Kansas Politics Get Rougher
As Nov. 8 gets closer, Kansas politics get rougher. The accusations are louder, and the speeches longer.
From around the state here is what the politicians are saying today.
---
INDEPENDENCE —(UPI)— Gov. George Docking said here last night Republican administration would increase the sales tax.
The governor told a senior citizens group "Republicans in the past have demonstrated such concentration on the sales tax as a politically painless method of raising money."
Docking said the most direct contribution he could make to the welfare of senior citizens, if re-elected, would be to hold the line on taxes and keep public expenditures in balance.
"You people in particular were injured financially by the insistence of the Republican legislature to increase the sales tax," he said. "I resisted this increase by vetoing it three times, and I am still pledged to a reduction back to the original 2 per cent."
In a speech earlier yesterday at Chanute, Docking said the Republi-cans were using a "pie in the sky" approach to voters. He said the GOP was promising everything to every voter bloc without telling the people how it proposes to finance these programs.
HILL CITY — (UPI) — Atty, Gen.
John Anderson, Jr., Republican
candidate for governor, said here
last night the surplus in state funds
has been spent.
---
Anderson said Gov. George Docking's administration now needs another $17 million in tax money.
"A new look has been presented in the 'fiscal sanity' picture that Gov. Docking has painted for the people of Kansas," Anderson said.
"It is already fairly well recognized that the present administration has spent $84 million more in the last year for government services than was spent under the last Republican administration. This constitutes an increase of 34 per cent in cost of government for a year.
"Now it appears from the budget requests presented by state boards, agencies and commissions, all appointed and under the administrative control of Gov. Docking, that the surplus in state funds about which Gov. Docking complained would all be spent and an additional $17 million in new taxes would be required."
Anderson said it is not surprising
Alumnus to Write Editorials for Eagle
Alan Jones, class of '59, has been hired as editorial writer for the Wichita Eagle.
He replaces Clarke Thomas, who is now editorial writer for the Daily Oklahoman.
Mr. Jones was editorial editor of the Daily Kansan and won the William Allen White Foundation prize for editorials at the Kansan Board dinner in the spring of 1959.
Mr. Jones was previously employed by the Emporia Gazette.
Wenger Gets Grant For Cancer Study
Byron S. Wenger, associate professor of anatomy, has received a $18,633 grant renewal from the U.S. Public Health Service.
He is conducting research on the chemical and metabolical processes in embryonic differentiation that underlie the understanding of cancer development. The research will also lead to a better understanding of nervous disorders.
Gwendolyn Freeman, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, and Ann Meeker, research assistant in the department of anatomy, will work with Prof. Wenger.
Research Psychiatrist to Talk
Mrs. Ruth Hartley, research psychiatrist, will speak on "Some Problems and Some Results From Current Sex-Role Research" at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Summerfield Auditorium.
Docking has "put his arms around" Sen. John F. Kennedy and is asking the people to send a Democratic legislature to the state house.
He said recent remarks by Docking that when he took over the state government in 1957 the state was $10 million in debt and now is $10 million in the black through his efforts are not true.
"The state has not been in debt since World War I when bonus bonds were voted and the constitution prohibits such a debt," Anderson said.
TOPEKA —(UPI)— Frank Theis, Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, said here last night his opponent was attempting to cover his own position by stating that some Democrats placed themselves in a conflict of interest.
---
Theis said Sen, Andrew Schoeppel, R-Kan., feels that if other "senators still are practicing law, so why shouldn't be."
"The answer which could be given by any sixth-grade civics student, and which should be obvious to any active member of a major law firm such as yourself." Theis said in addressing his remark to Schoeppel, "is that two wrongs do not make a right."
"In addition, your case is exaggerated beyond any facts you have submitted on those other senators.
"It is exaggerated." Theis said, "Because there is no evidence that these senators sued the United States Government, which they are supposed to defend, in 21 cases in one term of court."
Theis said neither was there evidence that "large special interest groups flock to these other senators' law firms" when they receive committee appointments.
Earlier yesterday, he compared the rumored suppression of a survey on American prestige abroad with practices employed by Schoeppel.

KU Groups Plan Election Talks
Politics will prevail on campus next week. The Political Activities Council is sponsoring a series of programs on politics, Political Periscope, starting Thursday and ending Nov. 8.
The council is composed of the KU-Y, KU Young Democrats and Young Republicans, SUA, Vox Populi and the University Party, and Pi Sigma Alpha (honorary political science fraternity). It is financed by students.
"IT IS NOT A NATIONAL but a KU program," said Earl A. Nehring, instructor of political science.
"This is the third time such a week has been held at KU. The others took place during the general elections of 1956 and 1958. The programs will consist of forum sessions to discuss current election issues and will end with an election party."
DAVID SUTHERLAND, Baton Rouge, La., senior, and a member of the KU-Y Cabinet, said that the purpose of Political Periscope week was to encourage students to participate in politics, and to get them interested in national affairs.
Letters have been sent to the various houses to see if they would like to have individual speakers during the week, he said.
THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION connected with the Political Activities Council is Citizens Clearing House. This organization was founded by Arthur Vanderbilt, former Chief Justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, for the purpose of stimulating interest in politics.
Rhoten Smith, former KU associate professor of political science, became the national director of Citizens Clearing House in 1958. Ethan P. Allen, professor of political science, is the director of the Kansas-Missouri Regional Affiliate which has its headquarters at KU. John G. Grumm, assistant professor in political science, is the associate director.
"THE CITIZENS Clearing House is supported by a number of foundations including the Ford Foundation. This organization has encouraged such activities as regional workshops in practical politics, meetings with professional politicians and public office holders, and field research."
Mr. Nehring said:
