Black to Get Simple Rites In Arlington
WASHINGTON (AP) — Fromer Justice Hugo L. Black, a champion of individual freedom during his 34 trend-shaping years as the founder, will be buried with simple honger Tuesday.
Black died Saturday in Bethesda Naval Hospital, a week after his retirement from the high court. A spokesman said the 85-year-old had been diagnosed with a stroke and inflammation of the arteries.
After services at the Episcopal Washington Cathedral Tuesday, Black is scheduled to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery at 3 p.m.
Justices of the Supreme Court—active, retired and resigned—will serve as honorary pallbearers, along with close friends.
A Clay County, Ala., shopkeeper's son, he had been a country lawyer, a member of the KU Klux Klan, a county prosecutor, a police officer and a shaper of American law.
His belief in constitutional absolutes led him to landmark opinions and to his most controversial decision—the one banning mentorship-sponsored prayer in the schools.
Black intended only to ban prayer written and imposed by government, saying, "It is no part of the business of government to compose official prayers for any group of the American people to recite."
Walkway Has New Look
But this apparently did little to dampen the outcry that followed.
Most recently he made clear his position when he concurred with the majority to pass the bill.
The man Nixon called "this noble American" was born Feb. 27, 1886, the youngest of a family of eight. He earned a law degree and began to impress with influence.
President Nixon found that Black brought to the court "a mind that was brilliant and a character that was earnest and strong."
After World War I service, he returned to prosper in private practice in Birmingham, where he raised money and quit it in 1925 to make his successful campaign for the Senate where he supported much of the New Deal. He was appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Cost Main Issue in Bond Election
Kansan Staff Writer
By TUULA TOSSAVAINEN
Debert Mathia, Douglas County clerk,
said a week ago that the bond election for
the new city-county government center
would be close. And he was probably right.
Much has been written about the center in the papers and many informative discussions have been held. An organized group has even been formed to support passage of the bill. But, as in any election, it is the taxpayers who decide what will be passed. In recent years, only 2 out of 15 Lawrence taxpayers said they would vote yes.
The main opposition to building the center was the $6,540,000 it would cost. The mayor said the city didn't want the center.
not going to pay for it," will probably be the reason they did. The raiders as well as the turks.
It will take about twenty years for Lawrence and Douglas County residents to retire the bonds. In the first year, the taxpayers will contribute approximately one one-thousand of their personal property valuation for the center.
On Way to Meeting with Emperor
On the other hand, another resident agreed that the center was needed but he did not have the money. Taxes are high enough and the economic squeeze is tough now without more taxes, he said. I've been thinking about moving to New York because I was a retire because of the taxes, he added.
Taxes will decrease each year after the first year. In 1983, the people of Lawrence and Douglas County will finally own the building.
These were the two patterns of the interviews. The main objections to the plan were the costs, the size of the building and the timing of the plan.
One resident of Lawrence said the bond issue would certainly pass because the building was needed so badly. It would have been better if it had cost because the costs will multiply, he said.
There were 15,749 voters registered in Lawrence by Friday night, 736 of them under the age of 21. Matia said the number of voters was very regular.
Polling places will be open from 7 a.m. to
7 p.m. Tuesday.
Nixon Pledges Production Of Clean Nuclear Energy
RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — President Nixon, heading Sunday for a meeting with the Emperor of the first nation hit by an atomic bomb, promised expanded development of peaceful nuclear energy "that is clean and does not pollute."
Nixon stopped here for a briefing at the Hanford Atomic Works. He said the new, fast-flux test facility now under Hanford is a major advance in this program.
"This technology," he said in a statement, "will develop into the liquid-metal fast-breaker reactor, a process that uses the high-energy energy that is clean and inexcessive."

Nixon left Walla Walla, Wash., aboard Air Force One at 6:15 p.m. en route to New York.
NIXON HAD promised a significant statement at the Hanford facility, but he stopped short of saying the center would be the site of one of two project reactors. He said sites for the reactor prototypes would be announced later.

3 Fail to Post Bond After Arrests in Raid
By LARRY CHRIST Kansan Staff Writer
Three men remained in custody Sunday evening after 19 persons were arrested on drug charges. Friday morning in charge. All three had failed to post bond.
