Klippers organized to serve as auxiliary to naval program
Women all over the nation are trying to learn more about the armed services and University of Kansas coeds are no exception.
Seventeen KU women have come together to form the Kilo Klippers, a women's auxiliary unit affiliated with the naval ROTC program.
Cheryl McElhose, Kansas City, Mo. senior, has been the key organizer of the group. She said that the Klippers will be similar in structure to Angel Flight, an honorary women's organization affiliated with Air Force ROTC, except that the officers will have no ranks.
Miss McElhose said the main function of the group would be to assist Hawk Watch, the naval ROTC social committee. They are now making plans for the Navy Ring Dance to be held May 2. They are also planning several
The measure would include the women working in Kansas who are not covered by federal antidiscrimination laws, which is about half the work force.
Women's employment bill approved by Kansas House
TOPEKA (UPI)—The Kansas House tentatively approved a bill Wednesday to bar discriminatory employment practices against women.
A final vote will be taken Thursday on the bill endorsed by four Kansas women's organizations.
It forbids any employer from discrimination in employment, wages or promotions because of sex. It does not affect differentials paid under seniority or merit systems.
The State Labor Commission is authorized to regulate the law. The additional administration is expected to cost about $22,000 a year.
One of the few opponents of the bill was Rep. David M. Mills, R-Akansas City, who noted supporters could come up with no incidents of discrimination against working women in Kansas.
"We come up here time and time again to make life more unliveable," Mills said, "especially for the business community."
Rep. Loyd Andrews, D-Wichita, said although there are no specific cases of abuse to be cited, 50 per cent of the female workers in the nation earn less than $3,000 a year. He also said 31 other states already have a law similar to the one before the legislature.
Human gene may hold answer for cancer cure, doctor says
ST. LOUIS (UPI)—A cure for cancer may be found in the human gene, a prominent researcher reported Wednesday.
Robert J. Huebner, chief of the viral carcinogenesis of the National Cancer Institute, told a news conference at St. Louis University, "We can now wipe out cancer among mice. Our job is to isolate similar genes in humans."
Genes which cause cancer are present in each person at birth, Huebner said, but are not "turned on" until later in life.
"There are certain repressers
He told a nearly empty House chamber that Douglas, 71, has "impeached himself by his own hand" and should be removed from the high court because of his views in a new book, "Points of Rebellion."
"Justice Douglas should resign from the court forthwith and if he does not resign he should be removed," Wyman said in a House speech.
Questions raised on Douglas book
WASHINGTON (UPI) — Rep. Louis C. Wyman, R-N.H., said Wednesday that Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas should "resign from the court forthwith" or be impeached because of the views he expressed in a new book.
The book predicts a young people's revolution against "the establishment," with a great risk of violence. Wyman cited a passage in which Douglas suggested that "violence may be the only effective response" in dealing with the establishment.
"Publication of this book," Wyman said, "constitutes sufficient high misdemeanor to warrant removal from the Supreme Court."

or regulators which hold down cancer, but which fail to work in old age," he added. "They fail because of overcrowding, or environmental factors, or chemical reactions, or just plain aging."
Some of the Klippers' future plans include working as ushers at University-sponsored events and various community service projects such as taking disadvantaged children from the Lawrence area to KU football games.
At present, research on cancer-causing genes has been limited to mice, hampsters, rats and chickens, he said.
TOPEKA (UPI)—Gov. Robert B. Docking met for one hour Wednesday with two officials of the U.S. Justice Department to review proposed model legislation on drug abuse.

The House also tentatively approved a bill to increase the interest rate limits on general obligation bonds from 5.5 per cent to 7 per cent and the limit on revenue bonds and temporary notes from 6 to 8 per cent.
Docking met with John W. Dean, associate deputy U.S. attorney general for legislation, and Michael R. Sonnenreich, deputy chief counsel for the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.
On Monday, Huebner received the National Medal of Science from President Nixon at the White House.
Maurice Green, director of the molecular virology institute at the University's school of medicine, is assisting Huebner with the research. About 15 other men and women with medical degrees or doctorates are working on the project at St. Louis University.
"If the same findings are true with man, it would be a giant step towards prevention and eventual cure of cancer," Huebner said.
Docking discussions drug program
Initially, he explained, researchers would probably work on treatments for persons already suffering from cancer. The eventual aim would be a preventive medicine.
The attorney general's representatives presented Docking with a copy of the proposed "Uniform State Controlled Dangerous Substances Act."
It is a sweeping program to control drug abuse within the state.
