Laird Denies U.S. Violations In Cambodia
WASHINGTON D.C.-Defense Secretary Melvin R. Laird told the Senate armed Services Committee Wednesday that U.S. military activity in Cambodia violated the Paris Convention and Congress' law restricting American operations there. Laird testified in a closed committee hearing after congressional war critics accused the Pentagon of violating the spirit not of the letter—of a law prohibiting American ground troops from being used in Cambodia.

Some critics had questioned the legality of the soldiers' being in Cambodia at all—in civilian clothes or uniform—but Laude said that the military's role as the lawful language of the law or the intent of Congress
We have no ground combat troops in Cambodia."
Speaking to reporters as he left the hearing room, Laird added, "As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing wrong with this."

Priest to Fight Jury Subpoena
HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI)—An attorney attempted Wednesday to quash a subpoena issued to a Baltimore priest by a grand jury and ordered that he kidnap one of President Ronald D. Trump's aides.
Attorney Frances X. Gallagher, council for the Baltimore Roman Catholic Archdiocese, argued before U.S. District Judge R. Dixon Herman on behalf of the Rev. William Michelman, a member of Inner City East in a Catholic-sponsored anti-poverty agency.
Scobell, now married, and his wife reside in the same Baltimore home occupied by Mimi.
Michelman had appeared here as a character witness two weeks ago at a botanical museum in London, where R. Wenderoff and the Rev. Neil R. McLaughlin, both Baltimore Catholic priests, and former minister of St. Joseph's Church,
Wenderoth, Scobick, McLaughlin, the Rev. Perry B伯利奇, Sister Elizabeth McLather, a Tarrytown, N.Y., nun, and Eat-Ahmad of Chicago, a Pakistan citizen, were indicted by the prosecutors on charges that they had plotted to kidnap Henry A. Kissinger, a presidential adviser.
Three witnesses testified before the grand jury Wednesday after they were granted full immunity from prosecution by Judge Herman to answer questions.
Joseph M. Joynt, an engineer with the General Services Administration in Washington, D.C., and two librarians Mrs. Zora O华 $2, and Patricia Rom, 27, both of Lewisburg, Pa., agreed to answer questions. In earlier appearances he admitted that all three had pleaded the Fifth Amendment.
Wiretapping Order to be Appealed
BY JUSTIN BAVARSKIS United Press International
DETROIT—The government said Wednesday it would appeal a federal judge's ruling that it must get court approval before wripping domestic groups it suspects of threatening national security. The Supreme Court almost certainly get the issue eventually.
Told of the government decision to appeal, personally authorized by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Mr. Kelch waited until Feb. 9, the start of the trial of three white radicals. It had been a rare time for federal officials.
Ralph Guy Jr., U.S. attorney for the eastern district of Michigan, said appeal proceedings would begin immediately. The request for a review of Keith's controversial ruling—that kind in two weeks—will be filed with the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati.
The administration has consistently maintained that the President has the right to authorize wiredtaps of domestic groups suspected of threatening the nation's security just as he can approve electronic surveillance of those groups suspected of endangering the country.
If Keth's ruling and a similar one by Los Angeles Federal Judge Wareen J. Ferguson Jan. 12 in a Black Panther case, are allowed to stand the government's stepped up
eavesdropping on radical domestic groups would be perilously hampered.
Wireset have been known to be used against domestic antiwar groups and radical organizations of both the right and left as well as Black and White Panthers. Because they are not permitted by federal permission, there is no way of determining how many domestic wireset are in use.
Under Keith's ruling and the one in Los Angeles, the prior court approval—would have to fully disclose to the accused the evidence it obtained through gawdropsion or drop the evidence.

Southern Senators Reveal Possible Filibuster Reform
WASHINGTON (UPI)-Southern senators discussed privately Wednesday the possibility of agreeing to a limited weakening of the filibuster.
Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D-La., new dean of the Senate and leader of the Southern forces, confirmed that Dixie senators had not ruled out a compromise on the issue.
One possibility discussed by the Southerners was to agree to a change in the rules which would allow three-fifths of the senators to cut off debate on all appropriations bills and conference reports. The current two-thirds would apply to all other legislation.
