The talks between Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Anatoly Dobrynin, the Soviet ambassador to the United States, are understood to go beyond a ceasefire itself to cover an over-all settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Bills to protect auto repair customers
and tenants were approved by committee.
As finally approved Tuesday by a special interim legislative committee in Topeka, the landlord-tenant proposal would: 1) Limit security deposits required of tenants to no more than one month's rent. 2) Prohibit retaliatory evictions. 3) Establish a "self-shelp" system for tenants to get needed repairs.
State Sen. Pla Hess, R-Wichita, committee chairman and a KU law student, said the last provision would probably evoke the most opposition to
the bill.
The auto repair measure would allow customers who received a voluntary written estimate of the cost of repairs to keep the actual cost within 10 per cent of the estimate.
Cities varying from clean air standards will be studied for impact of pollution levels.
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare report that any variances granted by the Environmental Protection Agency from health-protecting sulfur oxide standards would offer an opportunity for doctors to observe the impact of rising pollution levels on public health.
The report urged studies for 10 or 15 years on children, adults and "special risk groups" in areas receiving such variances.

United States' reserve of wheat could be wiped out, even with a record crop year.
The country's reserve of wheat could be wiped out entirely by rising export demand, according to reports by the Agriculture Department. Export orders also are continuing to drain reserves of corn and soybeans, commodities essential for more livestock production in 1974.
Although some of the figures used by the department are in disagreement, they point toward another record export season for U.S. farm goods.

In Kuwait, an organization of Arab oil-producing countries announced it had decided to cut oil production by not less than 20%. It also said that each cent per each succeeding month until Israel withdrew from occupied Arab lands and Palestinian refugees' rights were restored.
Israel's chief of staff and leader of Tel Aviv its armies, Lt. Gen. David Elazar, said Israel's main effort was now concentrated against the Egyptians.
The Israeli state radio's top commentator, former army intelligence chief Maj. Gen. Haim Haim, called the Suez crisis an armored clash in our military history."
"WE ARE now initiating the attacks on both sides of the Suez Canal," he said.
The Israeli command said "large-scale armored battles" raged in the central area.
Elazar didn't indicate whether assaults by Tel Aviv forces on the west bank involved him. The counter-attack coincided Tuesday had crossed the waterway to operate in Egypt proper.
Another military spokesman said yesterday that the task force, whose size has not been specified, "continues to operate in Egypt proper."
IN CAIRO, Gen. Izettin Mukkart said over television that an Israeli task force operating on the west bank of the canal had been destroyed.
An Israeli military spokesman said in Tel
that the tactical force "had encountered
the Israeli forces."
"It has tried to destroy them and has succeeded," he said.
President Nixon met at the White House with four Arab foreign ministers dispatched
from U.N. duty to Washington to discuss American military aid to Israel.
Nixon acknowledged afterward that the four, from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Algeria, differed with American policy in the Middle East. But he expressed confidence that "a fair and just and peaceful country can end the war, now 12 days old."
King Hussein of Jordan said the future of the Middle East would be shaped by the outcome of the conflict. It is the fourth war in the Israeli war since the birth of Israel in 1948.
"We may still be very far from peace . . .
yet we may be very close to it," he told
public statements after fighting broke on.
"I BELIEVE very strongly that Israel is now in a position to make up her mind, and I am confident that I can do it."
Hussein, the 37-year-old monarch who lost much of his kingdom including East Africa and Syria, has come under heavy pressure from other Arab nations to enter the war full-scale and turn his 250-mile border with Israel into one of its largest energy fires from the Syria and the Sinai.

Arabs to Cut Oil Progressively Until Israelis Return Seized Land

A group of Arab oil-producing countries announced that they would cut oil production by a minimum of 5 per cent immediately and by an additional 5 per cent each succeeding year. The country also restated Arab territory and restored Palestinian refugees' rights.
The Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries took the action at a meeting in Kuwait to determine how to use Iranian oil to fuel Iraq and its supporters in the Middle East war.

Nixon said afterward that although there were differences between the Arabs and the United States, he believed that a fair, just and peaceful settlement could be reached in the region.
THE U.S. HOUSE of Representatives, meanwhile, passed an across-the-board mandatory fuel allocation bill which would limit Nixon's Nixon administration's limited program.

