State ACLU takes case of train foes
By JILL OVENS Staff Reporter
The American Civil Liberties Union has agreed to defend 22 people who were arrested Feb. 19 in Topeka while protesting the federal government's "White Traim," suspected of carrying nuclear weapons across the country, the Kansas ACLU president said yesterday.
Kaye said, "The 22 people were exercising certain fundamental rights of conscience. The train itself is a symbol of a debate that must be addressed by the society, and that's the debate over the future of our nuclear weaponry."
Michael Kaye, the president, said state ALCU officials voted last month to take the case. The 22 protesters, one of whom is a KU student, were charged with criminal trespass when they refused to leave Santa Fe Railway. They demonstrated against the train as it passed through Topeka.
Christine Moody, Topeka graduate student, was among the protesters arrested by Topeka police.
KAYE SAID THE case was scheduled to be heard July 3 in Topeka Municipal Court.
Kaye plans to speak to Lawrence ACLU members about current cases at 7:30 p.m. today at the Lawrence Public Library, 707 Vermont St. Lawrence ACLU president Daniel Wildcat said Kaye would discuss the case involving the White Train protesters.
Wildcat said, "We're hoping the case will go all the way to the Supreme Court. They haven't directly addressed the issue of people peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights on private property when there was no willful intent to damage property."
Chip Lowenson, national staff counsel for the ACLU in New York, said lawyers probably would argue that the Caucus was a public forum for political speech.
Les Davis, one of those charged and a coordinator of Midwest Agape, the group that organized the protest, said those arrested had trained in nonviolent tactics at sessions sponsored by Midwest Agape last year.
Davis said the train had passed through Topeka on its way from a plant near Amarillo, Texas, to Bangor, Wash, where Trident submarines were based.
Oregon examiner testifies in Culture Farms hearing
By United Press International
TOPEKA — An investigator for Oregon's corporation commission testified yesterday in a Kansas securities commissioner hearing about his state's investigation into operations of Culture Farms. The company, other companies involved in production of Cleopatra's Secret cosmetics.
The appearance by Jim Hendry, a securities examiner for the Oregon agency, prompted lawyers for Culture Farms and other parties to request a subpoena of investigative records of the state of Oregon. Craig Stancifle, attorney for the Kansas securities commissioner, opposed the request, calling it a "fishing expedition" to see what the Oregon investigation had uncovered.
Hearing examiner Chuck Briscoe rejected the subpoena request, although Hendry was to remain available for questioning through this morning.
Hornberger, an investigator for the Kansas securities commission, and Sam Walters, a Kansas City, Kan., promoter of the culture-growing operation.
Culture Farms is one of several companies involved in the business of producing Cleopatra's Secret cosmetics, made from milk-based bacterial cultures grown at home by private individuals.
Also called to testify were Steve
The commissioner's cease and desist order issued against Culture Farms in March was overturned by Shawnee County District Judge James Buchele.
Kansas Securities Commissioner John Wurth is attempting to stop the firms from doing business in Kansas, saying they have a pyramid sales scheme that makes its money from the sale of culture-growing kits, rather than from the sale of cosmetics.
The hearing, which began April 24, resumed yesterday at the Statehouse. It is scheduled to start again this morning.
