Bonds Required to Improve Airport

The success of a proposed $2.5 million construction and expansion project at the Lawrence Municipal Airport will depend on the support of Lawrence citizens, according to Bill Randall, airport operator and manager.
The project would provide long runways, a secure terminal and additional hangar facilities.
A total of $187,050, or 75 per cent, of the estimated cost of the project, would be paid by the government.
The other 25 per cent, as estimated $625,000, would be paid locally through the issuance of city bonds. The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce aviation committee is currently conducting a drive promoting the bond election.
The runway at the airport is 3,000 feet long, Randall said. For single-engine planes the runway length is adequate, but for twin-engine airplanes the length is risky, he said.
"The (twin engine planes) have to make the approach and landing just right, otherwise the runway isn't long enough for them."

and 16 per cent of commercial airlines.
than it requires to take off in, he said. A can land-heat but it cannot take off, he said.
"A good airport is one of the things they look for. If they're able to fly in their own airplane, say from Chicago, they're able to get here in two hours, have most of the day to take care of their business and be home for dinner that night."
The runway surface is gravel with a tar sealing, he said. As a result, pebbles come loose and nick the plane's propellers or scratch its paint.
MORE THAN 31,000 take-off and landing operations were recorded here last year, according to an airport survey conducted by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Air traffic at the airport has been steadily increasing every year, Randall said.
In addition to runway problems, the airport has insufficient hangar space and the administration buildings are old and leaky, according to Randall.
To promote the airport's expansion, there will be an air show Sunday. That day has been chosen for this year's event.

Fine Payment Required Before Appeal
A new policy that requires payment of traffic fines before an appeal can be filed has been instituted this semester in the Traffic and Security Department.
The new system requires that people deposit bond for the amount of the ticket required.
Mike Thomas, director of Security and Parking and a member of the KU Parking Board, said yesterday that the policy was designed by the board to reduce the backlog of parking ticket appeals in the KU traffic court.
"This process was designed after all other court systems," Thomas said. "Paying fines before the appeal amounts to posting bond."
"We're trying to get only reasonable and valid appeals. This process will discouraged those people who know they are guilty and appeal just to put off paying the fine."
The Parking Board devised the bond system in response to a request from court to find a way to reduce the large number of ticket appeals.
Economist Favors Pacific Area in Power Shift

PARIS-A redistribution of economic power in favor of the Pacific Ocean region will take place between now and the year 2000, French economist Jean Matouk predicts in the latest issue of the monthly business magazine L'Expansion.

Flanked by the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan and China, the Pacific Region seems likely to become as important as the Indian Ocean has been in the recent past, it is suggested.
His view is backed by American economist Herman Kahn, who says that communications will be the key to the reston's future.

The KU chapter of the Student Council for Exceptional Children will have a membership meeting at 7:30 p.m. today at the Sidewalk Pizza, 106 W. North Park St.
Matouk assumes that capitalism will not have collapsed in the next 30 years, although there will have been "nuclear clash."
A Eurosocialist blossom comprising the Union and East Europe, but not Xi Jinping.
ON THIS BASIS, he foresees four main economic blocs ahead:
He also predicts that the Indian zone and the Middle East "will not be satellite."
India and possibly Africa could be the "privileged ground for local conflicts."
Matsuko believes the world table of per capita income will look different in 2000. Japan could be ahead of the United States, followed closely by Western Europe. The Japanese government's birth record followed by Asia, South America, Africa, India and the Middle East.
HE ADDS: "Within the Australiasian bloc, Socialist Asia will in 2002 enter a mass consumption phase, even though its content may be very different from what we know in the west. Continental Asia will be on the threshold of an industrial phase. Asia will be more advanced, with its production directly centered on Japan.
"TO THE NORTH, the gigantic economic
Motukou also says: "The Pacific Ocean will be a zone of great change... The United States, spurred on by Japan, will push Latin America into the heart of the industrial phase. Japan and China will have brought many countries to the forefront of global trade. Europe will be unable to do this for an Africa still balkanized and wounded by tribal quarrels."
"But the Japanese economy will no longer experience today's growth rates. Growth will occur largely outside Japan itself. We can consider that around the year 2000 the United States, Japan and Western Europe will all be in a post-industrial phase."
cooperation beginning between the United States and Russia for the development of Siberia, will itself appear as a "Pacific phenomenon."
indonesia and the Philippines will have Japanese-equipped plants producing consumer goods for Japan itself and for other countries, particularly the Soviet Union and Latin America.
"By reason of the internal trade dynamism of the Australasian bloc and its trading with the Russians and Americans. The end of the 20th century will see a classical redistribution of economic power in favor of the Pacific region," he forecasts.
Kahn is cited by L'Explanation as noting the "nearness" of the American coast to Japan.
Japanese cars even today cost less to reach the east or west coast of the U.S. or the Gulf of Mexico than the cost of delivering cars from Detroit, Kahn says. Similarly the Japanese get coal from Alabama at less cost than Pittsburgh does.
However, people seem to lack confidence in the world maritime system, but those who have confidence "will be underpinning a world free trade system," Kahn says.
Supersonic air travel and telecommunications will also play their roll in making the Pacific "the big unifying force" in the world.