Sirica Rejects Senate Watergate Suit
WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ruled yesterday that the Senate Watergate committee had no authority to sue President Richard Nixon for presidential conversations.
Meanwhile, three corporations that have admitted making illegal contributions to President Nixon's re-election campaign pleaded guilty to misdemeasure violations of the law.
Two court decisions have affirmed the special prosecutor's argument that the President must give the tapes to a federal grand jury investigating the scandal.
However, Sirica said the Watergate committee had failed to get congressional authority to use the President. A committee would decide the decision probably would be appealed.
U. S. District Court Judge John J. Sierica's dismissal of the committee's civil suit marked the first legal victory for the President in his battle with towithold the tapes from the committee and the special Watergate prosecutor, Archibald Cox.
In A BRIEF order, Sirica said the court lacked jurisdiction in the tapes suit, supporting an argument made by the White House in its opposition to the committee's
"No jurisdictional statute known to the court, including the four which plaintiffs name, warrants an assumption of jurisdiction, and the court is therefore left with no alternative here but to dismiss the action." Siraca said.
Sirica's decision followed by less than a week a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling that upheld his earlier order in the case involving nine tape subpoenaed by Cox.
Quadagno Stresses Professionalism
Editor's note—This is one of a series of profiles of the 10 semi-finals for the 1973 HOPE award. The field will be narrowed to five finalists. Nov. 4 at a recognition banquet. Final voting will be Nov. 6 and 7, and the award will be presented Nov. 10 during halftime of the KU-Colorado football game.

Quadagro is a professor of physiology and cell biology. This year is the second time in his four years of teaching human anatomy that he has been nominated for the HOPE Award.
Quadagno, 32 years old, came to KU in 1970 from UCLA where he was a post-doorbell research fellow at the UCLA Medical School Brain Research Institute.
"I'd like to think the course was selected for the award because of its content, organization and presentation," he says.

But much of the credit for the course's
success, he says, should be given to his teaching staff.
Quadagano the staff consists of three teaching assistants who instruct lab sessions and an assistant instructor who alternates with Quadagno in giving class questions.
"I really have to give the teaching assistants super credit," he says. "These guys are picked, and they share my philosophy in teaching."
QUADAGNO SAYS the structure of his human anatomy course is the reverse of most college courses that have a lab session. The lecture is an extension of the lab, he says, rather than the lab an extension of the lecture.
Slides are shown at each lecture to
"The course is super-well organized." says an assistant instructor, John Hough. "I like the book because it shows me how to teach."

"ONLY ONE girl had a little trouble this semester. But she got used to it, she's okay now."
Despite cracking plaster and a leaking roof in the lab, the instructors strive for a highly professional attitude in the lab, Quadagno says.

Prof. Quadagno Sees Tenure, Parking as Crucial KU Problems
WITH ONLY THREE teaching assistants in the lab, the student-teacher ratio is 38 to 1. Ideally, it should be no more than 20 to 1, Quadardo says.
Quadragon has to fight the ubiquitous problems of scarce funds and small staffs.
His class has 148 students but only five cadavers. Funds were too scarce to buy any more. Last semester the class had seven cadavers.
Quadragan received his Ph.D. in endocrinology and psychology in 1989 from the University of California, Los Angeles.
Besides teaching, he is currently involved in three major research projects.
He received a research grant in 1970 for $48,000 from the National Institute of Mental
"That's peanuts compared to what guys got in the old days." Quadagmo says.
The grant will support a three-year project to study the effect of perinatal gonadal hormones on later reproductive functions and behavior in the adult.
"One can manipulate adult sexual behavior and reproductive functions by gonadal hormone administration around the time of birth." be says.
Quadragno is also studying the action of estrogen through the use of antibiotics placed in the brain. A grant from the US Department of Health will support the project is still pending.
HSIS THIRD major project will be a study of effect of isolation on later adult behavior.
Quadruguo says he enjoins his position here because he optimistically about Chancellor Archiloe Clerch.
"One of the first things he (Dykes) has to do is get the nonnested business ironed out," he says. "The situation where nonnested business is not an issue, the one that I don't like about KU."
Quadagno says the termination of non-tenured faculty members is the most serious problem facing KU. Factory managers who are not nontenured faculty members, he says.
"The young professors who are not imminent to teach, do research and implementative."

