HERBERT HOOVER Clings to life...
Hoover's Condition Considered Grave
NEW YORK—(UPI)—Former President Herbert Clark Hoover clung tenaciously to life today but his doctors said the outlook was "grave."
The 90-year-old 31st President of the United States slipped nearer to death and entered a state of "unresponsiveness," his physicians said.
A 9:30 CST medical bulletin said Hoover had a comfortable night and his blood pressure, pulse and heart rate were stable. It said the gastro-intestinal bleeding had stopped but that the loss of blood from the massive hemorrhage he suffered last Saturday had resulted in toxic products in Hoover's bloodstream.
THE BULLETIN SAID efforts were being made to clear the toxic elements but that the chances of this were not good.
The text of the bulletin read:
Mr. Hoover had a comfortable night but remains seriously ill. His blood pressure, pulse and heart rate remain stable. The gastrointestinal bleeding has been arrested and his blood count has been restored to normal.
"However, the massive loss of blood into his gastro-intestinal tract has resulted in the accumulation of toxic products in his bloodstream which have induced a state of unresponsiveness. Efforts have been undertaken to clear his system of these toxic elements but the outlook is grave."
Both of Hoover's sons, former Under Secretary of State Herbert Hoover Jr., and Allen Hoover, were at their father's bedside.
Another medical bulletin was scheduled for 2 p.m. CST but the physicians said immediate announcement would be made if there was marked deterioration in Hoover's condition.
Reds Give Peace Pledge; Military Chief Killed
MOSCOW — (UPI) — Soviet Communist Party Chief Leonid I. Brezhnev pledged today the Kremlin's new rulers would follow a policy of peaceful coexistence with the West, unity in the Communist world, and a better life for the Russian people.
But Brehznev, in his first public appearance since the fall of Nikita S. Krushchev, made no threats against the West. He rattled no rockets.
WHILE MOSCOW rang with celebration Marshal Sergey Biryuzov, Russia's highest military officer, and 28 others were killed today when a Soviet Ilyushin 18 airliner crashed into a mountain as it was preparing to come in for a landing at Belgrade, Yugoslavia.
There were no survivors.
There we were. Biyuzuov, 60, was chief of staff of the Soviet armed forces and first deputy minister of defense. He was also a member of the central committee of the Communist Party and holder of the "Hero of the Soviet Union" medal.
HE WAS LEADING a delegation to ceremonies marking the 20th anniversary of Belgrade's liberation from the Nazis. All other passengers aboard were veterans of that campaign.
The new Communist Party Chief speaking from Khrushchev's old spot atop Lenin's tomb, also refrained from making any attacks on the Chinese Communists. He promised, instead, to work to repair the rift that has embittered relations between Russia and Red China.
Brezhnev and new Premier Alexei Kosygin appeared at a Red Square rally honoring the three cosmonauts who orbited the earth for 24 hours last week in the Soviet "space bus" named Sunrise.
KHRUSHCHEV WAS nowhere to be seen during the festivities. While he was still in office last Monday, he had promised the three spacemen a Moscow welcome "greater than the force of gravity."
Brezhney hailed the space bus flight as "remarkable." He said the

KU Booms OU
Victory Brings House Down
By Suellen McKinley
KU's one-point victory over Oklahoma Saturday "brought down the house."
It brought thousands of fans cheering down to the field in a wild stampede that has probably not been witnessed since the days buffalo roamed the Kansas plains.
IN THE MIDST of the hugging and shouting one boy suddenly realized something was wrong. He looked at the girl] he had his arms around and said, "Say, you're not my date!"
Following Mike Johnson's two point conversion for a KU win, and shouted, and "waved the KU fans laughed and cried, jumped and shouted, and "waved the wheat" for joy.
The jubilation began early in the game, when Gale Sayers snared the opening kickoff and dodged the OU defense for 93 yards to a touchdown.
One KU student seemed flab-
bergasted by all the noise.
THE NINE SENIOR cheerleaders led the cranberry-clad Class of '65 in some original "It's Our Day" cheers; and the senior section, not wanting to go un-noticed, velled back.
After the first play, however, it seemed like KU wasn't going to have much more to shout about. Okla, scored 14 points in the second quarter, and KU was getting stopped by the Okla, defense.
"Ive never heard a crowd yell like this," he said.
The "seniorleaders" had made a spectacular entrance before the game began on motorcycles and in a laundry firm truck, shouting and blowing horns.
Yet, even when the going got rough there was a lot of noise from the KU student section.
