Fradulent Candidates Attract GEC Attention In Kansas
The Governmental Ethics Commission plans to review suspected campaign filing fraud by Kansas state candidates. Executive secretary Lynn Hellebust said patterns in reports prompt audits over months, with staff-led inquiries supplementing outside complaints. Court action last week against Matt Green for failing to file reports reinforces the commission’s enforcement role as seven hearings proceed and about 40 cases await evaluation. Tom Hart, listed as an American Party candidate, missed a hearing over failure to name a treasurer and file reports.

Defense Dept Urges Wartime Draft Plan for Mobilization
The Defense Department proposed that President Carter create a standby wartime draft system with a 20 year olds lottery in peacetime, 66 area offices, 1,700 guards and reservists trained for wartime duty, and review panels to grant deferments. The plan foresees 650,000 trained men within six months of mobilization and cites potential 450,000 casualties to be replaced, while remaining unfit for peacetime use.
