That's the television weather experts' description of precipitation, which is so critically short in these parts. Andy Erhart, superintendent of the Experiment station here, said his records show that it has been nearly five months since any beneficial moisture was recorded.

And this is true for most points in western Kansas. January's total moisture was a of them to be exact which add up to next to nothing. Although December's total was .46 of an inch, it all came in six 'little showers of snow and rain which weren't of much 'benefit. November had only .23 of an inch, and October's "wetness" piled up to .03 of an inch. September brought the last good new, inch and a hah! with more than an inch of rain recorded between Sapt.

UsoltiHon ExprosMt 'Notional Indigotion' South Korea's Assembly At Negotiations SEOUL (AP) South Korea's National Assembly adopted tonight a sharply worded resolution expressing "national indignation" at current secret nego- iations between the United States and North Korea on the ate of the U8S Pueblo and its crew. The resolution, reflecting widespread Korean dismay at the American attitude in the crisis, insisted that the attack by Korean commandos assigned to assassinate President Thung Hee Park was more important to South Korea than the Pueblo incident.

The legislators asked the government to take "punitive necessary, alone against Communist provoca tions," and suggested that "military reprisals would be the besl measures" since the record of the North Koreans "proves they do not stick to diplomatic agreements." Many in this country feel the Pueblo incident is endangering U.S. relations with its stronges ally in Asia As legislate put it, "We are disappointed, and although it is not yet disillu sionment, we are The fright, he explained grew out of a feeling that the United States might sacrifice the inter ests of South Korea for Ameri can global interests and for the sake of furthering a thaw in U.S.-Soviet relations.

Park Choon-kyoo, chairman of Che Foreign Affairs Committee, expressed the view that the Jnited States was employing a double standard. South Vietnam, he said, has ts own command, while South Korea's forces remain under the Command. He suggested that private American talks with the North Koreans at Pan- munjom were tantamount to shutting out South Korea, on its own territory from discussions which vitally concern this country.

The plan concerns three recommendations: teachers salaries a change in sick leave policy and a request that a curriculum director be hired. Board members will study the proposal, making a decision at a later date. Larry Fowler, high school instructor and welfare committee chairman, made the presentation. He said one of the major goals of the recommendations is to "help keep good teachers in Garden City." The board spent considerable time talking with the committee representatives and studying tha proposals they are making. Six patrons from the Fierce- villa area appeared before the board to discuss a variety of subjects.

Major concern was the possibility of conducting a kindergarten class at the Plercevflle School next year. Present guideline is that five students must be available before kindergarten classes will be conducted at an attendance canter. Pierceville residents said there may be as many as six kindergarten students in their district for next school year. Other subjects discussed with the Pierceville psople ragged from transportation "problems" to girls athletics. A sidewalk on school property at new Jennie Wilson School soon will be a reality.

Tens of thousands of terrified civilians streamed from shacks and huts in Saigon with what meager belongings they could carry, swelling the number of homeless to staggering proportions.

From the northern sector of South Vietnam came reports of fresh mortar and ground attacks on government district headquarters and army units along a wide arc around Da Nang. Da Nang, South Vietnam's second largest city, was placed on "Alert Two," meaning an attack is probable.

It has a potential of some magnitude," a spokesman said.

Measure Would Nearly Double Stafe Aid to Schools TOPEKA (AP) Among the 54 bills introduced Monday in the Kansas Legislature was one by four Republican senators that would nearly douible state aid to schools. The bill would implement a proposal by the Kansas State Teachers Association by increasing state aid from about $92.5 million to $168 million over a three-year period.

One of the bill's sponsors, Kent Frizzell, Wichita, said the four lawmakers introduced the measure when it became apparent the Senate Education Commit- tee would not sponsor it. The other three senators sponsoring the bill were Robert C. Taggart, Topeka; Robert F. Bennett, Prairie Village, and Joseph C. Harder, Moutndridge.

Monday was to have been the deadline for introduction of individually sponsored bills. The deadline was changed to Wednesday when the state bill drafting department reported it was unable to prepare all of the bills requested. The House Education Committee voted 11-5 Monday to introduce a bill requiring a daily period of instruction hi the his- tory of religion. The action was requested by Rep E. F.

Steichen, D-Lenora. The committee also voted to introduce a bill that would allow Amish children or members of similar religious orders to attend their own vocational schools. They must complete the eighth grade in public schools, with supplemental instruction at home and by correspondence courses. The committee took the action after they heard testimony urging modification of the Kansas compulsory school attendance law from a spokesman for preserving the cultures of certain Amish and Mennonite religious groups. The House Assessment and Taxation Committee approved a bill to earmark state income tax collections for school support.

The measure, introduced by Rep. Fred Meek, R-Idana, will be presented on the floor of the Gov. Robart Docking, who has been feuding with the Kansas Livestock Association, reportedly suggested a bill that was introduced in the Senate by Sens. Charles B. Joseph, D-Potwin, minority floor leader, and Joe Warren, D-Maple City.

The bill would consolidate the offices of livestock sanitary commissioner and brand commissioner. It would create a seven-member commission consisting of the KLA president, one member from each of the five congressional districts and one member to be selected from the state at large. The commission would select a livestock commissioner with the duties of both commissioners. Docking, a Democrat, has said the law giving the KLA power to recommend who should be appointed, in effect, delegates the governor's appointive power. In other Senate action, Son.

Keith Sebelius, R-Norton, introduced a bill calling for the issue of whether the change to daylight saving time should be placed on the ballot of the general election. One of eight bills passed by the upper chamber would impose a moratorium until 1971 on the establishment of new community junior colleges. It will be sent to the House. Another Senate bill introduced Monday would establish the National Guard mutual assistance compact authorizing the governor to call out the guard for duty in another state if its governor requests. Sen.

Ted Saar, D-Pittsburg, introduced a bill that out-of- state students living within 150 miles of any college or university under the Kansas Board of Regents be charged tuition at the resident rate. Sens. Robert F. Bennett, R- Prairie Villa, Norma E. Gaar, R-Westwood, introduced a measure they said would deny the alcoholic bveerage control director from setting minimum prices for distributors and retailers, and put the retail sale of liquor on a competitive, free- market system.

In the lower chamber, a bill was passed and sent to the Senate that would increase from $2 million to $2.5 million the state's share for acquisition of land south of the statehouse and state office building.
