Plan For World Peace Unveiled By Russians
Leaders of the Kansas Legislative Council move to restore lieutenant governor's power to appoint council committees and to advance proposals to committees. The change would undo a two year old committee on committees formed after stripping the presiding officer, then lieutenant governor, of power. John McCuish of Newton would again hold the proposal-advancing role. The plan was to be submitted to the council later today. In Ottawa, high school seniors won scholarships from local and national sources, including a $1,000 Citizenship Scholarship to John Beighnen and $200 awards to Kent Granger and Peggy Bunyan, among others, from various districts and colleges.
