Seaton Asks Students' Aid in Pollution Fight
Bv MARILYN WILLIAMS
and DICK HAY Kansan Staff Writers
Students could be the answer to helping the limited staff of the Kansas attorney general's office investigate consumer fraud and Dick Seaton said in an interview Tuesday.
The 32-year-old Seaton is the Republican candidate for Kansas attorney general.
Seaton also spoke at a question and answer session to KU law students Tuesday at Green Hall. His appearance was sponsored by the Student Bar Association.
He said that several University of Kansas new students helped investigate pollination and predation.

"Our main problem is better enforcement," he said. "Kansas has a very up to date criminal code. We need more, better-trained police and better nage for them."
SEATON VIEWS CRIME as one of the major problems in Kansas. He said that the crime rate was up 28 per cent in Wichita alone and the national rate was up 11 per cent.
Seaton said that he would try to use his influence as attorney general to push measures through the state legislature aiding law enforcement.

More Taken Into Custody At Kent State
KENT, Ohio (UPI)—Four more persons, including a former student wounded at Kent State University the day four students were arrested in national Guardmess, were arrested Tuesday.
Taken into custody on warrants issued by a special state grand jury which investigated the Kent shootings were Alan Canfor, 21, Ohio; Ohio; Douglas C. Cormack, 20, Willoughby Heights, Shub, 19, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, and Kenneth Hammond, 21, of Mayfield Heights, Ohio.
The arrests brought to seven the number of persons taken into custody since the grand jury indicted 25 persons last Friday after a campus shooting deaths last May 4.
Canfarca suffered superficial wounds of the wrist when guardians opened fire during a car accident, and with second degree riot, also was indicted last month by the regular Portage County grand jury.
Cormack, who had never attended Kent State, was charged with first degree riot, interference with a fireman at the scene of a fire and tossing rocks at firemen.
Sub, a former Kent student, was indicted on charges of first and second degree riot and an attempt to burn property. Hammond, a judge in State, was charged with second degree riot.
Craig Morgan of Upper Arlington, Ohio, student body president, was arrested Monday by Portage County sheriff's deputies. His team touched off a shock wave on the carusms.
At a news conference Tuesday, Morgan said students were "afraid to do anything for the very reason they might harm the case of those indicted."
Morgan, who said he was advised by his attorneys not to discuss his case, talked about the role of Chicago Seven attorney William Woolf in possible defense of those who were indicted.
"We are attempting to see that people who need lawyers are put in touch with those who need them."
"Despite adverse publicity, Mr. Kurstler is nonetheless probably, one of the best attorneys in the country."
Kunstler spoke at Kent Monday night and said the indictments were a form of "Mississippi justice." He said he would send the judge to coordinate a defense for those indicted.
Morgan emphasized that none of the persons indicted to date were required to accept

crime. He said some judges would not communicate to prison because of the state the prisoners are in. Our prison needs more money, he said, and training and better trained personnel, he said.
The KBI has a role in assisting law enforcement officials on university campuses when crimes were committed and to provide intelligence on future crimes. Seaton said,
"I've advocated a full time narcotics division for the KBI," Seaton said. "They would work all over the state—not just in Lawrence."
This statement was in reply to a statement Monday by Vern Miller, Democratic candidate for attorney general. Miller said he would use the forces of the attorney general's team to bring the activities in the "drug-ridden hirte commine at Lawrence" to a halt.
"If there is a crime, it's the KBIs. It's not, it's not their business," Seaton said.
HE SAID CONSUMER PROTECTION needed to be expanded and continued as evidenced by the fact that the attorney has filed a complaint over 2,000 complaints of fraud last year.
"We've been successful in getting lots of people's money back," he said, adding that $3.5 million had been recovered in price and damages in Kansas in the last 18 months.
Anti-trust programs need to be carried on as they haven't been in the past. Seaton said
ON POLLUTION, Seaton said that there was a common law precedent allowing for the death of all those who were in contact.
An anti-pollution bill was drafted with his help. Senton said, but it failed to make it a law.
Seaton described a major problem in solution control as not having lawyer manpower to work against pollution. One full team worked on pollution problems is needed, he said.
Seaton suggested a new pollution division as added to the attorney general's office, and he said that the governor would
Turning to university problems, Seacon sasan universities, including KU, need more on the sceneal legal advice by someone who is paid for it; it said this should not be a peace keeping role. Instead, a lawyer who advises on the rights and responsibilities of students and faculty.
WHEN ASKED ABOUT COMUNISTS teach at universities, Seaton said he personally felt they should not be able to teach or work in state jobs. Communists are a minority in government; they have no right to learn their living through that government, he says.
However, Seaton said, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Communists could not be fired because of their membership in the Communist party.
Seaton said he personally was in favor of the 18-year-old right-to-vote issue. However, he said he had no real influence on whether it would be adopted.
Answering a question on the accuracy of polls, Seaton said that she usually distract the voters from the issues.
He said, "The poll that really counts is the one on the third of November."

