Compiled from UPI Dispatches GOP Rallies Behind Bliss
Warring factions of the Republican Party rallied today behind Ray C. Bliss, an old pro from Ohio, as the man to restore peace in the GOP and to rebuild it for victory.
There were a few growls from supporters of Barry M. Goldwater, the defeated presidential nominee, but nearly all GOP National Committee members and other party leaders applauded. Some indicate that they expect Bliss to perform political miracles when he becomes Republican national chairman on April 1.
Goldwater bowed to the inevitable yesterday and announced from his Phoenix, Ariz., home that Dean Burch, the controversial national chairman he picked last July, would resign, effective April 1. He nominated Bliss for the job and reported that former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Richard M. Nixon concurred.
LBJ Seeks Immigration Change
President Johnson wants Congress to enact a sweeping new immigration law gradually abolishing the present quota system based on race and nationality.
The President planned to send to Capitol Hill today a proposed new law that would give preference to immigrants with special skills and help reunite families separated under the present system.
Johnson's proposal was understood to be similar to the immigration law revision proposed by the late President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The Kennedy plan died in Congress.
Malaysia Steps Up Military
Deputy Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak of Malaysia today announced the immediate establishment of two new military training centers to meet the threat of aggression from Indonesia.
Razak said after a cabinet meeting that 40,000 Malaysian volunteers will be given small arms and designated as a land defense corps to guard coastal areas and remote islands from guerrilla landings.
The development followed earlier reports that Prime Minister Tengku Abdul Rahman has ruled out the possibility of retaliatory commando raids against Indonesia for fear of starting a full-scale war in Southeast Asia.
Saigon Factions Sounded Out
South Vietnamese Premier Tran Van Huong today began sounding out Saigon's splintered political factions for suggestions on forming a new legislature.
Huong, faced by continuing Buddhist-inspired efforts to topple his regime, also contacted military leaders to discuss qualifications for the law-making body.
Communist China today threatened to take action in South Viet Nam if the United States expands the anti-communist war there.
Speech, Drama Students Told How to Publish Textbooks
More textbooks of advanced nature are needed in our colleges today, a KU professor and a publishing company representative told speech and drama students yesterday.
Speaking to the KU Speech and Drama Research Colloquium, Wilmer Linkugel, associate professor of speech and drama, told the students, "Right now you're only interested in term papers or theses, but most of you will eventually be in the classroom and will find you have something to tell.
"We have an abundance of good, basic textbooks in our colleges, but we need more advanced ones. They are being overlooked," Professor Linkugel said.
H. HADLEY BLAND, a sales representative of the Wadsworth Publishing Company in Belmont, Calif., explained some of the technical aspects of publishing to the students.

NSF Aiding Chile Study
The National Science Foundation has awarded a science faculty fellowship for a 15-month period to James A. Clifton, assistant professor of anthropology, for study and research in Chile.
Prof. Clifton's study will concern primarily the economic and cultural development of the Mapuchi people in southern Chile. This is the largest Indian group in Chile and efforts are being made to fit them into the nation's planning for economic development.
Prof. Clifton has applied for leave of absence from October 1965 through January 1967.
He also will spend some time in Purranque, a German-Spanish community in the extreme south of Chile. This community already has made significant advances with a self-help development program with a minimum of outside assistance.
Prof. Clifton's headquarters will be the Center for Economic Planning of the University of Chile in Santiago.
Prof. Clifton has made several studies of American Indians and currently is studying the Potawatomie Indians of northeast Kansas. This work is financed by the National Science Foundation.
The procurement editor of the company, Bland explained, is a market research expert who goes to the leading colleges and locations to find out the type books which are being most sought there.
A SALES REPRESENTATIVE of the publishing company will then enter the area, find out who is best qualified to write needed articles or books, and urge these people to do so.
"If the company's editor approves either your manuscript or your plans for one, you will discuss contract terms and then sign." Bland said.

Linkugel and Bland agreed that journal articles are a good beginning for any writer.
"This is one way of establishing yourself in your field." Professor Linkugel said. "You need to make your presence known."

"THE PUBLIC TENDS to adopt the author it knows," Bland said, "and the name it has seen in print. Your class notes are an excellent start, if they are full of good, hard background." Bland said, "Get your ideas from them, then begin putting your own narrative in. If you wrote just one page every day for a year, you would have the equivalent of a 220 page book."

The actual publication of a book Bland said, involves not only the copy editing of your work for spelling, grammar and syntax, but also involves various printing companies, who bid to the publisher for the printing. Binding of the work and its cover are also handled by separate companies.
"ALWAYS KNOW ABOUT the company you will be dealing with," Bland said. "Find out what their terms will be, how much confidence the editor has in you, what the promotion and advertising on your work will be, and what the demand for books in this field really is. Don't be fooled by over-enthusiastic salesmen." Bland said.

The art work and the acquiring of copyright permissions on a book, Bland said, must be sent to the publisher in completed form with the manuscript. Copyrights can usually be obtained free or for a small fee.
"THE AMOUNT of your royalty." Bland said, "will vary. A basic text in paperback will usually yield you 13 per cent, a hardback will yield 15 per cent. Of course this depends on how well-known you are," he said.
