansas University Libraries was $2,143,588. The total expenditure was $1,991,221. Here is some data: 1968-1970,1 would probably drop below $2,000.8
Heron said the administration has been advocating a new system of budgeting, called formula budgeting, used widely by other institutions of higher education. He said that the library submitted a formulated budget request to the school in which it requested an additional $500,000. This budget was turned down by the Board of Regents it never made to the legislature.
The annual report for 1989-70 summarized the success of the formula budgeting technique for that year: "It went down in flames with the rest of the band, but some day when the weather improves it should fly better than the old magic carpet."
With a shortage of employees and operating funds, another economy instituted by the United States is needed.
"This is a problem this summer," Heron said. "People who work during the week can't afford it."
Heron said that the library would be closed on Friday evening during the coming school year, and that the library would be forced to curtail its hours of service a total of five to ten per cent during the year. He added that the library had also been state schools were having the same problems.
who has been acute in civil rights and political campaigns for several years, had never discussed the ACU post with Cardinal John Cody or church authorities.
He also brought back memories—as the S. table tennis team did before him—of the 1967 World Cup semifinals.
The University of Kansas library system is not facing an immediate crisis. Libraries at KU will continue to operate. But they will be overcrowded, understaffed, and the quantity and quality of resource materials will continue to decrease in future years unless the Board increases more financial aid from the Board of Regents and, ultimately, the state legislature.
Once he began his 20 hours of talks with Premier Chou En-lai, he said, the Chinese leader proved to be better informed about some of Nixon's more recent statements than he was. He said Chou immediately started peppering him with intelligent questions about an off-the-cuff briefing Nixon held for newsmen in Kansas City July 6.
On arrival in Peking the Chinese kept their promise of strict secrecy, even to the point of whisking him away from the airport in a car and hiding its rear windows hidden by tuck silk curtains.
Kissinger Reveals Details of Trip
Kissinger revealed that and other details of us Peking trip during a chat Sunday aboard Air Force One as President Nixon and his party returned from California. Nixon called meetings of his cabin and congressional circles to briefaries today to continue discussions of his.
The following morning Chou sent him a copy of Nixon's remarks, in letters, with his personal notations on the margin and a note reading "please return, our only conv."

Kissinger declined to discuss what type of aircraft was used on his clandestine trip, and even what route he traveled. But he said one of the two Secret Service agents with him was kept in the dark- until he spotted a Chinese airplane, presumably on the flight into China.
Kissinger said he had to admit he had been traveling and was out of touch, save for press
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Henry Kissinger's trip to China was so secret that even one of the two Secret Service agents who went with him didn't know the destination.
The agent, Kissinger added, nearly dropped tus teeth.
Docking Fights AEC
TOPEKA (UPI) - Gov. Robert B. Decking Monday made a last ditch effort to halt the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) funding request for the nuclear waste dump near
"I do not believe the AEC has made every effort to determine the safety of the Lyons project. Many of our state's prominent scientists, knowledgeable in the technical complexities and potential dangers of storing radioactive waste, have joined with me in conducting the DOCK conduct further laboratory tests to determine the safety of the Lyons projects to determine proceeding with site acquisition and construction," Docking said in the letter.
The governor's office released the text of a letter sent by the Kansas governor to all 100 members of the U.S. Senate. The Senate will consider the request today.
The governor said the AEC "for the most part has ignored our concerns" and gone on to blame it.
Docking ask the Congress approve AEC funds for research on the project, but defer the requests for funds to acquire land and move the project until all safety tests are completed.
The AEC wants to take over an abandoned salt mine near Lyons in central Kansas for the nuclear waste dump. Radioactive waste would be deposited at the facility.
Spencer Closed This Week
Spencer library has been closed due to a 12,500 volt cable broken by a construction worker at the site of Wesco Hall Tuesday, July 13.
There has been a generator installed to keep the library at a cool temperature. It is not known how well the generator will provide the library until the cable is repaired.
Most of the staff employed at Spencer Library have been transferred to Watson
Spencer contains many old documents, manuscripts and rare books which might be destroyed if not kept in a controlled atmosphere. There are no lights in the library.
The closing of the library has caused an inconvenience for approximately 40 students and 55 faculty members who are using the library this summer. Three of these have been provided with space near a window in the library to continue their studies. Two are doctoral candidates and the third is a faculty member.
The Causeon Construction Co. said the cable would probably be required by the end of this year.