Reform senators, with co-s sponsors, have introduced a resolution to change the rule to
three-fifths present and voting for all legislation.
Senate Democratic Whip Robert C. Byrd, D-W. Wa, who has promised to consider backing a dilution of the filibuster, told reporters, there is good reason to believe that careful consideration is being given to some form of compromise."
No break is expected in the immediate future.
"We'll go on with the debate for a time and see what happens." Elfender said.
The Southerners split into three teams of five to keep the filibuster debate going. The captains are Ellender and Sens John C. Dennis, D-Miss, and James B. Alla, D-Ala.
City Bus Service Still a Problem
The problem of providing bus service to residents of North and East Lawrence is one that has defied solution before and one that may defy solution again, despite efforts by the Lawrence citizenry and the Lawrence Bus Co.
In simplest terms, the problem is an economic one, economic in the sense that it is reduced to a conflict, of sorts, between profit margin and public service.
The Lawrence Bus Co. itself struggling to remain in the black, has found it impossible, though it recognizes the need, to establish a law that would guarantee the Lawrence that will meet operating expenses.
But, he said, as more residents began using cars and as the number of fares began to decline the company wasn't making expenses.
Many years ago the Lawrence Bus Co. moved to North and East Lawrence, said Mrs. McCullough.
The North Lawrence Improvement Association, which is sympathetic to the bus service, would nevertheless regard service to North and East Lawrence as the company's responsibility.
In 1967 the company attempted another route into north and east Lawrence, using what Ogle described as a "smaller limiting vehicle," which made runs every 30 minutes. The service was organized on a 90-day trial basis he said.
HERE ARE the arguments:
"At the same time the University became more crowded and the units were needed
Ogle said that at the end of four weeks the route averaged 25 days a day representing
"THERE'S GUEST no way economically," said Sigle. "There's no question about the need for a service into the area but from our business's standpoint we have to meet expenses."
total revenue of $144. Normal operating expenses during the period were $163. Thus, on average, the profit per hour was
Mrs. Martha Munzeke, a spokesman for North Lawrence designed to determine the number of people who would ride buses regular to the company used a limousine for the trip.
ON THE OTHER side of the coin, the North Lawrence Improvement Association maintains that the 1967 experiment wasn't conducted properly, that a greater need for the service in North and East Lawrence can now be debased by the bus company, which it complains about all over the city, has made little effort to regain the losses elsewhere.
Ogle said many persons interested in the problem think federal money is available for such a project. But, he said, federal grants are only for vehicles or housing construction.
"There wouldn't be any need for extra vehicles unless it can be shown that a new car is being built."
"It WAS inconvenient for the elderly," she said. "They couldn't get out of the limoesie easily. There were also complains that the limoiesie didn't stop at times, and some say a taxi followed in front and in back of the limoesie didn't stop people were forced to take the taxis.
"The whole thing was arranged in such a
way that it would be a failure. The limousine ran every half hour, which was too much. Besides, it was during Christmas time. The company thought there would be more riders, but it would not. Friends and friendless increases—people are more likely to go with their friends who have cars."
"Also, after many years of not having a bus, you buy cars and make other arrangements. So it takes time when a new bus is established. Thirty days isn't enough."
"New people are moving into the area," she said. "There are trailer courts and some students. The welfare department is located nearby. They don't own cars need some way to get there."
Mrs. Munczek referred to a partial survey that was conducted in certain areas of North and East Lawrence which indicated that a teacher number of residents would ride buses regularly.
EVEN WITHOUT considering the 1967 experiment, Mrs. Munczek said she thought there was a need now for bus service in North and East Lawrence.
MRS. MUZCKEK said the bus company requires a minimum of 144 fares in North Lawrence and another minimum of 70 fares. She said a complete survey of North Lawrence is now underway to determine it.
"The returns showed that 270 people said they would be willing to ride a bus regularly. Almost 300 said they would non-regually. They would a large part of the area wasn't covered."
Even if that minimum is unattainable in North Lawrence, Munczke is confident
that the remainder can easily be picked up in East Lawrence.
