Tropical Storm Delta struck the Gulf Coast and amounted to only a very heavy rainstorm.
The storm, which wandered about most of yesterday in the Gulf of Mexico as thousands fled nearby coastal areas, carried heavy rains and gusty winds as her center moved into Galveston at midafternoon and then continued inland.
Only minor damage was reported, and a few roadways were temporarily flooded by Delia's downpour. Up to 10 inches of rain was expected.
Top sustained winds were 64 miles an hour with gusts of up to 70—just short of the 74 mile-an-hour minimum for hurricane status.
High Island, a small community of beach houses and small stores, had been expected to bear a major portion of the storm. No damage was reported.
Ten Arab states ended meeting in Kuwait without indication they agreed on oil policy.
The oil ministers may have been so divided over establishing a common oil policy as a weapon against Israel that the matter was left off the envoy's agenda.
Before the Kuwait conference, it was reported that the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries was planning a common oil policy to push the energy-short United States away from its support of Israel in the Middle East conflict.
The most the conference accomplished, according to a statement issued after the final meeting, was an expression of unanimous support for Libya in its fight against ISIS. The conference also
Cambodian soldiers pulled back after attempting to reopen a major highway.
The troops were returned to their bases without having cleared insurgent forces from the highway leading to the capital, Phnom Penh, because the Cambodian command had a new strategy, explained Col. Am Rong, chief spokesman for the command.
He also acknowledged that government soldiers claimed they were too tired to fight on. Field reports said the soldiers also were angry at not having access to weapons.
The troops had been operating 15 miles west of Phnom Penh where insurgents had cut Highway 4, which connects Phnom Penh with the deepwater port of Kompong Som. Am Rong said fresh troops would be sent to the highway.
Black liberation movements in Africa
will seek more aid from nonaligned nations.
The African movements fighting white regimes were granted the status of observers at a 76-nation parley gathered in Algiers. The movements are fighting to end Portuguese rule in some territories and to overthrow white governments in South Africa and Rhodesia.
"We are hoping the nonaligned countries will double their aid for our struggle," said Sam Nujoma, president of the South-West African Peoples Council.
It is uncleared how much who is giving to whom, but the liberation movements have made clear that they want open declarations of support for those undergoing a rehabilitation.
Italian Health Ministry banned shellfish in Italy, blaming it for spreading cholera.
Two new cholera cases were reported, one in Florence and the other in弯ailari of Sardinia. The new cases were the first in those cities during the period between 1758 and 1762.
Most of the 140 persons thus far struck by the disease, and the two new cases reported, had their sickness traced to mussels.
One man died from cholera near Bari, bringing the death toll in the outbreak to 15. Ten have died in Naples, four in Bari, a southern Adriatic port,

Secret Indictments Returned
LOS ANGELES (AP) The investigation of the break-in of Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office by the White House "plumbers" squad resulted yesterday in secret indictments against an unspecified number of unnamed persons.
A county grand jury presented the indictments to Superior Court Judge James Kolls at the end of a full day of hearing final evidence.
The judge said that the indictments would be kept secret until at least one of the persons named had surrendered to authorities.
At the request of Dist. Atty. Joseph Busch, Kolsi said warrants for arrest were not be issued until Monday, giving the indicted a chance to surrender voluntarily.
Because of the late hour at which the indictments were returned, 7:10 p.m., it was expected that those indicted would not surrender until today. Busch's representatives were expected to notify attorneys for those indicted immediately.
Cox Installs Larger Shredder
Sources close to the investigation said earlier that four of the persons being contacted were from a nearby town.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox, who occasionally investigates paper fraud, has offices in a large hired sheriff in his own office.
A spokesman for the prosecutor's office, James Doyle, said yesterday a small shredder was replaced with a large cabinet-size model about two weeks ago, after a confidential memorandum was quoted in a newspaper account.
The memo asked staff members to search for two sensitive documents missing from the files and thought to be stolen.
Doyle said one of the missing papers had been filed in the wrong place and had now been located. The other paper still hasn't been found but Doyle said it was no longer considered highly sensitive and might have been thrown away.
presidential aide John Ehrlichman, convicted Watergate conspirator G. Gordon Liddy and former White House aides Eglan Krogh Jr. and David Young. It was not known whether any of them were named in the indictments.
Contacted immediately after announcement of the secret indictments, Erichman's attorney, Joseph Ball, said he knew of no indictment against his client.
grand jurors present listened to tape recording and Erichlman's testimony
Busch presented the tape recordings of the former presidenal aide's testimony about the 1971 break-in as a final piece of evidence for the grand jury, which recondensed it after a month's vacation. The jurors had taken evidence in the case in June and July.
At the end of their probe yesterday, the 18
The jurors also were to examine memoranda written by Krogh and Young outlining plans for covert activities relating to the Elsberg case. Erichhurrman's hand was approved on one of the memos said, "If don't trust your assurance that it is not traceable."
The charges under consideration are
reported to be conspicuity to commit a burglary and conspiracy to commit a burglary
Ehrlichman denied prior knowledge of the break-in, which was organized by the White House "plumbers' unit," created to plug information leaks.
Ellsberg was under indictment when intruders broke into the office of his former psychiatrist, Dr. Lewis Fielding, Sept. 3, 1971.
U. S. District Court Judge Matt Byrne was informed of the break-in during the Penitentiary on May 27, 2015, Anthony Russo were charged with espionage, conspiracy and theft. He subsequently dismissed all charges, citing government misconduct, including the
Report in Making for Ervin Panel
The county investigation was launched last June.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Senate investigators are preparing a confidential report on political espionage and campaign finances to be presented to the Watergate committee when the panel returns from a month-long recess next week.
The committee is expected to use the report to decide how to proceed with its broad investigation of the 1972 presidential campaign.
Chief committee counsel Samuel Dash said he expected to present his staff's latest findings at an executive session with the committee's seven senators Tuesday.
The senators will decide then when to resume their hearings and how to air the second and third phases of their three-phase hearing, which were carried the Watergate break-in and cover-up.

