United Fund Drive Far Short of Goal
The United Fund campaign in Lawrence officially ended last week. A$43,110 collected, less than 30 per cent of the intended goal of $150,055.

Lawton, drive chairman and
vice-chairman of planning and

Lawton and Anderson expressed special thanks Monday to Lawrence Sanitation Department employees. All 32 department employees pledged their promises to the campaign. Their pledge totaled $770. Lawton said
This year's goal of over $150,000 was about $10,000 more than the goal for last year's drive in Lawrence. The increase reflected the addition of two recipient centers and Center and Legal Aid Society. The number of agencies supported by the Lawrence drive is 15.
Anderson was most concerned about the drive in the industry category where the rate of construction has been the lowest.
Both Anderson and Lawton,
however, were optimistic

China's Flag Flying But Seat Unoccupied
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) - Red China's flag was displayed on the United Nations' desk Monday, but China's seat in the meeting halles remained vacant, a week after the General Assembly to seat the Peking government.
Menninger Disgusted by Jails
Speculation presisted, but would arrive Thursday or Friday and that it would be headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Chao Qi.

The report made no evaluation of the Kansas system. Menninger said Kansas has done well in meeting its standards for corrections program but urged
"Everybody says the jails have to go, they must go, but they don't alarm an arm of the board of trustees." It said, "he's汀enhaitened to treat people like that. Jails are terrible, the re're unbelievable."

Lyons Site Definitely Off AEC List, Says Skubitz
However, Skubiz reiterated that problems encountered by the ship had been addressed. Carey Salt Co. mine at Lyons were so large that salts at Lyons were shipped in bulk.
TOPEKA (AP) — U.S. Rep. Skubitz of Kansas' 5th District, who a few weeks ago forecast the Atomic Energy Commission would abandon the Lyons site for its proposed nuclear waste storage, told the ACE the ACC couldn't be expected to confirm his prediction publicly.
In addition to Skubitz's statement made public Monday, the Kansas Geological Society has suggested that "the integrity of the proposed Lyons site is highly questionable" and suggested the use of a more modern mplementation of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists that the western half of the country contains unexplored as possible better site.
"OUR SOCIETY believes there are other probable areas in Kansas where near-surface water is available to meet the necessary criteria for the safe storage of high-level atomic waste," said Robert W. Fremland, president of the University of Kansas at Docking made public Monday. Skubitz's statement was in reply to a request by Topeka Republican congressman answer Frank Pittman, director of Atomic Waste Disposal for the AEC who said in an interview that "we know that AEC still wants to use the Lyons site if at all possible and most

certainly wants to remain in Kansas with its search for repository sites.
"MOREOVER, NO government agency will ever admit him that it made a mistake of his magnitude if it can avoid so long.
"The preferred method by a government agency is quietly to stop the work and abandon the site, saying nothing until it is clear that pressure and broadcasting badge out a confession," he said. "So anyone in Kansas looking for or expecting a flat announcement of abandment from the com-munity should speak to the breath until it is forthcoming."
Menninger, who advocates an extensive system of probation, said jails introduce persons in them to "another society in which they are beyond rehabilitation after the experience.
"The commission will be the first to agree that unless this can be safely controlled—and, mind you, controlled over hundreds of thousands of years—mankind and animal and plant life are a common area from Kansas to the Gulf of Mexico will be jeopardized."
Skubitz said the AEC never admit abandoning the Lyons site in so many words.
Of the Lyons site, Skubtz said: "the fact remains that the problem of large water seepage through a rocky cave of adjacent areas to form surface lakes is one that the commission has not yet solved
maintained in some places."
"THE KEY TO the whole business," Menninger said, "is to put people on probation under the right supervision rather than throw them in prison. Keep the money they earn; keep them earning a living."
Meninger said Kansas "is way ahead of many states in the race to move toward probation," but said Kansas courts tend to hand out more severe penalties than those who do sentence people to prison
Skubitz said he believed the AEC when it said it will continue to search for alternate sites in Kansas.
This word came in a cable to Secretary-General U Thant from Red China's Acting Foreign Minister Cmi Peng-fei.
He praised the Kansas Reception and Diagnostic Center in Topela as a model for other states to copy, but chided the students early in building the correctional vocational training center.
The message, received Sunday,

The Mental Health Association listed as its prime goal in the 1972 legislative session the immediate appropriation of funds to build rehabilitative facilities for juvenile boys. This project was delayed in the 1971 session, although the legislature did put forward a temporary quarters in unused areas of three other state institutions.
Menninger declined, when unauthorized Dockers not putting more money into the budget last year for the center and for juvenile detention.
The association listed as its second priority the funding of the correctional vocational training center, and as its third goal the appropriation of state funds to community mental health centers as a fourth goal was the full funding of the welfare budget.
No U.N. officials or U.N. diplo mats were present.
Chi's message cleared up another problem which had threatened to create difficulties in the event of a sudden crisis.
He said if anyone were to blame it was himself for not doing a "better job of advising the governor."

Controversy Surrounds Kansas Abortion Law
LITTLE OPPOSITION was voiced in debate on the Senate floor at a hearing to a conference with the House. The conferences will seek to resolve the issue.

