December 17, 1976 Prosecution changes One arrest leads deputies to burglary investigation Lottery CHICAGO (UPI) The winning numbers drawn Thursday in the Illinois State Lottery's weekly "car-a-day giveaway" are 80 and 547. The color is blue, and the car is a Chevelle. early Thursday evening was stolen. The car, a 1975 Ford, belongs to Dennis Murphy of Glascow Village. It was found on the Pimville Road about a mile south of the old Pimville Mine site shortly after 5 p.m.

and reported to the sheriff's department. Damage to the burned car was described by deputies Stan Rawson and George Gray as virtually total. It was burned from the firewall toward the back. The only thing the officers found missing from the vehicle was the battery, their report indicated. The Doe Run Fire Department was called to extinguish the blaze in the car and the brush fire that had started from the car fire.

Area officers also were seeking three persons late Thursday night in an apparent burglary attempt at the and Oldsmobile lot near the intersection of U.S. 67 and Route 32. Lee Bollinger, owner of the car dealership, confronted the intruders who had forced their way through the gate onto the lot at about 11:30 p.m. As they fled, Bollinger fired three shots. Th-dealership has been the target of several burglaries in recent years.

investigation of the police officer. As the penalties sought get stiffer the more difficult it is to get convictions, he noted. "The more serious the penalty, the more serious a juror considers the term 'beyond a reasonable doubt' in his deliberations. When they get into that jury room there are a lot of doubts." Stevenson said he understands he will be allowed two assistant prosecutors, but also pointed out that the county does not have the money available for investigators for his staff. While he and his assistants will be working "as they primarily will be office workers but will go to crime scenes when their schedule allows.

The prosecutor-elect spent several minutes stressing the importance of preparing all-inclusive reports and the key elements of giving effective testimony. Saying he has been accused of being "too young, idealistic and inexperienced," Stevenson said he is at that age where it makes him feel good to be described in that manner, takes no offense in being called idealistic and can't argue about the inexperience but feels time will take care of that. After the close of the meeting which was attended by members of nine departments, the president of the association, Deputy Sheriff Vernon Nelson, said 26 officers added their membership to the roles or the organization Thursday night. The next meeting of the association is scheduled for Jan. 20 at which another special program is being planned.

(Continued from page 1) also are concerned about the crime problem and will do their part in resolving it There is every indication that there will be good cooperation between his office and law-enforcement officers and among the different agencies, Stevenson said. This is one of the reasons for his optimism, he said. The prosecutor's office will be available to assist the police officer with his problems, Stevenson stressed, and always will keep open a line of communication." Someone from the office will be available on weekends, he noted, and after an officer brings a case to the prosecutor he will be kept informed of the status of the case. "I am telling you what you can expect of me because I will be expecting more of you," Stevenson told the officers. "To accomplish those common goals we have set will require expert police work," Stevenson told the officers.

The prosecution's case is built around the Six file (Continued from page 1) county clerk's office through Dec. 27 for the Jan. 25 election. Terms of the board of directors will vary from one to three years, depending on the directors district. Terms for districts one and four are one year apiece, two and five are two years and three and six are for three-year terms.

Tddays Stocks The arrest of a young man in Bismarck Wednesday on a Crawford County check charge led authorities into another case, Sheriff Jim Hickman said Thursday. Rick Lee Counts, 21, was arrested by Hickman and Chief Deputy Gene Archer on the warrant from Steelville that alleged Counts had passed an insufficient-funds check. In making the arrest, the sheriff noted, the officers 'discovered an antique cash register in the back of a pickup truck belonging to Counts. Archer said he had heard a radio dispatch just a day or so earlier regarding a burglary in which such a cash register was part of the loot. He had that information checked out It was learned that the cash register found by the local officers was part of the loot from a Crawford County burglary a few nights ago.

Counts was turned over to Crawford County officers and transported back to Steelville where he was being held on the check charge and for investigation in with the theft of the cash register. No charge has yet been filed in connection with Counts' possesion of the cash register. Sheriff Johnny L. Giles of Crawford County, a deputy and a member of the Highway Patrol were in the Bismarck area early Thursday to see if they could locate any other loot from the burglary, but it was indicated none was found. No report had been received from St.

