POWs Phone Their Families From Moscow
MOSCOW (AP)—Three liberated American prisoners of war on the way to the United States from North Vietnam spend Wednesday night in the Soviet capital making emotional telephone calls on tour and touring Red Square.
They were light-hearted and in their clothes, they were freed from a prison camp on them.
Navy LT. Mark Gartley called his father in Greenville, Maine, and said "Hello, Dad" for the first time in more than four years.
Gartley, imprisoned since 1968, was sent to Hawaii by his mother, Minee Lee Gartley.
Charles said the little girl replied:
"Brinr me some chocolate, Daddy."
Charles had been in a POW camp for about 10 months, and wife traveled to New York.
Navy LT. Norris Marshall telephoned his Navy old- daughter, Kirsten, in Tampa, Florida. He sent a photo of them.
At midnight, the pilots went by bus to illuminated Red Square and saw the bright-painted onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral.
Air Force Maj. Edward Elias called his wife, Georgia, in Washington, D.C. The happiest news he got was that his 3-yearson Mike was fine. Elias, who had been a prisoner four months, also said hello to his father
While waiting for the calls to come through, peppered with strips of pepper and Russian carne.
The pilots made their calls from the home of an airline representative.
The pilots and their escort of antiwar activists seemed relieved that their confrontation with U.S. officials at Moscow's international airport earlier in the day was over, didn't know what happened, and said afterward that it had come off satisfactorily.
The pilots turned down a U.S. offer to spend the night in the U.S. Embassy residence. Instead they went to the transit hotel, of Aeroflot, the Soviet airline, and spent two hours at the rooms Charles had been hoping for a hot shower, but there was no hot water.

White House Denies Viet Peace Accord
WASHINGTON (AP)—Presidential adviser Henry A. Kissinger returned Wednesday night from an unusual two-day secret meeting with North Vietnamese negotiators, but the White House denied a peace agreement had been reached.
"There's no substance to that particular
"therefore," Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler
He referred to a story by RKO Broadcast News that Kissinger's sessions in Paris had produced agreement on nearly all points for a Vietnam cease-fire.
Kissinger flew into Andrews Air Force Base near Washington and declined to talk with reporters about his meetings with students of neophilists Le Duc Tho and Xuan Thu.
"I can't say anything." he said.
While he was en route from Paris, the New stock market jumped 10 points in response to the RKO report by newsman Tom Corker. He and his agreement had been reached in Paris.
EVANS STORY said all issues had been presented by President Nguyen Van Thien.
"That is expected to be resolved by the resignation of Thieu, who will be replaced by a three-party coalition government," Evans reported.
In California, Ziegler earlier had refused to discuss Evans' story, saying the United States and North Vietnam had agreed not to attack the substance of the discussions.
However, Ziegler denied a related report that Nixon had planned to go on national television Wednesday night to report an agreement.
Administration sources said there was no foundation to the reports that an agreement was reached during the longest period of time. The Sinoginger has had with the North Vietnamese.
THE OPTIMBISTIC expressions that sparked the stockmarket rally were failed to explain why the market behaved in such a way.

MrBride said that he did require that his students report to class on time. He related an experience recently to a member of the staff who came to interview him in his office.
"He told me as he left that he would probably be seeing me again, as part of the committee work is to visit and observe classes. I laughed and told him to be sure to come early, or he wouldn't get in," McBride said.
McBride defends his toughness on grading with an argument that engineers must be qualified for their work when they leave the school. He maintains that a tough grade scale sets a standard for which the students may strive.
"Frankly, I think students want stamina and to take pride in it when they make them."
McBRIDE HAS TAUGHT at the University of Kansas for 20 years. Before coming to KU, he worked for several industrial firms in the power equipment and nuclear reactor fields. In 1962 he was a HOPE Award nominee.

Consumer Association Loses Out In Bid for Office Space in JRP

Balfour said the committee rejected the request for space in JRP because the CPA was not the type of agency that was normally placed in residence halls.

