Discrimination, Education Funding Dominate Kansas Issues
The column argues federal action against employment discrimination stalled by political opposition, highlighting unequal job access for blacks and women. It cites Sen.

In Kansas, critics urge reform of school financing as property taxes rise, with a court-driven equalization effort and potential $52 million state revenue, while Gov. Docking vows to veto sales tax hikes.

Intangible Taxes Battle Ends With Westwood Revenue Rift
Kansas House committee killed a bill limiting intangibles tax gains for cities, notably Westwood which would lose about $589,209 this year. The measure, pushed by Rep. Gastl, aimed to cap city intangibles at property tax levies, sending surpluses to county funds. Westwood's $651,292 windfall, largely from United Utilities, fueled the debate as Graber's amendment to divert funds to state general fund failed.

Hellzapoppin Loses Edge In ABC Transition
AP reports Hellzapoppin on ABC as variety hour with old jokes feathers and a Ruth Buzzi lookalike, produced by Laugh-In veteran Caroline Raskin. The show borrows from Laugh-In but lacks its original energy, relying on corn and knee slappers. Lynn Redgrave performs with teeth blackened, while cohosts Cassidy and Schell respond to a gorilla gag. Overall, the revival misses the wild liberation of the early Hellzapoppin and Laugh-In eras.
