Communists Accuse U.S. Of Escalation
By United Press International
Communists from Moscow to Hanoi accused Allied forces Monday of a major escalation of the Indochina War and Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin charged an "outrageous invasion" is already underway in Laos.
The U.S. and South Vietnamese governments refused to comment on the charges and the Laotian government said it knew nothing of such an invasion.
Kosygin, in a statement broadcast by Moscow, said "American imperialism is expanding, with the help of its Saigon hirlings" in Indochina.
... An outrageous invasion of the southern provinces of Laos is under way, " he said. The statement did not make either whether the United States or America's allies of invading Laos.
The Soviet Premier, in his remarks, said: "The Soviet government could not help but give serious attention to the further aggravation of the situation in Indochina, where American imperialism is expanding, with the help of its Saigon heilings, where an outrageous invasion of the southern coast of Laos is under way; and where the gross violation of the sovereignty of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam is continuing."
Laotian Communists charged that "tens of thousands" U.S. South Vietnamese and Tibetan refugees from southern Laos. They accused the Allies of stepping up the number of deep 'intelligence' attacks on them.
The Pathete Lao, the Laotian Communists,
made the charges in a communique broad-
ed to the public.
"The spokesman of the Pathet Lao Central Committee issued a communique accusing the United States of massing tens of thousands of Saigon and U.S. troops on the South Vietnam-Liaotian border during the past few days while stepping up the number of military force内部的 deep inside the history of southern Laos," the broadcast said.
"These military deployments and activities are an indication that the United States is preparing for a new escalation of the war in Laos. The new U.S. war plan calls for a bombing of Vietnam-Thailand ground operation in southern Laos to be supported by U.S. warplanes."
The North Vietnamese Foreign Ministry, in another statement broadcast by Radio Hanoi, accused Washington of "intensifying and expanding its war in Indochina."
North Vietnam promised to "increase support" in Communist laos, Cambodia and Thailand.

Ecuador Asks U.S. To Withdraw Mission
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Ecuador asked the United States Monday night to withdraw its military mission because of the dispute over a $70 million ever fishing rights off the Ecuadorean coast.
Ecuador's Foreign Minister, Jose Maria Ponce Yepce, attending an Organization of American States (OAS) meeting here, said his government had officially informed the State Department that it wanted the U.S. to take action against 110 dependents pulled out of that country.
The United States placed a one-year embargo on all military aid to the Quito government last month after repeated attacks on an indigenous tuna boats by the Ecuadorian Navy.
The announcement by Ponce Yepez came less than 24 hours after a special OAS meeting of foreign ministers had recommended that the United States rejoin the United States and Ecuador.
State Department spokesman John King
told UPI that the note asking that the mission be withdrawn was received early Monday evening and "obviously their (Ecuador's) own set for the withdrawal" no time had been set for the withdraw.
The United States spends about $500,000 annually in training Ecuadorian armed forces.
Ponce Ypez said that Ecuador, in an act of legitimate and sovereign defense," seized the American vessels. But he said the United States would not allow such measures to mean the arms embark on rebellion.
"Thus the government of Ecuador has asked the United States to recall the military mission in my country. Its presence there serves no purpose now," he said.
Earlier, Ecudor had claimed a diplomatic victory in its "tunar war", snubble.
The OAS, at an emergency meeting in tuesday, voted against balfour with two members to unite their differences and leave their own differences over territorial limits. Ecuador said Monday it was "entirely satisfied" by the decision.

The Times said Connally was secretary and director of the foundation at the time of Richardson's death and in October 1959 he became executor of the estate.

Chalmers Asks Increase In Docking's KU Budget
By DAVID BARTEI
Kansan Staff Writer
If Gov. Robert Docking's proposed faculty salary increase of 1 per cent is approved by the Senate, 20 members will be taking a 8 per cent salary斗; Chancellor E. Laurence Chambers Jr. meets with the senate.
Chalmers, speaking to the Ways and Means Committees of the State House of Representatives and Senate, said KU has been losing ground in the field of faculty
salaries for the past six years.
KU's budget for next year is presently before the state Senate Ways and Means Committee for consideration. Monday's visit by the two committees was an annual fact.
A full professor at KU received $2,138 less than the national average last year; associate professors received $1,115 less than the average and assistant professors received $644 less than the average, according to the Chancellor.

