Kidnap Death Penalty Bill Due in State Today
Topeka—(U.P.)The Kansas House will have a formal rollcall vote today which is expected to put final legislative approval on a bill to impose the death penalty for kidnaping.
Already passed by the Senate, the measure received voice approval from the House yesterday. If the expected approval is given the bill today it will move to the governor for his signature.
Introduced primarily because of the tragic kidnap-murder Green-lease case in 1953, the measure would push aside the present law which calls for a prison term of from 20 years to life.
Put Kansas City municipal and school employes under social security.
The House had a busy day yesterday with other bills, too. It gave tentative approval to 21 bills, 18 of which will go to the governor after formal passage today. Those scheduled for final approval today would:
Permit Wichita to up its bonded indebtedness for streets and sewer to 9 per cent of the city's assessed valuation.
Name U.S. 281 the American Legion Memorial highway.
Permit motorists to purchase vehicle license plates by mail for a 50 cent fee.
The Senate, too, put in a hard day, spending most of its time on appropriation measures yesterday. A long debate on an appropriation for building a 75-bed tuberculosis hospital at Chanute took over an hour. The House-passed measure would boost to $1 million the appropriation. It received tentative approval.
Tentative approval was given to 40 measures by the Senate in the session, while nine bills and two resolutions received final nods.
Another appropriation bill—the largest of the present legislature—was introduced in the Senate. It covered $17,711,995 for operating expenses in the state's schools.
Among those due for final passage today were bills to repeal restrictions on the area of operation of building and loan companies with less than $100,000 capitalization and to outlaw the enticing of a person under 18 to commit certain immoral acts.
KU Girl 'Tagged'
For Atom Attack
At least one KU student is ready for an atomie bomb attack. Since last week Nancy Harmon, college freshman, has been wearing a civil defense "dog-tag."
Miss Harmon's dog-tag is part of the civil defense program in the elementary schools in Wichita. The Wichita Parent-Teacher association urged the mothers of grade school children to buy their children "dog-tags" in the event of an atomic bomb attack. Popular and very common in eastern schools, the tags are worn by school children if they should become separated from their parents during an attack.
Being a patriotic parent, Miss Harmon's mother bought "dog tags" for her three small daughters. But