Authorities at the Douglas County Jail identified them as: Patrick Eugene Hushour, 19, of 140 Tennessee, held on $2,000 bond; Edward Cox Cyr, 24, of 140 Tennessee, held on $3,000 bond; and Mike Hushour, 23, of 107 Maine, bond on $10,000 bond.
The 19 persons arrested included 12 KU students. Officers booked 17 persons early Friday morning on charges ranging from possession of marijuana to several counts of drug trafficking. At the morning, two other had been arrested. They were identified as: Douglas James Taub, 20, of 1614 Kentucky, two counts of sale of marijuana; and William Thomas Fuller, 21, of 841 Maine, one count of sale of aguafamines.
DOUGLAS COUNTY Sheriff Rex Johnson indicated that more arrests were made.
"We have several more warrants issued," he said.
Johnson said most of those arrested were released on bond within hours after they were booked. Bond, he said, was set at $1,500 for persons arrested on one count, and $2,000 to $3,000 for persons listed with several counts.
Dodero, who was arrested two months ago was charged Friday with several counts of selling marijuana and one count of theft. The man and was set at $10,000, jail records indicated.
felony charges and trials for persons have received for Oct. 13, 2014, a 14-unit court.
Authorities still are uncertain about the amount and variety of the drugs they confiscated during the raid, said Fred Howard, director of the KBI.
ALL 19 PERSONS were arraigned Friday and court dates were scheduled, the county attorney's office said. Preliminary hearings for persons facing
HOWARD INDICATED that the results of tests made on the drugs would not be harmful.
"The labs have been so buoy we just haven't had time to examinate them," he said.
Atty. Gen. Vern Miller had said earlier that he believed his officers had gathered large amounts of .ocaine, LSD, marijuana, and some hard drugs. No one was charged with possession or sale of cocaine.
would underline the fact that two great people are going to be competitors in the world, but is also would underline "it is indispensable that we be friends."
Japan has been critical of the President's program, programs, and the important issues.
Nixon also has accepted an invitation to a reception in the Anchorage home of the late James S. McCarthy, Secretary of the Interior W. J. Hickel, Hickel lost his job last Thanksgiving Eve and has just come out with a book that he happened to him during his time in the Cabinet.
THE ARRIVAL TIME for Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako was on the schedule for 3 a.m. EDT Monday, with full military honors and sneezes.
The emperor and empress are enroute from Tokyo to Europe for a visit to seven other nations. Alaska is a refueling stop going and coming.
In Tokyo, more than 1,200 leftist Japanese students rallied and marched in heavy rain Sunday, protesting Hirohito's departure.
The students, members of the radical leftist Zengkakuren organization have linked the emperor's tour with what they call a revival of Japanese militarism.
Hiroito traveled through Europe in 1921 when he was crown prince and has said his experiences then provided him with the happiest moments of his life.
Police increased from 20 to 100 the number of guards at the palace following an incident Saturday in which four protestors forced their way onto palace balconies and shot and killed a bomb. A guard was injured slightly in a scuffle. The four youths were arrested.
Hiritoh has said he was hopeful his trip would help promote friendship between Japan and the nations he will visit. Leftfist students claim the trip is aimed at changing the image to what it was before World War II. He to help revive militarism in Japan.
Alleged Drug Sales Bring Miller Threat to Gas Light
Kansas Atty. Gen. Vern Miller has threatened to the Gas Lift tavern in Burlington, where he lives.
The Gas Light is a cereal malt beverage dealer on the east edge of campus next to
Miller said he thought drugs were being sold there and he was "contemplating the fact that his life was in danger."
The establishment operates under a cereal malt beverage license issued by the city of Lawrence. Lawrence Mayor J. R. Pulliam said the license could be taken away if it could be proven that there was a law restricting the license removal listed in city ordinance 4206 are obtaining the license fraudently, nonpayment of license fees, consumption
of mixed drinks or use or sale of liquor, and sale of beer to persons under 18.
Palliam said the sale of drugs was not a reason to take away a license. He said Miller could take action other than having the license taken away. He said Miller might try to have the Gas Light declared a public nuisance.
