Bingo Goes To Court in Kansas Supreme Court
The Kansas Supreme Court will hear a bingo test case at the earliest possible docket date. Atty. Gen. Curt Schneider asked for the soonest hearing on Sedgwick County District Court’s ruling that country clubs and other Class A private clubs cannot operate gambling bingo under the new state law. The case, started by Sedgwick County Atty. Keith Sanborn, challenges whether private clubs fall under the amendment allowing nonprofit organizations to operate gambling bingo.

Women Get Nod In Senate Vote
The Senate approved admitting women to the U S military service academies by voice vote as part of a $30.3 billion authorization bill. The House had already adopted a similar amendment. Senator Hathaway defended the move as ensuring top training for women, not expanding combat roles, with discretion on accommodations and training. Senate debates also touched on weapons programs and missiles, but the main action focused on academy admissions for West Point Annapolis and Colorado Springs.

The May unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent, a postwar high, while total employment also rose for the second straight month totaling 84.4 million workers. Analysts call this a positive sign despite lingering highs and capitalized by gains in agricultural and teen employment and a 0.4 percent rise in wholesale prices.

Investigations in New Orleans and Houston reveal bribery, short weighing, and substandard grain amid talk of organized crime involvement. Humphrey plans a June 19 hearing to scrutinize exports, with others urging federalization or system improvements.
