State Rights Commission Aggressive Force TOPEKA (AP) Four re cent appointees to the Kansas Commission on Civil Rights are turning that body into an aggressive force promoting the rights of minorities in the state, says the Commission's tive director, Troy G. gins. execu- Scrog- "I think the most significant change has come in the Commission's attitude in regard to exercising its statutory power," Scoggins said in interview. "In the past, they were somewhat reluctant to do so." The commission recently brought its first charge of discrimination -against a Kansas school district the Rosedale district of Kansas City, Kan. It also is initiating a study of possible housing diseriminaition and welfare violations involving Mexican-Americans Kansas.

in western And, ithe commission Is fight- ing a battle for a black woman to get her readmitted to an Emporia nursing school. "The commission had somewhat of a conservative attitude in regard to -testing some of statutory provisions and tenants of the law," said Scroggins, a 37-year-old black who was elevated to executive director last Dec. 31 after four years as an employe of the Commission. "The new members of the commission and several of the older members have begun to realize that the effectiveness of the law to bring about change in the diay-to-day plight of minority people bias not come about as readily as maybe they anticipated through the filing of individual complaints. "Also, they haive come to realize the individual complaint route bias not had a great amount of class 'action effect in changing conditions for the majority of minorities in Kansas." The Commission once, last year had four of its seven seats vacant.

Jenry Biindle; Gov. Robert Docking's administrative assistant who handles recommendations for appointments, said finding people willing to serve on the Commission is very difficult. The four members Docking has added in recent months are Terry O'Keefe, a White Wichita attorney; Mrs. Ohavlene Houng, a Kansas City, black woman; U. L.

Gooch, a black Wichita mian who has an aircraft service business, and Daniel OROPESA, A Wichitan of Mexican-American, descent who works in the aircraft i dusftry. The Commission now is composed of two whites, three blacks and two Mexican-Americans. The four new appointees are one black ana one Mexican- American in place of whites, who formerly constituted a majority. The Commission has legal authority, Scroggins said, to initiate charges of discrimination- in public accommodation and employment "whenever there is enough reason to believe that a discriminatory act has occurred." It cannot taring charges in housing oases, but must have an aggrieved party bring the charge. A 1970 to the state's civil rights law also gave the Commission power to initiate investigations without a formal complaint to seek ia- forniation upon which a com: plaint might be made.

"This is the section of the law we are using to investigate jhese cases in western Kansas," Scroggins said. He said the Commission has drawn up notices of has not yet served begin a probe of alleged housing discrimination, delivery of services under the welfare agencies and education of Mexican-American children under Title I of the federal Civil Righto Act. Fund's for these programs are administered by the state. The Commission meets Saturday moiming here, at which time Scroggins expects it to approve the investigation. Commisision on file formal complainlts of discrimination at Garden City, Goodlarid, Ulysses, Seoitt City, Leoti and Johnson, as well as agadmst the Welfare Departments of Scott, Grant and Finney counties.

The Commission also has under study allegations of mis-ap- plication of federal funds in western Kansas. Also underway is a survey of employment of minorities in state government. Scroggins said a similar survey two years ago disclosed only a little over 5 per cent of state employes are members of minority races and most of those have janitorial and menial jobs. Ironically, Scroggins four of the first five crimination complaints processed by the Commission this fiscal year were fited by whites. "They are whites who were either evicted or threatened witih eviction for entertaining blacks in their apartments, or for assisting blacks in renting within the apartment com- "plex," Scroggiras said.

Sharpe Lexington, Bus Safety Precautions Pay off in Tuesday Crash Bus safety precautions taken by Unified School District 457 paid off Tuesday in a bus-car mishap northeast of Garden City, reports Bill Lewis, district transportation director. The mishap was rated by Lewis as most serious since the district unified in 1965.

The district's 28 buses average 350,000 miles yearly. Tuesday's inltersection mishap resulted in major damage to the bus and oar, but only minor injuries to the occupants of the two vehicles. Lewis said bus carried (three Jennie kindergarten students in addition to veteran driver Archie B. Ladner. Ladner was bruised in the mishap, but only suffered any visible injury, a bump to his head, Lewis reported.

Mr. Mrs. Fred Offerle, occupants of the car, were treated 'at St. Catherine Hospital for minor injuries and released. Paddied and placing of the students in the middle of ithe bus were cited by Lewis as having possibly prevented serious injury to the students.

The three were tossed about the interior, he noted, as the impact spun the bus 180 degrees on the The damaged bus was one of three new put into service last week and had only 2,200 miles on its speedometer. Lewis Manned new window design on tfoe bus as having created a "blind" spot to the left of 'the driver, preventing hint from (haiving seen the approaching oar: Since the mishap, the other two new buses have undergone local modification to remove the blind spot, he reported. Lewis said 'bus caught fire following the mishap. He praised Ladner, who has been driving for the disitrict since 1965, tor having safely removed the youngsters from the burning vehicle. Ladner then used a hand extinguisher to put out the fire undiar the hood of the damaged vehicle.

USD 457 began requiring padded seats on.its new buses a couple of yeains ago and now is six of its 28 vehicles so equipped. In addition to the seat backs, the padding extends to interior nails and a padded strip running along the 'Slide of the bus walls. Another definite safety factor Lewis noted, was the size of tine bus. He said isome districts have gone to sinuader, van type 'busies on some routes. Had a van type bus been involved in the Tuesday mishap, the outcome would have been considerably more injurious to the bus occupants, Lewis itlheorized.

With her is Nathan Lewis, junior high biology teacher. Clam Yields Pearl For Garden Student Divers have challenged the denizens of the deep and oyster 'beds for centuries to come up with that coveted gem, the pearl. Shelly 13-year-old daughter of Mr. and Chris Angeles, Rt. 1, found her pearl the easy way.

Shelly's "diving" was actually "dipping" into a formaldehyde-filed barrel at Garden City Junior High. Her "oyster" was actually a clam, dredged up out of the barrel for disect- ing in her biology class. The pearl she found nestled inside the clam came a totol "shock," according to her mother. Shelly, her classmates', and teacher Nathan Lewis were "quite surprised!" with her finid. Lewis was particularly surprised, he said, because although finding a pearl in a clam is not as unusual as it may sound, finding a pearl inside a clam designated for school disection is unusual.

Lewis explained that specimen for disection are purchased through a national company, shipped in barrels of formaldehyde and "they usual- ly go through the specimen thoroughly before shipping them out," he said. Two Garden City jewelry stores pronounce'd! the pearl "worthless" of monetary value, and of poor quality. One jeweler explained that the pearl was quite irregular in shape, and contained some flaws. Mrs. Angeles explained, however, 'that the family may take the pearl to Kansas City to see if it might be ground into shape, and to obtain one final appraisal of its potemittial value.
