President Requests That Bills Be Passed
By FRANK CORMIER Associated Press Reporter
WASHINGTON—Avoiding partisan rhetoric, President Nixon yesterday called for cooperation between Congress and the White House to blessings of peace into a better life for all."
In a taped radio address, Nixon said more than 50 major bills backed by the administration still await final congressional action.
While avoiding a repetition of his Wednesday news conference statement that this was "a very disappointing record" for the democratic-controlled Congress, Nikon did say;
In his radio talk, Nixon said the questions at issue "are not ones of partisanship . . . in some cases, there are real philosophical debates. how best to meet the needs that we face."
"It means that Congress should join the executive in making up for the precious time lost this year in failing to act on these measures that vitally affect every aspect of our business session, if necessary, to complete the people's business before the year ends."
"sufficient to safeguard us from attack and to provide an incentive" for mutual arms cuts, and restraint in spending so new programs would not mean higher prices and higher taxes.
Nixon also said Congress, the executive branch and the voters shared an interest in building better communities, making full use of human resources and "combatting the scourge of crime and drugs."
At no point did Nixon voice the veto threats that often have accompanied his
exhortations to Congress to hold down appropriations.
However, he made what appeared to be a reference to legislation that would limit a president's warmaking powers—a measure he would be expected to veto. He said:
"We must recognize that the American system requires both a strong Congress and a strong executive; and we therefore must not place limits on presidential powers that would jeopardize the capacity of the President, in this and in future administrations, to carry out his responsibilities to the American people."

Tenure Reports to Be Made Public

Cancellor Archie R. Dykes today was to
ask the chairmen of four committees
studying faculty tenure to release their
reports as soon as the reports are complete.
By BOB SIMISON Kansan Staff Reporter
The chairman said last night that they expected to make the reports available today, and none voiced any objections to releasing the reports.
Dykes was to issue a statement in response to a request Thursday by the University of Kansas Chapter of the American Association of University Professors that he urge the release of the reports.
The House begins the week by considering whether to cite G. Gordon Liddy, convicted Wateregale figure, for contempt because of his involvement with Armed Forces investigation subcommittee.
"This is a response to expressed faculty concern." Dykes said last night.
"I am today asking the chairpersons of
the committees not to hold the reports for me but rather to release them immediately upon completion for full and open public discussion." Dwks' statement says.
"Although it is important for the committee reports to be released for public information without delay," the statement says, "it is my belief that they should be informed of their responsibilities originally planned, first to the Faculty Senate Committee on Faculty Rights, Privileges and Responsibilities for editing and consolidation and then to the University Senate Executive Committee (SenEx) for communication and transmittal to this office with campus."
"Of course, the views of all members of University community will be welcomed and appreciated."

Percy said he hoped Watergate would be followed by a rejuvenation of spirit in the United States.
"Our party does not deserve to be the scapegoat of Watergate," he told a Republican audience at Century II auditorium. "As Republicans, we have an obligation to hold fast to the guiding principles of our party and to spread the word of the Constitution, until the party of the people and that it is, and always has been, a party of integrity."
"I am prepared to do everything I can to make the American spirit soar again, and
Dole has faced criticism from Norbert Dreiling, Kansas Democratic party chairman and long-time hatchetman of Gov. Robert Docking. Dreiling has attempted to place part of the blame for Watergate on Dole, apparently to pave the way for a senatorial race between Dole and Docking.
However, percy said Dole "should be re-elected next year by a margin equal to the 72 per cent (Sen.) Jim Pearson won with last year."
About 700 tickets were sold for the fundraising dinner and dance. According to party regulars, the turnout was much higher than expected for a statewide Republican gathering.
Percy's support for Dole was a dramatic reversal. The two senators have been vociferous opponents on the Senate floor. But, since Dole virtually controls the Kansas Republican party, he has become important to any presidential bid by Percy.