Louis County late this mopiing to indicate a car found burning in the Number Nine Hills Grant hearing slated tonight The second of two public hearings necessary before the City of Farmington may apply for us to $400,000 in community development grant funds will be held tonight. The Board, of Aldermen will review a grant committee's list of suggested fund applications and will listen to any suggestions for funds usage from the community. The grant, which, if approved, has a maximum value of $400,000, would be sought from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Suggested uses for the grant include $262,500 for the construction of a new combined senior citizen center and library. Other suggested expenditures are: $60,000 for expansion and installation of traffic-control signals, $80,000 for creation of one-way streets and installation of traffic signals for downtown Farmington, $50,000 for housing rehabilitation and $5,000 for the parks program for playground equipment.

$57,000 will have to be trimmed from the proposal before application is made. The hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Long Memorial Hall. Deadline for the grant application is Jan. 7.

MAC faculty, trustees talk out disagreements Brooks undergoing psychiatric exam James A. Brooks, currently held by federal authorities on bank-robbery charges, is undergoing psychiatric examination to determine his fitness to stand trial. Brooks is being held on charges stemming from the robberies of the Caledonia, Belgrade and Marquand banks. He was the object of a series of manhunts and was arrested in Illinois last month. The examination is being conducted at the federal medical center in Springfield.

Officials say Brooks has been at the center for 30 days, and it is expected to take 90 days for his examination to be completed. He has appeared in court twice, and both times has pleaded not guilty to the charges. A trial date will be set after Brooks is returned from Springfield. 1 KeMcG 1.25 Motorola .70 Penney 1.28 PhilPet 1.80 PPGInd 2.20 ProcGa 2.20 QuakOat .92 RCA Corp 1 SafwStr 2.20 Sears 1.60a SunOil 1 Teneco 1.88 Texaco 2 TexGasTr 2 Tex Instr 1 73 67- 54 53 65 56 91 x23 -I- 26 47 68 44 37 27 47 98 61 51 UnCarb USSteel 2.50 2.20 The Daily Journal P.O.

The discussion started with some disagreement over this year's contract. Franklin stated, "I thought they would provide the labor." He meant club members themselves operating the stand instead of the manager the club retained as an overhead item. "No, Homer, I don't think so," Lion tee Gammon said. "I think Jim (Dismuke) agreed the labor would be part of the overhead." Dismuke stated, "I was not agreeable to that. I assumed it would be absorbed by the club." He argued in favor of renewing the contract with more return to the city, perhaps 75 per cent of the profit.

Dismuke argued that; the taxpayers of Klat River paid for the sports center but many outsiders are using it, and he wants more of a return to the city through concession sales. Councilwoman Mrs. Marilyn Calvird pointed out that much of the complex's cost was met by a federal grant. I jon Dave Jennings, who coordinated the refreshment service, argued that the city realized 25 per cent of the gross receipts and said the "going rate" is 12 per cent. He firmly opposed any change in the even division-of-profits structure.

Jennings argued that the city made enough the first year to almost recover the cost of its estimated $3,200 investment in equipment for the food stand. According to Jennings, adverse weather and newness kept the business lower than its potential, and next year prospects are for a gross of $25,000 as opposed to about half that the first year. The club members said their directors would have to decide if Lions could commit themselves to allocating some of their share to a major civic improvement. This will be discussed and resolved later. Councilmen informally approved Dismuke's suggestion that a gravel area owned by the city adjacent to Columbia Park is designated the city's bus stop.

A telephone and some sort of shelter would have to be provided, the city manager said. The city now has no established bus stop. The council also, formed a tentative consensus to stop assessing Mineral Area Cable Vision Co. as a public utility. This would mean that, starting next July, the firm would pay the same gross-receipts tax other businesses do, 50 cents per $1,000 taken in, instead of the present 3 per cent of total gross receipts.

