Property tax lid bill killed in Senate
TOPEKA, (UPI) - The Kansas Senate resurrected the property tax lid bill of Gov. Robert Docking which was killed by the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee Tuesday morning.

Steineger said support for his motion was the result of "bipartisan effort."
In effect, the successful motion overrules the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee's 6-4 vote Tuesday morning to kill the bill, which a senate Republican caucus has committed itself to pass.

"Quality is what education is all about," he added. "Desegregation is vital to that quality . . . we must not permit the controversy about the progress toward desegregation to detract from the shared purpose of all—better education for the poor of every race and color."

The three other awards are made available by the Standard Oil (Indiana) Foundation.
The Fink Award will be given to someone who has been a full time faculty member for at least three years, less than 50 years of age, and below the rank of full professor, Heller said. The Standard Oil Foundation does not carry such stipulations.
Nominations may be made by any faculty member or student, or by schools, departments, or groups of individuals. It would be helpful to the selection committee if the letters of nomination included as much specific supporting material as possible.

Nixon cautioned against letting his proposals get bogged down in the present controversy over school desegregation, in which his civil rights critics have accused him of condoning delays
Touching on the sensitive church-state issue, Nixon said he would ask the institute to study what could be done to preserve the nation's private and parochial schools, which he said are closing at the rate of one a day.
