Is Howard Hughes alive?
NEW YORK--Billionaire Howard Hughes didn't show up in court yesterday to
prove he is still alive.
But a lawyer for Hughes' Summa Corp. did, and he said the attempt by two shareholders in the Air Liquidation Co. to have Hughes declared legally dead
State Supreme Court Justice Thomas Hughes, who signed an order giving Hughes until yesterday to prove he is still alive, reserved decision on the Davis motion.
"Inference is plain that the plaintiffs believe if they make enough of a misuse of someone, some will pay them to go away," Hughes' lawyer, Craig Davis, said.
Soviet grain payments up
WASHINGTON - The Soviet Union tentatively has agreed to pay $1 a ton to U.S. ships carrying American men to Russia, Secretary of Commerce Rogers Morton said in a statement.
Morton said the agreement wasn't final but the Russians had "given a handshake" on it yesterday.
The price is higher than the current Russian payment rate of $5.50 a ton and is a feature that appraisers are agreeable to George Menny, president of the AFL-CIO, maritime union, long-term manager.
CIA explains disobedience
WASHINGTON—Former CIA Director Richard Helms testified yesterday that his employees were trained to accept oral commands as "orders written in blood" and, therefore, he didn't issue a written order when relaying a directive from the President of the United States.
Helms said the CIA's failure to destroy its cache of poisons in accordance with former President Richard M. Nixon's order was an "odd aberration" unlikely to be repeated.
He told the Senate Intelligence Committee that while he issued no written backup order he had assumed the shellfish toxin and other poisons had been
TOPEKA-A A decision by the Kansas Supreme Court to conduct a rehearing of the Wichita State University football plane crash case doesn't relieve the Kansas Legislature and the governor from developing a civil claims act for consideration in the 1976 session, Ggv. Robert F. Bemett said.
The governor said he considered the possibility that the Supreme Court would reverse itself to be remote.
Missiles for Israel studied
WASHINGTON--The United States might give Israel a battlefield missile system, infiltrating strikes upon Cairo, the Aswan Dam and almost every airport in Syria.

Danish cops spy hookers by gait
COPENHAGEN (AP) — A court has ruled that a policeman can be forced from the way a man is carrying an object.
“This is ridiculous,” mapped the 22-year-old woman on trial. “If police can judge from a girl's walk of walking whether she should defend herself, she should arrest a lot of ladies all over town.”
The officer who arrested her told a district court trying the woman on multiple soliciting charges Tuesday that he had frequently watched her on the street where she was working. The district judge of Vestergaard, a short walk from the downtown luxury hotel district.
"I took action only when she was obviously soliciting, and that was easily determined from the way she walked," the policeman testified.
The woman didn't deny she was a Danmarker, not Denmark, but proclaiming in a public place "I am Danmark."

Prof says busy legislators slow educational changes
He said yesterday that he hoped applications for the position of associate vice chancellor would be in by Oct. 1 or shortly thereafter.
Kansas is the only state that has an educational commission made up completely of state legislators, he said. The progress of the educational commission is slow because the legislators have so much to do in other areas of government, he said. He says, education administrators and educators on their commissions, he said.
Drury said his job was to prove staffs for the Kansas legislators on the commission that he was serving.

He said many of the junior colleges were too small and couldn't offer a wide enough educational curriculum to students. Some junior colleges have fewer than 500 students.

haying education. The commission was formed in 1974 under section 202 of the National Higher Education Act of 1972. The act promotes advancement of state educational systems. One of the main problems facing the committee, Drury said, is the future financing and governance of junior colleges.
Calgaard said that the position had been advertised in the Chronicle of Higher Education and other national publications. Several good applications from outside the University of Kansas have been received, he said.
"Themajority of faculty were gone by the time the position was announced and they didn't return by the middle of August. We extended the deadline to make certain that women, minorities and those gone for the summer could apply."

junior colleges, he said, but it will be a while before a decision can be made.
In addition to studying junior colleges, Drury said, the commission is also studying the lack of state-wide planning, educational opportunities for all Kansans, the dual system of academic and vocational study, enrollment and unsatisfactory financing.
Dryu said he didn't know when answers to the problems would be found.
"The field of post-secondary education is so broad, and the demands of the legislators are too demanding," he said. "It may take a long time."
