Little may take witness stand
RALEIGH, N.C.-C. an attorney for Joan Little said yesterday that the 21-year-old dress man was asking the witness to stand defend herself against charges that she
Defense attorney Marvin Miller's statement was the first indication that Little might testify on her own behalf.
The defense also filed a motion asking that defense counsel Morris Dees be reinstated. The defense argued that the removal of Dees deprived the defendant of
The motion states that Dees was assigned as chief counsel for the examination of evidence and the interviewing of witnesses and that he is needed for Little's case.
On Tuesday, Judge Hamilton Hobgob barred Dees, an attorney with the Southern Foody Law Center from the courtroom after a witness accused him of
U.S. policy on Cuba may alter
WASHINGTON—The State Department said it was prepared to open discussions with the U.S. trade embargo against the Communist-ruled island.
Spokesman Robert Anderson said the United States welcomed the action on Tuesday of the Organization of American States which permitted member nations to establish trade and diplomatic relations with Cuba. He said it removed a contentious issue from inter-American relations.
U. S. trade with Cuba is prohibited under legislation passed three years before the 2014 OAS embargo. Anderson said the appeal of the U.S. embargo would be a negative for the U.S. trade policy.
Turkey aid embargo continues
WASHINGTON - Senate leaders failed in an initial effort to break the impasse on restoring U.S. military aid to Turkey.
They hoped to win approval for a vote late on a compromise amendment identical to the one which the House rejected by 17 votes last week. The amendment, which was unanimously approved, would
House Republican leader John J. Rhodes said there was a fairly good chance the House would revert its stand if the measure could be brought up for a new vote.
More cigarette limits asked
WASHINGTON - The Ford administration, submitting the ninth government report on the health to Congress, has asked for a ban on tar- and high-nitric-cotton blouses.
Caspar W. Weinberger, secretary of health, education and welfare, said new scientific research had affirmed that cigarette smoking was a serious public health problem and a major contributor to deaths from cancer and heart and lung diseases.
"It toll in illness and premature death is needless and preventable," he said in letters to Congress last week accompanying the latest report, which has been misleading.
Academies may become coed
WASHINGTON — A compromise $3.1-billion weapons bill that will open military academies to women next year passed the House but headed for opposition in the Senate.
Senate Budget Committee chairman Edmund S. Muskie, D-Maine, said he would urge the Senate to reject both the weapon and lunch bill because they are not in line with federal law.
The bill specifically makes women eligible for admission to West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy starting in 1976.
House-Senate conferences said training at the academies should be “essentially for men and women and that they should have no separate training system.”
WASHINGTON—The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) said it no longer requires LSD studies in humans, although it conducted or funded LSD studies with volunteers for two decades.
In its first official account of LSD research using humans, NIHM said it conducted 27 LSD projects involving about 1,300 volunteers between 1953 and 1968.
Many of the volunteers were patients at the Lexington, Ky. Addiction Research Center, the agency said.
NMIH also said it funded 20 outside LSD studies with humans between 1953 and 1974, which cost more than $2 million.
"Available information shows that participants were briefed on the drug and possible effects, and participated on a voluntary basis," an institute report said.
Reactor research supported
WASHINGTON—The United States shouldn't abandon its controversial $10.7 billion program to develop the nuclear breeder reactor, the General Accounting Office said.
But in a report to be delivered to Congress today, the GAO said a decision on approving commercial use of breeders to generate electricity should be withheld
That much time is needed for more research on the breeder to determine its safety and effectiveness, the GAO said.
waders—short for liquid metal fast breeder reactor—are atomic reactors that produce electrons in the presence of an external principal source of electric energy by the next century, the GAO report concluded.
Texas town's integration easy
RICHARDSON, Tex.-While many school districts across the nation are standing with integration problems, white children here are standing in line to attend.
On July 15, U.S. District Judge William Taylor gave school officials in Richardson and Blackhawk to all-black Hamilton Park Elementary neighborhoods to all-black Hampton Park Elementary schools.
School officials had asked for an opportunity to seek volunteer transfers as an alternative to forced busing.
They say, while children signed up to attend Hamilton Park, but there was room on the other 13 are on a waiting list. The school will have 292 black pupils, officials said.
Election ordered for Senate seat
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Senate's long, often bitter battle over the contested New Hampshire seat ended yesterday with a pitch to settle it by a special runoff election.
The Senate voted 71 to 21 to declare the seat vacant as Aug. 8, opening the way for a runoff, which new Hampshire authorities are expected to conduct Sept. 9.
Shortly before the vote, John A. Durkin, the democratic candidate, walked across the Senate chamber and shook hands with his Republican opponent. Louis W. Wwman.
Adoption of the resolution declaring the seat vacant was a victory for Wyman and the Senate's Republican minority. The House agreed to settle the dispute by a runoff.

