Hearing Ailments Top Referrals in Franklin County Clinic
The Franklin County Multiphasic Screening program screened 2,708 people over three weeks and referred 797 to doctors. Hearing loss was the leading reason, with many referrals from noisy work environments, and volunteers and a hearing van enabled a statewide first time inclusion of adults in such clinics.

Kansas Republican Rep. Clyde Hill urges trimming the Omnibus Appropriations Bill as reconvening lawmakers face a $12 million bill. The proposal would push the 1972 budget over $1 billion, risking revenue shortfalls. Governors Docking may veto, while some lawmakers push to preserve programs amid tax gains.

Fierro Admits Strategy Failed In Kansas
Manuel Fierro, chair of the Kansas Institute for Minority Empowerment, admitted his plan to defeat the Agricultural Workers Relations Act in the 1972 Kansas Legislature failed. He said he had supported the act to panic lawmakers into killing it and criticized the measure as harming poor families. Fierro opposed the bill before a Senate committee but later backed it during House consideration to aid organizing farm workers. He pledged to help defeat lawmakers who voted for the bill in this year’s election, introducing Jerry Ryan of the United Farm Workers Union at the news conference.