The natives – 55,000 Eskimos.
Alouts and Indians – would be given water from the river on whether to accept either of million acres near their villages, plus mineral rights, or title to 30 million acres. If they used an additional 20 million acres.
When the 1970 Kansas Legislature included a small section on legal abortion in a law passed by a criminal code, the controversy concerning that passage overwhelmed the entire code. The code, which included many other laws, was so broad that we can be known as the "bortion bill."
"Abortions didn't even come up in (legislative) committees last year, second-year Wichita law students legislator representing the 80th district, said recently. "But I know it's a abortion than any other subject."
Although the code has been in effect now for 15 months the fury over abortions in K anasas has not died.
Most of the mail was against abortion and came from the Committee and various Catholic Leaders. Some of the letters compared Hess to Hitler for his stand on the issue, included pictures of unborn babies.
The abortion statute requires the signatures of three physicians and a unmarried woman under 21. Married 18 year old women do not need consent. The abortion must be formed in an accredited hospital.
Hess said that in his entire legislative career he had never received such an emotional appeal on any issue.
THERAPEUTIC ABORTIONS are permitted if the physical or mental health of the mother is endangered or if there will be an unintended child. An abortion can also be obtained when the pregnancy is the result of rape, incest or other felonius intercourse. Abortion is allowed in emergency cases to save the life of the mother.
Alt augh he approves of the liberalized abortion law as it now stands. Hess said he had doubts about further liberalization.
Hess favors the present code because he says it keeps people from going to "quacks" for illegal abortions.
The abortion code is only a part of a 'good' model criminal编码, and would be extremely difficult to obtain because of the emotional burden.
The Kansas Medical Society (KMS) has introduced a resolution to allow women for obtaining an abortion without written parental consent from 21 to 18. Hess said he thought such a resolution would be directly connected to abortions but would involve the whole age of responsibility with will.
Senate Passes Bill For Alaskan Claims
WASHINGTON (AP) —The Senate passed a bill Monday to pay $1 billion to Alaska natives and citizens in claims to most of the vast land mass which the United States bought for $2.2 million a century
Sponsors of the bill, which sailed through the Senate 76 to 5, had an agreement with company land grant would be a just settlement of claims that have been recognized since the enactment of the purchase from Russia in 1867.
The bill calls for $500 million in federal funds, $500 million in mineral production royalties and interest on lands and choice of land grant.
The House bill would provide $243 million from the federal tax base to help protect royalties which otherwise would go to the state and 40 million
and House versions
The Senate rejected by voice vote an amendment to retain for the federal government all mineral rights in the Navy Petroleum Reserve. The bill called for giving the few native lands under their ownership of lands they occupy, including subsurface minerals
The issues might come up within two years. The state has successfully after 18-years have voted in an election, and the state hasn't fallen into a rut.
The Senate bill would form native corporations and commissions to handle mineral royalty funds and appropriations
Natives would receive per capita payments and stock in the corporations, which would use health care services in such projects as hospital health faculty and school con- trols and education loans and grants.
HESS APPROVES of the requirement that three physicians sign abortion papers, and that a doctor section because only one doctor actually sees the mother. He said that doctors were not sacrosanct and that even the doctor "provides checks and balances."
The choice of three physicians is an arbitrary one, he said, and reducing the number to one does not make it any less arbitrary.
Hess said hospital accreditation was a touchy subject. He said he and his co-workers are accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Hospitals, a requirement for hospitals that have accredited hospitals, such as Catholic-operated St. Francis and have refused abortion cases.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP)—Mamie Ehlower then restored and underwent her annual checkup Monday, officials said.
But more than two-thirds of the abortions performed involve out-of-state residents. Pointing to the vast number of surrounding states, our law is family workable, so residents should not have too much
The harshest criticism of the abortion law has concerned the vagueness about mental and physical health dangers both to the mother and the unborn child given as reason for abortion.
THAT PARTICULAR clause survived many changes from its conception in the criminal code and adapted as law in 1970, according to P. Wilson, professor of law. Wilson was a member of an advisory committee to the Kansas Judicial Branch, before drafting the code in 1963.
The advisory committee decided to include the section on abortion because it considered the former law unrealistic. Wilson criticized its inclusion in fear that the issue would drag down the entire criminal code. However, abortion proponents, fearing the issue could not pass by itself, perceive the group to insert the passage.
Eventually, after heated and prolonged legislative debate on the abortion section, the code passed
The bill that the advisory committee recommended to the council (and which it recom-mended) had almost the same as the final law. However, the section completed a circle before finding its final
Before the committee had finished its draft, the committee could be written in such a way that at any time an abortion physician, an abortion could be performed. Wilson said. The committee rejected the draft.
accept its version of the passage But the House refused.
AT THAT TIME, Wilson said, the committee was modeling its proposal after laws that had been passed. The committee presented, such as those of Colorado and New Mexico. The New York law, considered by both parties, liberal, had not been proposed in the Kansas code was drafted.
The KMS did not give up easily. It convinced the Kansas Senate to
