Man arrested after striking a policeman
By the Kansan Staff
A 36-year-old man from Jefferson County was arrested early yesterday morning after he struck a Lawrence police officer who was trying to prevent him from entering a car that appeared to be on fire, police said.
An officer and Lawrence firefighters had been called about 6:20 a.m. to the 2100 block of Princeton Blvd. in response to an apparent car fire.
When the policeman and the firefighters arrived, they saw a man in a car slumped over the steering wheel. The ding and appeared to be full of smoke.
When the man, who appeared to have been sleeping, was revived at the scene, he tried to re-enter the car. A woman in front of him struck Offender Wheeler, police said.
The man, an Ozawkie resident, was arrested and booked for battery of a police officer and interfering with the duties of firemen.
Lady praises precinct politics
By JILL CASEY Staff Reporter
Wendell Lady, former speaker of the Kansas House, told a meeting of KU College Republicans last night that grassroots politics have immeasurable importance in gaining the support of voters.
Precinct chairmen and chairwomen are the basis of grassroots politics. Lady said. Each city has four precinct chairmen — a chairman and chairwoman for the Republican and Democratic parties.
Lady, who is now a member of the Board of Regents, served a term as ward chairman in the Overland Park precinct before running for "city office" in 1967. He was elected the 1967 council election. In 1968 he decided to run for the Legislature.
LADY SAID THAT his motives for seeking office were not altruistic. He said he thought that almost anyone had a drive for recognition, and that such a drive was especially inherent in those seeking public office.
he stressed, however, that "if you don't care about the welfare of your fellow man you won't last for long."
During the 1975-76 session of the Legislature, Lady was chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. She was elected in 1978. Lady was elected speaker.
The position of speaker is a "very, very powerful position because the rules of the House of Representatives make it that way." Lady said.
The speaker appoints committee chairmen, vice chairmen and all committee members. Appointments are based on qualifications of the legislators, but Lady said that the most "qualified" nominees were representatives who supported his nomination as House speaker. This, he said, is an extension of grassroots politics to the political arena itself.
POLITICIANS MUST return fa-
cilities they might not be
supported the next time.
The Speaker of the House also assigns bills to the committees, which he said was usually "pretty cut and dried." However, the speaker does
have the discretion to assign a bill to any committee, if the bill is not a spending bill.
The Speaker also determines the day a bill will be debated and appoints conference committees to amend bills rejected by the Senate.
After leaving the House, Lady was appointed to the Regents by Gov. John Carlin.
THE PRIMARY FUNCTION of the Regents is to determine appropriations for the seven Regents schools. University of Kansas is a member of the Regents and has the final say and all recommendations that are submitted to them.
"We stay out of the way in actual
expression of the University," said
leady sigh.
Lady told the group of young
adults in the room with a party,
but not to get carried away.
"Don't stop thinking for yourself. Too often the wrong people are in the ballgame and the right ones are on the sidelines."
Shamir offers key posts to opposing Labor Party
By United Press International
TEL AVIV, Israel — Prime Minister-designate Yitzhak Shamir has offered to give the key Cabinet jobs of defense and foreign affairs to the Labor Party in a national unity government, Israel television said yesterday.
Labor leader Shimon Peres has rejected the invitation, saying the ruling Lukipol coalition's policies are "unacceptable." However, he decided to call his party's executive committee into session Friday to decide the issue
A group of Labor leaders called the Ben-Gurion University study group said that Labor should consider the offer to join the government if Shamir would give the party five seats in the Cabinet he is forming.
FORMER JUSTICE MINISTER Chaim Shertok said that he thought Shamir had offered the possibility of taking over the court and that Labor should consider his offer.
Israel television said Shamir is intending to offer Labor two key posts
in his new Cabinet; defense and foreign affairs.
Mayor Elias Freij of Bettlehem, known as a moderate among West Bank leaders, said the choice of Shamir to form a new government meant a new chapter for Menachem Begin's ambitious settlement policy in the occupied territories.
"I don't expect anything different from a new Cabinet," Freij said in a telephone interview. "I believe Jewish settlements will intensify."
Frei, 63, said that with Shamir in power chances for Israeli-Arab peace and solution of the Palestinian issue the Israelist and it is going to be a long process."
Like Begin, Shamir advocates unrestricted Jewish settlement in the Biblical lands of Israel, which include the West Bank and Gaza, home to 1.2 million Palestinians and an estimated 25,000 Israelis.