Milk Supplies Short in Kansas; High Feed, Cattle Prices Blamed
WICHTA (AP) — Kansas milk supplies are tight and getting tighter, two of the states with the biggest gaps yesterday. Both, however, expect plenty of milk to be available in coming months. Milk products such as cottage cheese, butter, ice cream and yogurt will also disappear from grocery shelves, they said.
The two producers, Associated Milk Producers, Inc. (AMPI) of Wichita, and Mid-America Dairymen, Inc. (MADI) of Sabeth, estimated they supplied about 95 per cent of the bottling milk marketed in Kansas.
Jim Moore, general manager of AMPI's southern division, said milk supplies were already tight and would be tightest during the first half of October.
AMPI pools milk from 20 states and about 40,000 dairymen. Moore said.
"You won't be any babies going hungry," Moore said, and there is "no question" that plenty of milk for "bodily needs" will be available.
ALTHOUGH THERE will be a milk shortage next month, he said he didn't expect a shortage that the consumer would recognize as a shortage.
Supplies will be uncomfortably close but adequate, Moore said.
Gene Marti, vice president and general manager of MADI Kansas division, agreed to lead the department.
MADI's milk pool covers 13 midwestern states and has about 20,000 dairymen members, including more than 2,000 in Kansas. Marti said.
The KU Christian Science College Organization will have its weekly testimonial service at 7:30 p.m. today in Danforth Chapel.
"I think we're going to get by all right," he said.
Milk allocations could begin, Marti said, with a priority on bottling milk—a product that will be used more frequently.
Such milk products as cottage cheese, butter, ice cream and cheddar cheese might be made with the following ingredients:
bottling milk, but Marti said he didn't expect them to become unavailable.
SOME MANUFACTURERS of milk products might possibly stop making certain products if supplies got tighter, he said.
Both the numbers of cows and milk production per cow have been dropping, Moore explained. He said production per cow had dropped because high feed prices had caused dairymen to cut back on the grass, especially protein made from sowbeans.
Milk production for Kansas was down
by about $1.0 million this year and about four
trillion dollars over the past decade.
Both milk products balmed higher feed and cattle prices for the shortage of milk.
Dairymen have many attractive alternatives to milking cows because of high feed and cattle prices, Marti said, and many have been selling out recently.
The 1973-74 Humanities Lecture Series will begin at 8 tonight in Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union, John Barth, novelist and professor of English and creative writing at Johns Hopkins University, will deliver the address.
"IF YOU CAN'T get anything out of them, you just milk them," he said, and high beef prices had caused farmers to sell more cattle or cut completely.
Moore described the number of dairy cows sold as "a whole warehouse of cows to customers."
Both producers said they thought milk production would be adequate this winter if conditions were stable.
Marti noted that processors had cooperated in paying the association more so dairynow could be paid the premiums. The Kaisas processors more, he said.
Both associations are paying premiums to dairymen in addition to the federally-regulated price that dairymen receive for their milk.
Moore said culled cattle have been sold
which otherwise might have been kept
kick, on the ground.
Moore said he thought premium payments were the answer to maintaining an adequate milk supply by giving enough money to pay higher feed costs.
"We're telling people 'don't sell out,'" he said.
"It's just like a lot of other agricultural products," Marti said. "The housewife will have to pay more across the whole spectrum. Dairy products are no different."
Premium payments would solve dairymen's higher operating expenses and slow the tide of dairymen leaving the business, Marti said.
"We'll be all right if feed prices level off and don't get higher," he said.

SHOOTING GALLERY A new approach to portrait photography
The only situation in which a ticket may be voided without posting the bond and filing an appeal is when there's been an attack, or was writing the ticket, according to Thomas.
Our portraits and portfolios are done on location—in fields, along country reads, in your home or anywhere you choose.
A Shooting Gallery portrait is personal—we want it to reflect YOUR OWN image.
"Sometimes an officer will forget to write down a license number or a location or make some other obvious error," he said. "If we make an obvious mistake, we'll void a ticket immediately and the student won't have to endure the process of appeal."
