Americans win Nobel
STOCKHOLM-Three American scientists were named winners of the 1975 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine yesterday for research into possible links between viruses and cancer.
Dr. Renate Dulbecco, an Italian-born American, will share the $143,000 award with Howard Martin Tennin, 40, of the University of Wisconsin and David Baltimore, 37, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dulbecco did his research in California but met his students 10 years ago and now works at the Department of Laboratory.
Imperial Cancer Research Park, London The prize-awarding faculty of Sweden's Caroline medical institution cited the three microbiologists for discoveries showing the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material in the cell.
New credit rules set
WASHINGTON—Creditors will be prohibited from judging applicants on the basis of sex or marital status when a new credit discrimination law goes into effect Oct. 28, the Federal Reserve said yesterday.
The Fed, in announcing final regulations, said it would also provide new benefits for all credit applicants by guaranteeing them the right to get an explanation if they have been denied credit or loans.
Some aspects of the law, such as a married woman's right to set up her own accounts and obtain a personal credit rating, don't take full effect for nearly three years. The Federal Reserve also removed its original requirement that reasons for credit rupture, must be given in writing.
However, the basic provisions of the law banning denial of credit because of sex or marital status take effect this month.
Welfare spending rises
WASHINGTON - The nation's welfare expenditures shot up 20 per cent in the last fiscal year as the rolls of the biggest family assistance program climbed to a record high, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare reported yesterday.
HEW said the number of persons receiving Aid to Families with Dependent Children (APDC) dropped by two-seventh in month after the release by the accession the previous month.
Total welfare spending in fiscal 1975 ending last June 30 reached $22.6 billion, a boost of $3.8 billion from the previous year.
Desert march planned
RABAT, Morocco-King Hassan II of Morocco yesterday called for 350,000 Spanish territory, he disputed Spanish territory, he challenged Spain to open fire on the marchers.
The king's announcement followed a ruling by the International Court of Justice at The Hague that it couldn't recognize Moroccan and Mauritanian sovereignty over the island.
In a nonbinding advisory opinion requested by the United Nations General Assembly, the court said the two countries had links to the territory when Spain colonized it in 1884 but these were based more on ties to the nomadic Saharan tribesmen than to the land.
Morocco's claims to the phosphate-rich northern part of the territory are opposed by Spain and Algeria, both of which demand a referendum among the country's three largest ethnic groups.
KPL hearinas near end
TOPEKA- The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) is expected to conclude its hearing on an application by Kansas Power and Light Co. (KPL) for or $6,786,000 per year increase in its basic natural gas rates today and take the matter under advisement.
The proposed increase would affect about 120,000 customers, mostly in central Kansas.
Witnesses for the staff of the KCC completed their testimony yesterday afternoon.
G. T. Van Bebber, KCC chairman, said that KPL$, whose witnesses testified earlier, would present rebuttal testimony this morning.
The rate increase includes $1.8 million approved by the commission on an interim basis in July. If the eventual increase approved is lower than that figure, a
TOPEKA-A the vast majority of nursing homes in Kansas are in excellent shape; only in a minority are there abuses. Atty. Curt Sandrels said
Nursing homes evaluated
Schneider's comments to newmen preceded the presentation of a report by his审计委员会, an executive committee outlining violations found in an investigation of eight murders.
Att. Atty. Gen. Don Hoffman in his appearance before the special legislative committee and reaffirmation that the investigators had checked the eight human beings they believed to be the wrights.
Representatives of nursing homes appearing before the committee were critical of the report on the grounds that it gave all nursing homes a black eye.
step. Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence, expressed concern that the report might convict good homes.
"A lot of them are doing a good job," Buzzi said. "I agree." Hoffman replied.
Barbara's ruling came after a recess taken following the state's resting of its
Barbara announced to the court after the state had rested its case that the conspiracy to commit bribery charges against William A. Latimer, Robert D. Miller and Robert Sommers were dropped on motion of defense attorney Robert D. Hecht.
Discussions among Barbara and the attorneys weren't in open court, but presumably Hecht made the motion to dismiss on behalf of all the defendants in
BARBARA THEN RECESSED court until this morning, when the defense will begin presenting its evidence on behalf of the four remaining defendants.
TOPEKA (AP)—Judge Michael Barbara yesterday dismended charges against three individual defendants in the first of six trials in the architectural contract backlack
Barbara would say only that he had sustained the motion to dismiss on behalf of the three defendants against whom the charges were dropped.
That left the charges against the Kansas City mechanical engineering firm of Burgess, Latimer and Miller and three other officers of the firm, William E. Burgess, Ralph E. Preston and Elton A. Flaster.
3 kickback defendants released from charges
DET. ATTY. GENE Olander would say only that "The usual motion was made" on his way to the courtroom.
The state, which has tried to depict—through witnesses—a scheme involving business-hungry architects and engineers offering to trade a contribution to money-many politicians in return for the award of a job, rested its case after calling 15 witnesses.
Now the defense begins calling its wit-
ness with former Gov. Roger B. Docking.
With that in mind, we just look at
There was no indication when, or even if,
Docking would be summoned to the stand.
FORMER ATTY. GEN. Vern Miller was among witnesses subpoenaed by the prosecution for this trial, yet he wasn't called by special prosecutor Mark Bemett
She testified that none of the six persons standing trial now was listed as contributors to the 1792 Docking re-election campaign on reports filed by his campaign officials.
Bennett called 15 other witnesses, the last maitreya McDonald, deputy assistant attorney general.
She testified that only Bruce Browne of Kansas City from among 18 individual defendants the kickback case was listed in her records. She said the records show he gave $500.
GRAND JURY INDICHTMENTS returned in January 1974 alllege architects and engineers agree to pay $30,000 into Docking's '72 training in return for the University's $500,000 design contract on the University of Kansas Medical Center expansion project.
Just ahead of Mrs. McDonald's testimony, an official of the First National Bank of Kansas City, Mo., testified that four checks prepared by the business manager of Burgess, Littler and Miller and made up $567,000 in cash are cashed in August and October of 1972.
The business manager, John Richner, testified earlier Thursday that he prepared the checks as "bonus" payments to Burgess, Elton R. Plaster and Ralph E. Preston, all defendants in this first of six trials involving the 18 defendants.
Richier said Burgess instructed him to make out the checks and how to reflect those on his tax return.
RICHNER ALSO TESTIFIED it was his understanding from conversations he had with company officials that the money was being spent on unprofessional contributions to the Docking campaign.
Richner also said he once checked with George R. "Dick" Docking, brother of the former governor and campaign treasurer for his brother, to ask if the plan using the bonus payments to obtain contribution money was legal. He said Burgess suggested he check out the plan with a lawyer, which Dick Docking is.
"I asked, him specifically if this was a legal method of making political contributions and he assured me it was," Richner said.
He said he was granted immunity from prosecution but obeyed that because of his faith, he believed that
DICK DOCKING ALSO has been deeply implicated by other witnesses who said he suggested political contributions to his brother's campaign. However, none has testified that the medical center contract was absolutely contingent upon the contributions by the five firms bidding for the contract in early 1972.
Docking, who is scheduled to go to trial in January, is accused of conspiracy to commit bribery, as are members of the Burress firm on trial now.
Another principal in the case, Richard L. Malloy, former governor's appointments secretary, is to go on trial a week from Monday, accused of bribery.
Four members of the main firm involved in the award of the contract, Marshall and Brown, testified at the state's request that the agreement be revoked Nov. 17, and could have refused to talk.
