Connally Telling Little of'76 Plans
OVERLAND PARK—John Connally, former governor of Texas and possible 1976 presidential candidate, was tight-tipped with reporters Saturday night about his political effort and the investigation of Vice President Agnew.
Connally, also a former economic adviser to President Nixon, was the guest speaker here at a $80-a-lap fund raising dinner for Sen. Robert Dole. R-Kan.
Connally told reporters on the dinner that he wouldn't comment on the origin of press leaks related to the Agnew incumbency "to develop any idea of conspiracy."
"I don't want to comment. The vice president was indicated by anyone or a person with authority with an office."
He said that he realized the press hadn't originated the information about the investigation but that Agnew had been damaged by it.
"I THINK THE VICEAPOD has been damaged and his rights seriously eroded."
Connally said he wouldn't start thinking about running for the presidency for president.
"I'll make a decision in two years probably, and those are light years," he said. "Two years can be an eon in our time."
McDill "Huck" Boyd, Basketball Republican national committeeman, said he believed that the approximately 1,400 people who attended dinner were there to "look for" him.
Boyd said he didn't think Connally's move from the Democratic to the Republican party would hurt his chances for the 1976 pimpination.
"His philosophy is pretty sound," Boyd said. "If he fits the time and place, I don't think there will be any reaction because he came from the Democratic party.
"We're the party of open door, I'm happy to see new people."
CONNALLY JOKED about being a newcomer to the Republican party.
"Every now and then, you old tutors in the Republican party ought to listen to us"
*Aldo L. Rodriguez*
He questioned whether Republicans should feel responsible for Watergate and said they shouldn't assume burdens that weren't rightfully theirs.
Connolly called Dole one of the nation's greatest assets in the Senate.
One young Republican said the conference had been cancelled because Connolly didn't want to comment on the speech Agnew had made earlier in the day.
Connally didn't mention the Agnew investigation or the 1978 GOP nomination during his speech. A press conference before for the dinner was cancelled.
"I want you folks here in Kansas to know that he will be a powerful influence on your
Federal Loans to Go To Disaster Areas
TOPEKA (AP)—The Farmers Home Administration will make emergency loans in all Kansas counties designated disaster areas after last week's tornadoes and floods. FHA Director Morgan Williams said yesterday.
The state FHA will participate with the Federal Disaster Assistance Administration in setting up field offices at the disaster sites and providing eligible counties and providing assistance.
Williams said the FHA could make emergency loans to restore disrupted farm operations. Applicants must have had a qualifying loss from the灾asters and be unable to get local assistance. The interest rate is 5 per cent.
The meeting was called by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to elect a committee to review the situation.
Potawatomi Election Postponed
Confusion Clouds Constitutional Issue, Mediator Savs
HOLTON—A meeting Saturday of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Indians was stopped when a mediator, brought in to conduct the meeting, announced that a planned election wouldn't be fair and impartial under prevailing conditions.
By DEBBY CONNOR Kansan Staff Reporter
The mediator, William Lincoln, a representative of the National Center for Education in Association, a nonprofit private organization in Washington, D.C., said a fair election would be impossible because involved were confused about the issue.
"An election now would only bring it agraviation," Lincoln said in a statement on Wednesday.

LINCOLN SAID that if the BIA wished to continue with the election that day, his organization would run it. But he said an immediate election would be against the welcoming of all cities involved. A BIA meeting of all cities involved. No new meeting was scheduled.
The Potawatomi had protested the meeting, saying that it wasn't conducted on reservation land and that a workable tribal government was already in existence.
In a statement read at a press conference Sept. 19 at KU, Potawatomi representatives asked Russell Means, American Indian leader and supporter of their protest of Saturday's meeting.
Means attended the meeting but took no part other than to play a drum and chant
with some of the Potawatomi before the meeting.
"I CAME HERE because I was asked by members of the tribe to support their cause." Means said. "I think it is true for me, but it's not true for you." The order the BIA to do whatever is necessary."

Lester Jessepe, chairman of the Prairie Land Potawatomi, said he was engaged by the prairie people.
"I think negotiations can be made and we can come to an understanding on this."
Lincoln said he thought the election was routine, but he also said that a long-standing dispute couldn't be totally resolved by an election.
He said that he planned to file a complete report on the situation with his organization in Washington and that he hoped the group could help work out some of the differences.
Connolly spoke of the Watergate scandals only once during his speech.