Miller refused to talk to the Kansan about his threat, Reginald Scarbough, owner, and Harold Stagg, manager of the Gas Oil that were both unavailable for payment.
Miller told the Associated Press he would watch the newly opened New Haven Cafe. It is in the old Rock Chalk Cafe where she was allegedly closed by Miller's threats.
Student Vote Leads to Confusion, Varied Reactions
By DICKNAY
and
Kansan Staff Writers
Student vote plus Lawrence equals another Berkeley. Right? Wrong. All indications are that there is no connection between what happened in Berkeley last spring when radicals and students took over the department and what could happen in Lawrence.
The supposed threat of University of Kansas students ennagging masse and encouraging concern in the minds of only a few. Instead, disappointment with the small number of persons under 21 who have received an upcoming bond election seems to prevail.
"I hope the student vote will increase our voting record. I can't see the student body voting just so they can saddle me with the hell more of them vote than I think will."
State Sen. Arden Booth, R-Lawrence, recently put it this way: "Some are scared of the student vote. I only hope they'll get scared enough to get out and vote."
THE CITY CLERK'S office has reported that the number of cent of the Lawrence residents registered for election Tuesday are under 21. The election will decide the fate of a proposed city ordinance.
proposed bond should fail to pass and another vote should be called.
Bruce Molholt, assistant professor of microbiology and chairman of the Lawrence Vee Registration Committee, said the committee's "disappointing" but hopes continued effort on the part of his committee will get more students' names on registration lists. However, he expects the legislature to move forward to register students during the 1972 session.
Present law states that a person's residence shall be where "he has the intention of returning," also says a person who intends to declare a county" into which he will have come for temporary purposes" without intending to make it his home but with the intention of leaving same when he shall leave; the business that brought him up.

Dan Young, former Douglas County attorney now in private practice and acting as a legal adviser to the county, believes that the law, by implication, grants the retaliation official the right to sue you for assault. "If you own a car, it is licensed in this county?" or "Have you changed the owner on your driver's license to this
AND THEREIN lies the present confusion over students' voting rights in Kansas. What exactly does "intention of punishment" or "for temporary purposes" mean?
countv?"
Young said that the answers to those two questions would give the county some indication as to whether a person should vote to vote is truly a permanent resident.
Mrs. Mercer said she had not been told she could ask such questions. Mathis said he could ask them but that he had been asking a registrant only whether he had 30 days to complete his 30 days and whether he intended to make Douglas County his permanent home.
"If they're residents, they're residents for all purposes," he said.
But both county Clerk Delmar Mathia and his deputy for voting registration, City Clerk Vera Merca, said they had not asked such questions.
"I personally wouldn't be surprised to see some changes," Mathia said. "I look for them (the state legislature) to clarify the laws more. The law is really a matter of intent."
THIS SUMMER, Young asked the state attorney general's office for an opinion on exactly how to determine where a college student could vote. However, John R. fortin, chief assistant attorney general, will be made until after the legislature meets.
So the issue of student voting awaits a verdict from the legislature. or does it? I difference of opinion among the three areas of opinion, and what will be done reflects and what will be done reflects that of the
legislature as a whole, the future status of student voting is anybody's guess.
State Rep. John Vogel, R-Lawrence,
believes student voting will be only one
factor in the larger issue of state
aportionment.
The legislature is scheduled to the month preceding sesquicammal season and will use the 172 state令 as a basis for legislation.
Vogel said that many legislators, especially those from sparsely populated areas, would like to be counted to make sure their areas receive a larger share of state rebates for such issues.
Booth also believes that the issue of
students become intervied with
women's organisations.
"STUDENTS OUIGHT to vote where they're registered and counted for the census." Booth said. "We don't want them here and then he be counted elsewhere."
But Rep. Morris Kay, R-Lawrence and majority floor leader in the house, does not want to be involved.
"I don't see what we're going to take
Kay said. The census and voting are
complicated."

The state census is compiled from figures each county submits to Topeka. An official at the Douglas County assessor's office said counters were sent out from there and went from house to house and also to apartment complexes.
