Republicans favor aid to collegiates
By JAY COOPER
College students are a main concern of the Republican Party, according to Larry Winn Jr., Republican candidate for Congress from the third Kansas district.
Winn spoke to the Collegiate Young Republicans in Dyche Auditorium last night.
He spoke on the educational responsibility of the government to students, with regard to costs of tuition, books and other fees, including living expenses.
Winn said he supported the Republican proposal of a federal income tax credit for college students and their parents.
ONE AMENDMENT to President Johnson's tax adjustment bill would have provided a $325 maximum tax credit. This amendment, according to Winn, was defeated mainly by the Democrats in the Senate.
Winn said, "A recent public opinion poll shows that 70 per cent of the American people favor a tax credit to help meet the cost of college education, with only 17 per cent opposed. The people are letting the Democratic controlled Senate of these United States turn it down."
On the topic of Republican work for education, the Leawood builder and developer cited the National Defense Education Act of 1958. He said this program has assisted many students with loans which have enabled them to attend college.
ANOTHER point Winn brought out is the aim of the GOP to help bring salary levels and retirement programs for teachers up
to the level of those of other professionals.
The final session will be held in the Kansas Union.
During a question and answer session the KU graduate said of lowering the voting age to 18, "If an 18 year old can fight, drive a car and go to college he should be allowed to vote. Some people 60 to 65 years old can't read, but they can vote."
Gov. William H. Avery and his Democratic opponent Robert B. Docking, Arkansas City, will appear here at noon Monday, before the final session of the Kansas Association of School Administrators.
Warren K. Agee, dean of KU's School of Journalism, will be a panelist on "The Superintendent and Communications Media." Other panel members will be Alan D. Moyer, managing editor of the Wichita Eagle, and Thad M. Sandstrom, vice-president and general manager of WIBW-TV of Topeka.
Candidates to appear here Monday
The gubernatorial candidates will be questioned on "State Policies and Guidelines for Kansas Schools." "Kansas Schools in a New Era," the conference theme, recognizes the changes created by the unifications of districts the past two years.
ON QUESTIONS pertaining to Viet Nam, Winn, said he isn't in favor of losing American boys there. He compared it with football saying, "If the ball can't be moved on the ground, then deceptive moves must be used."
Winn said he would vote against tax increase, even if "the President comes before Congress with tears hanging down his cheeks, and saying money is needed for the boys in Viet Nam." He said if Johnson drops his "Great Society" programs such as the "War on Poverty," the Job Corps and the Waste Program, then maybe he'll vote for an increase in taxes.
Explaining the deceptive approach, Winn said the Viet Cong supply lines should be stopped-up and if that doesn't work then the United States should stop trading with countries aiding the enemy.
WEATHER
The U.S. Weather Bureau predicts partly cloudy to cloudy skies today and Saturday. Winds becoming northerly 15 to 20 miles an hour. Scattered showers and thunderstorms. A little cooler tomorrow. High today in the 70s. Low tonight upper 30s. Precipitation probability about 50 per cent tonight and 5 per cent tomorrow.
On the President's trip to Asia Winn said, "If Johnson's trip to Manila is a sincere attempt at peace talks, then it is fine. But if it is a political move and a mockery he should be torn apart and run out."
IN ONE OVERALL statement Winn said, "Someone's got to lasso those Texas birds, and I want to help."
A program which Winn feels should be re-evaluated is the farm program. He said, "Some farmers aren't aware yet that they are getting stepped on by the government, and something should be done about this."
Winn said he is against Title IV of the new Civil Rights Bill. Forced housing is different than fair housing. He favors fair housing, because it can be done with no commotion and with true meaning.

CONCERNING the Kansas Loyalty Oath, Winn said his personal opinion is, "that they are making a mountain out of a molehill. Both sides are being pretty silly."
