Legislators Point To Important Gains
TOPEKA — (UPI) - Legislative members of both parties claimed important gains today from the 1960 budget session of the legislature.
The Senate and House adjourned last night almost seven hours before the midnight deadline prescribed by the constitution.
House Minority Leader John O. Adams (D-Osborne) said the Democrats had "backed Gov. Docking in his determined, sincere, earnest efforts to put economy, efficiency and realistic financing in our state government.
"We the Democratic members of the House of Representatives are glad to submit this policy record to the people of Kansas."
House Majority Leader T. M. Murrell (R-Topeka) said he regretted "that we have failed to enact any tax reduction and that we have failed to provide funds to accelerate the college building program.
"On the affirmative side, we have enacted much to promote the general welfare and economical well-being of this state and we have left a balance in the state treasury."
Two Republican senators were sharply critical of Docking for his veto of the $3.9 million school building acceleration bill.
"This is indeed a sorry day for education in Kansas," Sen. August Lauterbach of Colby, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said.
Sam. Verne Hoisington of Paradise said the action "reflects his (Gov. Doakings) attitude against all public school education."
Here is the major legislation of the budget session;
- Seven per cent pay raises for faculty and administrators at Kansas colleges and universities.
- Rates totaling $894,275 for about 1,600 employees at state hospitals.
*Increase in emergency aid to schools from $6 per pupil to $15.
$\textcircled{2}$ Appropriation of $500,000 to continue a Brucellosis control program for two more years.
- Increase in prices of fishing and hunting licenses.
- © Notley $1 million for planning the Kansas centennial in 1961.
- Appropriation of $1,000 for new buildings at the School for the Blind at Kansas City and the School for the Deaf at Oathe.
$\textcircled{6}$ Appropriation of nearly $300,000 for the Kansas Industrial Development Commission.

CIUADAD TRUJILLO, D. R.
(UPI) -Sen. George Smathers (D-
Fla) says Generalissimo Rafael Trujillo has assured him he will be lenient with "anti-government plotters" arrested here recently.

Mystery Object May Be Another Russian Rocket
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A mysterious earth-circling object about the size of a large oil truck was being studied today to determine whether the Russians have put up a secret satellite.
American tracking stations detected the object in a near-polar orbit. They are uncertain whether it is a voiceless satellite, or a section of a space rocket that got into orbit.
One theory is that the object might be the result of a Russian satellite or lunar probe firing that was unsuccessful and was never announced. In this case, the mystery probably would deepen because no cooperation could be expected from the Russians in identifying the object.
May Be Lunar III Rocket
Another theory is that the mysterious object may be a section of Russia's lunar III rocket that photographed the moon last October.
The defense department emphasized there was no suspicion that the object was a weapon or in any way connected with the "fantastic new weapon" that Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev mentioned recently.
An announcement issued at the Pentagon last night said tracking stations are watching a dozen manmade objects in the sky, and these include "one in a near-polar orbit which we have been watching for some time and which may be of Soviet origin."
Smaller Than Discoverer
"This object is slightly smaller than the U. S. Discoverer carrier rockets of which six are now in orbit in a somewhat similar path," the announcement said.
The U. S. carrier rocket thrown
into orbit is 19.2 feet long and five feet in diameter.
The tracking stations are spread across the southern part of the United States. They were set up last year for the announced purpose of making sure the "silent satellites—that is those without internal telemetering radio or one whose radio is inactive—will not be able to orbit unnoticed over the United States."
A March of Dimes grant of $333,019 by the National Foundation will insure a continuing K.U. Medical Center search for harmless strains of polio virus for use in a live-virus vaccine.

Labor Man Calls for Tax Revision
A Kansas labor leader told the faculty forum yesterday that a reevaluation of the state tax structure is needed to provide more money for the state's schools.
H. J. "Jim" Yount, vice-president of the Kansas State Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO told the forum of labor's stand on issues which were brought before the budget session of the legislature, and discussed lobbying and prominent Kansas political personalities.
Yount was introduced as one of the leading lobbyists in Kansas legislative councils.
"Things have changed since I first went to Topeka and hardly knew where to find the state house." Yount said. "In 1945 no one would be seen around Topeka with me. They'd meet me in a hotel room, but they wouldn't have lunch with我."
"In 15 years we have hit a more
common denominator," he said. "The increasing industrialization of Kansas has brought about a greater awareness of labor, and we have learned to modify some of our demands."
Yount told of progress which has been made in labor legislation in the state.
"We have worked up to a position among the top 15 states in Workmen's Compensation. We'll try to go higher. Over 100 are killed in industrial accidents in Kansas every year," he said.
He said that labor places great emphasis on safety legislation to prevent loss of life.
"In unemployment compensation, our laws rank us among the top six or seven states in the nation," he said.
Yount said that labor is caught in
