Baker Case Open, Peace Force to Cyprus, Russians Down Jet—
(Continued from page 2)
MOST OBSERVERS saw the election as a defeat for Goldwater. At any rate, both Rockefeller and Goldwater were campaigning in California for the June 2 primary, considered the most important of the presidential primaries.
Early last week, it appeared that the Senate investigation of Bobby Baker was nearing an end. But, an accountant said his name was forged on Baker's federal income tax returns.
Now, the investigation promises to continue a few more weeks, depending upon how much damaging evidence Democrats and Republicans feel they can withstand in this election year.

Canadian troops numbering 1,000 were sent to strife-torn Cyprus as the UN Security Council attempted to avert an all-out war between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.
SECRETARY GENERAL U Thant hopes to have a 7,000-man peace force in Cyprus in the near future. Just as plans for the peace force were being announced, Turkey warned it would intervene unless a cease-fire was put into effect. Archbishop Makarios, prime minister of Cyprus, declared that Turkish intervention would mean war
A U.S. RB-66 plane and its crew of three was shot down by a Russian fighter over Communist East Germany. By week's end, U.S. officials were attempting to determine where the Russians were holding the three crewmen as Communist officials in East Berlin refused to give any information on the condition on or chances for release of the airmen.
THE UNITED STATES said the plane strapted into hostile territory. But the Soviet Union said it would release the Air Force officers if the U.S. government admits it ordered them to fly over East Germany as spies.
In Cambodia, the American and British embassies and the U.S. Information Service library were sacked at Phnom Penh by rioting Cambodians. Reasons for the well-planned riot were not clear.
Malcolm W. Browne, the Associated Press' correspondent in Saigon, said the riots may have been meant to coincide with secretary McNamara's visit to Viet Nam. There had been earlier reports that some of the recent fighting

between South Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces had taken place on the Cambodian frontier.
AS FOR ROBERT McNamara's trip to Viet Nam, it was his third trip there in five months to see what could be done about the war.
Back from his trip McNamara told President Johnson increased U.S. aid was needed in the war against Communist guerrillas.
In Kansas, the biggest story was evidence of declining support for Barry Goldwater for the Republican nomination. In a first District GOP convention at Dodge City, uncommitted delegates were elected, an action which led to the belief that the Kansas delegation to this summer's convention will be uninstructed.
In Congress, the House gave a smashing defeat to an administration pay increase bill which included a $10,000-a-year pay increase for members of Congress.
The civil rights bill started what promises to be a long journey in the Senate last week. Debate last week concerned a motion to take up the bill for consideration. Southern opponents of the bill are resisting efforts by supporters of the bill to debate the bill without first referring it to the Judiciary Committee.
In sports, it was basketball tournament time. As a result of the biggest tournaments—the NCAA Regionals—Kansas State will meet UCLA and Duke will play Michigan in the NCAA championships in Kansas City this weekend.
Claude Siton of the New York Times warned, "... if Congress delays in providing guidelines along which solutions may be worked out, there may be a tendency to take the problem into the
streets rather than wait for the orderly processes of litigation and legislation to take their course."
PRESIDENT JOHNSON promised aid to thousands of families who suffered losses in the worst Ohio Riiver Valley flood in 20 years. Flood waters were receding by week's end, but the flood left in its wake damage estimated at $50 million, and nine deaths.
