LBJ's Hopes High For Tax Increases
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—President Johnson, seeing "minimum opposition" in Congress, was pressing ahead today with his plans for extra tax revenues to finance the war in Viet Nam.
The President Thursday sent the lawmakers detailed requests for tax realignments he estimates will bring in an extra $4.8 billion in the fiscal year beginning July 1.
The biggest effect on the average taxpayer will come from a new income tax withholding plan. Officials stressed this actually would help some workers while at the same time speeding the flow of tax money into the treasury.
U.S. Continues Arms Buildup
Defense observers today regarded these as solid inferences that could be drawn from further study of President Johnson's State of the Union speech Wednesday night.
WASHINGTON—(UPI)The U.S. military buildup in South Viet Nam will continue to gain speed and the hourglass may be running out on the bombing pause in the North.
WASHINGTON—(UPI)The recent reduction in Communist activity in South Viet Nam brought some hope here today the Hanoi government might be getting ready to cut back military operations as a prelude to possible peace talks.
There were increasing indications the American troop commitment to the Viet Nam war could equal the peak strength deployed during the Korean War.
Administration officials from President Johnson down declined to express an opinion, however.

LBJ Names Negro to Cabinet
WASHINGTON—(UPI)—Robert C. Weaver was destined today to become the nation's first Negro cabinet member. There were no signs of Senate opposition to his nomination by President Johnson as head of the new Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
Johnson announced at his news conference Thursday he had chosen Weaver, 58, for the $35,000-a-year post. He has held the $30,000 job of head of the Housing and Home Finance Agency HHFA since 1961.

Rock Chalk Singers Named
Allen Purvis, Topeka sophomore and Rock Chalk In-Between-Acts manager, announced the selection last night of nine dancers and ten singers for this year's In-Between-Acts. Sixty people auditioned for the roles.
Purvis named Sharon Herowitz, Shawnee Mission junior, as choreographer for the production. Miss Herowitz was a dancer in last year's cast. He also appointed Sandy Gresham, Munice senior, to be in charge of the singers.

In a meeting last night of the newly named singers and dancers, Bill Boulware, Prairie Village senior and Rock Chalk producer, gave a "pep talk" on the importance of hard work and the limited time to prepare for the production. He announced that rehearsals will be six days a week for two to three hours each starting Feb. 7.
PURVIS COMMENTED THAT this year's In-Between-Actions will have a different slant. "We are trying to link the theme of the acts together to give the illusion of continuous action. The theme will be kept a surprise," he explained.

KATIE MINTEER, St. Louis, Mo., sophomore; Dwayne Tiezen, Newton freshman; and Barbara Burnett, Parsons freshman, have been writing the script since September. They are hampered in that In-Between-Actions are not supposed to be better than the other skits, but they are trying anyway.
When KU opened in 1866, it had only three professors and 55 students. One of the professors, Francis Huntington Snow, taught mathematics and natural sciences even though his training was in theology and ancient languages.
Even the bottom of a Volkswagen looks funny.
We are speaking to you from underneath a Volkswagen.
Not much to look at, is there?
Too bad that big sheet of steel is in the way. Otherwise, you could see all of the Volkswagen's works.
But don't feel cheated.
That sheet of steel is the Volkswagen's bottom. No other car has anything quite like it.
The steel bottom protects the VW's vital parts against everything. Including time. It's one of the big reasons why VWs last so long.
The VW's bottom wasn't an afterthought. It's part of the design. The car is sealed to the bottom and the bottom is sealed to the car.
Which is why a VW is practically air-tight. And why some of the rumors you've heard about floating Volkswagens aren't just rumors.
The VW's funny-looking top and funny-looking bottom have one thing in common: they both work to make the Volkswagen as good as it is.
It would be easy enough to change them.
But we think we'll leave bad enough alone.