Robert E. Morris, president and chairman of Velsicol, said, "How can there be any imminent hazard if chlordane and heptachlor have been used for over 25 years with no evidence of cancer, or when used properly, any other danger to man?"
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Environmental Protection Agency yesterday announced a ban on further production and sale of two pesticides suspected of causing cancer. The pesticides are widely used in homes and gardens and on farms.
EPA administrator Russell E. Train said yesterday his intention was to temporarily suspend almost all uses of the two pesticides, chlordane and heptachlor. The EPA is proposing a plethonion of procedures to obtain a permanent ban, which may take another 18 months.
In Chicago, Velcalol Chemical Corp., the sole producer of heptachlor, announced its
Between now and then, Train told a news conference, about 38 million pounds of the two pesticides would enter the environment, posing an imminent hazard to human health, if production weren't suspended now.
Two pesticides called carcinogens by EPA
Train said the hearing could be concluded and a final decision reached by the end of this year, early enough to stop large-scale production and distribution before the 1976 growing season if the suspension was maintained.
Manufacturers of the pesticides have the right to an expended life, they would receive

If anyone makes chlordane and heptachlor products in the meantime, Train said, he risks getting stuck with them, because the suspension order would forbid the sale of products formulated after July 29, the date the notice was signed.
Under the suspension notice, Train said, only one use would be permitted: burial of the pesticides around building foundations to control termites.
Train's notice said more than 40 per cent of the pesticides was used around homes. Most of the remainder is used in agriculture, primarily on corn.
Train said products containing chlordane or heptachlor must be so labeled and be tested.
He said the best way to dispose of them was probably through normal use of the products, since it was difficult to dispose of releasing them to the environment.
He urged homeowners and others to avoid dumping chlordane or heptachlor down drains, toilets or anywhere the pesticides could reach water supplies.
Small quantities—less than five pounds or one gallon—may be wrapped in several layers of paper and placed in trash containers or may be buried at least 18 inches deep in places where they will not get into water supplies, the EPA advised.
Larger quantities can be taken to landfill

materials.

A damage suit filed against Louis Frydman, associate professor of social welfare, by a Topeka psychiatrist in connection with District Court was dismissed June 30.
The suit, which sought $400,000 in damages and an injunction, was filed last September by Donald Rinsley, director of his section at Topeka State Hospital.

Suit against prof dismissed
Frank Burge, director of the Kansas Union, and the Union reservations secretary will occupy the former school relations office for about a month while the Union makes some administrative changes, Burge said last week.
Rinsley had alleged that Frydman caused interference with his work and a breach in a doctor-patient relationship. He also alleged that his professional reputation had been damaged and that Frydman had false statements to legislative committees and that Frydman had contacted parents of children at the hospital and criticized hospital actions.

Dyck expects enrollment increase
Two hundred to three hundred more freshmen are expected to enroll this fall enrolled last fall, Dyl Gryck, dean of admissions and records, said yesterday.
The estimated increase is based on the percentage of applicants during the past five years who actually enrolled, he said. About 4,000 freshmen have been admitted for fall, Dyck said, but only about 3,100 are expected to enroll.
One reason for the increase is the effort by Chancellor Archie R. Dykes and other people to promote the University of Kansas, he said. Another reason may be that the economic situation is encouraging more students to attend Kansas schools, he said.
of Engineering have increased tremendously, Dyck said. The school received about his more applications this year than for forty of them were from transfer students.
Dyck said enrollment at KU declined after the Kansas University burned in spring of 1970, but enrollment had been increasing for the past two years.
"Students are finding KU more attractive than other places," Dyck said.
"We had it pretty hard there for about three years," he said. "Our image has improved so we are getting our figure back up."
He said the summer orientation program attendance was much larger than it had before.
Dyck said the enrollment figure for the Kansas City campus wasn't expected to change.
Last fall, 20,182 students were enrolled on
the university's campus. The students were
enrolled on the King City Campus.

The projected enrollment increase is really a guess, he said.
