Solons Showed Out of Spotlight in Kansas
Yoneka Kan Jan 28 AP Members of the state legislature, returning from weekend holiday, found they no longer held the top public spotlight as the Maj Charles A Shepard trial opened in federal court and Kansas Day events loomed. Debates on two major bills were overshadowed by the trial and last minute preparations. One bill would outlaw beer above 3.2 percent alcohol and a second would require two year compulsory military training at Kansas State College. The Fossey beer bill faced a cool reception or potential defeat as observers noted its status and the need to clarify beer laws in Kansas. Only the house was slated to act on beer, as no measure had reached the senate floor. The Skeggard McDonald bill to impose compulsory military training for all able bodied male students at Kansas State was reported favorably by both houses military affairs committees. In the senate, Senator Benson planned to seek to override a adverse committee report to make training optional. The first day of the four day Kansas Day events included a Kansas Women Lawyers Association dinner with more meetings today by the Kansas Women’s Republican Club Native Song and Daughters and the Young Republicans. Frank Knox of the Chicago Daily News was to speak at the Kansas Day banquet tomorrow.

Pettit was allowed to conduct routine duties but not his own deputies without Long’s approval. The incident ties to Huey P.
