Von Ende Takes Over Nichols Slot
Von Ende, former assistant to the director of University Relations, will assume the position left vacant when he becomes director of the Bellwether August 19, by the Board of Recents.
Raymond Nichols, acting Chancellor,
announced Thursday that Richard Von
Ende had been appointed acting executive
secretary of the University of Kansas.
Von Ende, 30, received his Master's Degree in political science from KU in 1971 and has worked as an assistant to John Lester at University Relations, for the past two years.
As a graduate student at KU, Von Ende was involved in the development of the University's new system of governance and served on the University Senate. He also served on the KU Athletic Board and the University Planning Board.
Von Ende unsuccessfully sought the Republican Party's nomination as a candidate for the state legislative seat in the 44th District in the recent primary election. Both he and his wife, Kadryn, are GOP politics, holding precinct offices.
Von Ende will act as executive secretary until a new Chancellor is selected by the search committee, which will be selected in favor of the guard of Regents in mid-September.
Nichols said he thought the new Chancellor should have a part in the selection of candidates.
Nichols said Von Ende was "eminently qualified for the position." He pointed to Von Ende's two years' experience with the student department and his work with the Student Senate.
"He is extremely capable as a junior administrator. He has the talents and facilities in English that are necessary for the position," Nichols said.
Von Ende said Nichols had approached him about the job a few days ago. He said he assumed Nichols would return to the school when a new Chancellor was named.
Nichols said he had 16 months before his retirement and didn't know whether the new Chancellor would want him to return to former position as executive secretary.

Nixon, Tanaka Near Agreement on Trade
HONOLULU (AP)—President Nixon and Japanese Prime Minister Kaikuei Tanaka moved in summit talks Kaukel to the verge of ratification of a billion-dollar emergency trade package and agreed each country would go its own way in improving relations with China.
In three hours of talks, the two leaders ranged from the touchy question of economic competition to the broader issue of shifting balance of power in the Pacific.
U. S. officials made it clear that the two leaders were in basic agreement on a short-term trade accord designed to ease U.S. imbalance in trade with Japan.
ZIELGER SAID the two leaders discussed in "substantial detail" the moves by each country to improve relations with China.
White House Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said a final agreement had not been reached but added, "We feel there will be some result coming from the meetings . . . We expect something at least on the short-term side."
"Our view is that each country will follow its own policy." Zlegler said, and
that the United States "will not attempt to offer, advice to Tanaka's government."
The two leaders will issue a joint statement Friday at the conclusion of their talks.
The two leaders moved into their scheduled six hours of conferences after Nixor received from Saigon Ambassador Ellsworth Bunker a report of continuing progress in turning the war over to the South Vietnamese—but no word of a breakthrough toward a negotiated settlement.
NIXON AND Tanaka had before them an agreement worked out before the summit calling for Japan to import on a crash basis slightly more than $1 billion in U.S. products, such as enriched uranium, airplanes and agricultural products.
The agreement would ease the $3.8-billion annual trade deficit the United States is facing because of massive sales from automobiles in companies ranging from automobiles in companies.
The Japanese were reported willing to pay in advance for about $750 million in U.S. imports, thus speeding up the impact of the emergency accord. But sources said Nixon wanted more than a short-term pact.
O'Brien May Leave Demo Campaign
WASHINGTON (AP)—Sen, George McGovern is doing some political stocktaking aimed at resolving in-house complaints about his campaign organization
Discounting the early polls, the Democratic presidential nominee said Thursday his chances of winning the White House were better than even.

Other campaion aides also attended.
"We sort of tie all the bows," said马昆owie, the national director of Al Qaeda's insurgency.
It was understood that O'Brien, who managed the campaigns of the last three Democratic nominees, considered the Wednesday night meeting a good start, but remained unconvinced that organizational problems had been overcome.
He was seeking, they said, another long-range $1-billion agreement believed to hinge on the lowering of Japanese trade tariffs. The American and European competitive imports from the United States.
There are to be further conferences before the traditional Labor Day opening
Despite the title, O'Brien is not the head man in the McGovern campaign; his chief task is working with party regulars and office-holders in behalf of the ticket.
Knight Newspapers Washington bureau, the Herald quoted O'Brien as saying, "Labor Day, Sept. 4, is pretty much D-Day for me. If you see me around here next week, you'll know some things have been out my way. And I think I'll be here."
He made no specific, itemized complaints publicly, but an associate said O'Brien saw a "formlessness to the thing he did" before he be the weekend before Labor Day."
O'Brien told the Miami Herald Thursday that he might leave the campaign after Labor Day unless steps were taken to improve the organization.
Mankiewicz said he assumed O'Brien would remain in his current spot and be an active participant in the McGovern campaign.
MGovern and two top strategists, Frank Mankiewicz and Gary Hart, spent three hours discussing the campaign and its problems with O'Brien Wednesday
ALTHOUGH TRADE dominated the agenda, officials indicated that the two leaders would focus first on the balance of power in the Pacific—especially as it relates to moves by both countries to improve relations with China.
White House press secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said there was no written agenda for the meeting, but the two leaders probably would begin their discussions by telling Nixon's trip last winter to China and his subsequent journey to the Soviet Union.