Robert Schloss, president of Omega Communications of Indianapolis, made this request and also asked the city to stop, at least for now, regulating the firm's rates to customers. Mayor Robert Fowler said he thinks the first request can be granted if other communities served by the firm in St. Francois County make the same change. "We thought you were a public utility when you first came here, but actually you're not," Fowler said. Schloss said the firm charges customers $6 a month.

The council discussed a change it is considering in its law providing for the revocation of licenses to operate taverns and sell packaged liquor. They said the change primarily would shift control from the mayor to the entire council. The proposal will be voted on at a future council meeting. As now outlined, the council would be able to revoke or suspend a license upon receiving evidence that the owner was not complying with all laws. The licensee would be given 10 days' notice and have the right to a hearing.

In the event a licensee is convicted of breaking a law, councilmen said, they should automatically revoke or suspend the license. However, the license would not be granted to anyone else until the first license-holder had exhausted all court appeals. This provision would enable him to reacquire the license if he was subsequently cleared of a charge of misconduct. Flat River has only a limited number of tavern and package store licenses it can grant to applicants. Solution may be near on easement problem Progress points toward solution of a problem between Desloge and the Flat River Area of Commerce over an easement, Phil Rowland, chamber president, said Wednesday.

The matter concerns the chamber's industrial site. "Although no decisions have been made, we are looking at Fir Street as an exit to the industrial acreage, which should satisfy both sides," Rowland said. He anticipates firm agreements soon. The chamber had planned to use an easement exiting on School Street as the alignment of a road from the site on old U.S.' 67. That easement runs through a newly created Desloge city park, and its existence reportedly would block state funds for the park.

Both named a joint groups committee to study the problem. Ambulance Calls Copllo Ambulance Service Elmer Halbert from St. Mary's Nursing home in St. Louis to Thomas Dell Nursing Home. Charles Pipkin from Farmington Community Hospital to Medicalodge.

The discussion between the faculty and trustees came during a regular board meeting, reportedly at the request of the faculty. Faculty Forum President Limbaugh said teachers feel the requirement of a physician's excuse for three straight days attributed to illness, enacted over a year ago, should be reconsidered. "We are the only educational institution around here with such a rule," Limbaugh stated. Bollinger said the policy is used in "Civil Service and government." He added, "We adopted the regulation because we found some broad excursions into the area of taking advantage of sick leave. They say we are penalizing the group for the infractions of the few.

I say that's why we have stop signs." Limbaugh explained the "due process" issue refers mainly to the handling of grievances, for example the controversial firing of a teacher. "There was no written, policy untLLJasb August," he said. "Then it was written with input from only a few faculty members who happened to be around."

Interment Calvary Lack of communication between the faculty and Board of Trustees of Mineral Area College (MAC) "has been pretty well ironed out" following a meeting at the college Thursday, a faculty spokesman said today. Charles Limbaugh, president of the MAC Faculty Forum, today told The Daily Journal, "Apparently, there was misunderstanding on both sides. We want to communicate and they gave us the opportunity.

I think we are moving in the right directions." He said the forum was told to put its proposals into writing, confer with the MAC administration and present the written matter at a future Board of Trustees meeting. There are several points of disagreement, Limbaugh said. He cited as two important ones the board's policy on "due process" and requiring doctor's excuses for three consecutive days of sick leave. Earl Bollinger, president of the board, said the allegation of poor communication was on the part of the faculty. "That was their he said.

"I had not realized there was any lack of communication. They are formalizing their wishes and wants to bring to a future board meeting." Lions donate cash for students' gifts The Flat River Lions Club has donated $29 to buy Christmas presents for children at Central High School.

The smaller buses are housed in garages at the site and several buses used on longer routes are kept at the far end of the routes by their drivers.

Flat River police reported this morning that there was some vandalism of private cars around Central High School, though of a less destructive nature than experienced earlier in the week. Tires on about five vehicles were deflated, police said, but the tires were not cut Three of the drivers reported the incident to police while authorities learned of the other two through other sources. All four tires were deflated on one car, the investigating officer reported. A local service station was called to provide an air tank at the scene to assist the motorists.