The rejection of the request for space in building 47 will allow space on campus. The agency will continue to search for on-campus office space in a building other than a residence
"I'm all in favor of a consumer protection agency," said Balfour. "I think it's a thing that's very badly needed in the community."
The University of Kansas Consumer Protection Association (CPA) was denied a request Wednesday for office space in the University's Security Housing Administration Committee.
Balfour said office space in residence halls was given only to organizations that would benefit primarily hall residents. That requirement the CPA didn't meet this requirement.
William M. Balfour, vice chancellor for student affairs and chairman of the Housing Administration Committee, said the CPA did not meet established guidelines for office space in a residence hall.
BALFOUR SAID he and Katherine, Topeka junior and student body vice president, would meet today to discuss an alternative location for the office.
BALFOUR ALSO said opposition by hall

Allen said that she and Balfour would contact Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, today to explore the possibility of establishing a temporary basis, in the Union building.
"It really should be up to the residents of the hall." Balfour said.
BALFOUR SAID he would help the CPA in any way he could to obtain office space. He praised the group for what, he called, the "incredible ground work in prearranging the agency."
Alen said the Consumer Protection Association would pursue any possibilities for a location on campus and would seek counsel from university campus possibilities had been exhausted.
Bob Landman, Lawrence second-year law student and member of the CPA board of directors, announced the names of the three new members of the recently hired managers of the CPA.
Ray Berman and Linda Biles have been hired as co-managers of the Consumer Protection Association. Pat Weiss will be an unpaid staffer for the agency and will
Berman, 44, has been employed in retail store management with such firms as Katz Management.
BILES graduated from the School of Journalism at KU in 1969. Since graduating she has been at the University of Minnesota where she was manager of Student Services and program consultant for the West Bank Union, one of three
student unions at the University of Minnesota.
The CPA Board of Directors is composed of Landman, Allen, Berman, Biles, and Wiley.
The other six members are Emily Cameron, third-year law student from Columbus, Nebr.; Nick Herrick, third-year law student from Ames; Iowa, Jerry Harper, second-year law student from New York; Michael Hall, Junior, Karen, junior; Joe Vigilio, second-year law student from Wichita; and Chris Hall, second-year law student from Lawrence.
meetings, which originally had been announced for only one day.
In addition, the White House itself caused some more speculation when it announced the secret meetings would go into a second day, by pointing to a recent attack that happened this month that the North Vietnamism apparently were negotiating seriously.
Kissinger made the statement after his strips to Moscow and Paris and in the wake of a new Viet Cong statement on its behalf he establish a post war government in Saipan.
Government officials said at the time that there was little new in the Viet Cong plan. And William Porter, the chief U.S. envoy to Vietnam, said he saw nothing hopeful in the proposal.
IN DISCUSSING the situation Wednesday, government sources said they were nothing to change that assessment, with both the Kissinger's decision to move an extra day in the
Paris was at least interesting and possibly significant.
The two days of talks were cloaked in total secrecy. First word of the meeting came from a White House announcement that Mr. Trump had later said the meeting was being extended
Speculation centered on the Viet Cong plan for a tripartite provisional government to replace the regime of President Nguyen Van Thien in Saigon.
The extension of the meeting to two days roused a flurry of speculation here, but there was no word from any knowledgeable source about what may have been discussed or why an extra day was needed.
The Americans and South Vietnamese have rejected the plan.
The Communists have insisted that unless the United States stops supporting Thieu, causes its aerial attacks in North and South Vietnam and ends its mining of ports in the North Vietnam, the war will go on.
Voting Age May Bring School Revenue Loss
WASHINGTON (AP) - Passage of the 28th Amendment to the Constitution, extending voting rights to 18-year-olds, may lead to a revenue loss running into the hundreds of millions of dollars for state colleges and universities.
