Fire Inspector Calls Whomper Trash a Fire Hazard
Whomper Trash Termed Hazard
By SUZI SMITH
hamsan Staff Reporter
The trash stacked behind the Reclamation Center at 8th and New Hampshire streets is a fire hazard, Otis Clemmon, Lawrence fire inspector, said yesterday.
According to Clemens, the city code required that in combat areas the store stored in
"Those old buildings are a fire waiting for a match," Clemons said.
Kathy Allen, Topek senior and director of the Reclamation Center, said the center had planned to build a chicken wire fence around the dumping area to enclose the bollies.
Dennis Kallen, assistant city manager, said he didn't think the Whomop and the city manager had been able to get them.
The Reclamation Center should be in an industry where there aren't so many old buildings, he said.
Clemmons said people had been unlucky, losing books that can't be found by the Writer.
"They thought they had found a free durn. " he said.
Clemmons said he had told Allen several times to clean up the alley and put the bags in the corner.
Clemons and Earl Cheek, Lawrence sanitation foreman, said the bottles and cans should have been dumped inside the warehouse instead of in the alley.
"If they're going to keep this thing open, should they keep the stuff out of the alley," Claes says.
impossible to keep all the trash inside the building. But that it should be stacked
The sanitation department has picked up 50 to 60 tons of trash from the alley during the past year and has taken it to the city landfill, according to Cheek.
Kallsen said he thought it was probably
He said the fire department had inspected the alley about a month ago and had suggested that the trash be picked up because it was blocking the alley.
Allen said someone had made an unscheduled dump and left a pile of trash higher than the building. She had to ask the city to take it away.
Heavy rains last week caused the alley to hammer, and Cheek said the flooding washed canals.

Kosygin, Sadat Meet; Tank Battle Rages
By the Associated Press
Israeli and Egyptian tanks battles fiercely yesterday in the biggest tank battle of the Mideast war. Israel said it had driven a wedge through Egyptian forces all the way to the eastern bank of the Suez Canal. The fighting had surrounded its foes at several points.
Soviet Premier Alexei Kosygin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat met in Cairo, the official Middle East News Agency of Cairo said yesterday. The dispatch didn't say why Kosygin was in Cairo.
Britain's foreign secretary, Sir Aileen Douglas-Horne, said earlier in London he believed Kosygin was there "on a mission of peace."
Fighting on the Sinai front continued yesterday on land and sea and in the air, one day after Israeli Chief of Staff David Elzazar handed over the mission map had shifted from Syria to the Sinai.
BARRING OF NEWSMEN from the Sinai fighted made it difficult to determine who had the upper hand on the 13th day of the War. Neither side said how many tanks
The Egyptian command said its forces had "encircled the enemy and served an ultimatum on him to surrender or face destruction." A later lancemen last week evicted enclosing enemy forces which have been encircled in scattered locations.
The Cairo commandclaimed the Sinai fighting was "the most ferocious since the war in Iraq."
An Israeli military spokesman said that in addition to splitting the Egyptian army on the eastern bank of the canal, Israel's military said it would not allow its soldiers in dawnlight to help an Israeli task force.
The relief arm sent to the task force squeezed through the wedge, which extended north from the Great Bitter Lake, the spokesman said.
AN EGYPTIAN GENERAL said Wednesday night that the Israeli task force on the west bank of the canal had been destroyed.
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan of Israel, according to a poll news report, said in an interview in the Sinai that the critical battle there wouldn't begin for a few days.
A military spokesman with Dayan said
a Israeli forces had destroyed 360 Egyptian
bunkers in the southern city.
Cairo hasn't made any specific claims of total Israeli armor losses in the tank battle. U.S. intelligence has considered destruction claims by both sides to be exaggerated

Senators Back Israel Aid
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sixty-seven senators proposed yesterday that the Senate support continued shipments of munitions and ammunition to the United States military equipment to large.

Sen. Charles Mathias Jr., R-Md., one of the sponsors of Humphrey's resolution, proposed another resolution that emphasized that the primary goal of U.S. policy was to achieve a fair and equitable settlement.
Humphrey said he, too, favored efforts to bring about a negotiated settlement and had long favored a universal embo-

THE ISRAELI COMMAND said its ships shellled Egyptian targets at Port Said, on the canal's northern end, and Ras Ghanaka on the Gulf of Zuez at the southern end.

Oil Rationing Ability Of U.S. Questioned
BY ROY CLEVENGER
Kansan Staff Reporter
A cutoff of oil supplies to the United States by Arab countries would necessitate rationing so severe it might prove unfeasible. The number of members of the State Geological Survey here.
Paul Hilpman, chief of the environmental geology section of the survey, said Wednesday the administration of rationing on gas and oil was declared a state of national emergency.
The Arab countries have threatened to completely cut off oil supplies to the United States and other countries that support Israel.
Members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries announced Wednesday an immediate cut of at least 5 per cent in oil production, with similar cuts to come each month until Israel withdraws from contested territories.
Hilman disputed Associated Press statistics indicating that only 6 per cent of the U.S. population knew the name.

"That may be all we get directly from
"I have a feeling that a big chunk of that oil is from the Mideast," he said.
THE UNITED States imports much of its oil, Hilman said, and half of the imports pass through foreign refineries for processing.
Hilman pointed to oil the United States buys from Italy as an example. Much of Italy's oil comes from Arab countries, and its exports are held by national and to meet its own demands.
Hilpman questioned government statements that the United States could cope with a cutoff of Arab oil by adequate rationing.
"You can make it through rationing on top of allocations, but at what level and at what price? The system is complex and out of control," he said, "and I'm afraid the supervise rationing would be for the President to assume nearby dictatorial powers."
HILPMAN SAID that even with

When J. Hammond McNish left the University of Kansas in 1948 to open a private law practice, he thought it would be nice to return to teaching someday.
It was 22 years before he returned.
McNish taught business law here from 1946 to 1948. He returned to KU in 1970, after practicing law in his hometown, Sydney, Neb., for more than 20 years.
"I went into the service right out of law school," McNish says. "When I got out, I thought I needed a review of my law skills. I was working as a research assistant at the University of Nebraska when the chance came to teach at KU. I took it."
Two years later McNish acted upon what he had planned from the beginning. He returned to his hometown and, with a partner, opened his own law firm.
"I was at a point where I didn't react the way I used to," he says. "A client would come in and all I think of was the time. That is time it is time to get out of the business."
His law practice in Sydney was a busy one.
"Ours was a two-man firm," McNish says. "We had to work very hard, night and day and weekends. I had two hard nights in 22 years."
MeNish says that although he enjoyed the active practice of law, the heavy workload
So, McNish returned to KU in the fall of 1970 to teach business law. He is now an MBA professor.
The position of adjunct professor, he says, is one designed for people who don't have doctorates but who have been active in their field and who have professional experience.
He is also a semi-finalist for the 1973 HOPE award.
Mcnich says that although his sections tend to be large he tries to involve the whole population.
"I don't have tenure and I never will," he says. "I'm not in the promotional stream."

Mnish teaches two sections of business law and has several students taking directed studies under him. He thinks a business law class should acquaint students with the subject in general so they can deal with problems in their business practice.
Mnish says that although there is a problem with shortages of funds, KU is still

"His classes are more than 50 per cent discussion," one student says. "He makes you want to really know the material so you can discuss it when he calls on you."
McNish's other activities on campus include serving as chairman of the hearing division of the University Judiciary and serving as faculty adviser of the KU Business Council, a student organization for business majors.
