Resignation of Campaign Aide Dominates Senate Bid Remarks
John M. Simpson, a Kansas Democrat and frontrunner for the U.S. Senate nomination, refused to discuss the sudden departure of campaign manager Robert L. Kennedy. Simpson defended his stance on Carter's grain embargo, noting farmers bear the burden, and said Kennedy left to focus on his law practice and volunteer work. A search for a replacement continues as Simpson reports funding concerns and a brief pause in operations.

Small Royalty Owners May Get Tax Credit
About 100000 Kansas royalty owners could dodge the oil windfall profits tax on 1980 earnings if Congress backs a Senate Finance Committee plan. Senator Bob Dole argues the $1000 credit would mainly aid low income retirees and farmers, with costs funded by cutting fuel alcohol credits and modestly raising windfall taxes on producers. The measure awaits full Senate approval and House acceptance.