Rainy Campaign

Nixon Attacks Busing in Trip Through South
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (UP1)—President Nikon campaigned in the rain in Dixie and the Midwest on Tuesday, calling for the election of "Nixon team" senatorial schools and delivering barbs against compulsory school busing.
He flew out from Kansas City and touched down on Johnson City, Tenn., to urge the defeat of longtime Senate debt Alore DGew at the hands of GOP Rep. William Brock.
A mountain rainstorm was pouring upon when Nixon sat hasteless before a crowd of 15,000 in the courthouse square at Asheville, helping the "neighborhood school concept."
It also tainted hard Tuesday night when he came to Fort Wayne to boost the Republican candidacy of Rep. Richard Roudbeau Indiana Democrat Democrat, Vance Hartke.
Despite the downpour, the President was thoroughly enjoying his warmest receptions for the news and political cause—to press for the election of GOP candidates for Congress who are locked in a deadlock.
Despite the efforts of Secret Service men to hurry the President off to a hotel and a downtown rally, Nixon kept at the task of greeting Hoosiers for at least five minutes.
Hurrying on across the Great Smoky Mountains to North Carolina, the President looked at the thousands of children in the *aboveville* audience—the youngsters had been
But the President was a doughy campaigner, going up and down a chain fence shaking hands and even putting his fingers in her mouth. The fence to wriggle a glove to children.

"When I look at these small children here 1 before a child is better off going to a school closer to home, do not hold the constitutional mandate that the desegregated requires compulsory busing for the sole purpose of achieving an arbitrary level in education to destruct the quality education of our children."
Trailing him were Republican Gov. Edgar McInchob and Roudebush, whom Nixon pronounced had been released at the airport as "truly a member of the military" man who will work with us and not against us.
TWA Strike Negotiations Continue
WASHINGTON (UP1)—About 5,400 stewardess and stewards stuck Trans World Airlines Tuesday over demands for higher pay and improved wording conditions, in order to all of the company's domestic flights and amounting half of TWA's overseas operations.
The walkout began at midnight after negotiators from the airline and the Transportation Workers Union failed to agree on a deal, with some leaders at National Mediation Board headquarters.
Negotiations resumed Tuesday afternoon, but there was no indication what disputes, other than wagers, remained unresolved. After the Monday night session, federal officials sent a letter to Jr. said the union and TWA "had succeeded in resolving a major majority of the issues."
A union spokesman, however, told UPI the airline negotiators had "retrogressed and are offering less than what they were a month ago."
"they are really bargaining in bad faith," said TWU executive Vice President James Kowalski, who were close to agreement a month ago, but they still number of items we thought were resolved."
He also said TWA's money offer was "way

Norbert Dreiling, Douglas County Democratic chairman, urged closing the Rock Chalk area and denounced George Washington's night at the Douglas County *4-H* grounds.
Dreiling, the featured speaker said, "The Drilling, the featured speaker said, 'The Democratic Party of Kansas is not only dedicated to all-out support for Docker's efforts to keep the schools open, but, in addition to that, to keep the schools开放, toidicate Vern Miller's announced plans to get to the root of the drug problem in this state. If that means landing in the drug infested hippopotamus in Lawrence with sufficient undercover agents to eradicate these dregs on the ground, in the forefront of Vern Miller's support."
"The system works and it reacts," said Drinking. "Those who say it doesn't work are wrong."
Drelling went into depth explaining the "third term issue." He said that when a Republican was running for a third term many editors chose to ignore this fact. But, in part because of his unusual third term," newspapers brought attention to this fact in an unfavorable manner.
Dreiling said that Vern Miller, Attorney General candidate, would immediately, if elected, move into the Rock Chalk area and drive the drug environment that prevails there.
"We Democrats are so sincere about cooperation with a lawman who knows the difference between liberty and license, lawful protest and unlawful injury to persons and property, that we ask all voters to support candidates who best symbolize that dedication to the elderly society. As further evidence there ushows that the voters of Douglas County vote for the Republican candidate for sheriff and thurnumbs down on the type of law enforcement preached by the self-proclaimed hippy candidate, George Kimball."
The Fort Wayne appearance ended this week's scheduled campaign swing for Nixon and he flew aboard Air Force One to Andrews Station, then he helicoptered to the White House.
Three Witnesses Called by Army In My Lai Trial
Javis Brink, Douglas Democratic candidate chairman said, "Kimball is not going to step up."
Dreiling ended his speech by denouncing George Kimball.
"DeCoursey wanted to let me speak," said Kimbail. "Brink said 'You're not welcome here, Kimbail. Get out of here and take your circle with you.'"
Kimball said a notice appeared in the Lawrence Journal-World inviting all Democratic candidates to speak at the dinner.

Security at Andrews was the tighest in memory. Reporters who routinely attend Air Force One's take-offs and landings were for the first time required to identify themselves to the base and had to pass three Seber Security check points before reaching the terminal apron.

