Confused Gas Dealers Confront New Controls
By BILL WILLETS Kansan Staff Reporter
Phase 4 price controls were introduced to Lawrence gasoline dealers Saturday and apparently have had little effect on prices. The controls have contributed to an already confused atmosphere among service station owners.
Phase 4, a plan of the Cost of Living Council, imposes net profit ceiling of seven cents a gallon on gasoline prices, according to the Internal Revenue Service. A spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service said selling at a larger profit must reduce prices, and those selling for less profit may increase their prices. The IRS has formed a committee with questions on gasoline price controls.
The Cost of Living Council had predicted that Phase 4 would produce price reductions of one to three cents a gallon across the nation.
Bob Nitsach, owner of Bob's Guild Station at dick and iowa streets, said he didn't know where the building is.
"As far as I'm concerned there will be no change of more than a half cent or so," Nigel said.
Nilsch said his station had been operating on a seven-cent profit margin, which was the same as its previous year.
Warren Banning, a Lawrence Gulf gasoline distribution, said he knew little about the problem.
"We were under the assumption that we had to post ceiling prices," he said Thursday. "I picked up the necessary stickers at the post office today."
Phase 4 requires price ceiling and octane ratings to be posted on each gasoline pump.

Bailey said the stabilization department of the IRS had been swamped with calls from service station owners with questions about the new policy.
Dave Wilson, manager of Hillcrest Standard Service, 914 Iowa St., said prices
would increase as soon as approval was received. Wilson said his station pumped 60,000 gallons of gasoline a month—one of the highest volumes in town.
"With what we're making on gasoline now," he said, "we're only breaking even." Wilson said he expected a court decision Sept. 17 to resolve the price issue.
"Prices will go up if they remove the controls," he said. "I'll assure you that if they allow it we'll go up at least a penny." More confusion existed as to the meaning
Wilson said the ceiling applied to gross profits and it was difficult to decide what
"Most service station operators are not lawyers." he said.
Another station owner said he was waiting for guidance from his regional office. He was aware of the new posting rules and that not of any increases in gasoline prices.
K-State Canoes Glide Past KU
Kansas State University is the king of the Kaw River—at least in canoeing.
the best of the University of Kansas could muster in the two schools' annual Manhattan to Lawrence race last week when a crew from Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
The 15 KU entries were struggle up overpriver when the winnow canoe and then five more from K-State, crossed the finish line west of the Kaw River Bridge about 4 p.m.
Haymaker No. 4, the winning K-State canoe was never seriously challenged throughout the two-day race. Nine men and six women operated the canoe.
Kevin Connelly, captain of the Haymaker team, said his team's victory and two-day time of 15 hours and $8 minutes could be a work, organization and preach strategy.
Retired Professor Dies
"The rain was bad," he said, "but the team handled it really well."
Tony Procaiccin, Olathe senior and KU race chairman, said the race was successful.

She also helped found the Poetry Society of Kansas and the P Lamble Theta honorary society for teachers and was the first president of both groups.
In 1956, Miss Hoopes told members attending the 40th anniversary observance of theGamma Phi Beta sorority, "My life was just one freshman theme after another. And now it is just one letter after another. Letters from soldiers in three world wars
all the happy letters and some sad letters. But all filled with such love as to blot out, or to blur at least, the memory of all those interminable freshman themes."
After her retirement, Miss Hopes lived on Mississippi Street where she wrote and collected miniature doll furnishings, Chinese stuff boxes and Shakespearean volumes.
The only mishap of the race occurred Friday when a car towing a trailer loaded with six canoes of KU teams was in an accident on the way to Manhattan. There were no injuries, but two canoes were destroyed.

From Page One
"One of my most treasured possessions is the letter to me by President Eisenhower in March of 1967 as I prepared to enter political life." Percy said. "Krew wrote, 'Oooh, you will continue to be your own man... and that in politics is of unusual importance.'"
Although Percy attempted to identify with the Republican party, he separated with the Democrats.
Percy said the sentiment of the common people as well as of party regulars should be considered in choosing a presidential nominee.
"In 1952, Percy said, "the choice of the Republican party regulars to be their people is one that was not the people who wanted Died Eisenhower. So the party regulars, realizing the whole purpose for a political party is to get people in office, nominated Eisenhower. And Ike won."
"Whether I become a candidate depends on three things," he said. "First, I must know how much I feel qualified to solve them. Second, whether I think I might be able to win the election. And third, my relationship is compatible with the wishes of my family."
Any definite announcement of Percy's candidacy must wait until late 1974, he
