WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to freeze the price of food stamps for the rest of this year.
freeze the pieces.
The freeze was passed 374-39.
The freeze was passed on Wednesday.
The vote will send the measure to the Senate for action today or Thursday to block the Ford administration's plan to raise the price of the stamps March 1 to reduce federal spending by $648 million.
The house vote required two-thirds approval under suspension of the rules procedures chosen after the Agriculture Committee recommended that the House vote.
The administration had announced its plans last Dec. 4 and confirmed its intentions last month.
The premier of "Free to Be . . . You and Me," adapted for the stage by the theater director of Hashinger Hall, will be this week.
By ANGELA POTHETES Kansan Staff Reporter
The play was originally an album, then a television show and a book.
Peggy Baldwin, director of Hashinger Theatre, has adapted the script with the help of students. Baldwin proposed her plan to the Free To Be Foundation, Inc. over 38 months ago and received its approval with a letter of recommendation from no change of philosophy, she said Monday.
When the cast of 10 started rehearsing over seven weeks ago, Baldwin said the play was about the affirmation of the individual, breaking role myths, expanding
'Free to be ... ' premier this week
Baldwin said she had been sending parts of the script to the foundation for its approval and there had been a difference of opinion over only one aspect of the production, an additional song written by Richard Averill, 630 Elm.
horizons and the paradox of living with interdependency and autonomy.
"Growing Pains," Averill's song, was added to illustrate the struggles of growing up. Baldwin said. She said the foundation thought that the attitude of the song was implement in other parts of the show, but she also brought the idea needed to be more explicit.
New nuclear plant
The foundation has the right to take the song out, she said, because when the show completes its run at Hashinger the entire script will be turned over to it.
BURLINGTON, Kan.-A state district court judge ruled Tuesday that Kansas Gov. Mike DeWitt could go ahead with plans to fund a Well Creek Nuclear development plant project.
However, the judge, Floyd A. Coffman, said he would schedule a further hearing on questions raised by opponents of the plant, who have questioned whether there is a need for the electric power that would be generated.
The judge and attorneys for the power company and opponents agreed to postpone setting a date for that hearing pending an appeal that is exacerbated by the publicity of the case.
Judge Coffman ruled Tuesday that the power company was acting within its legal right by exercising the power of eminent domain over about 10,000 acres of land for the plant near this southeastern Kansas community.
Sen. Henry M. Jackson, D-Wash., was second with $1.1 million, mostly from donations of between $1,000 and $3,000 each. Sen. Lloyd Benten, D-Tex., was third with $1 million, a total that included some money raised in donations to the Veterans Administration also relied heavily on donates who gave between $1,000 and $3,000.
He said the nuclear safety questions raised by landowners opposed to him were well addressed and considered at a public hearing by the Bureau of Emergency Management.
WASHINGTON - Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace raised far more money last year than any other presidential hopeful, finance reports showed today. Wallace raised nearly $1.8 million using a massive data-tail-mail campaign. Most of the money came in donations of under $100 each.
LONDON- Edward Heath, who led Britain into the European Common Market, gave up his bid Tuesday to remain head of the opposition Conservative party after suffering a stumping upset on the first ballot of the party's leadership election. Heath, 58, a strong favorite before the ballot, was beaten by Margaret Thatcher, a 49-year-old former Education minister. She received 130 votes to Heath's 119.
Wallace raises most
Heath out of race
in next Tuesday's second ballot, she could face new opposition in her bid to become the first British woman to be a major party leader and contender for prime minister. A simple majority will be sufficient in the second ballot. Heath, incumbent party leader and a former prime minister, is expected to win the second ballot. Heath later named Tory economics spokesman Robert Carr to take over duties as opposition leader until a successor is elected.
Amended bingo bill to face House vote
TOPEKA (AP)—An extensively amended bingo bill was approved Tuesday by the House Federal and State Affairs Committee.
The bill now goes to the full House for debate and possible further changes.