Weather
The weather bureau predicts a hard freeze tonight with temperatures in the twenties. Winds will diminish tonight.
During half-time, KU fans were still sounding optimistic. They sent up big cheers for the KU marching band's performance and applauded the SUA Carnival Queen candidates as they were driven around the field in convertibles.
One senior cheerleader was wearing a Marlon Brando motorcycle outfit; two others, pseudobaseball uniforms; and another was costumed in his version of "Arabia of Lawrence" with a sweatshirt and a shiek's headpiece.
When the Kansas players returned after the half-time ceremonies they also were greeted by more cheers.
THE CHEERS TURNED to boo's and screams for revenge when a fight started down on the field during the last seconds of the game.
The revenge was Bobby Skahan's as he hurled himself forward for a touchdown while the clock ran out.
cosmonauts landed on the ground as easily as if they had been in a conventional passenger plane.
The "inauguration day" for the new Soviet leaders began at Moscow's Vnukovo-2 airport where the Kremlin leaders gathered to give hugs and kisses, in the Russian manner, to the space heroes—Pilot Col. Vladimir Komarov, 37, space engineer Konstantin Feoktistov, 38, and Dr. Boris B. Yegorov, 27, medical member of the space team.
Crowds lined the streets from the airport to Red Square, but observers noted less enthusiasm than during previous cosmonaut parades.
BREZHNEV stood atop Khrush-
chev's old place on Lenin's Tomb and gave the new Kremlin line, which differs little from the ousted premier's policies.
Western observers said that except for the section about Communist unity, the lack of slaps at Red China, and the absence of jokes, the speech could well have been written by Khrushchev.
Brezhny made no direct reference to Khrushchev, but his absence spoke for him. Russians in the crowd talked about it.
Wiles, Avery Support School Finance Plan
Khruschev was reported to have fallen from power partly because he acted too independently at times, not consulting his fellow Communist chieftains.
Commitment to the Kansas School Foundation Finance Plan for state aid to education was confirmed today by the Republican and Democratic candidates for governor. The statements were made at the Fourth general session of the Kansas Association of School Administrators meeting on campus.
"We are presently saddling 77 percent of an 120 percent increase in education cost on a segment of the economy which produces only 25 percent of the income." Harry G. Wiles. Democratic candidate said
G. Wiles, Democratic candidate said. Speaking to the administrators' conference which began Saturday and ends today, Republican gubernatorial candidate William H. Avery said, "I am completely opposed to the severance and earning taxes for financing education. I'm in hopes that one-half of one percent increase in sales tax would raise sufficient funds, although we have no guarantee of that.
"THE PROBLEM is to reduce the burden on the ad valorem property tax, one way or another. Even a withdrawn tax, if it brought in more than a few thousand dollars, would be good." Avery said.
Wiles noted that Kansas is the center of an area of lagging growth with a family income 20 percent below the U.S. average.
"KANSAS HAS let its education grow in a patchwork manner," the Democratic candidate said. "We need to learn to use our internal, human resources. We've got to be more concerned about distributing state aid to education to places where it's needed, proportionately." Wiles said.
Both candidates said they would recommend, if elected, the School Foundation Finance Plan to their legislatures. The Republican candidate stressed funding up to 40 per cent. Wiles, however, said he is more insistent that the foundation plan be fully funded."
"WE MUST do away with the inequality of this burden and guarantee all students the same quality of education, regardless of their G. Wiles, Democratic candidate said.
"I have been criticized." Avery said, "for stating a 40 percent objective instead of a flat 40 per cent. I say this because I know the delicate relationship which exists between a chief executive and his legislature. Adjustments have to be made on both ends if any degree of cooperation is to be had, and any success." Avery said.
"Our income and inheritance taxes are fairly low," Wiles said, "and
WILES SAID Kansas can easily look to adjustments in income and inheritance tax brackets for additional finance for education.
Dr. Saul M. Siegel, president of the Kansas Psychological Association and visiting faculty member in the KU human relations department, will speak tonight at the annual dinner of the Douglas County Association of Mental Health.
many other special taxes can be looked into. North Carolina, for instance, has a soft drink tax. I'm also in favor of increasing our withholding tax, since right now we're losing four to six million a year on it."
The annual dinner will be at 7 p.m. today at the Little Banquet Restaurant, 711 West 23rd Street.
Chief psychologist in adult clinical services at Topeka State Hospital, Dr. Siegel is also a faculty member of the Menninger School of Psychiatry in Topeka and a member of the Governor's council on Mental Retardation.
Dr. Siegel received his B.A. M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Buffalo University in New York.
