Food, county option cut from liquor bill
To place an ad, call the Kansan business office at 864-4358.
By MICHAEL TOTTY Staff Reporter
TOPEKA - A proposal to allow voters to decide on liquor by the drink was tentatively approved yesterday, although a joint conference committee cut two controversial items from the proposed constitutional amendment.
A separate bill will be written to include the items, which some liquor-by-the-diink supporters did not want to include as part of the amendment.
The committee, composed of three members from the Kansas Senate and three from the House of Representatives, removed a provision to limit liquor by the drink to establishments that received at least 30 percent of their income from the sale of food.
The committee also agreed to remove the provision that would have given counties the option to prohibit the sale of liquor by the drink.
BOTH PROVISIONS will go into a
companion bill, which would not be an amendment to the constitution and would require only a simple majority in both chambers for passage.
The committee is expected to reach a final decision on the proposals at its scheduled meeting at 8 a.m. today.
State Rep. Robert H. Miller, R-Wellington and a member of the committee, said he opposed including the county option in the resolution to amend the constitution.
Miller said members of the committee wanted Gov. John Carlin to agree publicly to sign the companion legislation before they would release the liquor resolution.
"If we're going to do it, let's do it right." Miller said. "Let's use good governmental sense and not clutter it up just to be obstructionists."
HOUSE SPEAKER Mike Hayden, R-Atwood, who is also a member of the committee, said that unless Carlin signed the companion bill, the liquor resolution might not receive enough votes for passage when it was returned to the House.
"There's no use just sitting here butting heads against each other." Hayden said. "Without a statutory provision, people don't know what they're voting on. We ought to have in law the guidelines if the constitutional amendment passes."
State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, said she still did not know how she would vote on the liquor resolution when the conference committee returned it to the House.
Charlton opposed the measure in its first appearance because of the provision requiring the sale of food. Such a provision would only clutter the constitution, she said.
The conference committee was formed to resolve disagreements between the House and Senate. The Liquor measure stalled after the senate voted in favor, but in both chambers to amend the constitution.
"I don't know how I'll vote," she said, "and I probably won't untit it" on the floor. They'll probably add amendments when it gets there."
The House failed to agree on several amendments added by the Senate to a bill to raise the legal drinking age to 21, and the Senate rejected the House amendment to the liquor resolution that required the sale of food.
At the center of the debate is an attempt to give voters the opportunity to amend the state's constitution and eliminate the ban on open saloons.
If a version of the liquor resolution emerges from the conference committee that is acceptable to both chambers, it will go to the state's voters in the 1968 general election.
The companion bill, in addition to the county option and 30 percent food sales requirement, is to include earlier closing hours for clubs.

Roadblocks foil escapes of 2 cyclists
By KATHY FLANDERS Staff Reporter
Two men riding stolen motorcycles early yesterday morning led state and local authorities on a high-speed chase through four counties and into downtown Lawrence before being stopped by authorities, Lawrence police said yesterday.
No one was seriously injured in the chase, which ended with the arrests of the two men on the motorcycles. Bryant Upton, 19, Kansas City, Kan., and Charles Fennix, 21, Kansas City, Kan., were taken to the Douglas County jail.
The motorcycles belonged to two KU students.
The chase resulted from a call Lawrence police received at 12:15 a.m. from an attendant at the Third Street Apo service station, 1010 N. Third St. The attendant told police that two men put gas into their motorcycles and left without paving.
At 12:55 a.m. a Jefferson County deputy saw the two motorcycleclubs at the Jefferson
THE DEPUTY PURSUED them to Tepee Junction, where Upton turned east on U.S. Highway 24-40. Fennix turned south on U.S. Highway 40.
Fennix ran two city roadblocks and went south on Vermont Street.
Police had set up another roadblock in the 1000 block of Vermont Street. Fennix went around the roadblock and into the parking lot at the Lawrence Community Building, 115 W. 11th
"HE LAID THE motorcycle over, slid through three-fourths of the parking lot, across the south street, and into a parking garage. "The entire motorcycle erupted into fire."
Lewis said police then apprehended him and took him to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for cuts and scrapes on one leg.
Fennix was arrested on a felony charge of possession of stolen property and misdemean charges of theft and attempts to elude an officer.

Persistent shoppers find bargains
By RICK ZAPOROWSKI
Staff Reporter
A department store shirt rack typically holds several items of the same style and color. But shop in a thrift store and expect to sort through polyester shirts with checks, stripes and plaids in a variety of colors before you find what you want.
Persistent bargain seekers frequent their favorite thrift stores two or three times a week. It takes a diligent shopper with patience to check the stores on a regular basis and find the latest books, discontinued albums and vintage clothing not available in the department stores.
Renee Epps, Topea senior, said she shop at thrift stores in Lawrence and Topea once or twice a week. She said the store's stock was the most necessary because the stock changed rapidly.
"You have to do that, otherwise you'll never find anything," she said. "It isn't like a story."
EPS$ SAID SHE enjoyed browsing, although she didn't like the "polyester parade" she often encountered on the rackings in the more crowded thrift stores.
Epps said the Salvation Army stores, at 16 E. Ninth St. and 628 Vermont St., had low-priced items, but the large quantity often made shopping inconvenient for someone who didn't want to sort through the unappealing clothes.
"It's a real challenge to go into a store that's full of garbage that you wouldn't want to buy, then to walk out with a gem that you paid $1.50 for," she said.
Epps said Barb's Vintage Rose, 918.12
Massachusetts St., carried higher-priced items but offered easier shopping. Barb's carries some contemporary but mostly vintage clothing, including tuxedos and costumes for purchase or rental.
STEPHANIE DART, an employee at Barb's and the daughter of store owner Charlotte Dart, said their clothing was more expensive because the entire stock was purchased rather than donated.
The Salvation Army stores receive only donated items which are sent to a Kansas City, Kan. store, where they are prized and distributed to regional stores, an employee said.
Most of the merchandise at Barb's comes from local residents, Dart said. Other items are bought from thrift stores and individuals
Dart said the store had the most business near Halloween, but it had many regular customers who wanted items for everyday use.
outside Lawrence, where Dart says the selection is larger.
"It's getting really popular," she said. "It's hard to keep our stock. People know if you see something one day, it won't be there the next. You have to buy it when you can."
But clothes aren't the only items sold at the stores. The used-clothing stores sell accessories such as jewelry, shoes, hats, gloves and ties.
People also can buy books, clothing, furniture, appliances and about anything that can be reused after its original owner is through with it. These items are available at the Salvation Army stores and at stores specializing in one type of product.
Exile Records and Tapes, 15 W. Ninth St., has been buying and selling used albums for more than 10 years. Shirley Phillips, owner and manager of Exile, the store often had an album turnover rate of more than 100 a day. On the flip-side, she said it could have a day in which only a few albums were brought to the store.
