Grain boycott to end
WASHINGTON - AFLCIO President George Meany said yesterday he would suspend for a month the boycott on loading grain on ships bound for Russia after President Ford pledged to try to work out long-term grain arrangements with the Soviet Union.
Ford met with Meany and several dockworkers union officials in a hastily called meeting at the White House.
To buy time for an assessment, the President extended the present moratorium on new grain sales to Russia another month until mid-October.
Lettuce workers vote
SALINAS, Calif.—Farm workers on the two biggest lettuce farms in the nation, Interharvest and Bud Aid units, went to the polls to decide whether they want the farm to be closed or stay open.
A crucial vote is set Wednesday at the world's largest winery, E&J Golf Winery at Modesto, Calif., in the San Joaquin Valley.
Two bitter union rivals, the powerful Teamsters and Cesar Chavez' underdog UFW, put headlight in the battle to represent the state's field workers.
Under a new state law that went into effect Aug. 28, California's farm workers may vote to choose which union, if any, they want to represent them at the county level.
Hoffa dead, son says
DETROIT—A federal grand jury investigating the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa is looking at the record of two assistants, Hoffa's successor in the team. He was one of the Teammates uncle.
Meanwhile, Hefa's son James said publicly for the first time he was convinced his father had been assassinated. But he said he didn't know who was responsible.
In the grand jury investigation, a motel employee said he told the panel 'a man killed himself in the fair lane' in Dearborn, Mich., four days before Hefa disappeared.
City hospital now using kits to get rape evidence
Hospital kits which authorities say will better protect in-windows in rage cases can be used at least five times a year.
Similar kits have been in use for several years at Watkins Hospital according to the reports cited in this study.
Detective Carroll Crossfield of the Lawrence Police Department said yesterday that the rape kits were developed by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation to standardize the way evidence in rape cases was processed.
County Attorney David Berkowitz said rape victims had, on occasion, been called
Applications for supplementary funding for campus organizations this fall are available in the Student Senate office, 101B in the Kansas Union.
New groups apply separately when they are organized, he said.
Funds available to KU groups
John House, Senate treasurer, said yesterday organized groups had until 5 p.m. Sept. 19 to apply for part of the estimated $27,000 available.
back to the hospital for tests that were required but necessary for evidence in court.
Most of the money comes from last fiscal year's contingency fund. The Senate budget is figured without specific activity fee house said, and needs a safety cushion.
Most of the tests can be analyzed in Lawrence, Crossfield said. In the past, some of the laboratory work had to be completed by the KBI or state laboratories in Topeka, complicating the investigation of rapes.
The time it takes to process rape cases should be significantly reduced, Berkowitz
He said the kit could be used by the doctor, laboratory technician or nurse who administered the physical examination following a rage.
The kit contains instructions for the victim and the doctor and sterilized instruments and containers for the collection of the blood from the wound for the doctor to fill out also are included.
He said the standardized kit would benefit the doctor who might not be familiar with the evidence required in a rape case by providing specific instructions to follow.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital has been a great held in organizing the kit, Crossfield said. The new process will benefit law enforcement, doctors, hospitals and rape victims.
Berkowitz said the new procedure wouldn't change the way rape cases were investigated by police. Unless a rape victim wants to report a rape case, police aren't notified by the hospital that a rape victim has been treated.
