The proposed amendment would go before the voters in this year's general election if two-thirds of the senators and representatives approve it. Reps.

Richard Harper, R-Fort Scott, and James L. Ungerer, R-Marysville, sponsored the proposed amendment. With Rep. Francis Gordon, -Highland, they also sponsored a bill to prevent anyone who. is not a U.S.

citizen from owning, leasing or holding in trust Kansas land for more than 50 years. Under the bill, aliens would be allowed to own land they live on as long as it did not exceed certain acreage allotments. Gordon said the measure would prevent foreign investors from buying huge tracts of Kansas farm land for speculation. He said the French have bought sizable parcels of land in Doniphan County, limiting expansion of family farms there. Rep.

Michael Glover, D-Lawrence, introduced a bill requiring anyone knowing of abuse of a nursing home resident to report the incident. The measure would require such reports be made verbally and in writing to health departments having jurisdiction over the home in question. An investigation would then be required with information on the case going to the secretary of Health and Environment. A bill by Reps. James Lowther, R- Emporia, and Charles Laird, D-Topeka, would authorize any law enforcement officer investigating an accident to tag damaged vehicles.

The measure would require garages to reportreceipt of any untagged vehicle that ap-' parently had been in an accident. on damaged vehicles could be removed only after repairs had been made.

Presidential primaries and caucuses in 1976 spanned more than 20 weeks. Critics said the period exhausted candidates physically and financially and placed too much emphasis on early contests. The rules change could hurt efforts by a potential Democratic challenger of President Carter to gather delegates and build momentum before the New Hampshire primary.

The change passed the rule-drafting commission on a 41-12 vote and was supported by Carter partisans, New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary probably will remain the leadoff contest, thanks to a proposed exemption in the party rules. The new period for delegate selection spans the 13 weeks between the second Tuesday in March and the second Tuesday in June of 1980. Exemptions to the requirement that delegates be selected during the period are possible. Failure to select delegates within the prescribed period could prompt the national committee to withhold convention credentials for the state delegation. The commission also voted to have state partyies promote a 50-50 split in their convention delegations between men and women.

GOP unit dodges canal-stand feud WASHINGTON (UPI) A Republican National Committee battle on the Panama Canal was narrowly avoided Saturday when conservatives decided against introducing a resolution critical of Sen.

That resolution urges that the treaties not be ratified without full consideration of the nation's defense needs. but does not condemn the treaties.

Park advisory board is commission topic Discussion of a park advisory board for Salina headlines the agenda for Monday's city commission meeting at 4 p.m. In Roorn 200 of Government Center. The commission is expected to discuss appointment procedures for the advisory board as well as the group's specific statement of support for the nation's striking farmers. The Senate adopted and sent the House a resolution expressing support for the family farm and the American Agriculture movement. The resolution, sponsored by Sen.

Joseph Norvell, D- Hays, and 25 other senators, urged Congress to make the farm crisis a No. 1 priority and to pass a farm program providing a "workable" farm income. "Since the United States government is accountable in the eyes of the American people and in the eyes of citizens of foreign nations for the condition of American agriculture and because of depressed agricultural prices, this Legislature supports and commends the American Agriculture movement's efforts to save their farms and livelihood," the resolution read. Sen. Edward Reilly R-Leavenworth and chairman of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, said his panel would hold a hearing Feb.

1 on a House bill to reinstate capital punishment and probably would vote on the measure the next day. Senate President Ross Doyen, R-Concordia referred the death penalty bill to the committee Friday. The House passed a Senate bill intended to ease the state's doctor shortage. The measure permits the Kansas Board of Healing Arts more leeway in grading examination papers, raises some license and permit fees, gives the board power to issue special practice permits to graduates waiting for residency openings and limits continuing education requirements to medical personnel practicing in the state.
