Dole may forego primary
By TONI WOOD Staff Reporter
Sen. Robert Dole, R-Kan, may not enter Kansas' first presidential April 1, David Owen, Dole's state campaign chairman, said last night.
Owen spoke to about 40 people at a Douglas County Republican meeting at the Lawrence Public Library.
"We're not worried about the Kansas primary," he said. "If "Dale is still in the NBA, I don't care how well the Kansas primary is not as significant because it is not winner-takeover."
Owen said Dole would decide by the end of March whether to withdraw from the presidential race to run for Senate re-election.
He will enter the early Republican primaries, including New Hampshire, Iowa and Florida, and will stay in the race after winning among the top three candidates. Owen said.
Dole said earlier this week that because he expected Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., to capture the Democratic nomination, he would catch his campaign toward defeating Kennedy.
OWEN SAIN The Republican party need a candidate who can counter Kennedy's loyalty to the Republican Party and the Senate. Dole or Howard BART, R-Tern, would be best suited for the challenge, he
The winner of the early primaries probably will spend from $5 million to $7 million, Owen said. The limit for campaign
spending in the entire campaign is about $12 million.
Initial funds for Dole's presidential campaign have been raised in Kansas. Dole will have a tough fight to keep up financially and Reagan and John Connally, Owen said.
"We're just old Kansas farmboys—that's what we feel like," he said.

DOLE HAS a campaign committee in Kansas for both the presidential campaign and the Senate campaign. Owen said, "He wants to protect the senate seat in Kansas."
"If the does not do well in the primaries, he will still have the opportunity to right on with the Senate race. He will have the option to run for the governor." The time before Nancy even entered in the race.
Sen. Nancy Kasebaum, R-Kan, entered the 1787 Senate race toward the end of March. The filing date for the Senate election is June 20.
Owen helped Kasshese in her race against Roy. He also helped Dole in his 1974 race against Roy.
Owen said Dole's emphasis on the presidential race now would not put him behind in the Senate race, because both campaigns were being organized early.
OWEN SAID that Dole did not put aside his duties to campaign for president, and that Dole had a 97 percent voting record during the past year.
Kim Wells, Dole's administrative assistant who also was at the meeting, said Dole had missed only seven of 300 votes during the past year.
Dole's seven absence occurred Tuesday when the Senate voted on a 3 percent increase in defense spending in defense支出 to increase defense spending in fiscal 1980 to $3.3 billion. The Senate also vowed 55-42 to recommend a 5 percent increase in defense spending for fiscal 1981.
Dole did not vote in either roll call.
Kassebauer voted "no" both times.
Wells said Dole was in New York for a private meeting during the voting, "He could have kicked himself" when he got hit by a car while he was on the Senate had voted on the issue, Wells said.
HOWEVER, WELLS said he did not know how Dole would have voted on the issue.
"If you had asked me a month ago, I would have said he favored an increase in defense spending," he said.
Since then, Dole has said he would want to know specifically how the money would be spent before he voted for an increase in defense. Wells said
Wells and Owen were in Lawrence for what John Langstrum, Douglas County Central Committee chairman, called the 'kickoff' to the 1980 election.
Morris Kay, state Republican Party chairman, also was at the meeting and said he would personally support Dole for whatever position he sought.
Kay said Kansans would support Dole for president.
"Kennedy has been an extreme liberal, which runs against the grain of the people of Kansas," he said. "And Carter has proven his inception to the people in Kansas."

Ruling closes records
TOPKEA, Kan. (UPI)—Attorney General, Stan. Kanell yesterday said he would state mental patients can be refused access to the patient's medical or psychiatric care.
In an opinion, Stephan said it is up to the director of a treatment facility to decide whether to release or withhold records on patients who have died. Kansas states do not give the patient's next of kin the right to automatically see the records.
facility has "unlimited descretion" in disclosing deceased patients' medical or treatment records.
The tissue surfaced when a Lawrence阿姨 asked to see Topeka State Hospital, which is located in a wandered away from the mental hospital where she was found drowned in a nearby pond.
He objected to an administrative policy interpreting state law to mean a relative must obtain a court order to see the records of a patient who has died.
Stephan said the head of a treatment
The statute does not mandate a court order to disclose the records, he said. "I believe we need to keep the records closed and the relatives have no statutory right to the records," he added.
After reviewing the attorney general's official Topeka State Supreme Court bid, Burkirk Wednesday said he released files on Katie Zeller, 21, to her parents, who live in Missouri.
Ruling to stand in KCC case
TOPEKA (AP) - An appeals court ruling affirms the state Corporation Commission's authority to enact natural gas rate structures based on volume, rather than a percentage increase for all customers. It will be reviewed by the Kansas Supreme Court.
Loux said the Supreme Court's refusal to review the case means the commission has greater flexibility to proceed with its policy limiting rates to end declining block rates.
KCC Chairman R.C. *Pete* "Pete" Louis said Wednesday the high court decided last week not to review a June 1 Court of Appeal opinion upholding the公司的 ability to hire wide discretion in determining rates all natural gas companies serving Kansas.
