Rep. Skubitz admits franking privilege abuse
From the Associated Press
PARSONS—Rep. Joe Skubitz, R-Kan., said yesterday that his office in Pittsburgh had violated the congressional franking privilege by mailing 68 letters containing campaign material to newspapers without postage.
Skulitz had he planned to reimburse the Post Office for the amount of the postage paid. He also received a check for $150.
The charge that he had misused his privilege was raised by John T. Bird, campaign manager for State Sen. Frank Democrat opposing Skubitz for reelection.
Bird said that he would ask the House to censure Skubitz and ask for an audit of the Skubitz campaign fund by the General Funding Office and the Department of Justice.
"Censure is the only penalty provided for
violations of the violation of the franking
privilege." Bird said.
Skubtz had denied the charge Tuesday but then he said a clerical error had caused the mailing of the campaign material under the franking privilege.
"Mr. Bird was technically correct about the use of the franking privilege and I thank him for it."
"The matter has already been taken up with responsible people in Washington and I will reimbure the Post Office for the necessary postage of $7," he said.
from the attorney general's office told the men that a man from New Orleans would meet them in front of the Agricultural Hall and deliver money for a truckload of marijuana.
Agents from the attorney general's office and Wyandotte County deputies were stationed near the building as a truck half-filled with marijuana pulled up in front of the museum. The two men in the truck were followed by a pair of men in a car.
An agent said the men were met in the parking lot by six undercover agents who
They finally agreed to a purchase price of about $400,000. Miller then appeared, dressed in casual clothes and wearing a dress and carrying a briefcase containing $400.
Miller said that he participated in the case because the men were believed to be major suppliers who might be heavy arsenal. He allegedly carried by the driver was found.
Agents said the marjuana, valued by the attorney general's office at between $200,000 and $390,000 was harvested between Bonner Springs and Leavenworth.

Abrams dies in capital
From the Associated Press
Gen. Frederick Weyand, the last U.S. commander in Vietnam, was considered most likely to succeed Abrams as chief of staff.
Abrams, who would have been 60 on Sept. 15, had surgery nearly three months ago and returned to duty in July. In August he returned to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and was being treated for two blood clots.
Weyand, who was vice chief of staff under Abrams, assumed leadership of the Army temporarily until President Gerald R. Ford on a nomination to be sent to the Senate.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Secretary of Agriculture Erin Butz and other American food experts made it clear yesterday that the days of massive U.S. food programs overseas are over and that poor nations must do more to feed themselves.
"We cannot afford to feed the world, nor should we." Butz said at a meeting preparing for a world food conference in November in Rome.
From the Associated Press
In off-the-cuff butts Butz said the american people "have made a communal identity" for themselves.
That commitment will be upheld, he said, but in the face of expanding world population and domestic budgetary pressures there is no way the United States can run an international welfare program without end.
His solution, one put forth by other officials to the meeting of delegates from nongovernmental food organizations, is a call for the government to produce food by the poor nations themselves.
John Hannah, former director of the U.S. Agency for International Development and a board member upcoming food conference, said, "It is clear that growth rates world food production will have to double by the end of the century just to maintain the present inadequate level of food."
In spite of the major undeveloped production potential of the United States, that is too much to expect the United States to develop nations to meet, Hannah said.
U.S. food help must end, Butz says
"The only practical solution is to substantially increase food production in the poor countries." Otherwise, he said, "there is simply no way that the problem of feeding their hungry people can be adequately resolved."
Butz criticized many of the poor nations for failing to make the necessary albeit painful political decision that would raise food production.

He said the "cheap food policy" followed by many nations would lead to disaster because it penalized farmers by not paying them adequately.
He said all nations should copy the American free market system that
provided financial incentives to individual farmers to increase production.
Butz and Hannah also called on the ues
developed nations to construct a realistic
reservist system rather than depend on
the states to expand its surplus food
supplies.