Faced with the lowest faculty salary in
the nation, students rapidly eroding building program. University administrators and alumn officials have begin attempts to save education from
The University, and subsequently the faculty, are expected to increase in faculty salaries for the coming year. Gov. Robert Docking cut that increase to 1 per cent in his budget recommendations.
The Governor's proposed budget also revamped appropriations for building on the success of the program.
The 1969 Legislature had already appropriated the $1,044,159 for the physical sciences

building but the 1972 budget recommendations that $700,000 of that money be withdrawn and $462,000 of it be channeled into the building of the Geological Survey Building.
These changes leave KU's Educational Building Fund at low tide when building needs for the next ten years are estimated at about $5 million At a meeting Monday with the two Ways and Means Committees of the state Legislature, Chancellor E. Laurence
See ADMINISTRATORS P.7
"WITH CURRENT annual inflation at a rate of 1 per cent, it is not hard to see that the recommended 1 per cent salary increase will cause very serious deterioration in our financial system. In terms of what the money will buy for us, asking our faculty to take a 6 per cent cut!"
The recommended increase, if approved, would be the lowest since the depression years of 1935 and 1937, Chalmers said, and it was a sign of a new depression in higher education.
Chairmen addressed the two committees in the auditorium of the new NASA Space Station, and stressed that the proposed budget also welcomes KU in other areas, such as building
"In the field of capital improvements the Governor's budget almost gave us something unique in fiscal presentations—a negative balance." Chalmers said.
MOST OF THE University's request for $3.87 million for building and repairs was denied and $200,000 appropriated by the 1969 Legislature for the Educational Building Fund was taken away, he said. Another $44 million was spent on the physical science building was dropped.
The three most recently completed structures on campus—the NASA Spencer Research Library—were built primarily without state funds, Chalmers said. The NASA building received only 15 per cent of the two buildings were gifts from individuals.
A "bare bones estimate" of KU's building needs in the next ten years is about $55 million. That would not include the new humanities building and the power plant for the needs of a larger campus, modernization of antiquated structures, campus area or needs at the Medical Center.
Astronauts OK for Lunar Landing
"You will have noted that I am not able to point to any recently completed structures which we owne primarily to the people of Chalmers said. "That is foot for hought."
SPEAKING OF THE University's need for support staff, Chalmers said that the team is also seeking Regents' requests and even eliminated custodial and watchman stuff for new
"Already we are so short of janitorial staff that mice are attracted to the basement of Strong Hall to forage on waste paper and trash from lack of lunches," Chalmers said.
"We're almost at the point of having to choose between fifth on the inside and tailwings."
"We do appreciate the Governor's approval of ten new security positions, which we have been requesting for many years," he said. He added that he would be even happier if hiring the men could begin immediately because the men are needed and recruitment would be difficult.
Chalmers said, however, that he was glad to see improvement in another area of urban planning.
SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI)-Apache 14's astronauts got clearance Monday to try for a landing on the moon Friday morning after a problem with their spacecraft or a mystery as it appeared on NASA.
Space officials announced their decision after hours of trying to determine why the astronauts had so much trouble docking their command ship with the lunar lander.
"I feel excellent," 47-year-old Alan B. Shepard told ground controllers when he awoke late in the day, a few hours after the decision had been made to let him and Edgar D. Mitchell go ahead with plans to explore an ancient moon crater.
Chester M. Lee, mission director, said the clamps that were supposed to hold the two moonships together might have been jammed with a sliver of ice.

Apollo program manager James McDivitt agreed that it probably was "some foreign
Mitchell said he slept about four good hours, but Stuart A. Roosa, who will remain alone in the command ship while Shepard and Mitchell down to the moor, complained.
Service, America's oldest astronaut in active service and its first man in space a decade ago, left no doubt he was enjoying his first flight, since then, when he reported in.
Lee said that if ice somehow collected in the docking probe and caused Apollo 14's problems, it could have melted when the sun and sun rain erased all evidence of the cause.
Even if the astronauts are unable to dock after their moon landing, the two moon explorers could walk through space between the two moons. They must also be safely. Hand rails were long ago installed on them.
astronauts first tried to join the spaceships Sunday night. The fliers finally got the vehicles locked by slamming the command module and activating a different set of latches.
"But in no case do we really want to short-but this thing just because we're in a hurry to get something done. This mission is still as important as anything else, and we're going to take every precaution we can to find out what the problem is and fix it. We're going to do our very best to have the best match between the opportunity to gain and what we're best to risk."
The third spaceman aboard Apollo 14, Stuart A. Roosa, will remain aboard the Kitty Hawk command ship in orbit around the moon while Shepard, America's first man in space, and his rookie companion explore the lunar surface, also were the target of the ill-fated Apollo 13.
Officials said the sixth and successful docking试了 "normal." They said perhaps a foreign body had been jamming the cable, which shook loose during the unsuccessful tries.
The trouble popped up after a weather-delayed but flawless launch from Cape Kennedy, but when it struck, it was serious enough to raise serious questions for almost 24 hours whether the spacecraft would be allowed to try a landing.
