Campaign Support Goal of Drive
Anti-war Group Seeks Funds
Money to support anti-war Congressional candidates in the current campaign is the goal of the Universities National Anti-War Fund (UNAF) drive now in progress at the University of Kansas.
The KU campaign, according to Harry G. Shaffer, professor of economics and a local UNAF supporter, is part of a nationwide effort to raise campaign funds for peace candidates.
Shaffer said that several generous contributions had already been received from KU faculty members. He said he expected the bulk of local contributions to be received within the next two weeks.
Mrs. Shaffer said that, although no Kansas Congressional candidates were presently receiving support from the national fund, KU supporters who wished to contribute to UNAF and also to support a local candidate could write their check to the particular candidate and the check would be forwarded. Warner A. Morse, assistant professor of philosophy and treasurer of the committee, will handle the funds collected.
To raise funds, UNAF is asking every college faculty member in the nation to contribute at least one day's salary to the fund. Coordinator of the local committee is Juliet Shaffer, associate professor of psychology.
Members of the KU committee are working in most departments and schools of the University to distribute information and encourage contributions.
The UNAF Statement of Policy describes the fund as "a nonpartisan effort to support peace candidates in the 1970 Congressional elections who will work to organize Congress so as to install peace-oriented chairmen in the leadership of key committees."
In order to receive the endorsement of the fund, a candidate must have "solid anti-war credentials and (be) committed to a prompt termination of the Indochina war," according to the policy statement. The fund will

be used only for those candidates who have a chance of winning their elections.
Mrs. Shaffer said more than half of those candidates supported by the fund in primary elections had won their contests. As of Aug. 31, more than $85,000 in UNAF money had been contributed to campaigns.
UNAF was begun in mid-May at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Among the early supporters were Nobel Prize scientists Konrad Bloch, Owen Chamberlain, Salvador Luria, Harold C. Urey, George Wald and James D. Watson.
The KU effort began in early August when information concerning the Fund and a request for contributions was sent to faculty members. Among the information sent was "A call to the University Community" prepared by UNAF's National Board. In its appeal for funds, the UNAF Board wrote:
Serving on the national UNAF board are several college presidents and the president of the United Negro College Fund.
"The UNAF recognizes that a large sum of money wisely disbursed represents a powerful political force. We call on every faculty and staff member of every

CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)—The Air Force launched a spy satellite in secrecy Monday night in an apparent attempt to replace an early warning spacecraft that was stranded in the wrong orbit two months ago.
UNAF is one of five member organizations of the National Coalition of the five major university-based organizations working toward peace in Indochina. The other four are Academic and Professional Alliance for a Responsible Congress, Continuing Presence in Washington, Movement for a New Congress and National Petition Committee.
Rocket Launched
Although the shot was a secret, the rocket was clearly visible on its launch pad during the final hour of the countdown and its climb into space could be seen for several minutes in the cloudless sky.
The new spacecraft was described by the Air Force as an "experimental payload."
