Bones don't forget or lie Remains witnesses to crime
By Stefani Day Of the Kansan staff
A dead person can become his own witness in court, a forensic anthropologist said Friday at the University of Kansas.
Clyde Snow, who has examined the bones thought to be those of Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele, said Friday that bones found in a grave could provide hard evidence that substantiates witnessed 'testimonies'.
"Unlike live witnesses," Snow said, "they don't forget, never forget. And they don't lie."
At Friday's lecture in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union, Snow snowpled mainly about his work to help identify the thousands of Argentines killed between 1976 and 1983 during military rule in Argentina.
Besides his work in Argentina, Snow, who is a retired anthropology professor from the University of Oklahoma, was on one of two teams from the United States to visit Brazil in June to examine b.nes thought to be Mengele's.
Snow said the skeletal evidence, combined with a mass of documentary evidence from Brazil and Germany and the testimony of two people who lived with the man thought to be Mengele, led him and other forensic experts to conclude the bones were Mengele's.
In Argentina, Slow has been helping textile and identify people who "disappeared" under the military rule. Snow said that in 1976, because of increasing social, economic and political chaos, the military took over the government and declared a "guerras sucia," or dirty war, on terrorists.
This is one of those cases that will go on for years," he said. "Some people will never be satisfied that this is Menge."
"They need to find evidence to the contrary, and so far there has been none of that."
When the army declared a person subversive, he was essentially denied civil rights. Snow said.
"The term 'desaparecido' means literally that, when you were targeted by one of the so-called military death squads and picked up, you simply ceased to exist," he said.
In September, he said, 9,000 "desaparecidos," or "disappeared ones," had been documented. Snow said he expected that when all the cases were found and documented, the number would increase to 12,000-15,000.
Snow said the "desaparecidos" were taken to detention centers where they were tortured and interrogated for days or weeks and then usually killed.
- Police surgeons completed the death certificates, indicating the people were unidentified. But, Snow said, all Argentine citizens must be fingerprinted, so identification would have been fairly easy.
At the end of the repression, Snow said, untrained people started mass exhumations of the "desaparecidos," and the result was a pile of bones that couldn't be identified.
An untouched skeleton can reveal a wealth of information, he said. For example, experts may find a bullet near the breastbone of a skeleton. From the position of the bullet, they will know how it is associated with the damage found later in the laboratory.
When he went to Argentina last year, he convinced the government to allow only trained archaeologists to exhume the bodies.
He said in one cemetery, 35 bullets were recovered from 10 graves studied by experts. None had been recovered from about 50 exhumations done by untrained people.
"This sort of evidence is necessary for a homicide trial, but it wasn't being recovered by the mass exhumation."
Longhurst receiving flack about proposal
By Mike Snider Of the Kansan staff
When Commissioner David Longhurst suggested at Tuesday's Lawrence City Commission meeting that a three-day waiting period to obtain a handgun be established, he didn't think he had opened a Pandaer in the Box full of threats.
About 20 anonymous calls were made to the Longhurst home Thursdays against the callers were against his suggestion. Some made threat, he said.
"I'm very surprised," Longhurst said yesterday.
The calls have stopped. Longhurst said. He didn't receive any calls yesterday and got only one Saturday.
What can you do? he said. He was been against Longhurst's suggestions.
He had thought about leaving the phone off the hook but didn't. He also didn't report the calls to the police.
"I have had some calls for support," he said, "Yesterday, one man called and said 'I'm an NRA (National Rifle Association) member,' and I support your idem."
Longhurst said he must not understand something about some gun owners — something that makes
"In fact, he said he felt that a week waiting period might be better."
"All I've done is ask 'Is there anything we can do?' and 'Is there any interest on the City Commission to look in it?' "I'm certainly not knowledgeable in what effect this would have on suicides. It just seems to me that it would affect the suicide rate."
them respond negatively to any gun control suggestions.
"When someone suggests anything at all, it sets off a very violent reaction," he said. "I don't think it's that they're against the three-day waiting period. I think that they believe that any control over firearms is bad.
Longhurst said he was interested in any meaningful discussion on the topic.
The Oct. 17 suicide of a 21-year-old KU student who shot herself with a .22-caliber pistol two hours after she had bought the gun prompted Longhurst to make his suggestion to the commission.
"I think it's awfully sad that someone decided to take her own life," he said. "I think it's equally sad that in the state of Kansas, in the city of Lawrence, that she could buy a gun and kill herself with it two hours later.
"We're not going to be able to prevent every suicide or every homicide, but we might be able to save one or two lives."
Conferees suggest remedies for ailing Kansas economy
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
Carlin told 180 people in Alderson Auditorium of the Kansas Union that Kansas lagged behind because of its economic mixture of agriculture, aircraft, oil and natural gas. He said the state must make basic investments, such as in education and a water system. It will be required and be lured to Kansas by advertising
Kansas has not kept up with the rest of the country's economic recovery, Gov. John Carlin said Friday at the eighth annual Economic Outlook Conference at the University of Kansas.
During the conference, economic experts from private business and federal, state and local governments discussed what was wrong with Kansas' economy.
Charles Krider, director of business research at the Institute for Public Policy and Business Research at KU, said this year's conference was oriented toward solving Kansas' problems.
"It's very important for us to hear what is being done in Iowa and Oklahoma," he said. "Those states have been more aggressive."
Stephen Matthews, executive director of the Oklahoma Department of Economic Development, said all the Midwestern states had programs to promote economic growth, only financing was different.
Dale Stinson, president of Kansas
"Recession is brought on by inep
economic policies," he said. "There
are about 300 bills in Congress right
now for protectionist measures.
"President Reagan is convinced that keeping markets open is in the interest of the American people. Protectionism leads to raised costs for the consumer, a total loss of jobs because other areas are hurt and misallocation of resources in the United States and in the world."
Beryl Sprinkel, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, spoke during a luncheon in the Kansas Union Ballroom. He said he hoped for a national economic rebound during the second half of 1985
