(.fl President Eisenhower's boyhood home state ol Kansas is reeling under a fur ious cleclion-ycar struggle over state finances between Republi cans and the state's first Demo cratic governor in 20 years. The GOP-controlled Legislature adjourned last week in a dead lock with Gov. George Docking, a banker, over how to provide IB million dollars in additional rev enue to balance a record state budget for (lie year starting next July 1. : Most of Ihe bills to spend money ; sailed through the Legislature with hardly a dissenting vote, t Measures to provide new revenue. however, were not enacted. Docking promptly announced he would call the legislators hack in i special session to solve the tax muddle, a development GOP lead ers anticipated. j But the Governor, ill with fa tigue and a bronchial condition.! Ihii led a bed-side bombshell a few days after the lawmakers went home. , He threatened to make (he state operate on existing revenues until Ihe next regular legislative ses sion in lll.i'J by pro-rating avail able funds among many agencies and institutions. If the threat was carried out, it would mean a temporary drastic curtailment in state expenditures, stale payrolls might have to be slashed, building projects de ferred, some state services elim inated. Kansas is a cash-basis state. It cannot borrow money to pay op erating expenses. Docking, elect ed in Itl.Vi during a bitter internal light among Republicans, wanted to make up Ihe revenue deficiency by taxing corporations and inherit ances for an extra six million dol lars and providing additional mil lions by changing certain state bookkeeping practices. Republicans, who control the Cl.,t., Cnntn in() 11, a ll.tntn Inf Henresentntivps H.t-4. 1'eioctod the plan. They assailed it as inadequate and said it would only delay until after this year's elections the day when more money would have to be raised by new or higher taxes. The GOP called it a political platform on which Docking would try lo become the first Democrat ever reelected governor in Kansas. Republicans passed a bill to raise the state retail sales tax from 2 to 2' per cent which they contended would meet the need for permanent new revenue. Docking vetoed il, calling it an unfair tax on the bread of the poor. Supported solidly by what Docking calls the "Fighting 42" Democrats in the House, (he veto was sustained.

George Stewart said the big construction job would start in several months and that he hoped to have it com pleted in time for the next presi dential inauguration in January, 1961. Under plans approved in a split vote of a special congressional commission the Capitol front will be moved out 32'? feet at an esti mated cost of $10,100,000. It is the first phase of a large re modeling program. The whole project, including ex tensive construction underground and alterations on the Capitol's west front, is estimated at 110 million dollars. House Republican Leader Jos eph W. Martin Jr. (R-Mass.), one of five members of the special commission empowered to act on the project, said he opposed it, but was out-voted. Martin de- 3MH 4mw 3336 4 LLEB250 dined to say how others voted. The extension plans have roused a storm of protest, not only from prominent architects but also from some other groups interest ed in preservation of the Capi tol's historic appearance. Stewart, a principal sponsor of the extension, has said the ap pearance will be preserved and improved, with better balance provided for the big dome which now appears to overhang the port ico. Stewart contends heavy con struction work must be done soon whether or not the walls are moved. He says the old sandstone of which the central portion of the capitol is built has begun to crumble from long exposure to the weather. The extension originally was de signed the Capitol's center sec- Malin Chamber Slates Crab Feed MALIN Ed McCulley, president of the Malin Chamber of Com merce, reminded everyone of the annual crab feed scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday, February 24, at the Broadway Hall.

The commission is headed by Speaker Sam Rayburn (D-Tex.). Other members besides Martin and Stewart are Vice President Richard M. Nixon and Senate Re publican Leader William F. Knowland.

One Reason Why The Newspaper Gives More For The Advertising Dollar PEOPLE LIKE ADVERTISING IN NEWSPAPERS BETTER THAN ANY OTHER MEDIUM People feel friendly toward advertising in newspapers. Surveys show that far fewer people want advertising in other media. An advertiser wants his customers to like him, so it stands to reason he will benefit if he runs his ads where they please instead of annoy people. OSBURN HOTEL El'CENK.
