U S District Attorney William Farmer said his office will not offer an opinion on whether Lynn Brodrick can serve as both state highway director and national Democratic committeeman from Kansas. The issue, he noted, mainly falls under the U S Civil Service Commission. Three members of the State Highway Commission questioned if Brodrick, Governor elect George Docking's pick for the highway post, can hold both jobs without risking federal road funds.

Bowers reported at an Arizona Cancer Society seminar that a notable number of patients once deemed hopelessly ill with thyroid cancer are now alive and considered ten year cures after radioactive iodine therapy.
