Mrs. Nelle H. Stevens notes that Kansas teachers who retired before 1971 receive far lower pensions than those retired after 1971 under House Bill 1488.

Washington Merry-Go-Round reports that ITT lobbyist Dita Beard claims a private settlement with Attorney General John Mitchell fixed the Nixon anti-trust case. A memo she authored and later threatened with destruction allegedly ties the payoff to ITT's pledge of up to 400000 for the 1972 Republican convention in San Diego. The memo’s authenticity was acknowledged by Beard after presentation to reporters. Beard later met a reporter to explain the document as ITT security officers shredded files to block subpoenas.
Mrs Beard defends a private settlement with ITT tied to a GOP convention pledge she says Mitchell advised while meeting at the Kentucky governor’s mansion during a May reception. She alleges Nixon pressure and White House influence, while officials deny the story.

It concludes that if teachers deserve fairness, others with public pensions do too, underscoring broader inequities.
