Legislature to vote on court revamp
TOPEKA (AP) —The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee said Tuesday that a bill providing for major restructuring of the Kansas court system would be voted on by the Legislature this session and not carried over for further study.
A question has surfaced that the Republican leadership and Gov. Robert R. McCain asked a panel of with the hearings on the proposed change of the court system but that they might delay action on the measure until 1976 to study the effects of an intermediate appeals court.
However, Sen. J. C. Tillotson, R-Norton, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said a decision was reached to try to get the bill through this session because implementations would come until mid-1976, which would provide time for further financial study.
Tiltson shot the biggest obstacle he saw for the court unification plan was the uncertain cost of placing the entire state court system under one state-supported budget.
Presently, courts below the district court staffs are financed through local property funds.
Titelson said if the bill was approved, the Legislature could conduct an interim financial study, and the 1976 session would have another chance to review the legislation.
Besides unifying the courts into one system, the bill would create the intermediate level of appeals court, would establish criteria for selection of judges and judicial staff and would call for the state to finance all of it.
All courts below the district court level would abolish and the district courts would be restored.
"This bill will allow us to move from a fragmented system of justice to a unified system under one court," said District Judge A. B. Fletcher, Junction City, a suburban county in western Kentucky. Chief Justice Harold Fatzter of the Kansas Supreme Court to draft the legislation.

Cases for and against fluoridated water were presented Monday by several persons who have discussed the controversial water program before a Kansas House committee.
Teeth gnash in fluoridation debate
Drinking fluoridated water can cause people to have symptoms such as diarrhea, headaches, itching skin, muscle cramps, chronic fatigue and constipation. Albert W. Burgstahler, professor of chemistry, said Tuesday.
Burgstalter is an opponent of fluoridated water supplies. He spoke before the Kansas House of Representatives Committee on Public Health and Welfare in opposition to a bill that would require all water supplies in Kansas to be fluorinated in 500 persons to be fluoridated by July 1979.
Burgsthal thinks it is a mistake to fluoride water supplies when there is evidence to show that fluoridated water has adverse effects on some people.
He cited cases in which people who had
Dean to probe alleged assault
Three Lewis Hall women residents were allegedly assaulted Monday night in the hall cafeteria by an estimated 20 women to the Security and Parking Department.
Mike Thomas, director of the department said Tuesday that two of the women were treated at Watkins Hospital for minor injuries and then released.
The report said the confrontation was caused by long standing hard feelings between the two groups of women. Thomas said the department hadn't determined whether the incident was in any way a racial conflict.
A report of the incident wasn't available Tuesday because the officer writing it appears to have been off duty.
Kala Stroop dean of women, said she had talked with Lewis personnel about the incident and would talk to the persons involved.
The approximately 20 women were blacks and the three victims were white.
Stroup also said she couldn't say whether the incident was a racial conflict.
JoAnn Gulfoye, housing manager of Lewis, refused to comment about the incident, as did Molly Lafflin, Lewis Hall resident director.
"We'll be able to assess that when we talk with the people involved." Stroup said.
drink fluoridated water for a period of time developed headaches, intermittent cramps and fatigue. Usually, he said, people never realize that the symptoms may have stemmed from fluoridated water, and doctors usually never detected it. However, he said that when these people moved to communities where water was not fluoridated water or stopped drinking the fluoridated water, their symptoms went away.
Ralph Ackichson, president of the Kansas State Dental Association, disagrees. He said that opponents to fluoridated water had made it easy to prove that it was harmful to anybody.
"Every legitimate health association in the United States," Aitchison said, "has endorsed fluoridation and they haven't done it blindly."
ney, associate professor in oncology. McKinsey also spoke to the bishop of Opoka. He said the medical association he held endorsed water fluoridation either didn't investigate its effects thoroughly or ignored the facts about it.
"They did it blindly," Lewis McKinney pro-
fessor of history, said.
"The medical association journals," Burgstahler said, "have thoroughly isolated the facts from their readers. They act as though the evidence did not exist."
Russell Sumith, associate dean of the school of dentistry at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, said the studies Burgstahler had done weren't objective. He added that he was able to find any facts to show that Hydrated water was harmful to people.

NOTICE
"These claims of people having cramps and headaches or of being sick from drinking fluoridated water have been coming up for years," Sumnil said. "If you look at them closely, they just don't stand up."
Sumnich said that if opponents to fluoridated water had a legitimate argument, there would be more than 180 fluoridated water drinking fluoridated water every day.
in accordance with the University's Affirmative Action plan, women and minorities are especially encouraged to run for these offices.

that Burgstaff's arguments weren't valid and that his cases were obscure.
"All of the symptoms, Petraborg's report says, 'rapidly disappeared without medication when fluoridation-free water was substituted for the fluoridated tap
Summish said that he had never seen any evidence to prove such claims, and that he
H. T. Petraborg, a doctor in Atikin, Minnesota, recently completed a report in which he talked about patients he had studied who had been drinking fluoridated water for some time. The report says that the patients had symptoms including diarrhea, headaches, chronic fatigue and muscle cramps.
had never seen a patient with any symptoms caused by floridated water.
Atchison people usually didn't get enough fluoride in their diets, and thus it can lead to dental problems.
Burgsthaler said that it was the combination of the amount of fluoride in water supplies plus the amount of fluoride in foods that posed the threat. He said that most Americans already got too much fluoride in their diets.
But Burgstahler said that not only were the claims about how fluoridated water prevented tooth decay questionable, but that there was scientific proof to show that fluoridated water did have side effects on many people.