It is likely that the bill would then be sent to a conference committee of senators and representatives to work out a final version acceptable to the two branches.
Passage by the House would send the measure back to the Senate for consideration of changes made since the bill was passed by that body.
The House committee:
- Liberalized the definition of fraternal organizations that may obtain bingo licenses. Licenses also can be obtained by other organizations. They include educational and veterans organizations.
—Wrote in a provision that a license may conduct bingo at locations other than specified in the license for a maximum of five days each year.
-Made it clear that a charge for a card to participate in all regular games on a given
day won't exceed $1, with an additional charge of up to $1 for each card for a special or jackpot game. There would be a limit of 25 games that could be operated by a license on a given day, not more than 5 of which could be special or jackpot games.
--Restored a provision banning persons unauthorized to participate in the operation of bingo games.
—Deleted a requirement that bingo games be open to the general public and substituted language that said that "no organization which denies its membership to persons for the reason of their race, color, religion, sex or nationality" was invited or allowed to retain," a bingo license.
—Added an amendment designed to allow residents of government-operated senior citizen homes to set up organizations which provide services to the act to permit games in such homes.
Efforts in the committee to remove a 3 per cent "enforcement tax" which would be levied against the operation of bingo games in addition to the normal state sales
An effort to prohibit persons under age 18 from playing bingo also failed.
Jazz pervades American culture
Plans call for the bill to come up for debate in the House. Thursday with a final vote, it will be announced.
When was the last time you listened to jazz?
It was probably within the last week if you watched Mannix, Ironside or almost any of the modern TV adventure series, or if you watched 3rd Edition 5th Dimension or Jackson Five album.
Jazz appears in many forms today, Foster said. It has merged with rock and also with more serious music. There are bands that masses and chorus pieces today, he said.
Jazz has spread throughout our culture, but most people don't recognize it as jazzy, Robert Foster, KU band director, said last week.
"The background music for almost 80 per cent of all adventure stories on television, excluding westerns and the 'Lassie come home type,' have jazz scores," Poster said. "Quincy Jones music for Ironside is straight jazz."
Henry Mancini was one of the first composers to apply jazz to the background music of television show, Foster said. He worked with his friend Gunn show made him famous, he said.
Even music you hear in elevators is usually derived from jazz, he said.
The harmonic structure, the style of the performance and the interpretation of jazz distinguishes it from other music forms, Foster said.
"Jazz is the only true American art form," Foster said. "It is uniquely American and is the most important musical export America has."
Jazz can be found behind the Iron Curtain, in Africa and almost anywhere, he said.
Much is being done to educate and expose the general public to jazz. The University of Kansas has three jazz ensembles. The ensembles will be performing in several contests in Kansas City Mo., and throughout Kansas in the next three months.
People in the Lawrence area will have an opportunity to bear one of the most fast jazz
Obtaining the necessary funds to operate an effective office was the chief concern at a meeting of the Graduate Student Council (GSC) last night in the Kansas Union.
Jim Scaly, Lawrence graduate student, said it was apparent from the candidates' remarks that the Student Senate had never been elected and nor had they ever really seemed to care.
Council members also heard student body presidential and vice president candidates who addressed them and answered their questions. The Senate's commitment to graduate students.
Money matters concern GSC
A resolution to determine whether a specific amount of funds from the student activity fee, could be earmarked for other purposes was passed with only two dissenting votes.
Ellen Reynolds, GCS coordinator, said she had received requests for funds from 11 graduate student organizations already, and expected more. The GSC has about $1,000 to distribute among the organizations.
Besides predicting higher unemployment and more inflation, the advisers said the administration feared a record trade deficit this year. Council chairman Alman Green-creward "harmed" "extensive pessimism" over the economy's course for the next 12 months.
The advisers said the costs of restoring the nation to economic health included permanently higher energy costs, a less efficient manufacturing living and a restructured industrial base.

