Kansas Ignores Issues, Titus Says
By Joanne Prim
"Do you realize how dead politics is in Kansas?" James E. Titus, assistant professor of political science, spoke at the informal forum sponsored by the Young Republicans and Young Democrats. Prof. Titus is faculty adviser of the latter group.
"Issues should be brought up and dramatized by the party out of power." he said.
"Population growth and industrial development are not what they should be. The tax system is antiquated.
"There is too much reliance on property and sales tax. No severance tax is paid on the oil and natural gas which leave our state," he said later.
Earl A. Nehring, assistant professor of political science and adviser of the Young Republicans, said:
"If there are no issues, it is because the people are satisfied.
"Kansas is a conservative state. If problems are approached cautiously, it is essentially the reflection of the people.
"What they want, the government and political leaders will reflect. People seem to be satisfied with the performance of the Republicans," he said.
Prof. Titus said that it is difficult to gain a voice in party politics—meaning that people are discouraged from disturbing the status quo in the state.
"We go from campaign to campaign," he said, commenting on the Democratic party's lack of continuity between election years.
Prof. Nehring spoke of the effect which the Cuban developments would have on elections on a nation-wide basis.
"No one is willing to spell out the consequences," he remarked. "The incumbents are most likely to be helped.
"The Democrats thought it (Cuba) would have an effect, or they obviously wouldn't have used it.
"Of course, the Republicans must approve, since they've been urging action," he said.
Student representatives on the political forum were Peter G. Aylward, Ellsworth senior and president of the Young Democrats, and Reuben R. McCornack, Abilene junior and president of the Young Republicans.
Aylward made references to a magazine article which said that the Republican party is losing ground on college campuses. One out of six students of Republican family background were reported to be switching to the Democratic party compared to one out of 10 students from Democratic families switching to the Republican party, he said.
"The Democrats are thought of as the party of action. Republicans usually don't want change," he commented.
He gave the voting records of the Republicans against and Democrats for legislation defeated in the 87th Congress.
McCornack defended the defeat of the Urban Affairs bill on the basis of states' rights.
"A Department of Urban Affairs would provide certain relief measures, but urban affairs are handled now by the state governments," he said.
"Medicare was limited solely to hospital care," he continued. "Older people should have assistance, but it is unreasonable to tie the program to social security. They have no chance to decide for themselves. There are too many holes in the bill." he said.

HONOLULU — (UPI) — The United States detonated a sub-megaton nuclear device between 20 and 30 miles over Johnston Island early today, creating such a fantastic display in Hawaii that even members of Joint Task Force 8 were taken by surprise.

U.S. Blast Creates Weird Visual Effects
JT8'7, which usually provides a prompt official announcement on the tests, took 40 minutes to prepare an explanation. It said the fireball was not visible in Hawaii at detonation, but boiled upward over Johnston after the blast.
Metal Made Like Ice
FARMINGDALE, N. Y.-(UPI) One solution to the problem of shaping hard-to-form aerospace metals and alloys may turn out to be "almost as simple as making a batch of ice cubes," according to engineers here.
The shot created a weird Halloween effect over the 50th state, 800 miles to the northeast. Witnesses said it was brighter than the 250-mile-high megaton blast of July 8.
Manufacturing researchers at Republic Aviation Corporation report they have successfully applied the principle of using the force produced when water is changed into ice to shape metal parts. This freezing technique, they say, has accomplished the shaping job at a lower cost than afforded by the use of conventional forming machines and tools.
