Laser use advocated
One of the world's foremost authorities on laser development said last night that, although the power of lasers was incredible, its use would be more beneficial on earth rather than in space.
Nicolas Bloombergen, winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize in physics, lectured before more than 300 people in Woodruff Auditorium.
"We just barely have enough power to heat metal with lasers, let alone using them in space against Russian satellites," Bloombergen said. "If Russia wants to create lasers for the purpose of destroying our satellite
stations in space, let them, but I doubt if they'll be accomplishing much."
He said that lasers in war would be much more beneficial in ground wives.
"The military is sponsoring laser projects because laser beams can be used on any object from any various distance," he said.
"All the great power weapons invented from laser beams will be in the distant future, I believe. But then again, society sometimes moves so fast that you can never tell how soon something might happen."

TOPEKA--Apparently thwarted in their attempt to impose a user's tax on beer sales, alcoholism counselors asked a Senate committee yesterday to increase a tax drawn from liquor sales at private clubs in the state.
Now, 10 cents from each dollar spent on liquor at private clubs is carmichael fund. But alcoholism counseling professionals, faced with cuts

Counselors request club liquor tax hike
"So I don't think an extra 5 cents on the dollar is going to hurt sales," Heckman told the Senate Ways and Means Committee.

alcoholism programs, according to Allen Liloyd, city budget manager.
Another third of the money is earmarked for local park and recreation programs across the state, with some calls into cities 'given revenue funds.'
BUT BRUCE BEALE, director of the Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism, said the Lawrence money ideally designated for alcoholism was sufficient well as with the Women's Transitional Care Services.
ALTOUGH all of the taxes drawn from liquor sales at private clubs now fall into the state alcoholic liquor laws. In addition, money goes to alcoholic programs.
GRAY WORKED hard in her lifetime to achieve many honors. She accomplished a successful acting career as a student in stock companies across America.
Gray, a Richland, Kan, native, told her audience that some man found it very difficult to work under a woman treasurer. Some refused to do it, she said, but because her father had taught him how to work, she was able to settle most disputes.
Treasurer recalls era
With the depression and the coming of talking pictures, her life as an actress faded and she returned to her home to work in her father's bank.
On June 21, 1949, $27.4 billion in government securities was placed in the custody of Georgia Neese Gray.
When most women were fighting for mere recognition, Gray had accomplished something almost unheard of in that time. She had just been appalled by the president Harry S. Truman as the first woman treasurer of the United States.
"For the first few months in office I didn't do a damn thing but study. Being the first woman, I knew I'd have to." Gray told members of the Alpha Phi sorority last night at a dinner in her honor.
In 1938, she became the bank's president, in charge of $500,000. She
In Lawrence, the liquor tax creates about $200.000.
"I had known how to work, I knew how to work and I worked." she said.
The Lawrence City Commission set aside about $12,000 out of the alcoholism aid for the WTCS and alcoholics often abuse their wives. Beaile said.
was unaware that in a few short years
she received a gift for more than $27 billion.
Truman became aware of Gray's abilities and leadership qualities as a National Democratic committee woman of Kansas, a position she held 26 years earlier. The office of the treasurer, Gray was asked to resign this post on the committee.
"I knew that Kansans were proud to have their委員会woman as the lieutenant," she said. "I told the men Washung. I would忍 resign and I didn't do it."
GRAY SAID that she owed a great deal to all women and that she was very proud to hold such an office to help women move up in society.
This money is split between the general revenue fund, the department of parks and recreation and city
"Women had come a long way since the right to vote and attend school. I worked like a son-of-a-gun to make good," she said.
Gray recalls the president's concern that she would be taking a cut in pay to become the treasurer. Telling her that she would make three times less than what she made as the bank president, he asked her if she could afford it.
TYPESETTING STATS/PMT
Realizing the importance of holding such a high position and being a part of the Washington protocol, she said, "Mr. President, since I am the first woman with this opportunity, can I afford to say no?"
