County's liquor petition drive called successful by organizer
A petition drive to place the liquor-by-the-drink issue before Douglas County voters Nov. 7 appears to be successful, Jes Santauriad, head of the drive, said Monday.
Santalura, owner of the Eldridge House Dining Room and Club, Seventh and Massachusetts streets, said the drive had exceeded the 1,536 signatures required to put the building on a public question book or the two signatures He said there were about 2,028 signatures on the petitions.
However, he said, about 3,000 signatures were needed because many names probably would be scratched from the petition when it goes to the county clerk Sept. 7 for review. The names are not registered as voters in the county, or people who have changed their addresses.
LAST SPRING, the Kansas Legislature voted to allow liquor-by-the-drink in restaurants by county authority if at least 50 percent of its establishment's revenues come from food sales.
However, the Kansas Supreme Court now is reviewing the constitutionality of the law. If the Court rules against the law, then no matter how the state can legislate liquor by-the-drink.
Santalaria said a blitz to obtain more signatures would take place this Saturday at local shopping centers. He said there also were plans to get more names during
enrollment at the University of Kansas this week.
The drive was started July 10 and has the support of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, as well as many local restaurants, liquor stores and small
SANTAULARIA STARTED the drive as a personal effort to put the issue on the ballot. He said the city was hurt by the ban against liquor-by-the-drink. Conventions that could be attracted to Lawrence are held in Kansas City and consequently sales and profits by stores and stores were lost, Santaularia said.
"We are at a disadvantage because we can't serve liquor-by-the-drink," Santauraia said. "We think it's time for the Santa Monica County to become first-class citizens."
Santaluaria is optimistic the issue will make the bailout and will be passed by the government.
Glenn West, executive vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, said the organization was assisting the drive team and warranted the voters to decide for themselves.
West said Douglas County had only one opportunity to legalize liquor-by-the-drink, according to the state law passed in the spring.
Hanoi offers to ease strained ties
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnamese officials, declaring their country was not a "tool" of Moscow or Peking, told visiting officials that they were eager for full relations with America.
One of the steps they took toward that goal was a promise to return the remains of 11 more U.S. servicemen killed in the Vietnam War.
A Hanoi official also accepted an invitation to visit the United States, and the Communist government reportedly is in support for war reparations from Washington.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ngho Diem told American reporters accompanying the U. delegation that the Chinese were trying to get "everyone around them to follow their line," but that "we are not tools of any country, including the Soviet Union."
Premier Pharm Van Dong met privately with the eight congressmen, led by Rep.
Sources said the Vietnamese leader had told the Americans his country was dropping its demand for reparations. Hanoi had two payments as a precondition for diplomatic ties.
Both Dong and Vice Foreign Minister Phan Hien were invited to visit the United States, and Montgomery said Hien accepted.
ONE CONGRESSMAN, who asked not to be identified, said of the talks: "They exchanged pleasanties, but they just want us on their side against the Chinese. That's the
Vietnamese-Chinese relations are becoming increasingly hostile because of Hano's border war with Peking-backed Cambodia and because of the flight of Chinese residents from what Peking calls official persecution in Vietnam. This move has more closely allied with the Russians since the end of the war three years ago.
THE VISITING congressmen are expected to pick up the 11 servicemen's remains Saturday in Hanoi after visiting Chih Minh City, formerly Sanction, and the North Vietnam (Venture), where an effort also will be made to provide for soldiers missing in action.
In Washington, meanwhile, members of a Senate mission that recently visited Vietnam urged that the United States give Hanoi food, medical supplies and other aid. The group also urged lifting of the trade embargo imposed on Vietnam in 1976.
About 2,500 Americans were unaccounted for as a result of the war, but all except 355 are listed as dead with their bodies not recovered.
Montgomery said he thought there were no Americans left alive in Indochina, but Rep. Sam G. Hall, D-Texas, said he had a "gut feeling somebody might still turn up."

Under Lewis's supervision, students test the beer they brew, as well as commercial beer, for color, bitterness and raw materials.
IT TAKES from six weeks to more than four months to brew beer. Beer is usually
aged for one to three months at the Davis laboratory.
"Each beer is right for an occasion," Lewis said. "If you're thirsty after mowing the lawn on a hot day, a light beer will help dry the dryness without weighing you down."
Although Lewis deals with the refined techniques of brewing, he has a few recommendations for the beer-drinking public.
A heavier beer, one that is darker and higher in alcohol content, would be suitable for "bitting around when you canitate on what your mouth is doing," he said.
LEWIS SAID the fermentation laboratory at the university in the only such facility on a college campus in the Western Hemisphere.
Class enrollment has increased steadily to its present number of about 70 students. Lewis said university officials had supported the program, which also has financial backing from the brewing industry.
Although wine is thought to be an upper class beer, he said, beer is viewed as the working man's drink, a beverage for the less affluent.
"But that's not necessarily a valid image," Lewis said.
IN THE past, beer has had an inferior image because it was less expensive than wine, according to Doug Muhleman, a research assistant.