On behalf of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, Carbone surveyed nearly 400 four-year colleges which are members of these groups.
This is the potential loss from nonresident fees at state schools if adult students are enrolled for students in college towns make them exempt from nonresident tuition charges, according to Robert F. Carbone,骨 dean of Education at the University of Maryland.
"If adult status and voting rights for college-age citizens eliminate nonresident tuition charges in public colleges and universities," Carbone said, "the effect on higher-education budgets will be staggering."
Schools surveyed by Carbone enrolled
this fall 635. The average differential of
$832,040,496.
In general, Carbone said, current requests for reclassification have been denied on the ground that the university's policies are not aligned with being a registered voter of the state.
Undoubtedly, he concluded, the question
determining residence will be decided in
the coming weeks.
A new California state law gives 18-year-old adults status for virtually all purposes, Carbon said, and this has been interpreted to mean an out-of-state student could commence the one year durational exemption to be eligible for in-state tuition fees.
ABOUT HALF the institutions responding, Carbone said, reported they had inquiries related to reclassification.
The one-year durational requirement for earning residency for tuition purposes in Minnesota was upheld in a U.S. Supreme Court decision.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Rules Committee in effect killed a $1.05 billion controversial bill housing bill Wednesday, the final day of a remainder of the Congressional session.
Controversial Housing Bill Dies in Rules Committee
House leaders, anticipating such action, already had scheduled for emergency handling Monday a resolution temporarily extending major housing programs. The House was briefed on officials said a gap of a few of days would not be unduly burdensome.
Under fire from both conservatives and liberals because of various provisions lumped into one 322-page piece of legislation, the measure had been in trouble long before the House Banking Committee finished work on it.
The Rules Committee, which controls the flow of major legislation to the floor, voted 8 to 5 for the fast postponement. It acted after several members warned that a delay would adequately debated and reconfirmed with a Senate version in the time remaining.
Congress plans to adjourn Oct. 14. Ay-
 legislation not finally enacted by then dies.
The House, in passing the bill last year,
raised the ceiling to $2,000.
Backers of the Senate bill said the Mansfield amendment would cost $1.7 billion more than present law and, in general, would aid retired persons who already had the highest incomes. They opposed the amendment.
Judges Cut Nobel Peace Prize
The bill would have gone part way with President Richard Nixon's proposals for combining specific programs into block grants.
The five-man Nobel Prize committee of the Norwegian parliament, announced Wednesday that the prize would not be given, but did not give
OSLO (AP)—The Nobel Peace Prize will not be awarded this year, the 19th omission since the prizes beaten in 1901.
Under the law now, a person receiving Social Security payment can earn up to $390 per year.
The proposal was sponsored by Democratic leader Mike Mansfield of Montana and adopted as an amendment to the big Social Security-welfare bill.
In other Congressional action Wednesday, the Senate voted 76 to 5 to permit people under Social Security to be $3,000 a year without loss of benefits.
The general view in Oslo was that the committee was unable to find a worthy candidate.
The prize money, about $100,000,
will be kept in the Nobel Fund. The
prize was last omitted in 1967.
Other known proposed candidates were the antiwar priests Philip and Daniel Berrigan, and Archbishop Dom Heller Camara of Brazil.
American winners in the postwar
The committee never discloses the names of the candidates, but one of the proposed candidates was said to be a native New Yorker in a Swedish family planning expert.
In 1971, the prize went to Chancellor Willy Brändt of West Germany, who was cited for his efforts at East-West reconciliation.
period were Norman Borglau in 1970, Martin Luther King Jr. in 1964, George C. Marshall in 1933, and Erny G. Malchin and John R. Mott in 1925.
At times the prize has gone to organizations rather than to individuals. In 1969, the International Labor Organization, based in Switzerland, received in and in 1985 the United Nations Children's Fund.
The prize was established in the will of Alfred Nobel, the Swedish inventor of dynamite.
