Daley rival fears power of machine
"I want to get out of the race," said John J. Hoellen, who is scheduled to face Dale in the April 1 mayoral election. However, Hoellen added, "I have obligations to my party, my running mates and the people who have been involved in my campaign."
"It's impossible in the climate of total control by the Democratic organization for any opponent to survive its raw power and that machine has reached its ultimate peak."
Hoellen said the size of Daley's victory Tuesday was "beyond my comprehension, attacked as he was by almost all of the media. My inclination is to bow out gracefully. But it's much more complicated than a simple 'yes' or no."
Daley, 72, seeking his sixth four-year term, was challenged in a party primary for the first time in the two decades he has been mayor.
Drug charges from fall raid are dismissed
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP)—Felony drug charges have been against four men arrested last fall in a controversial drug raid led by former Atty. Gen. Vern Miller, who was posing as a wealthy southern narcotics dealer.
Judge Harry G. Miller of Wyndonette County District Court dismissed Wednesday the charges of conspiracy to sell marijuana in Dist. Alta., Nick A. Tomasic.
Tomasic said he had requested the dismissal because he had been unable to find the chief prosecution witness, John Eckhart, a former undercover drug agent. Tomasic said the charges could be reaffirmed within two months if Eckhart was found.
Three of the defendants in the case filed a suit against the attorney general and country sheriff, alleging that they were set up by Eckhart for the raid at the Agricultural Hall of Fame in Bonner Springs.
Estimates of the value of the marijana confiscated were as high as $450,000. But a defense lawyer contended there was only a thin layer of marijana covering tree limbs and that the amount of marijana was buried in a Topena landfill before its amount could be determined.

Dime calls endangered
The 10-cent telephone call may become a thing of the past if Western Bell Telephone Co. gets permission for a proposed $24.5 million rate increase.
By MICHAEL WARDROP Kansan Staff Reporter
The request, which was filed with the Kansas Corporation Commission Nov. 15, would affect all local and long distance telephone service in Kansas. The commission has scheduled a hearing on the request for May 19.
Mike Gage, public news services manager for Southwestern Bell in Topeka, said Monday that after taxes, the company would receive only $11.9 million.
He said Bell wanted the rate increase to catch up with inflation and to offset the high interest rates.
The borrowed money, he said, is used for construction so that Bell can assure good funds.
It is important that the rate increase be approved so the company can effectively deal with the current economic situation, Gae said.
Southwestern Bell's latest overall rate increase was in 1972. Then, the rate increase proposal was for $14.7 million, but the approval imposed only a $3.6 million increase.
The increase presently proposed is from 70 to 85 cents a month for a private line residence telephone. The rates for a company business line would increase by $1.70
Rates for pay telephones would increase to 20 cents a call. Rates for long distance calls that require an operator's assistance also would be higher.
Bell's rationale, Gage said, is that people who use pay phones and require assistance from the operator should pay phones and require assistant
Bell's rationale, Gage said, is that people who use pay phones and require assistance from the operator should pay the cost for services.
Also included in the proposal is an increase in cost of installation.
Installation of one residence telephone where there has been no previous service would cost $24; $12 for the initial request for service, $9 for central office work and $3 for the actual installation. Current total cost for installation ranges from $8 to $10.
Gage said the rates varied, depending upon the service requested, the type of equipment installed and the amount of work required for the installation.
The increased installation rates would probably adversely affect University of Kansas students who change residences each school year.
Gage said Bell understood that the proposal might cause a few problems for students, but the rate increase would affect Kansas statewide.
Bill Collinson, public office manger for Southwestern Bell in Lawrence, said it cost $17 to dispatch a truck to a residence for a telephone hook-up. With the current charge for phone installation at $8, Bell has absorbed a loss for the service, he said.
He said local figures showed that more students were staying in one residence for an entire school year instead of moving between semesters.
Until now, he said, the customer who didn't do a great deal of moving has had to bear the cost for those people who frequently changed residences.
Dale E. Saffles, chairman of the Kansas Corporation Commission, said certified public accountants had studied proposed rate changes from six to eight months before the changes were considered at a public hearing.
