Dual Signing Signals Cease Fire in Vietnam
In Paris near the Arc de Triomphe, four parties including the United States and North and South Vietnam and the Viet Cong signed the final agreement ending the Vietnam War and calling for U.S. troop withdrawal. A separate session produced related documents ending diplomatic peace efforts begun in 1968, with a cease fire to begin at 7 p.m. EST. The event drew outside demonstrations while officials toasted, and the ceremony included reconciled signs and protests, with a broader national moment of prayer proclaimed by President Nixon.

Tape found in Richardson murder weapon questioned in Garrett trial
Defense moved to suppress a masking tape roll found in Mrs. Maude N. Richardson’s bathroom as evidence in the Garrett murder case. Judge Coffman overruled the suppression request noting the search was reasonable under a 1972 Kansas Supreme Court ruling. A deposition for a witness was ordered to prevent a possible failure of justice.

Legislature Sets For Wild Upcoming Week In Kansas Senate
The Kansas Legislature girds for a clash over two main measures with a two thirds Senate vote looming on Monday to repeal the ban on lotteries and Tuesday to submit a liquor by the drink amendment. If the two thirds threshold fails, House Speaker Duane McGill will block similar bills. Debate over the lottery resolution included a Droge amendment restricting it to bingo, which failed 24-13. Supporters argue amendments could violate equal protection under the 14th Amendment. The liquor measure moves from Senate Judiciary to full Senate. the week also features Gov. Docking's school finance plan, the circuit breaker tax relief program, and Bell's no fault insurance plan as the legislature maintains a rapid pace.