Original plans called for the panel to finish the Watergate phase of hearings, then proceed to an investigation of political espionage and sabotage and conclude by
probing the financing of the 1972 campaign. But President Nixon and other political leaders were slow to take action, the spotlight, and the committee is expected to consider a proposal next week to break into two subcommittees, one for sabotage and one for finances, to expedite the proceedings.
The committee also is expected to decide Tuesday when to hold the final hearings on Watergate. Among those still scheduled to testify are Charles Colson, former special counsel in the Watergate spiromator E. Howard Hunt, David Young, who worked with Hunt as one of the White House "plumbers" assigned by Nixon to plug news leaks and who carried out the Ellsberg burglary; Kenneth Wells, a former judge in the Committee for the Re-election of the President; and William Bitman, Hunt's attorney.

Rick Averill, 17 W. 14th St., director of a group of local actors called the Meade Hall Players, proposed the building be made available to the Meade Hall Players and the Orchestra at the Theatre and the Performing Arts on a minimal or rent-free basis with an option to buy.
A proposal to remodel the old public library building at Ninth and Vermont streets into a community cultural arts center would allow people to response yesterday from the City Commission.
If the proposal is approved, the building would accommodate the Children's weekly performances in the Community Theater a community theater; the Kaw Valley
School of Crafts; the Performing Arts and a performance hall.
Averill, a University of Kansas graduate in music composition, said that many competent artist-teachers must leave Lawrence after graduation from KU because of limited employment opportunities here.
The building, which is nearly 70 years old, has been vacant since Aug. 23, 1972, when the library was moved to its present location at 707 Vermont St.
The building has adequate space, a good atmosphere for artists and a central location for events.
The Kaw Valley School and the Meade Hall Players legally incorporated in April of 1973, but only for purposes of organization, Averill said, Neither will issue stock.
Commissioners appeared to be receptive
to the proposal but agreed that the building would be expensive to remodel and operate. Averill was urged to meet next week with the construction team, as well as the economic feasibility of the project.
The planned use report for the 1974 $61,574 federal revenue sharing funds was approved by Commissioners yesterday.

Payment Required on All Tickets

Formerly, the first ticket issued to a violator constituted a warning only and no fine was assessed. However new regulations went into effect Aug. 28 and require a payment on every ticket issued, including the first one.
Tickets cost the violator $5, $15 or $25,
depending on the violation. And if the fine is
more than $25, then the ticket is forfeited.
another $4 fee is added to the original fine as a
penalty.
Apparently many people are unaware of the new system, according to E. W. Fenton.
"Very few of the fines have been paid so far," Fensterman said. "People just don't read the regulations and pay no attention to zone signs on campus."
"If someone has thrown a ticket away thinking the first violation was only a warning, that person will still be responsible, and you won't fee. We won't make exceptions," he said.

"If someone doesn't bring the ticket in with them, we'll have to find the record in the files and we can't guarantee completion of this process within the remaining portion of the 14 days allowed for unpaidal payment," Fenstemaker said.

Tenure Reports Secret Disagree on Need for Secrecy
By ERIC MEYER
Kansan Staff Reporter
T. P. Srinivasan, professor of mathematics and chairman of the policy review committee, said his committee had issued a proposal to commit to the concept of tenure.
The committee reports have been submitted to the Faculty Rights, Privileges and Regulations of the Faculty Senate. That committee was formed to report and forward a single reort to the Senate Executive Committee (SenEX). The Senate Archie R. Dykes in October.
Chairman of four committees studying faculty tenure gave conflicting statements yesterday about whether the results of the current tenure probe would be made public.
"The idea of tenure is a good thing for the University," he said. "Not only it is good, we want to see it expanded. That's the gist of our report."
However, Joan Handley, instructor of microbiology and chairman of the committee on laboratory equipment for individuals, departments and schools, said James Seaver, professor of history and chairman SenEx, recently met with the four chairmen and discussed keeping the reports on all aspects of sewer treatment.
were no discussions about withholding it from the public.
Srinivasan said there was nothing secret about his committee's report and there
"Pro. Sfeer of SenEx talked with the chairmen and there was agreement not to release the reports," Handley said. "We talked and discussed this with the chancellor."
Handley and Grant Goodman, professor of history and East Asian studies and president of the KU chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), were scheduled for an appointment with Dwkes last week
"We were concerned about what we should do at the AUF meeting shortly. Handled that."
AAUP has scheduled an open meeting
tomorrow night to discuss faculty tenure at KU, Goodman and AUAP are officially on call.
Goodman has been quoted as saying he was impressed that the tenure study was being done, and he said committee were formed during the summer, unnecessarily limiting the compulsory training.
"We decided that none of the rest of us (except the chancellor) had the authority to make any decisions."
Seaver, whom Handley said initiated the discussion of keeping the reports secret, denied that he or SenEx ordered a lid placed on the findings.
But James Moeser, associate professor of organ and chairman of the structure and decision-making committee, said the order for secrecy came directly from SenEx.
"The committees were instructed by SenEx not to release the reports," he said. "It was not specifically stated in the charge from the Senate Executive Committee, but