In that case Sirica ordered the President to give him the tape to hear in private so he could determine the validity of Nixon's claim that they must be kept secret.
The President is expected to carry his appeal in that case to the Supreme Court. He has until tomorrow to ask the Supreme Court to review the case.

American Airlines entered a guilty plea and was fined $ 5,000.
THE CHARGES all said three companies had made contributions in March 1972, which had been listed as coming from corporate executives. The money, which actually came from corporate funds, later became President's campaign finance committee.
The companies and their executives were charged with violating a federal law that prohibits campaign contributions from corporate funds.
The amounts listed in the charges were $55,000 from American, $40,000 from Goodyear and $30,000 from Minnesota Mining.
The bill, opposed by the administration, would not solve the energy crisis, but would spread the expected shortage of petroleum fuels evenly, its supporters said.
The Washington action came amid reports of increased fighting in the Middle East, accelerating U.S. efforts to resupply the Arab world. But the effects of an Arab production cutback.
The war's impact on an already worrisome energy situation depends on whether—and how much—the Arab oil pipeline will punish Washington for supporting Israel.
Current figures show that Arab oil accounts for about 1.1 million barrels a day of U.S. daily consumption. It is highly unlikely that the Arab nations ever would act in unison to cut off all of that. But even what might be lost in today's circumstances.
WESTERN THIRST for oil rises so simply and rapidly that available statistics are extremely low.
But it could easily happen that measures to conserve energy would require rapid and burdensome rationing for the U.S. public, sav industry experts.
Several days ago William E. Simon, chairman of the President's Oil Policy Committee, said that if the United States was willing to make an all-out conservation effort it could cut consumption by as much as three million barrels a day.
John Lichtbaum, an oil economist with the Petroleum Industry Research Foundation, agreed that the saving could be made, but it could be done only with severe rationing.
The oil story is complicated
In the 1967 Arab-Israeli war the Arabs declared an embargo, but it had little impact because the United States didn't need Arab oil then.
Arab producers don't want to shut off their oil incomes. Even a temporary ban on drilling in the Persian Gulf which their contributions help finance. A selective embargo seeking to shut off exports to the United States wouldn't work, but the embargo could put the oil to the United States anyway.
TODAY THERE is no spare production capacity in the United States to speak of, or
to use.
The most likely action lies in slowdown of production or refusal to step it up to meet overgrowing needs. Japan would feel the impact quickly, relying as it does on Middle East imports. So would Western Europe a market for 50 per cent of the Arab oil. In turn, pressures would increase on available non-Arab oil supplies.
University Employes Pick Local 1132 Representation
By CRAIG STOCK
Kansan Staff Reporter
The election was conducted to determine whether the employees would be represented by Local No. 1132, by the Kansas Public Employees (KAPE) or by neither.
Maintenance and service employees at the University of Kansas voted last night to be represented by Public Service Employees Local 1132 in future labor negotiations
Phil Rankin, official observer for KU, the employer, said the employees had cast 157 votes for Local No. 1132, 99 votes for KAPE and 41 votes for no representation.
"This doesn't mean that it is mandatory
to employ them to Join Local N. 1323,
Randall."
Rankin said the 297 employees who had voted comprised 75 per cent of the workers eligible to vote. A minimum of 80 was necessary, or was necessary for the selection of a union, he said.
Rankin was appointed as official observer by Keith Nixon's vice chancellor for
Lloyd Rose, business manager for Local
No. 1132, said he wasn't surprised at the result of the election.
"We're pleased that the employees have chosen to have us represent them," he said.
"We anticipated they would pick a bona fide labor union," Rose said. "I think the system is good."
Rose said the union would begin preparations for negotiating with the University by finding out what the employees wanted.
Robert Evans, president of the KU chapter of KAPE, said the election's result was especially disappointing because it showed that a majority of employees as supporters.
"I feel that there was one group that 'i wasn't properly informed, and that this was not a problem."
Although KAPE failed to win the election, Evans said. KAPE will continue to lobby actively in the state legislature for all state employees, including KU workers.
Nitcher said the University would work within legal guidelines in its negotiations with Local No. 1132. KU maintained an official position of neutrality in the election, Nitcher said, and had no preference for either union.
