Man drowns at Sedalia cycle rally The Associated Press SEDALIA A 23-year-old Grandview man drowned Saturday evening in a lake during a motorcycle rally at a park about two miles west of Sedalia, authorities said. Pettis County Sheriff Jim Dawson said. the victim's identity was being withheld pending, notification of relatives. The drowning occurred as about 350 people most of them bikers gathered in Rock Quarry Park for a rally sponsored by Freedom of Roadriders a motorcyclists' club. Authorities reported no other accidents instances of violence at the controversial rally, billed in advertisments as a event.

Sightseers, however, were causing some traffic problems near the park, Legislature Continued frem Page IB have been smothered by opponents in committee. In capsule form, here is the status of other major legislation in the General Assembly: COLLECTIVE BARGAINING This has been tentatively approved by the House but because of its financial effect on the state must now clear the House Budget Committee. a majority of whose members oppose the bill. A Senate bill favored by state labor is not expected to be debated because it came out of committee too late and is buried behind too many bills on the Senate calendar. PROPERTY CLASSIFICATION It sneaked through the Senate by being altached to a homestead exemption bill on the floor, this proposed constitutional amendment aimed at preventing a property tax burden shift from railroads and utilities homeowners and farmers through reassessment has bogged down in the House.

It is apparently headed for an interim study. Lawson said. Extra contingents of Sedalia police, Pettis County sheriff's officers and Missouri Highway Patrol troopers were patrolling the area as a precaution. Lawson said the victim and a friend dove off a cliff at the south end of the quarry lake and attempted to swim to the north bank. The second man swam safely to shore, but the victim ran into trouble about 50 feet out and went under the surface in 15 to 20 feet of water.

Several persons swam out to rescue the. man, but were unsuccessful. Authorities called in pair of divers to search for the victim's body, which was recovered shortly before 8:30 p.m., about hours after the drowning was reported. EDUCATION FUNDING A complex ate proposal that sought to substitute increased state income, sales and cigarette taxes for the property tax as source of financial support for schools is dead. A proposed 1-cent increase in the state sales tax to provide $150 million in additional revenue for schools and $150 million in reduced local property taxes has been passed by the House and will be considered by the Senate.

CLASS SIZE Gov. Christopher Bond's campaign promise to reduce student-teacher ratios to 15 to 1 is the first bill on the House calendar when legislators return Monday and could still make it. although time is running out. There is no similar Senate bill. BUDGET All of the appropriations bills containing money for daily state operations have cleared the House, and the Senate Appropriations Committee has reviewed half of them, with further mark-up to resume today.

The House this week will begin its consideration of capital improvements. HIGHWAYS This is the most advanced The rally, which featured two bands and about 30 kegs of beer, continued after the drowning and was expected to conclude 1:30 a.m. today. The event began at p.m Saturday. The rally, billed by Freedom of Roadriders Inc.

as a fund-raiser for the club's lobbying efforts for motorcycle-related legislation, had spawned considerable controversy in Earlier this week, a Cooper County ate circuit judge refused to issue a permas nent injunction banning the rally, Pettie County Prosecuting Attorney Stanley Cox had sought the injunction, but Judge Kenton Ask ren dismissed Cox's two-count petition, ing it appeared to be an attempt to create prior restraint on freedom of speech and ass sembly major issue in the Legislature with the House and Senate both having passed their own pros posed packages of tax and fee increases. The biggest decision remaining will be whether accept the House proposal of 3-cent InS crease in the state gasoline tax or stay with 2-cent increase with a $250 million bond issue as the Senate proposes.
