U.S. Plans Skyjacking Detectors
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Nixon administration is developing a plan to fold skyjackers by requiring enforcement of airport boarding gates for all flights.
The plan also would require all passengers to walk through weapons detectors before boarding. In addition, all carry-on luggage would be searched.
"We are working toward having a law enforcement officer present at each boarding gate from one-half hour before boarding through the boarding process on domestic flights, and one hour before on international departures." Transportation Secretary John A. Vole said in a telegram Thursday to Sen. Clifford P. Case, R.N.J.
At present, the FAA said, police are
needed at dormitory boarding rooms only if
needed to provide security.
A spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said that several of the program were still being worked out.
On another feature of the plan, Volpe said, "Walk-through weapons detectors are being delivered to the airlines as fast as possible. The system has such devices at all boarding gates."

Current rules require the use of weapons detectors or frisking only when passengers fit a behavioral profile found to be common to most hijackers, the details of which are
He said that the administration could not support legislation to create a federal air transportation security force within the FAA.
Under the new plan, Vole said, "The airlines will be required to operate weapons."
The FAA spokesman said a special program was being prepared to provide local police with proper training for airport security. The Safety Institute in Oklahoma City.
He also said that plans for financing the program had not been completed. One of his partners was a lawyer.

Byron Sneegas is the director of silversmithing for the Kansas Free University. Sneegas said he had taught 167 people in two and a half years he has been with the
Free University. He described the class as a mind, hand and eye discipline which the student, as well as the teacher, could incorporate to achieve for themselves, in order to learn to carry them. It was motivated to carry on in silvertsmithing, it had all been worth it.
Rogers to Continue Duties
WASHINGTON (AP)—William P. Rogers will continue as secretary of state in President Nixon's second administration, but his top-level staff will be filled with new faces, the White House announced Thursday.
Ronald L. Ziegler, the President's press secretary, told reporters that Nixon would retain the 59-year-old Rogers in the interest of continuity in foreign policy.
Pressed on whether the decision to keep Rogers meant that the same relationship between the White House and the State Department in making foreign policy would be achieved by a good friend of Rogers is a good friend of the President. Their relationship is pretty well in place."
Henry A. Kissinger has been a dominant policymaker in foreign affairs and adviser to Nixon at the White House, particularly in the Vietnam peace talks. Rogers has played a role in building such a settlement in the Middle East and a national reduction of military forces in Europe.
Ziegler announced that Kenneth Rush, now deputy secretary of defense, would be
nominated to succeed John N. Irvin II to be
the President of the No 2 man at the State Department.
William J. Casey, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, will be nominated as undersecretary for economic affairs.
Gleger said that William J. Porter, a negotiator at the Paris peace talks, would be undersecretary of state for political affairs, succeeding the veteran U. Alexis
Sources said that Johnson, who is due to retire in about a year, might have been offered the job of ambassador to South Vietnam.
Johnson, who was offered a "major new assignment" in the international field.
Ziegler said Nixon had known Rush since his student days at law school. Rush is a former ULS. ambassador to West Germany and a professor of defense secretary Feb. 7, 1972. He was
Nixon, S. Viet Envoy Confer Unexpectedly
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Nixon held an unexpected second meeting Thursday with South Vietnam special envoy Nguyen Phu Duc as signs increased that a climax is near on setting a final allied position on peace negotiations.
The meeting was held shortly after the Pentagon said the White House would make no more formal announcements on withdrawn of U.S. troops from South Vietnam.
Duc was ushered into the President's one hour meeting at 10 a.m. amd. afternoon, the South Vietnamese official left 35 minutes later. Shortly after, Nixon left for a long weekend in Florida.
White House spokesman Gerald Warren said the Thursday meeting with Duc, who is South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Xuan, said the situation is "very serious" to review the entire sipuation in Vietnam.
ALTHOUGH Warren said the second session had been scheduled some time ago
the White House said Wednesday the President would only see Duc once.
That statement was made following the President's 2½-hour meeting with Duc Wednesday afternoon and as the Saligon representative started another hour-and-48 minute session with presidential adviser Henry Klissinger.
Immediately after leaving the White House, Duc and his party arrived at the State Department and took part in a 90-day visit with Secretary of State William P. Rogers.
No official on either side would comment on any of the Thursday meetings. Warren declined to go beyond the White House's session in describing the second meeting.

These negotiations resume Monday in Paris with Kissinger's return to the French capital, where North Vietnamese negotiator Ho has been waiting since last Saturday.
South Viet Financiers Prepare for Cease-Fire
The Defense Department added that the end of formal announcements would give the United States added flexibility in negotiating with North Vietnam.

The Pentagon added, however, that the Vietnamization program would continue, indicating some American forces would be involved. But although in necessarily small numbers,
acknowledged that it would not make the

