Nixon promotes war negotiation
WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Nixon declared Wednesday the United States would be "flexible and generous" if Hanoi seriously decided to try to reach a negotiated end to the Vietnam War.
In his lengthy foreign policy message to Congress, Nixon offered no dramatic revelations about the prospects for peace at the Paris talks or America's strategy for disengagement. Neither did he give any hint as to how the United States would show flexibility if the Communists get serious.
He recognized that North Vietnam faces "serious and complicated issues in making the fundamental decision to seek a genuine settlement."
"The key to peace lies in Hanoi—in its decision to end the bloodshed and to negotiate in the true sense of the word." Nixon said.
The President chided the Soviet Union for failing to use its influence to get Hanoi representatives in Paris to negotiate seriously.
Feb. 19 1970 KANSAN 13
Judge Boyle, who presided over the four-day secret inquest, filed the documents with Mrs. Sophia Campos, clerk of the Dukes County Superior Court, 41 days after the proceedings ended Jan. 8.
The documents were impounded and will be picked up personally today by Edward V. Keating, clerk of the Suffok County Superior Court.
In keeping with a previous Massachusetts Supreme Court decision, the documents will remain impounded until authorities decide whether to take criminal action against Kennedy or others involved in the case.
Miss Kopechne, a 28-year-old Washington secretary, died last July when a car Kennedy was driving plunged off a bridge on nearby Chappaquiddick Island into a tidal pond.
Libraries publish reader's guides
Want to find out more about the mammoth University of Libraries system?
The University of Kansas Libraries is publishing a series called "Guide For Readers" to inform users of the library just what the KU system has to offer, said Nancy Middleton, assistant reference librarian.
Miss Middleton, who edits the notebook form pages, said that the first 20 sheets deals with the general information on the library, including library services, lending rules, card catalog, interlibrary loans, microfilm, documents, periodicals and other areas of general interest.
The pages may be found on the various desks of the library or upon request at the reference desk on the second floor.
TOPEKA (UPI) — A major overhaul of the 1967 conflict of interest law recently ruled unconstitutional may be unveiled by a senate committee next week.
Interest law ruling may be overturned
The 1967 law was ruled unconstitutional last month when Shawnee County District Court Judge David Prager termed it "an arbitrary and unreasonable classification and discrimination" that denied equal protection of the laws.
Prager was referring to the law's exclusion of state legislators who are attorneys or certified public accountants.
The contemplated amendment would also require an additional disclosure of interest statement to be filed before planned appearances before state officials or agencies.
The sub-committee will also recommend broadening the contents of the required statement itself, to include amount of payment, how paid, and who by.
McCormack support voted
WASHINGTON (UPI) — House Democrats today voted their continued support of speaker John W. McCormack.
At a closed party caucus they rejected, 192 to 23, a proposed resolution of "no confidence" in the 78-year-old speaker, offered by Rep. Jerome R. Waldie, D-Calif.
Waldie had anticipated his liking. Despite criticism of the leadership by many of the party's younger liberals, most of Mc-
Cormack's critics said this was not the time or way to take on the speaker.
The Democratic Study Group (DSG), an organization of more than 100 party liberals including most of the younger members, offered the caucus another approach to the problems evolving from age and the House seniority system.
They proposed to set up a committee to study the seniority system—which automatically elevates to committee chairmanships
majority members with the longest tenure—and to report on possible alternatives.
That proposal will be taken up at the next caucus.
Bill killed by committee
Waldie said his aim was not to topple McCormack now but to draw national attention to the House and to stimulate his colleagues to change the system.
TOPEKA (UPI) — The House Federal and State Affairs Committee Wednesday killed a bill to repeal the Kansas Cultural Arts Commission.