Ford, advisers contest future of economy
Fifteen musicians, including Bill Evans, piano; Cark Terry, trumpet; Gary Burton, viaphone; and Gerry Mulligan, saxophone, will spend two and a half days conducting mini-concerts, clinics, workshops and recitals. The festival will conclude with a concert for the general public.
The world renowned Newport Jazz Festival will be in Lawrence from April 21 through April 23. This festival originated in New York and has performed in Tokyo, Sydney, Budapest and throughout the United States.
Answering questions at an Atlanta news conference, Ford said "the economic situation in 1976 will be an improving economic picture. I think the economic circumstances will be good enough for me to seek election."
But back in Washington, the three-man Council of Economic Advisers said in its annual report that the economy faced a challenge line in the first three months of this year.

Rape reports at McCollum called untrue
However, the economy should "move on to the road to recover" by the second half of the year.
The incident early Sunday morning was a burglary-robbery, Thomas said. An intruder entered the home and then resident's unlocked room and took a purse, he said, and the woman heard the man and
Incidents at the hall were reported to the department on both sides of the said, but no further action was taken.
Reports of attempted rapes in McCollum Hall Sunday and Monday mornings are untrue, Mike Thomas, director of security and parking, said Tuesday.
The festival is sponsored by Branif International in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Arts, the Mid-America Alliance, and the Kansas Arts Commission.

The staging uses a path all the way around the theater and a functional jungle gym to depict a park. Also, the windows are covered with what could be first-grade art projects.
The woman was taken to Watkins Hospital, Thomas said.
The purse was later recovered minus an undetermined amount of cash, Thomas
An incident occurring Monday morning at about 3:15 involved an apparently inxoticated woman, Thomas said. The incident apparently started off campus, and the woman continued to cause a disturbance after she entered McCollum, he said.
Baldwin, who has been the theater director at Hashinger for nearly three years, announced that she would quit at the end of this semester. She said that the job was supposed to be halftime but wasn't, and also that her husband would be taking a year sabbatical.
Baldwin said she drew the concept and form from the book and record but developed the continuity, flow and build of the play on her own. The sketches, which are enlargements of the original stories and poems in the book, were written by Hashinger residents Peggy Brown, Hilli Thomas, Illene Schoenberg, son Neb, senior; Janet Kearney, Olate junior; and Bruce Strock, Shawne Mission freshman.
The skirts do two things, she said. First, they go beyond sex-role stereotypes and allow people to be what they are, and second, they embody the spirit of childhood.
Baldwin said the excerpts were being used because he was a good common sense judge, and the discussion
The next show at Hashinger is "Bird Bath," a one-act play scheduled for March.
Baldwin said that some of highlight skis in the production were "Ladies First"; "Lady First" was played to Cry or How I Crosed the Street"; "Parade People"; and "Slaters and Brothers."
Baldwin said the University would reserve the right in the future to do the script royalty free and would receive credit for it, but it wouldn't be paid for the adaptation.
It is an educational service, Peter
Miller of the Mid-America Arts Alliance, said.
Links are made between the sketches, Baldwin said, by a variety of methods including music and improvisational games. The script differs from the television version, she said, because of the transitional elements and the exclusion of animated cartoons.
Besides playing at Hashinger Theatre, excerpts from the show will go on tour. The play will be performed at 8 p.m. Feb. 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 21 in Hashinger Theater. The performance will take place on Monday, February 22 and in the Theatre and excerpts of the play will be on tour in March and April.
Robert Wherle-Einhorn, co-resident director of McColumn, said there was no action being taken as a direct result of the incidents.
On tour the play will be a theatrical catalyst for a Kansas Committee for the Humanities program called "Men and Women: Evolving Roles in a Changing World" at The University Branch of the American Association of University Women, the show will tour nine Kansas communities. The program will also include a forum discussion.
"We thought the rejuvenation of jazz could be very exciting," Milstein said. "We want to attract businessmen, students and senior citizens."
"I don't see it as any crime wave," Wherle-Einhorn said.
Deadline February 21
He said signs were posted in the halls every ascm to remind students to lock the doors.
