The President has been called Tuesday in Turkey with state GOPs
Congress Approves Social Security Bill
The Social Security bill sailed through the House by a 365-1 vote and the Senate by a 61-0 vote, marking a big step toward Congress' hose-for-adjournment.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A compromise Social Security bill, increasing benefits by $6 billion, cleared the House and Senate Tuesday, but disputes over a bill to impose a $230 billion spending ceiling on the state's estimated efforts for immediate adjournment.
The President's brother rallied Tuesday in Topeka with state GOPs.
THE SOCIAL SECURITY bill would raise payroll taxes to pay for the costs of a worker matched by his employer, would be $631.80 next year, compared with $468 this year. But part of the increase would be paid by the workers who would set the maximum for 1977 at $85.
Although the bill was hailed by most Congressmen for improving the programs

Ed Nixon Saves Youth for Brother

TOPEKA—Edward Nixon, brother of President Richard Nikon, told a crowd of about 250 persons at the Topeka airport Tuesday that the Democratic party had no monopoly on young voters for the upcoming presidential election.
"They've got no monopoly at all on the young voters in this country." Nixon said, "I'm not ready to talk," and said "new faces" were needed in Congress. He urged election of Congressional candidates who would work with President and support his programs.
Here are major provisions in the Social Security-welfare bill sent to President Obama.
Campaigning on behalf of his brother and Republican Charles McAtee, 2nd District Congressional candidate, Nixon told the crowd that the Republicans had more young supporters than the Democrats would have the nation believe.
NIXON SAID the Republicans did not want a Congress made up of representatives who would follow all of President Nixon's programs automatically, but hoped instead for additional membership by the President's supporters on the various Congressional committees, where he said the legislative power lay.
ADDRESSING the nation by radio, Park said he would propose constitutional changes by Oct. 27 and submit them to a referendum in November. The changes, he said, would permit South Korea to face the transition from years of cold war to the new atmosphere of detente which included toward reunification with North Korea.
Nixon said that visits to 40 states during the campaign had convinced him that support for the President was widespread and growing.
Male recipients would benefit from the same retirement payment formula now available to women. This would mean a $10 increase in their annual income 1973 and fully effective January 1975.
Park said his measures would bring South Korea into line with present-day realities and would be best suited for backing up the active pursuit of South North dialogue and for coping successfully with the rapidly changing situation.
"We're coming together because the people are seeing we're on the right front."
$8.50 until it reached the present regular minimum payment of $84.50 a month. This would benefit 150,000 persons, effective January 1973.
Nixon's arrival, twenty minutes later than expected, was nearly upstaged by the arrival of a plane carrying Kansas Gov. Garth Olding, a few minutes before Nixon arrived.

The waiting period for disability benefits would be reduced from six to five months.
In Washington, State Department spokesman Charles W. Bray said the United States was not consulted about the decision and was not associated with it.
—The annual deductible for Part B of Medicare, which covers chiefly physicians' charges, would be increased from $50 to $60, effective with 1973.
IMMEDIATELY after the proclamation, armed troops and armored
IN HIS surprise announcement, Park promised to restore constitutional rule by the end of the year "at the latest." Asked for amplification on that point Wednesday morning, Park's press secretary said she hoped the governor elect a new president and a new National Assembly under the new constitution it wins approval in a referendum.
The spokesman, Kim Seong-jin, gave no explanation of the changes the park will make. The comments and remarks suggested that the president has in mind changes in the powers and func-

SEOUL (AP)—President Chung Hee Park proclaimed martial law in South Korea Tuesday and his spokesman pledged new presidential elections before the end of the year if a proposed constitutional revision is approved.
Park, a former four-star general, said he needed the extraordinary powers because reunification talks with North Korea could not be entrusted to political parties.
After the rally, Nixon also conducted a news conference at the airport. Nixon told the crowd that he had been the incident and the resulting charges by Democrats about political espionage on the part of the Committee to Re-Elect the president in 2014 and the President in the unpopular election.

Nixon said the chief campaign worry he has been able to detect among Republican workers was a fear of overconfidence generated by the current polls.
A person who has reached retirement age could earn $2,100 in a year without loss of benefits compared with $1,680 now. Above $2,100, he would lose $1 for each $2 of earnings. This would benefit 1.6 million persons, effective January 1973.
Nixon declined to say whether the President would visit Kansas during the campaign.
"IF IT WERE all made public right

much he wanted."
"His success in foreign affairs and his efforts to solve almost insoluble problems will be a major success."

An adjournment of Congress would be needed to get the President into active campaigning, Nixon said. He said his brother was remaining in the White House because he considered that to be the job of the President.

