1973 Kansas school equalization aids minority districts
KU economist Darwin Dakoff testified before a Topeka legislative committee that Kansas 18 districts with Black and minority students saw increased state aid after the 1973 equalization act. Urban districts rose from 201 to 433 per pupil, minority districts from 211 to 340, while rural gains were smaller. He noted wealth based on property taxes, not income, shapes aid and warned the income tax rebate favors wealthier small districts over poorer large districts. Callahan of the Legislators' Education Action Project also spoke at the two day session.

Libel suit against Ottawa Herald tossed from court
H. Michael Nichols sought 100000 dollars from the Ottawa Herald and publisher Robert B. Wellington but the case was dismissed in District Court. Judge William P. Meek granted summary judgment after a 30 minute hearing, ruling the article about the McGuire murder case was a fair public-interest report and not a tort. Nichols, representing himself, was ordered to pay court costs.

Harvesting Stopped By Heavy Rains Across Kansas
In Kansas the wheat harvest largely halted by weekend rains. Central and eastern areas face flooding and delays, with some fields unharvestable for four to five days. Farmers fear full crop loss in flood regions and 5 to 25 percent losses elsewhere due to reduced test weight and spoilage.
