Capital: Ky Visit
WASHINGTON, D.C.—Despite administration efforts to block his visit, Vice President Nguyen Cao Ky of South Vietnam will attend a March for Victory rally here Oct. 3. Rally organizer Rev. Carl McIntire said Ky would be the lead-off speaker at the rally, which he predicted would attract about 500,000 persons. McIntire said he had asked the Federal Communications Commission to assure that the broadcasting networks gave as much coverage to the March for Victory as they did to last fall's March of Death, an antiwar rally held in Washington.
London: Nixon's Trip
President Nixon may postpone or cancel his European tour next week if the Middle East crisis becomes worse, Herbert G. Klein, White House director of communications, said. Klein told a news conference that the Nixon Administration did not rule out possible military intervention in Jordan to save American lives, including those of hijacking hostages held by Palestinian commandos.
VP Says 'Radical-Liberals' Joined 'Come-Lately Club'
Capital: Rail Strike
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (UPI)—Vice President Spiro T. Agnew Wednesday night accused Democratic Sens. Vance Hartke, Edward M. Kennedy and George McGovern of "joining the comelately club on crime and disorder."
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Labor Secretary James D. Hodgson said early Thursday that a threatened strike against the nation's railroads had been averted for at least two weeks. Hodgson appeared at a post-midnight news conference following 15 hours of talks between the United Transportation Union and the nation's rail lines on the 11-year-old dispute over whether firemen should be used on diesel engines. He said he was disappointed that no settlement was reached but appreciative of the fact that opportunity for negotiations existed without the threat of an immediate strike. The new strike deadline would be 12:01 a.m. Oct. 8.
But Agnew found words also to lambaste Kennedy of Massachusetts, McGovern of South Dakota, former Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey, Sens. Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, Philip A. Hart, D-Mich., and others whom he termed "radical-liberals."
Most of the vice president's prose was aimed at Indiana's Hartke, who is being challenged in his third-term bid by Rep. Richard L. Roudebush, R-Ind., in a state where President Nixon hopes to gain one GOP senator-
WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Nixon Administration rejected as improper, unworkable, and too costly a proposal for national health insurance that would cover nearly all the medical needs and bills of all Americans. The administrations's unexpectedly harsh opposition came in testimony before the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee. John G. Veneman, undersecretary of Health, Education and Welfare, said the bill would cost $77 billion in 1974, the year of its proposed enactment, and would be "equivalent to a federal health tax of more than $1,000 per year for every household in the United States."
Improved weather and visibility in the North Atlantic buoyed the hopes of air-sea searchers who sought three balloonists forced down into the sea two days ago. Missing were Malcolm Brighton, a British aeronautical engineer, Rodney Anderson, a New York commodities broker, and Anderson's actress wife, Pamela Brown. They were last heard from Monday night when they radioed that their helium-filled balloon was losing altitude in a storm and that they were preparing to land in the ocean.

Negotiations on a new national agreement to end the United Auto Workers' strike against General Motors are at an "absolute standstill," Irving Bluestone, co-director of the union's GM department, said. He said the company was focusing its attention on settlement of local issues at plants around the country before it turned to serious bargaining on the national contract. About 32,000 local union demands remained unresolved. The UAW also said it was widening its walkout against GM by calling on an additional 6,300 workers at the Delco Electronics Division plant at Kokomo, Ind., to leave their jobs tonight.

"For the past six years, your senior senator Hartke has done everything in his power to stop the bills that would help the peace forces against the criminal element," Agnew said. "But now, here it is election time, and he realizes he has been terribly out of step with the needs and desires of the people of Indiana. So, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes you can expect to see a refurbished image of your senior senator. The man who makes his television commercials will try to sell you 'Hartke, the cop.'

"He won't be alone in this little charade," Agnew said. "All across the country you can see senators facing election joining the come-lately club on crime and disorder. Senator Kennedy is
WASHINGTON, D.C.-The Senate passed and sent to President Nixon a major campaign reform bill that would force a sharp cut in political candidates' spending for broadcast commercials. A White House spokesman said Nixon had not committed himself on the bill, but even if he signed it, the major provisions of the bill would not apply to this year's campaign. The bill stipulates spending limitations on races for President-vice president, the Senate, the House, governor and lieutenant governor.
OKLAHOMA CITY—Twelve Oklahoma State University students won their fight to have a three-judge panel hear their lawsuit against the OSU speakers ban policy. U. S. District Judge Luther Bohannon granted the request for a federal panel but denied the students' application for a temporary injunction against enforcement of the speakers ban. The students filed the lawsuit after OSU officials prohibited yippie leader Abbie Hoffman from speaking on campus last spring. The students contend the policy restricting speakers is a violation of the 1st and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
reversing his field, and instead of calling for commissions to study the chances of amnesty for draft-dodgers, he is ringingly denouncing what he calls 'campus commandees.' Senator McGovern, just the other day, stopped cooing like a dove and started roaring like a lion.

"Where were the voices of Muskie and McGovern, of Stevenson and Humphrey, of Hart and Hartke." Agnew asked, "when the radical leaders were making their threats of violence only a year or two ago? Their voices were hushed; now, hardly a day goes by that one or the other of these men is not out on the stump denouncing violence and condemning the bomb-throwers and the book-burners."
Agnew said he thought the men he named were "geniunely appalled" by violence.
Oklahoma: OSU Speakers Ban
Varied Work For KU Attorney
by JOHN E. RITTER Kansan Staff Writer
Two misconceptions have arisen about the proposed functions of the University of Kansas attorney, soon to be hired, Chancellor E. Laurence Chalmers Jr. said Tuesday.
"Many people have characterized the job of the attorney in only one direction," Chalmers said.
He will not be a mere campus representative of the attorney general's office," he said, "and the functions of the job will include more than just enforcement of the rules and regulations of the University.
"It is inappropriate to view the attorney in these two perspectives. The variety of areas of concern will be tremendous," he noted.
Chalmers said that in the past the faculty of the law school had been assigned as legal advisers to various committees and had taken most of the responsibility for legal references.
"The work of the attorney will not be new to the University," he said. "It is just that in the past we have accomplished legal matters by overloading the law school faculty."
Besides acting as a legal reference, the attorney would also handle interpretation of contracts, especially for grants in the various departments, Chalmers said.
"The attorney will act as a coordinator of legal affairs for the University—sort of like a corporation lawyer," he said.
The Chancellor emphasized that the attorney would not act as a prosecutor against violators of rules and regulations.
"The judiciary is set up for that function. The job of the attorney will be much more comprehensive.