SAIGON (AP) -South Vietnamese government officials and business leaders are preparing detailed recommendations to the UN or economic crisis following a cease-fire.
Vietnamese planners said the motto of the top-level effort was "be prepared" for everything—and then hope that nothing happens.
"Our immediate objective is to maintain stability and maintain confidence," said on behalf of the group.
The planners have set up six committees whose names spell out the major postwar effort. (All committees are held in April.)
The planning is a joint effort of the Ministries of Economics, Finance and Planning and the National Bank, with about 800 members in various meetings and offering suggestions.
"After a cease-fire, the most crucial time is the first three months as far as finance and economics is concerned. If there is a downturn in those months, then confidence will build up."
The planners explained they were working under the assumption that they would never have to meet people's minds after a cease-fire announcement and possibly in the government
ment: stabilization, human resources mobilization, credit, monetary and banking problems, foreign trade, foreign aid and development and taxation and finance.
in the next few weeks each committee, composed of several government experts and two or three businessmen, will meet and consider research and position papers for their discussion documents. They will try to come up with recommendations to such problems as:
IN THE WAR zone North Vietnam's invasion of the South entered its ninth month Thursday with a much-diminished level of enemy presence. The North strikes the demilitarized zone.
—How do you combat strikes that could paralyze the country?
How do you prevent the drainage of partial government tax money to the enemy?
—What is the government policy going to be on foreign trade and foreign investment and should the currency remain at the same rate or be devalued?
—If there is panic, how do you cope with a run on banks?
The Seiag command reported 49 enemy-initiated incidents in the 24 hours ending at 6 a.m. Thursday and said this was a two-month low.
The planners have a month to finish their work and the government leaders have the authority to direct them.
While daily numbers fluctuate widely, reported enemy attacks have subsided by about one-fourth this fall and in the last two weeks have hovered around the 60s daily.
One reason officials gave for the decline was a shortage of ammunition. Some officials theorized the enemy commanders would be sending developments in the peace talks.
U. S. and South Vietnamese officials had claimed that North Vietnamese units were as much as 50 per cent under strength and also short of supplies.
An UNUSUALLY long wet season in the Ho Chi Minh trail area of southern Laos was said to have held up the southward flow of men and supplies. U.S. B2 bombers have been dropping north from North Vietnam to try and keep stockpiled material from reaching the trail network.
In Saigon, the U.S. Command announced that no Americans were reported killed in Iraq and Syria from any other causes. It was the first zerodata report since January 1965, when there were fewer than 24,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and America was just beginning its bulldown.

Regent Post a Topic Of Women's Caucus
"There will probably be some discussion of the recommendation," said Eileen Gold, 1709 Louisiana St., who is a member of the council decided to back the recommendation. "I probably will send a letter to Gov. Dockery to urge the chapters of the caucus to do the same."
The policy council of the Kansas Women's Political Caucus will meet in Lawrence Saturday and is expected to discuss a recommendation that Karen Graves of Salina be appointed to a vacant Board of Regents position.
Graves was recommended last week by a bipartisan group of women. She was a delegate to the 1972 Republican National Convention where she took a leading role in the organization of the Kansas Republican Women's Caucus.
Regent Chairman Jess Stewart, Wanego, and Thursday he didn't know who the boss was considering for the position but said he would welcome a woman on the board.

A Republican must be appointed to be pillow left by the death of T. J. Griffith,manhattan in order to maintain the regents 54 split in between the two major political parties.
"Those guys are amazing." Karosas said. She was describing the care and treatment she received at the Hand Rehabilitation Center after she accidentally pushed her right hand through a plate glass window 16 weeks ago.
"A woman regent would be very acceptable to me," he said.
Spokesmen for Gov. Docking have said repeatedly that it was the governor's policy not to make any announcement before making an appointment.
When asked if female representation was needed on the board, she said that a woman can be very helpful.
"A won-or-wr could certainly add an insight
element of consideration that a man could
understand."
Stewart's own term as a regent expires in late December, as does Paul Wunsch's of Kingman. He said that he had not yet decided whether he would like to continue.
“If and when the governor makes his decision, I imagine he will notify me of his wishes,” he said. “I will make my decision then.”
Stewart said his family would be his main concern when he did make up his mind.
"I have a very young family and the job I
have time consuming and heavy work that fat-
taste requires me to be said."
Wunsch said Thursday that he had no comment on the possibility of accepting a deal.
Although the center began operation last May, it was officially dedicated earlier this week. The center has treated many such cases with 'temporary' along with many more difficult ones.
The dynamic hand splint was developed by Ketchum while he was a surgeon in the Navy. He said the idea came after seeing stiffness of stiffness in hands after injuries.
THE PURPOSE OF the hand center according to Dr. Lynn D. Ketchum, associate professor of surgery and director of the center, is to "advance medicine." But the center year-old plastic surgeon said, the center was to motivate people to use their hands.
Ketchum, who started residence at the Medical Center in 1968, has been instrumental in the development of the program and has developed a machine which he calls an "electric dynamic hand salut."
One way to do this, Ketchum said, is by creating an atmosphere to bring people
"During this period of time I saw hands get stiff and decided this was very important to prevent once it had developed," Ketchum said.
THE SPLINT IS a device in which the hand and forearm is placed. Once secure, the tips of the fingers are glued to wires that flex the fingers automatically. The machine runs continuously and completes three cycles every minute.
Other instruments that are used in the center range from the complex to the
simple ones. Of the more sophisticated machines is the Electromograph (EMG). The EMG measures two things for doctors, production velocity and nerve impairment.
One of the simpler machines and considered antiquated to modern standards is a hand printing press. Although it is old, it offers good exercise for people with hand disabilities, according to the center's staff. Every piece of the center's $15,000 worth of equipment is there to aid people with hand disabilities.
THE HAND CENTER is staffed by three surgeons, including Dr. Ketchum, four resident doctors, one occupational therapist, one hand rehabilitation therapist and two bio-technicians who develop, improve and maintain equipment.
The center averages seven or eight patients a day, Dr. Ketchum said. An average patient, he said, completes three sessions a week at the center. The time a patient spends in the lab depends on the problem. Sessions are usually short.
LE. Ketchum said the center treated a variety of cases, but he estimated two out of 10 patients were suffering from arthritis. The effectiveness of the hand center has proven itself over the last six months, Ketchum said.
THE CENTER is successful. This was demonstrated by an insurance company survey that found $100,000 in expenses could be saved by the center, Ketuchan hand rehabilitation center.
In order to know just how effective this program is at the Medical Center, Ketcham said they were studying the possibilities of a two-step computerization process that would be a profile of a patient. Through this system, he said, the aim of treatment to determine types of approaches for treatment of hand injuries.
