Foundation Aid Plan Is Modified
TOPEKA AP The Kansas Legislature fought toward adjournment while reviving faltering school legislation. A modified foundation aid plan for schools emerged, with token funding atop present aid and no district losing money. Heaviest enrollments would gain, costing about 11.8 million annually. Wunsch proposed a 25 to 30 million start funded by higher liquor and cigarette taxes. Legislators also backed a school district unification bill, a livestock feed lots bill, and a land transfer for a highway building. House proposed amendments to the Kansas Constitution would exempt household goods from taxation, remove sheriff term limits, and allow up to six amendments per election. Sunday sales restrictions continued to be debated.

Reds Ready for Direct US Soviet Telecommunication Link
In Geneva the Soviet Union agreed to a direct Washington to Kremlin communications link to avert accidental nuclear war. Tsarapkin said talks could start immediately with each side setting its own endpoint. The move appears tied to a broader disarmament effort and followed U S proposals to separate the Red line from a full treaty. Separately, East German diplomacy surfaced a possible friendship pact as a step toward broader nonaggression talks. In Olympia Washington, State Sen. Reuben Knoblaugh received a constituent letter praising the Legislature’s work as the session neared its third week.