Asked about a reported $1.1-billion trade package Ziegler said the figure was not firm because there 'still are some final decisions that have to take place.'
Nixon's one-hour session with Bunker was attended also by Rogers and foreign adviser Henry Kissinger.
U. S. OFFICIALS indicated that Bunker provided the president with a more detailed analysis of his regularly cabled reports, notifying the president that the South Vietnamese had assumed full ground combat responsibilities and were taking a larger role in air operations.
There was no official word, however, on what the white-haired 78-year-old diplomat told Nixon about the flexibility of South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van Thieu's government on peace negotiations with the North Vietnamese.
KENNETM, Mo. (AP) - Sen, Thomas Eagleton, D-Mo., in reply to a question concerning recent trips abroad by Pierre Salinger and Ramsey Clark, said Thursday, "It would have been preferable if they had stayed at home."
Clark, Salinger Trips Regretted by Eagleton
Before concluding their talks Friday, Nixon and Tanaka were expected to put final touches on the short-term agreement. But U.S. officials indicated Nixon wanted movement on the longer-term questions too.
Clark, former U.S. attorney general, recently returned from a visit to North Vietnam and described bomb damage in Hanoi and its environs resulting from U.S. air strikes. Salinger, press secretary to President Lyndon Johnson, conferred at the request of Sen. George McGovern with the North Vietnamese delegation to Paris.
Since Nixon's breakthrough journey to Peking, Japan has moved rapidly to thaw its relations with China. Within weeks after Tanaka took office July 6, he had received an invitation from Premier Chou En-lai to come to Peking. He is expected to make the visit next month.

"I don't see how you can reconcile your position and go out and campaign for a man who said he was 1,000 per cent behind you at a time when he apparently was cutting your throat. Many loyal Democrats in this area consider McGovern an irresponsible person and could never vote for him."
Eagleton said the candidate had been under great pressure from the McGovern staff to drop the Missouri senator from the ticket, and he felt the outcome would be better than being with McGovern in the Black Hills of South Dakota after the convention.
He said McGovern then could have gained better perspective about difficulties Eagleton's past illnesses had presented, rather than relying on once daily telephone conversations with his running mate.
Enemy Sappers, Rockets Hit South Viet Coast Area
SAIGON (AP)—Enemy sappers, moving under the cover of a rocket and mortar barrage early Friday, attacked a central coastal district town recaptured by the South Vietnamese a little more than a month ago.
The Saigon command said there was no immediate report on casualties in the attack against Tam Quan district town in Binh Dinh Province.
The enemy forces fired 500 rockets and mortars into the district town itself shortly after midnight and simultaneously supersonic sapper attack on the militia defenders.
At the same time, 100 rockets and mortars hit government rampages camped
half-mile south of the town. The rangers attacked by sappers, the Saigon commander.
Tam Quan was one of three district towns in northern Binh Dinh that fell to the North Vietnamese last April and May. All Tet villages were occupied by northeastern counteroffensive in late July.
The U.S. Command announced American warplanes destroyed a huge ammunition depot and damaged three other military targets in raids on North
Most of the targets in the raids Wednesday centered on Vinh, which lies on the coast about 140 miles north of the demilitarized zone.
Dole Rips McGovern's Financing
WASHINGTON (AP)—Republican National Chairman Robert J. Dole accused George S. McGoven's presidential campaign fund-raisers Wednesday of "devious cover-ups," and asked the General Accounting Office to probe what he termed evidence of Democratic violations of the political finance law.
And McGovern's Democratic national political director, Frank Mankiewicz, responded that Dole's accusations were "nitpicking," and "and rather insubstantial charges at best," designed to lure public attention away from the GOP presidential financing and Democratic headquarters bugging cases.
Mankiewicz reported that GAO, "as part of a routine campaign audit scheduled before," began a review of McGovern political financing activities Wednesday.
Dole told the Federal Elections Office Director Philip S. Hughes: "I believe there is a campaign appearance that the McGovernment campaign appears to least seven serious violations" of the law.
Dole said financial reports filed by McGovern's organization "indicate that the senator's campaign officials and others acting on his behalf have conspired to mislead the public by false and misleading filings," and have generally attempted to mislead your office and the general public." Dole said violations by the McGovern people "could involve hundreds of thousands in nonreported and improperly reported campaign funds."
In its report on the Republican financing case, GAO said the GOP campaign organization had failed to make required disclosures involving about $350.000.
LAST SATURDAY, GAO accused President Nixon's re-election campaign hand-handlers of "apparent and possible" violations of the law.

Mankiewicz said that for Dole “to accuse the McGovern campaign of the kind of violations that are talked about in this letter is somewhat like a man caught on the street after a bank robbery with the cash in a sack calling in the police to arrest a jawkiller he sees crossing the street. I don't think anybody is fooled by this.”
surprising that Sen. Dole would come up with six or seven suppositions and mipicking charges with respect to the McGown campaign. We have every confidence that an investigation by GAO will demonstrate that fact."
Among violations alleged by Dole and Mankiewicz responses were:
Dole—The McGovern campaign received at least $10,000 from a London-based committee called "Americans for the Fed," which has registered with the federal elections office.
Mankiewicz-There is such a committee, it did contribute $10,000, and so has not registered." There is "some doubt" that foreign companies were required to file.
We'll clear that up, and that committee will file very shortly."
DOLE-It has been generally reported in the press that some supporters bought tickets for a Madison Square Garden McGoventry rally in amounts of $2,000 or more, but that they have not been individually identified.
Dole—The press has generally reported that Stewart Mott of New York contributed $77,500 to McGovern's campaign, but public disclosures report $80,000 in contributions.
Mankiewicz—There is "no concealment there at all." The concert in question was June 14, coming after the initial filing period deadline, and "if there were such contributions they probably came in after it" ("giving") and could be included in a later report.
Mankiewicz—the last report was made June 28. "And I am confident the report was accurate. He has made other comments," he reported when we make our next filing."