FT. HOOD, Tex. (UPI)—The Army, calling only three witnesses who said they had seen St. David Mitchell aim and fire his combat rifle into a ditch filled with Vietnamese civilians, abruptly ended its case Tuesday in the first My Lai massacre court-martial.
Mitchell's attorney, Ossie Brown, obviously surprised at the fast ending of the Army's testimony, told the military court he would begin defense testimony Wednesday.
Capt, Michael Swan, the prosecuting attorney, announced at 1:02 p.m. he had finished his case against Mitchell, 30, of St. Francisville, La.
The Army called three witnesses who served in Mitchell's platoon at the time of the alleged massacre at My Lai March 16, 1985. Two women and a man were killed. Nineteen Vietnam men, women and children.
Four other prosecution witnesses were blocked from testifying because they had previously appeared before a congressional hearing in secret testimony not yet made public.
Gregory Olsen, a Portland, Ore., college student who served with Mitchell, testified Tuesday he saw the Louisiana army ally him a friend. He said Vietnam rose, women and children.
"At that time, I heard M16 rifle shot," said Olsen, the third and final witness in the Army's attempt to prove that Mitchell had been sent to murder 30 Vietnamese civilians.
Mitchell is the first of 17 persons charged on under investigation in the alleged massacre. Brown, his attorney, said he expected the prosecution to call at least nine witnesses.
But unlike two earlier witnesses, Olsen said he could not be sure Mitchell actually fired him.
A TWU spokesman said stewardesses now earned a $76 to $80 a month on domestic flights for 68 hours of work. On international flights between #423 and #596 for the same hours.
In opening testimony Monday, Charles Sledge of Sardis, Miss., and Dennis Cornil of Providence, R.I., said they had seen Mitchell firing into the ditch.
The Stewartresses and pursers had worked without a contract for 17 months while demanding wage increases of up to 30 per cent and improved fringe benefits which included more expense money, more maternity leave and better working hours and working conditions.

Doctor's Car Found
National Forum Cites Horrors Of Institutions
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Blondie Caires Townsend, of Locusville N.Y., who worked last summer in a Washington, D.C. nursing home, said Tuesday she came away "just horrified" at how American society treats its old people.
"On my first night, one woman was sitting neglected in her own filch, crying and begging for me to put her in bed," she said. "My nurse draped her from her wheelchair, threw her onto the bed, striped her, threw a nightgown over her and left. When I was sleeping, she ran out."
Miss Townsend was one of seven girls who worked in nursing homes for a study of women with dementia. Nader, and she testified at a national forum on nursing homes organized by Rep. McCormick.
Most of the witnesses, representing old people, churches, unions and other groups, were nursing homes well run. But in other cases the federal government is not enforcing its own standards despite the fact it can Medicare and other programs through Medicare and other programs.
Other witness told of elderly patients living amid filth, brutality, suffering and neglect. They said some patients were regularly dragged to keep them quiet and some were forced to buy needles medicines to take up the disease far above those charged in drug stores.
Pryor organized the forum because he was unable to get congressional action on his request for an investigation of nursing homes. He has said that many operated as "human junkyards" and were a national scandal.
The car was found about 15 miles from where Ota, his wife, his two young sons and his older sister were taken. Monday night, shot to death and left in the swimming pool of Ota's $300,000 home.
The car had been set on fire.
Administrative assistant Lou Keller of the Santa Cruz County sheriff's office said the blackened vehicle was found near the small town of Saratoga, where a 19-year-old service station attendant was found killed—also and shot—several hours after the Ohta killing.
He said officers still could not link the killing to the Otta murders, but "you can get to Saratoga through any of those backroad" from the point where the car was found.
Oat, 47, a wealthy Japanese-American eye doctor; his blonde wife virginia, 41; his sons Derrick, 12, and Taggart, 11; and his secretary, Dorothy Cadwallader, 38, were bound with silk scarves and shot to death on Monday in what police called "an execution."
The killers set the sprawling house on fire. The bodies were found by firefighters who answered the call.
Santa Cruz County Sheriff Douglas James called the mass murders the most gruesome one.
He said more than one killer was probably involved, but police had no motive, no weapon and only one solid lead — the green Oldsmobile wagon, which was missing from the house.
James said bodies of the Ottan and their neighbours were buried in a shaped pool, surrounded by three wings of the sprawling wood and stone house, on a steep ridge overlooking the Pacific. The secretary's office is a few hundred feet from the
The killers apparently shot the victims, set the house on fire, blocked both entrance driveways with Okta's red Rolls Royce and a BMW. The presidential and escaped in the station wagon.
Several hours later and 20 miles away, another killing occurred bearing similarities to the Otta nurses. The body of Thomas Dececco, 19, was found bound and shot in a room utility at a Phillips 66 service station in Saratoga, Calif., where he was an attendant.
James said the silk scarves that the mod-dressed doctor sometimes were instead of ties were used to bind the victims' hands in front of her. A woman later in the water but were found in the pool.
He said Ohta was shot twice in the center of the back, the others in the back of the neck.
