A KU history instructor's book about John Palmer Usher, a member of Lincoln's cabinet and one-time Lawrence citizen, will be published Saturday. Elmo R. Richardson collaborated with Alan W. Farley, a Kansas City, Kan., attorney, to write "John Palmer Usher: Lincoln's Secretary of the Interior." "This is not a book about Lincoln." Mr. Richardson said. "I am interested in politics as a part of the American governmental system. Usher was a good example of the man who is a connecting link between the men who make political policy and those who carry it out." New Book Ready For The Presses Usher was elected mayor of Lawrence in 1879 and served a turbulent two-year term. His home is now the chapter house of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. Defendant Taxes Judges's Patience BOSTON—(UPI) — Judges should write brief opinions in deciding cases, according to Chief Justice J. Edgar Murdock of the Tax Court of the United States. To illustrate his point, he told the Massachusetts Bar Association of a tax court case in which a taxpayer came into court and testified. "As God is my judge, I do not owe this tax." This, said Murdock, was the judge's decision; "He's not. I am. You do." Special Service Awards were presented to Robert Smith, Lawrence, Robert Lynn, Gainesville, Tex., and John Patten, Kansas City, all seniors, for valuable contributions to television program broadcasts from KU this year. Judy Grav, Lawrence junior, was awarded a ten-week summer internship with station KLWN, Lawrence. Robert L.
