Pro Team Owner Included
Alumni Nominations Made
BUD ADAMS
BUD ADAMS
Owns football team...
A former football letterman and present owner of a professional football team is one of the six nominees for the board of directors of the KU Alumni Association.
He is Kenneth S. "Bud" Adams Jr., Houston, Tex., oil operator, rancher and owner of the Houston Oilers in the American Football League.
When KU was placed on football probation for one year by the NCAA on Oct.26,1960, part of the charge stated that halfback Bert Coan was illegally lured to KU by Adams.
The NCAA charged Adams flew Coan to the College All-Star game in 1959. Both Adams and Coan insisted Coan paid for his own transportation to Chicago for the game.
Coan has said the trip had nothing to do with his decision to play football for KU.
Other nominees for the three 5-year terms on the board are Daniel A. Bolen, Salina real estate and insurance agent; John F. Eberhardt, Wichita attorney; Robert H. Malot, New York City organic chemicals manager; Stewart Newlin, Wellington editor and publisher; and Robert B. Riss, Shawnee Mission real estate operator.
Johnson's Whip Moves Congress As Legislation Marches Through
(Editor's Note: When Congress reconvened last month, few odd-makers would have even bet that early February we should pressure House approval and House approval of the civil rights bill. How it all came about is described in the following dispatch from the house staff and the UPI reporters who covered the tax and civil rights bills.)
By Frank Eleazer
WASHINGTON—(UPI)— Congress is really rolling this year, and President Johnson's whip is only part of the reason. Most lawmakers also credit the march of events.
It might seem at first glance that the House and Senate in less than six weeks already have done more than they did last year in 12 months. Actually, that isn't true. Last year's session, however slow, accomplished more than most people think.
But it is a fact that since Jan. 7, when the 88th Congress convened for its second term, both House and Senate have outraced even their most optimistic timetables.
The House Monday passed and sent to the Senate a civil rights bill that the professional "realists" around Capitol Hill earlier had predicted could tie up the House until Easter.
THE SENATE. a few days before, moving with highly un-senatorial speed, had passed and sent back with amendments an $11 billion-plus tax cut that had dragged through the House last year at a pace more appropriate for a tax boost than a cut.
On civil rights, most members think this was mainly a response to the times. It was state and local defence of federal orders. It was firehoses and bombings. It was last summer's march on Washington.
BOUSE MEMBERS overwhelmingly—the roll call vote was 290 to 130—decided it was time to implement the "equal protection"
written into the Constitution as the 14th amendment almost a century ago.
With some prodding from Johnson, all they did was hurry it up just a little, so Republican orators could pay their respects to the Great Emancipator this week without apologizing for not having matched their words with their votes.
On taxes, credit for the speed-up goes almost entirely to Johnson, although favorable action eventually was never in doubt. It was almost like old times in the Senate, except that Johnson was calling signals from the White House instead of from the Senate "Throne Room" that was his command post as Senate Democratic leader.
JOHNSON PUT AN affectionate arm on everybody concerned in his plea for fast action on taxes. But he also took shrewd advantage
Whether or not this budget-cutting really takes hold, it already has served a collateral purpose. The tax cut has been passed by both houses, and only a compromise on details remains.

Of course, there is more to the speedup in Congress than this. One factor is that congressional leaders and the members themselves have heard from home about their alleged snail's race of last year.
of a desire by conservatives to be "for" a tax cut by pledging a downhole on federal spending.
They deny it was as bad then as the editorial writers contended. But they figured the best answer anyway was to get on the ball. Besides, this is a convention and presidential election year. The Republican convention starts July 13. This year, for a change, the members would like to be through by that date.
