Student runs sixty miles
Jay Steinberg, Glenn Ellyn, Ill,

in a Project Concern Race For
Mankind May 2 in Kansas City.
As a result of his efforts, Steinberg raised $96.50 to help finance a Navajo Indian Hospital in New Mexico. Steinberg's 60 miles also established a new record for a project Concern race.
The Race for Mankind was a charity race sponsored by the Kansas City Jaycees Project Concern. The object was to raise funds by receiving financial pledges for each mile a participant could run or walk over a 20 mile course. Each participant could obtain as many pledges as possible.
Steinberg said that about 1,000 participants entered the race and included Haskell Institute and area Kansas City high school students. He added that several seven and eight-year-olds also entered the race.
"I would estimate that about $50,000 was raised altogether," Steinberg said.

GOP blasts Docking
"It wouldn't have been possible without several redbows
HUGOTON (UPI) — State Republican chairman Don Concannon accused Democratic Gov. Robert B. Docking of "hiding from the press" Monday in seeking his third term as governor.
As a result of his 60 mile effort, Steinberg said that several people have indicated a desire to break his record. But Steinberg feels the race should be more than just competition.
Concannon said that Docking would "hide from the press until after November."
Shultz to decide on primary May 12
Rick Harman, the 1968 GOP candidate for governor; Attorney General Kent Frizzell, and Raymond J. Van Skiver of Wichita are already in the running for the GOP nomination.
TOPEKA (UPI)—State Sen. Reynolds Shultz, Rep-Lawrence, said today he will know by May 12 whether he will seek the Republican gubernatorial nomination.
The state senator indicated several weeks ago he might enter the contest for the nomination. He said finances were a problem.
Shultz said if he does decide to run, his campaign will be based on a strong "law and order" platform.
The state senator has gained statewide attention during the past year because of his criticism of militants at KU particularly those who disrupted the ROTC review there a year ago.
"I wanted my race to encourage people to strive for higher goals, not so much to compete against me," Steinberg said.

The state GOP official said, "Docking has never had the courage to hold periodic, open press conferences and once again intends to create news by press release."
Concannon said Docking, in the past few years of his administration, has made many promises but fulfilled few.
"He promised millions in tax relief and delivered pennies. He promised economy and Docking spent more than any governor in Kansas history." Concannon said. "He promised good government, and delivered cronyism. He has divided Kansas by his lack of leadership, and he has done nothing for the Democratic Party except promote Bob Docking."
Blackmun endorsed
WASHINGTON （UPI）-The AFL-CIO, whose opposition was instrumental in helping defeat the Supreme Court nominations of Clement F. Haynsworth and G. Harrold Carswell, Monday endorsed Judge Harry A. Blackmun for the job.
AFL-CIO President George Meany made it clear that the labor federation was not completely happy with Blackmun's record on labor cases, but said President Nixon "has on balance, made a responsible choice" in selecting the 61-year-old judge from the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to approve Blackmun's nomination unanimously Tuesday morning and full Senate confirmation seems swift and certain.
