Apollo enters final day
SPACE CENTER, Houston-The three Apollo 7 astronauts, irritable with itchy beards and running out of their favorite foods, hurtled into the final 24 hours of their flight today on the nation's 11-day shakedown cruise for manned moon orbit by Christmas.
The astronauts are scheduled to splash down in the western Atlantic at 6:12 a.m., CDT Tuesday, 4.5 million miles and 163 orbits around the earth since their launching from Cape Kennedy Oct. 11.
Today's major test was another planned blast of Apollo's engine. It will be 7.8-second "burn," the next to last test of the engine designed to lift the s ip into lunar orbit and kick it back toward earth again.
Conference cancelled
PARIS—North Vietnam today cancelled a regular news conference that might have indicated Hanoi's feelings about efforts to de-escalate the Vietnam War.
The North Vietnamese delegation to the 27-week-old talks here with the United States gave no reason for the sudden cancellation of its weekly Monday news briefing.
Gladys in shipping lanes
CAPE HATTERAS, N.C.-Hurricane Gladys, which claimed four lives and drove more than 76,000 persons from their homes in a multimillion dollar damage swath through Cuba and Florida, whirled across the New York to Europe shipping lanes today.
The season's seventh topical storm, no longer a threat to land, pushed its 85-mile- an-hour winds further into the open Atlantic.

'Beard' leaves West Hills
By CAROL SCHOENBECK Kansan Staff Writer
One of the West Hills "beards" has moved.
Steve Parker, Rochester, N.Y. junior, said goodbye to Wilbur Almquist, the apartment complex manager, Saturday when he and his roommate moved to a duplex on New Jersey Street.
as Bob Menadier, Kansas City sophomore, they would have to leave if they didn't shave their beards and mustaches. When they refused, Almquist ordered them out.
Parker's roommate, Bob Messman, Wichita senior, moved with Parker "on general principles."
Almquist had told Parker, as well
"He's being very noble," Parker said.
"We haven't really talked with Wilbur very much since he told us to leave. He has offered to let us use his truck for moving, and we only have to pay for the number of days that we've been here this month." Parker said.
to "the basics of government—taxation."
Harman, too, was concerned with taxation. The Republican candidate said that the way to implement tax reform is to elect Richard Nixon President and himself governor of Kansas. Harman said Nixon could return $100 million to the state of Kansas through tax agreements. Harman said he would bring a businessman's approach to state government by decreasing the number of people on the state payroll, among other things. He said that by creating fewer jobs, he would create better jobs.
Docking called for: "Leadership to remove from the tax laws provisions which force disproportionate taxes on the working man and woman." He said that unless meaningful tax reforms were passed soon, the state would be risking a taxaper's revolt.
Docking pointed to his own record of tax reforms through reciprocal agreements with the bordering states. These agreements, he said, eliminate the loopholes by which some people avoid paying taxes.

He said Almquist has actually been a little nicer to him since the eviction notice.
A man who identified himself as a member of the emerging Kansas Black Panther organization spent more than 20 minutes last night telling the participants of the University Christian Movement's white racism course "where it's at."
"The talkin's over," said Larry Green to the more than 200 persons assembled in the School of Religion auditorium. He spoke of the newly-formed coalition of the Panther group with Student Voice campus radical group.

Responding to Green's tirade, Jerry Streets, Ottawa University freshman, said that while he agreed with his position of reinforcing black identity, he was pleased to see the interest in studying the problem of white racism. Streets was one of seven Negroes who attended the lecture.

Green's comments were made during a question and answer period after a lecture on the psychology of racism presented by David Summers, assistant professor of psychology.
When the Rev. Thomas Rehorn, campus ministe of the Wesley Foundation, asked Green what he would have the audience do, the militant spokesman said he had no answer.

George Wallace, third party presidential candidate, could carry Wyandotte County, and might run ahead of Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey in some areas of Kansas, a poll of newspaper editors taken Saturday indicates.
Although the editors predict Republican victories in all races, the gubernatorial contest between Republican candidate Rick Harman and Democratic incumbent Robert Docking is anticipated by some to be a toss-up.
The poll was taken by The University Daily Kansan during Kansas Editors' Day activities in the Kansas Union.
GOP candidates were picked to win all races covered by the poll, including President, Governor of Kansas, U.S. Senator, all five Kansas Congressional seats, and the State Legislature.
Results did not vary significantly in any of the categories, with the exception of the Presidential race.
With two exceptions there were no apparent differences in either the predictions or personal preferences of weekly vs. daily editors, large circulation vs. small circulation papers, or in the opinions of editors from different geographic regions.
wallace was rated higher in Kansas City and southeastern Kansas than elsewhere, and the Harman-Docking race was termed "too close to call" by many editors.
The editors uniformly forecast a "Republican year" for the sate. GOP candidates were also the personal choices of most of the editors. Their papers have endorsed mostly Republicans, they indicated.
