The four members of the KU football team seen here are: back row from left, Phil Basler, Independence, Mo., sophomore; Kenny Page, Dodge City sophomore; front row from left, Steve Roach, Raytown, Mo., sophomore, Joe Shideler, Ashland, Ohio, sophomore.

Silver dollar proposal passed by Congress
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Senate and House leaders have compromised on a proposal to mint 150 million souvenir silver dollars bearing the likeness of the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower, it was announced Wednesday.
Rep. Peter Dominick, R-Colo,
said the compromise also called
for minting a larger number of
dollar coins from the copper-
nickel alloy now used for dimes and quarters.
Under the agreement, Domi-nick said, the dollars made from silver will not be circulated but will be sold at premium prices to collectors, probably for as much as $10 each. They will actually contain 40 per cent silver.
MOSCOW (UPI) — The Soviet Union Wednesday held a special news conference in which 52 prominent Soviet Jews denounced Israel and the United States, supported the Arabs and vowed they will not be "cannon fodder" for a Middle East war.
Soviets denounced Israel
An official Soviet spokesman also used the session to reiterate the Kremlin's stand on the Arab-Israeli dispute.
He said Moscow supported "the continued existence" of Israel, approved the Arab guerrilla movements to liberate occupied
territory and demanded Israeli withdrawal from the conquered lands.
Venyamin E. Dymshits, a deputy to Premier Alexei N. Kosygin and the highest Jewish officeholder in the Soviet Union, led the group which included generals, writers, scientists and actors and the most popular Soviet comedian, Arkaday I. Raikin.
Together they presented a statement that compared Israeli "aggression" to the wartime misdeeds of the Nazis.
Kansas House will vote to raise cigarette tax
TOPEKA (UPI) — The Kansas House votes today on a bill to raise the cigarette tax two cents and impose a new tax on other tobacco products such as cigars and smoking tobacco.
If the bill is approved in the roll call vote today, it will go to the senate. A senate committee earlier in the session killed a separate tobacco products tax, and it's unknown how this new house measure will fare there.
The house combination measure would raise the cigarette tax from 8 cents a pack to 10 cents a pack, and impose a new tax of 25 per cent on the wholesale price of other tobacco products.
The cigarette tax would raise an estimated $4.5 million in new tax revenue every year, and the other tax would produce another $1.5 million a year.
The bill was amended three times in floor debate Tuesday.
Israelis now use napalm
JERUSALEM (UPI) — Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan disclosed Wednesday that Israeli fighter-bombers are using napalm against Egyptian military targets. In replies to questions from the Israeli parliament, however, Dayan denied that napalm was used against the Egyptian steel plant.
GLENDALE, Calif. (UPI) — Tatzumble Ducalis was buried Wednesday in Forest Lawn Cemetery. She was 120 years old.
Oldest US person Tatzumbie Dupea dies at age of 120
Tatzumbie, the Paiute Indian name for "Beautiful Star," was believed to have been the oldest person in the United States at the time of her death Thursday.
Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs substantiate her claim that she was born on July 26,1849, in Lone Pine, Calif., although at one time, like many a woman, she claimed she was 16 years younger.
In her last years, though, she took great pride in her antiquity and told long stories that stretched from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln to that of John F. Kennedy, from the first rail line linking the East and West coasts to man's walk on the moon.
Her lifetime saw the nation engaged in six wars, from the Civil War to Vietnam. Her mother was killed in an earthquake when she was three and Tatzumbie lived with her grandmother in Death Valley for years. She moved to Los Angeles in 1870 when she was 21.
"Let me be ready when life fades away like the fading sun-set.
She wrote poetry about the Indians and one poem ends:
"My spirit will come to you with clean hands."

The most significant one reduced the handling allowance discount on rebate of cigarette taxes from $3\frac{1}{4}$ to $2\frac{1}{2}$ per cent.
Because of the 2 cent increase in the tax, all this reduction actually does is maintain the discount at its present level or $1.80 per case.

Forty-two members introduced a resolution which would ask Congress to "undertake a more determined effort" to obtain the names of American prisoners of war in North Vietnam.
"Every day bring new reports of the crimes of the Israeli military, reviving memories of the barbarity of the Hitlerites," the statement said.
"This aggression has become a component part of the imperialist, neocolonialist plot directed against the peoples of the progressive regimes of the Middle East, and closely intertwined with it are the interests of lil monopolies and international Zionist organizations."
Some 300 correspondents, both communist and non-communist, attended the news conference, called by the Soviet foreign ministry press department. It was presided over by Leonid I. Zamyatin, the department chief, and Moscow television cameras recorded it.