hope that you will join me," he said in an obvious call for support for his presidential campaign.
One party member said the smaller attendance was a protest against the liberal political views Percy had expressed in Congress.
Percy also used his Kansas trip as a sounding board for financial support. After a press conference in the afternoon, Percy met with members of the Five Score Club, composed of Republicans who have contributed $100 or more to their party.
"Sen. Bob Dole was one of the finest national chairmen our party has ever had," Percy said. "If Bob Dole had been left to run the 1972 presidential election as he should have been, there would be more evenness and Congress and statehouses, the President's have been re-elected by the same plurality, and there would have been no Watergate."
Apparently aware of the conservative news of the audience, Percy praised Sen. Ben Sasse.
After the briefing, Percy emerged with a multipage report titled "Kansas Political Briefing." Written across the top of the page, it stated: "I am an 'confidential', underscored several times.
After his arrival, Percy met for nearly an hour with members of the Kansas Republican executive committee for a political briefing.

When one of Percy's aides discovered that the report was visible to newsmen, the aide quickly retrieved the report and placed it inside a mantilla folder.
Ask whether he would follow liberal New York Mayor John Lindsay in changing from the Republican party to the Democrat, and he had no intention of leaving his party.
"I think it's a fine idea," said Ernest Anglo, professor of geology and civil engineering and chairman of the committee on impact of tenure decisions. "This will give everyone a chance to cut them up and evaluate them.
The report basically was a listing of key officials and contributors.
"My copies of the thing are in my files at the office, and I'll be handing them out as well."
"We need to open the doors of the Republican party to all the people," he said, addressing Republicans on Wednesday.
"The decision makes me happy for one personal reason," said T. P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics and chairman of the committee on tenure policy. "It gives an earlier opportunity to criticize the reports of some of the other committees."

Srinivasan said he opposed some of the recommendations of Angina's committee on impact of tenure decisions, including a ban on new requirements to declining enrollments.

Beef Lid Lifted; Consumers Wary
Associated Press Renorter
By LOUISE COOK
Consumers prepared for another round of price increases with the lifting of the beef ceiling at midnight yesterday, but even the higher prices that would happen at the supermarket today.
"At the moment, it's anybody's guess," Forest Burger, the meat merchant for the army, said.
Lawrence food buyers apparently won't be the effects of the end of the ceiling on beef.
Spokesmen for major area grocers contacted yesterday said they knew of no immediate plans to raise the price on beef in the country. The problem of possibility increases later in the week,
Wade Parker, general manager of the Pacific Meat Co. in Portland, Ore., said, “the retail price of beef could go up as much as 10 cents a pound. The housewife's going right along, and the price will go up. If the resists, it's going to stay down.”
Consumer resistance to high prices of pork and poultry, freed from most controls in July, has been credited with bringing the pork market under control of chicken. An Associated Press marketbasket survey earlier this month found retail prices had declined between the middle of August and the beginning of September, and prices had risen higher than they were six months ago.
A spokesman for Armour & Co. agreed that much depended on the consumer.
"It depends on farmers too. They may try to hold got or may decide they'd better say]
we're really saying "Is that we
don't know, going to happen," the
spokesman said.
Today marks the first time in more than five months that beef prices will be free of government ceilings. It also marks the start of new food regulations that will allow producers, processors and retailers to pass on these benefits to other increases in nonirraticural costs.
Dr. Herbert Stein, chairman of the
President's Council of Economic Advisers, predicted that beef prices would stay about the same for a while, but might increase with the onset of colder weather which traditionally brings a boost in the demand for red meat.
Richard Lyng, a former Agriculture Department official who will take over in November as president of the American Meat Institute said, "We may see an increase in beef prices, but we don't expect to see anything like the pork situation."
Celings on beef, and pork were announced in the beginning of April. In June, a 60-day freeze on all prices was imposed.
On July 18, President Nixon lifted the freeze on all foods except beef to allow prices to rise to reflect increased farm costs.
The beef freeze was to remain in effect until midnight tomorrow. It was lifted two days early to have off possible shortages that could have developed because of last minute buying by consumers who hoped to beat the price rise.

Vice President Spiro Agnew's presidential prospects dropped sharply in the poll.
Nixon and Agnew did discuss on Sept. 1 Agnew's defense and possible resignation.
I two unwarned sources quoted by Time said Agnew told Nixon he didn't want to resign even if indicated by a Halliburton treasurer. "We have no right to resign," he added, "to defend himself."
