Harris: Americans Lack Confidence in Politicians Remarks made recently by pollster Louis Harris regarding how politicians are viewed by the American public were called "alarming" by Stole Rep. Ambrose Dempsey, D- Leavenworlh. Dempsey made the comments last week after returning from the National Conference of State Legislatures in Philadelphia, Oct. 6-10 where Harris spoke. The meeting was attended by more than 2,000 persons, according to Dempsey, including HI representatives from Kansas.

Dempsey said he attended at the direction of House Speaker Duane S. "Pete" McGill as a member of the task force committee on agriculture and food supply. Harris' speech, which contained statistics to document a lack of American confidence in politicians, was the highlight of the conference, 'according to Dempsey, who said it convinced him persons in political office should get away from partisan politics and show more Benefits of GI Bill Still Stand JARVIS HONORED AT USP Dr. Charles Jarvis, chief medical officer at the U.

Euston said the fire broke out at 6:55 p.m. in an area known as Home Place, an undeveloped area north of the Veterans Administration Center at the far east end of Limit. A fire department pumper, a VA Center pumper and a city tanker truck were used to quell the fire. Personnel from two fire stations responded to the scene and were back in service at 8:30 p.m., Euston said.

Euston said the fire was "pretty good size" and was difficult to extinguish because the area was not easily accessible and there are no fire hydrants Ihere. There were no injuries, however. A lolal of 5,000 gallons of water were used to extinguish I he fire, he said.

He said the change in the special veterans pension only affects those whose only period of service began after July 1, 1975. He explained the discontinued pension is for veterans who are injured or become ill after they are out of the service and who cannot be employed as a result of the injury or illness. He said the pension is based on an individual's own situation.

The amount paid is determined by the person's income and a combination of other circumstances which may or may not qualify him for the pension. Brown said persons whose service began before July 1 still may qualify for the special pension. He said educational benefits under the G.I. Bill, home loans, hospitalization and other benefits have not been affected. The Army release explained that under current laws a service member or veteran is eligible for up to 36 months of financial assistance at colleges throughout the country if he or she'has served more than 180 days on active duty, any part of which was served after Jan.

31, 1955. The release reads, "This does not mean that this benefit will not be cancelled sometime in the future. Cancellation of benefits under the G.I. Bill after World War II and the Korean War is ample precedent for this to happen again."

Harris covered a variety of topics, ranging from the energy crisis to politics. Regarding leadership in government, he said, more people believe the U.S. Supreme Court is out of touch with public needs, by a 4338 per cent margin; 51-35 per cenl believe the White House is out of touch; and 54-34 per cent believe Congress is not tuned in. Harris said the dominant mood of the changing electorate can best be summed up in two recent polls. By 85-9 per cent, a majority feel that most government leaders are afraid to "tell it like it is," that is to tell the public the hard truth about inflation, energy and other subjects; and by 6722 per cent, a 3-1 majority, believe the trouble with most leaders is that they don't understand people want.

Restoration Of Cemetery Continuing "We're inviting the public to come to Greenwood Cemetery at 15th and Limit this Saturday and Sunday and see what a small group of volunteers has accomplished," Arden Rhyne, chairman of the Greenwood Cemetery Association, said today. Volunteers have been working since February to clear the 110- year-old cemetery of a mass of undergrowth, and a fence has been erected to enclose the burial ground. "Our objective is to see that the resting place of nearly 1,000 pioneers is kept presentable and that they are not forgotten," Rhyne said. The cemetery gates are open from 9 a.m.

to 5 p.m. weekends. Eastern Club Sets Election The Easton Saddle Club will hold election of officers at its next meeting Nov. 2 at 2p.m. The families of Bob Beying and Don Noll are in charge of the program with the afternoon meeting to be followed by a dinner and Halloween party.
