HHH has problems Declares HHH must resign
TOPEKA-Hubert H. Humphrey should resign the Vice-Presidency to avoid a Democratic loss in November, Robert Swan, Democratic candidate for Congress from the Kansas second district, declared yesterday.
In prepared remarks released here, Swan said he was convinced "only as a free and unfettered agent can Hubert H. Humphrey speak the true convictions of his mind."
"Nothing could be clearer than that Lyndon B. Johnson is going to force his disastrous policies upon Vice President Humphrey and betray . . . [him]," Swan said.
He also aaid Humphrey had been "arrogantly rebuffed" by Johnson whenever he had tried to deviate from the President's policies.
Swan characterized Johnson as a "President who has led his people to the worst political and military disaster in their history."
Swan said "the only way Mr. Humphrey and the Democratic party can win the election, and regain the confidence of the American people ... is to ... give emphatic evidence to all Americans to his deep commitment to peace in Vietnam."
Humphrey's resignation would give such evidence, he said.
CPA exam review begins Oct. 5
Review sessions, conducted by Sherwood Newton of the Business School, for the national Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examination will be held on Saturdays Oct. 5 to Nov. 2. The sessions will run from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m.
He also said he felt Humphrey is torn between his loyalty to Johnson and "his equal dedication to peace and truth."
Johnson, Swan said, seems to be heat on ruining Humphrey.
Johnson, Swan said, seems to be bent on ruining Humphrey. Swan read the statement at a press conference at the Park Plaza Hotel in St. Louis yesterday. The press conference was held in conjunction with the Democratic National Committee regional task force meeting held there.
Pooh-poohs Humphrey's resignation
ST. LOUIS (UPI) -Rep Thomas Wright, D-Tex., said Wednesday he thinks the proposal that Hubert H. Humphrey resign as Vice President to further his campaign is "silly."
"I don't think Humphrey's ties to the Johnson administration are a drag on his campaign."
Wright appeared at a news conference in connection with a 6-state campaign workshop conducted by the Democratic National Committee.
Wright said Humphrey "has been talking from the head and the heart and not reading his speeches from a piece of paper, as does his opponent, Richard Nixon."
The suggestion that Humphrey resign had been made earlier by several politicians and was renewed at the St. Louis workshop by Robert Swan, Democratic candidate for Congress in Kansas's second district.

Bob Kolar, Cedar Rapids sophomore, and CYD president said yesterday the organization has made the following resolution "The University of Kansas Collegiate Young Democrats unanimously support Hubert Humphrey and will help the Citizens for Humphrey organization in any way possible, but the club feels that for best interests of the party in 1968 the CYD will work for state candidates thereby focusing their strength on state prospects.
Kolar denied a rift had developed between the CYD and the Citizens for Humphrey organization. "There is no split between the Democrats in Kansas," he said.
Mike Dickeson, Atchison junior and chairman of the Citizens for Humphrey organization, agreed saying, "We're trying to eliminate duplication."
Graduate Council dissolved, replaced
The Graduate Council has been dissolved and replaced with four area committees reporting to a Graduate School Executive Committee.
This resulted from a decision made in May by the Graduate Faculty.
"This change was made so there would be better representation on the Graduate Council," said Louise Byrd, secretary to the Graduate Council. "Previously there weren't enough members to represent each area."
The four committees, now in the process of being formed, are divided as follows: Area I—Hu
manities and Fine Arts, 23 faculty members; Area II—Social and Behavioral Sciences, Business, Education and Journalism, 16 members; Area III—Health Sciences and Nursing, 9 members; Area IV—Biological, Mathematical, Physical Sciences and Engineering, 24 members.
Mrs. Byrd said there will be two representatives from each of the four areas on the Executive Committee, plus the dean of the Graduate School and the four associate deans.
