WASHINGTON—Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz, predicting that the Soviet Union will continue as a major grain buyer at least through 1975, said U.S. farm exports would total $10 billion by next summer. That would be nearly 15
per cent more than the previous high of $8.1 billion for the year end last June 30, Butz said. It would exceed by far anticipated imports of foreign farm products and thus add $3.5 billion toward the U.S. trade balance.

Racism Minor Issue Black Politician Says
By MYLA STARR
Kansan Staff Writer
Racism, in his opinion, is no longer a major problem.
Clay Smothers is a black Democrat that says his color and his registered party do not define his opinions. Speaking to a crowd of 65 persons here Thursday night, Smothers said that he supported Sen. Bill Nelson's fallacies of the Democratic Convention last August because he was concerned about the "major issues" in the election.
"Racism is fast becoming a minor issue." Too many people are avoiding the real issues.
Smothers has traveled "thousands of miles" in the past month speaking throughout the country. He has been campaigning in Kansas for the American party's M.I. senatorial candidate, Gene Miller of Lawrence.
"I am a registered Democrat," he said,
"but I am an independent my nominee."
Smothers said he was helping the American party because he does not think the press has given the party equal coverage.
Somothers, who was nominated for the vice presidency by both the American and Democratic parties last summer, said he withdrew from the Democratic contest because "there was a great man (Sen. Thomas Eagleton), running for the vice president of Texas, the highest number of votes from his home Texas delegation, and if nominated would have been the first black man ever drafted by a major American party.
In discussing current issues, Smothers said that the quality of education was crucial to the future of American children. Dr. Vassiliev and his collaborators who support busing "hypocrites."
"Adults are shoving integration down our children's throats," he said.

Smoothers said that he thinks black people should be free to develop their own institutions without interference from whites and the federal government.
“There is nothing whites can do to get blacks out of poverty,” he said. “We should work within the churches, businesses and schools.” He said that we should seek the help of the federal government.”
Guaranteed jobs, not guaranteed income,
is the answer to the welfare problem, acco-
ncluded in the job market.
"Money is not the solution unless it's carried; we have." He said to teach blacks how to buy a house.
Smoothers said that his work in the cotton fields as a child inspired him to pull himself on.
"The answer to poverty is to use poverty as a stepping stone and not a crush," he said.
Smothers said he has been maligned by some persons in the black community for his opinions, but said he did not feel needed to support a man because he was black.
"I do not believe that all blacks are proud and beautiful," he said. "I see beauty in honest, decent, law-abiding citizens, regardless of their color."
Candidate Asks 3 Counties To Keep Polls Open Late
TOPEKA (AP)--Mike Manning,
Democratic candidate for secretary of
state, threatened Thursday to seek a federal
district court injunction if election officers
in Johnson, Shawnee and Sedgwick counties
should have their polls open until 8 p.m.
next Tuesday.
Manning told newsmen that it was not possible for all voters registered in those counties to cast their ballots within the 12-hour period that the polls would be open, so voters who voted was rigidly held to the three-minute time limit allowed in the voting booth.
"Past experience shows us that about 90 per cent of those who are registered will vote," Manning said. "If the people voted for me, this is destiny, still all could not vote. This is the minutes, one of the most basic rights they are guaranteed in this nation, the right to vote."
The polls will be open until 8 p.m. in Wyndam County because of a foulup in Wichita.
Manning said he was prepared to file suit in federal district court by Monday to seek an injunction to force the polls to remain open until 8 p.m., if the election commissioners didn't change their minds by then.
The election commissioners of all three counties have said that the polls would close

KU Lost Innovation Regent Tells AAUP
By CAROLYN OLSON
Kansan Staff Writer
Jess Stewart, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents, told about 75 faculty members Thursday night that the university isn't as innovative as it was 10 years ago.
Harold M. Mallett, Pastor
Stewart spoke to the members of the American Association of University Professors (AUAP) in the Kansas Room of the Kansas Union.
"I am alarmed when I assess KU with the other five state institutions," Stewart said. "They seem to be moving forward, reaching out and upward to serve the people and students of Kansas, but I don't see that movement at KU right now."
Stewart said KU had no strong institutional leadership as it did 10 years ago. He clarified this statement by saying he didn't mean the university lacked strong administrators or faculty members, but higher education in Kansas, as it once did."
"AT ONE time all good ideas seemed to come from KU, but now other state institutions are taking the lead," Stewart said.
"The legislature thinks one system of higher education for the state of Kansas," Stewart said. "They have no special favors in this area." The legislature has a few staunch fans in the legislature.
Twenty years ago the Kansas Legislature was more pro-CO, but that isn't the case today.
"instated of asking for money to improve facilities, we should try, to improve the number of patients in the hospital."
Stewart said the facilities for the School of Fine Arts and the School of Law and an addition to Learned Hall definitely had to be financed.
HE ALSO discussed the soon-to-be published report from the Council of Chief Academic Officers (COCAO), a group which was charged with re-defining the purposes of the six state institutions of higher education in Kansas.
The council was composed of an equal number of representatives from the six state colleges and universities with Frances Heller, professor of law and political science, as chairman for the first two years of the study.

Stewart said the COCAO report did not favor consolidating duplicate departments in the six state institutions, such as forcing companies to form one department at one school.
"TO CONSOLIDATE departments, we would have to enlarge facilities and add faculty," Stewart said, "and all that would cost a lot of money.
The three-year study will now be discussed by the Higgens and the findings be published.
"Unfortunately, dollars are the common denominator of all educational institutions
After Stewart's speech, John Glink, president of the local AALP chapter and associate director of libraries, said a book by Jonathan Hodgson supports a jobbisty to the state legislature.
"We didn't take a vote, it was just a general consensus of opinion that we couldn't afford to pay a lobbyist," Glinka said.
Glinka said the local AAUP's sentiment on supporting a lobbyist would be sent to the state conference of the AAUP which will meet sometime this fall.