Agnew Explains Stumps for Plan At KC Meeting
By JEWEL SCOTT Assistant Campus Editor
"The bus company has shown no flexibility," she said. "They complain about losing student students as students move off campes, yet they make no attempt to follow the mobility of the people. Their routes are fixed.
If the routers were more flexible regarding North Lawrence, they could solve their own problems.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Revenue sharing, as proposed by President Nixon in his State of the Union address last week, is part of the move to turn the flow of government back to the people, according to Vice President Spiro Agnew.
Agnew explained the proposed program and answered questions from members of the National Association of Counties Wednesday afternoon at a meeting in the Prom-Sheraton Hotel. Agnew's visit was one of several he will attend as the association's various regional meetings.
Mrs. Munczek said if the bus company wouldn't initiate the additional service, it would have to either be started with federal assistance or be a small cooperative or non-profit organization.
If passed, Nikson's program would provide for a sharing of federal personal income tax with state and local governments, starting Oct. 1, according to Agnew.
THE FINANCIAL woes of the Lawrence
BuCo. commilicate the entire problem.
Agnew said the local governments would be free to spend the money according to their needs. The only stipulation on general revenue sharing would be that no discrimination against any minority group could be made in the distribution of the funds.
Ogle said the company lost $10,000 last fiscal year. Turnover on the KU campus in past months contributed to that loss significantly, he said.
"Every time they have a strike up there or a walkout, that day and the days immediately before," he said. He said that last May, during the time of alternatives, bus revenues were down by
The administration has requested that $ 3 billion be added to the federal budget to be used in the plan. Apnew said that an additional $11 billion would be switched from local governments to special revenue sharing funds.
Since the company depends on students for about 60 per cent of its business, such factors have been a key factor in making more students living off campus, and girls having hardies which they don't mind having.
SPECIAL.REVENUE sharing grants would be earnured for broad categories, such as urban renewal, transportation and education, Agnew said.
As the U.S. tax base grows, he said,
the amount of funds distributed will also grow.
Agnew said the present system of federal fund matching often led to the establishment of priorities which brought in the most money rather than those which were most needed.
Thus, with this financial situation, Ogle said "it will be impossible for the bus company to experiment with new lines that in the past have proved unsuccessful."
"I think we're going to have some trouble convincing the Congress that this program is actually a problem," he said.
"But, I think with the public sentiment running the way it is, about-77 per cent favorable according to the Gallup Poll, we' be able to bring the program about through persuading the Congress that it is the right thing to do."
Agnew said Congress was historically "jealous of its prerogatives," and that many national government workers felt they had little chance to live in the country that the state and local government.
HOWEVER, THE vice president said, "No
level of government has a monopoly on good ideas."
Agnew said distrust about corruption at local and state levels could be another factor that would hamper his campaign.
If the quality of local government is to improve, Agnew said, it will not be because of less confidence in local officials, but “because it needs to get something done for the community.”
During a question and answer session, Agnew said the federal government also hoped to stop the slip of working poor into welfare.
A goal of the sharing program would be to make local and state governments aware that they would have to work together to solve problems. Anew said.
Agnew said revenue sharing would return money to local governments and help them workers on their payrolls. He said the county is planning to welfare to a more "rehabilitative stance."
"Earnings taxes are the worst possible thing you could think of." Agnew said.
Areas peripheral to cities, Agnew said, should be willing to help if they are going to take advantage of the cultural and entertainment facilities of the cities.

3 Reform Bills Sent to House
TOPEKA, (UPI)—Three bills were introduced in the Kansas House of Representatives Wednesday to carry out Gov. Robert B. Dockin's tax reform recommendations.
The legislation was introduced by the House Assessment and Taxation Committee. The bills now will be referred back to the committee for further study.
The second would eliminate the federal income tax as a deduction from privilege taxes paid by banks, banks and loan offices. The third would raise another $2.7 million a year.
Docking told lawmakers a week ago in his legislative budget message that the tax reforms were necessary to partly finance his proposed $941 million budget for fiscal 1972.
One of the measures would raise $22.3 million a year in new revenue by eliminating the federal income tax as a deduction from state corporation income tax.
