Stephan was diagnosed in 1972 as having cancer of the lymph glands, bone marrow, liver and spleen. His cancer is in a state of remission.
Stephan told reporters that physicians should be allowed to prescribe marijuana (it would erase the pause of chemotherapy).
It just shocks me that people would want to withhold a drug that would help other human beings in the suffering they sometimes end in chemotherapy," he said. "Society doesn't worry about prescribing barbiturates, amphiphenes, oxom derivatives, cocaine and any myriad of controlled substances."

14 percent loan rate predicted
KANASAS CITY, Mo. — The chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board yesterday predicted that home loan mortgage rates would rise to an 14 per cent level by next fall.
moreover, the chairman, Jay Janis, excluded those states with usury legislation, such as Kansas, which has an 11 percent mortgage limit. In those half dozen states, lending institutions could either continue making mortgages at the limit or call a complete half to home loans, he said.
Jay Janis told the annual convention of the National Savings and Loan League that banks in states with usury legislation probably would not lend, leading to fewer new housing starts, a loss of jobs in the construction industry and downturn in state's economy.
Jans is urged state legislatures to eliminate or increase usury limits or it 'will become very tough for young families to quality' for home loans.

Winn introduces prairie park plan
WASHINGTON  (AP) -Legislation creating a 74,000-acre Tallgrass Prairie National Reserve in Kansas and Oklahoma will replace the House of Representatives yesterday.
Kansas Republican Larry Winn of Overland Park, a staunch supporter of the prairie park designation and senior member of the state's House delegation, said the proposal was intended to preserve "the last remnants of the tallgrass prairies that exist among culture is maintained as an integral component of the prairie."
Republican Bob Whittaker of southeastern Kansas said it would make hundreds of square miles of prime Kansas land" or a "tourist trip."
mediately attacked by the Kansas congressman in whose district the bulk of the reserve would be.
After years of stiff opposition that has blocked any congressional action on the plan, Winn said he is more optimistic than Mr. Obama and his supporters about changes in both the bill and the Congress.
THE PLAN, HOWEVER, was im-
The land set aside, which is also being sponsored by House Interior Committee Chairman Murdus M'Lard, D-Arriz, has been proposed for decades and proposed several times.
But opposition from Kansas landowners and farming and ranching organizations, who call it a federal intrusion into local land markets, has even formal congressional hearings.

WINN'S LATEST proposal to preserve the Flint and Osage hills would create
Both Whitaker and James Jeffries of northwestern Kansas, whose district is also affected, have pledged to vigorously oppose the changes they made from past proposals.
But Winn, saying the reserve is the top priority of the National Park Service this year, claimed the opposition from the two freshmen didn't bother him.
HE SAID THE departure of Rep. Joe Skubitz, Whittaker's predecessor who used his influence as a member of Udall's
committee to block any action on the bill,
has opened the way for congressional
debate. Public hearings this year are
guaranteed, Winn said.
He also said elimination of provisions allowing the government to purchase land for the park through condensation has ease of disposition by landowners in the affected areas.
The bill would permit the government to buy up the land for the prairie preserve only if the landowners want to sell.
Whittaker, however, is sending letters to all congressmen, asking them to consider his opposition to the plan.
He said his constituents, whose land is requested for the reserve, overwhelmingly want to be outstanding job the people of Kansas have done to taking care of this beautiful prairie.