600 Last-Minute Voter Registrants File Smoothly Through Courthouse
Registration went smoothly for 600 Douglas County voters who took advantage of the last chance to register to vote Tuesday night.
"I'm really pleased that everything has gone so smoothly," Delbert Mathia, Douglas Couty Clerk, said. He said that there had been a heavy turnout since about
The scene at the County Courthouse was quite different than the night the registration books closed for the August ornaries.
Mathia said that he tried to plant things differently this time around. During the primaries there were only three persons on duty, Mathia said. This time there were
"I DON'T TOUCH to stand in line," Mattha said, "and I try to return the favor."
Vietnamization, Not Peace Talks Advised to End U.S.War Role
WASHINGTON (AP)—An analysis of the Vietnam war, widely circulated among Nixon administration planners but never released, said 18 months ago that peace negotiations and Vietnamization "cannot be comprehensively, with equal chance of success."
The study said any thaw in peace talks could undermine the "atmosphere of struggle for survival" on which Vietnamization depends" and recommended Vietnamization as the best opportunity for U.S. disenemployment from the war.
Hours after being sworn in on Monday as the new Army chief of staff, Gen. Creighton W. Abrams, former U.S. commander in Vietnam, left for Saigon to evaluate progress on Vietnamization. Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, president of The Washington University, returned to Paris Monday for another round of peace talks with the North Vietnamese.
The administration is on record as seeking a settlement of the war through peace talks while pursuing a policy of Vietnamization.
Intensive peace talks in Paris last week produced a flurry of rumors that a settlement was near but sources indicated that the question of a Communist role in a post-war South Vietnamese government was a major stumbling block.
THE STUDY, prepared by a senior RAND Corp. analyst, argued that Com-
munit participation in South Vietnamese government would result in an end of American aid without which a Communist "would only be a matter of time."
The author of the analysis said that Vietnamization offered the best opportunity for American withdrawal under conditions that would maximize the chances that a viable non-Communist regime would endure in South Vietnam."
Sources familiar with the RAND study, which was sent to the Pentagon in March 1971, said it received attention from top officials including Kissinger. RAND is a public research corporation whose principal client is the Defense Department.
Thus, he said, North Vietnam might thus its negotiating stance as a tactic to undermine Vietnamization. The U.S. government would have no obligation to government at a point where it can resist
Communitist pressure without direct U.S. military involvement.
THE RAND ANALYSIS was written by Guy J. Pauker, who spent years in Vietnam and Indonesia and became an independent teacher. He was a Harvard classmate of Kissinger.
His analysis was prepared as an unclassified document but was never released after it was submitted to the Pentagon for routine security review. A copy was obtained by The Associated Press.
Pauker's analysis also said that Americans who demanded that the government of President Nguyen Van Dieman did not understand Vietnamese politics.
"A truly 'broadly based' or 'representative' government is not possible in South Vietnam today," he wrote. "It is a fiction which can only perpetuate chaos and retard the Vietnamization program that was initiated by the communist movement." In the last six months, faced with a Communist military offensive, Thieu has moved against domestic political opposition, suspended provincial elections and closed several newspapers.
Mathia said that in spite of all the advanced publicity of the closing of the registration books, he would probably receive about 10 telephone calls today from people who hadn't registered, saying "I just didn't know."
Wendy Hempill, 17-year-old and one youngest instructor at the County Clerk's office in Rusty, Iowa, asked if everybody who turned out to register tonight." Hempill and her mother who have registered voters for the recall movement had registration tables in Rusty's food centers.
The final figures on the total number registered should be between 32,000 and 33,000, Mathia said. He said that he didn't know for sure because of all the registration cancellations he received every day. About a hundred cancellations were received yesterday, Mathia said, with who had decided to register elsewhere.
MANY OF THOSEN who registered Tuesday night said they had received telephone calls in the last couple of days from persons saying that they were not married and that Matthia said that one woman complained to him after receiving three such calls.
Nancy Davis, 1523 Davis Road, also received one of the calls. "I thought I had registered," she said. "but someone called and said that I adn'd."
LOREN IMPSON, Democratic candidate from the 43rd Representative district, had his own brand of campaigning last night. Impson said that he was making sure people registered to perform per person duties between his district and the County Clerk's Office.
Stephanie Woodruff, 10-years-old, said it was important to register so that people could see her.
Unfortunately, Mathia said, many of the people who came in to check on the status of their registration because of the telephone calls were actually registered. The calls may have been working from registration lists that were out of date, he said.
Voter registration was a family affair for Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Woodruff, 1607 West 26th St. and their two daughters, Michael and Emily. They had not registered earlier because they just moved to Lawrence from the San Francisco Bay area. He said that he and his wife like Lawrence because there was money, lower living costs and fewer people.
job of the President is important,
Stephanie said, "because he can take care
of the states and have peace among
everyone."
"LAST NIGHT I ran a lot of voter registration promos and played politically-minded songs, said Tim Bradley. KLWN disc jockey, who registered at 8:45 am this morning, came to register earlier, but he didn't have enough time to wait through the lines.
Many people said that they worked or simply admitted that they were "just too busy" to work.
By 8:30 p.m., the crowd had thinned and Mathea shouted, "Hey girls, we've got it better!"
And everyone sighed with relief.
Miller Says New Brides Cannot Vote
Atty. Gen Vern Miller Tuesday declared ineligible to vote Kansas women who change their names by the Nov. 10 date now and the Nov. general election.
Kansas law provides, Miller said, that a voter's registration is valid unless his or her name is changed by divorce or legal proceeding.
Miller's opinion went to Secretary of State Elwain Shanahan, who had raised the question last week in a letter to Miller.
"If the name of the voter changes as a result of a marriage occurring after the closing of registration will be ineligible to vote will . . . become void by operation of law, and . . . such voter will be ineligible to vote under such registration in the voting district of Mrs. Shanan," Miller wrote Mrs. Shanan.
Voter registration in counties which have previously had it closes today in Kansas.
