Court reviews death penalty
WASHINGTON- The question of capital punishment returns to the Supreme Court today with the justices being asked to look beyond the individual case and rule the death penalty in all its forms unconstitutional.
Under consideration will be the case of Jesse Thurman Fowler, a North Carolina lantern, condemned to death for a shooting.
Anthony G. Amsterdam, a law professor at Stanford University who represents Fowler, will plead for abolishment of capital punishment.
Amsterdam saved an earlier client in 1972 when the court ruled 5-4 that death penalty laws then on the books were unconstitutional because they gave too much discretion to judges and juries. But they didn't rule on the death penalty itself.
There are currently 215 men and two women waiting on death row in 22 states.
Oil price contract possible
WASHINGTON—A long-term arrangement for the United States to receive oil from Saudi Arabia at a fixed price in return for industrial crude would be proposed.
"We are walking in this avenue," the Saudi petroleum minister told reporters on CBS "Face the Nation."
He declared to say what the fixed price might be, but indicated that the agreement would cover all the oil needed by the United States.
He said negotiations were under way concerning the industrialization of Saudi Arabia, which is the prime requisite for the agreement.
Postal workers begin talks
WASHINGTON - The Postal Service and its unions begin negotiations today on a labor agreement expected to influence the size of a postal rate
The Council on Wage and Price Stability will monitor the contract talks in our favour to allow inflationary increases in postal rates or heavy taxation.
The new contract, to cover more than 600,000 postal employees, is one of the largest labor agreements to be negotiated this year.
Reds continue Viet sweep
SAIGON—North Vietnamese tanks and assault troops attacked the capital province of Ham Tan at dawn today in their continuing sweep through Saigon.
Americans flew out of Saigon at an accelerated pace, encouraged by the U.S. government to leave quickly.
South Vietnamese military spokesman reported fighting was under way for Ham Tan, 75 miles east of Saigon, and one North Vietnamese tank was destroyed at a nearby district town. They had no further details of the battle.
“That is not true.” Rieke said. “The government is a good man. But that doesn't matter.”
Saturday, said the freeze was calculated to create a crisis rather than to solve a problem.
Rieke said the Med Center had simply underestimated its funding needs for this year, necessitating the request for authorization to spend extra funds. Other persons who say the hospital's requests should be more exact probably don't know the problems involved in setting up the Med Center's budget, he said.

Set 11.a.m. July 22 as the date for the sale of $22 million of revenue bonds for the Med Center expansion project. The bonds, plus 31 million in federal revenue-sharing funds, would be delivered in 1973, will pay for the construction of the new clinical facility at the Med Center.

New dean praised . . .
"We've discussed this a number of times." Young said of Brinkman's deanship candidacy, "and for two years I've known his interest in administration. He has had several opportunities to go to other schools. In fact, in the last two years he's had four specific opportunities to head departments or to be a dean."
"When I first met him several years ago, "I had the impression that he was a very gentleman," she said.
Young said Brinkman's public personality wasn't the same as the personality Brinkman shows to close friends. On campus, Brinkman is a reserved, serious man, friendly and open to students but quiet in manner.

said, "This was when he was teaching at K-State and he used to come up for one place or another. I knew he was a darn good student. I had a potential, and that's why I wanted him here."
"But after he was here we awake, I found out that he had quite a sense of humor. It's a very low-key, wry sort of thing, but he's really quite funny. He and I have developed a pattern of jokes between us, kind of insiders."
Brinkman always has been a sports enamel. At 36, he still play at a summer league.
Brinkman played second base on his Ole High School baseball team that lost in the state tournament semifinals. He played the same position for an Emporia American Legion team that lost in the state championships final in 1954. While playing for the American Legion team, he was selected All-State.
Brinkman said that if he had his life to live over again, he'd probably do the same things he has done. From the time he was a sophomore in high school at Olpe, he wanted to be associated with journalism as either a teacher or a professional journalist. He said that sometimes he wished he would have taken the professional journalism route.
"I like to write, and whatever would have come through professional journalism would have been something," Brinkman said. "sometimes I regret that I didn't go that route thinking, gosh, that's much more interesting or exciting."
"And yet, I guess I made a conscious decision when I started teaching that I would continue teaching and journalism, and I would stay close to what I consider to be the data requirement of the press. I enjoy teaching, and I stay close to a newspaper in some way."
