Friday in St. John's Regional Health Center, Springfield, after suffering a heart attack on Thanksgiving Day. He was a retired carpenter courts previously had required the city to pay the amount the board specified. However, Missourians' approval of the Hancock Amendment changed all that, wrote Judge Andrew Jackson Higgins for the court's majority, which also included Judges Robert Donnelly, Robert Seiler and Warren Welliver. "(The Hancock Amendment) is explicit in its prohibition against state agencies requiring increased activity of cities or other political sions without an attendant state appropriation to cover the increased cost," Higgins wrote.

Since the police board is created by a state law, it is a state agency and the city no longer is required to abide by its dictates. In his first dissent, newly appointed Judge George Gunn wrote for himself, Judge Albert Rendlen and Special Judge James A. Finch that the majority's decision tears, down the protection of the St. Louis Police Department. "Under today's holding the Board of Aldermen for the first time will assert its influence over the St.

Louis Police Board and tear away the protective abatis that was established over 120 years ago to prevent the aldermen's intrusion upon the police board's authority over budgetary affairs," he said. By Keith White Our Capital Bureau JEFFERSON If a state agency requires a local government to do anything that requires Increased spending, the state must provide the money, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled Friday. The case in question was a funding dispute between the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners and the city of St. Louis, but the opinion may have a far-reaching impact.

It would appear, for example, that the court's 4-3 opinion could bolster Greene County officials' arguments that the county is not required to pro- vide office space for the public defender's office. Circuit court budgets that counties now must pay in full also could be affected by the decision. Friday's opinion was another case where the court broadened the impact of the Hancock Amendment, the constitutional amendment limiting government taxing and spending. Voters adopted the tax-lid in 1980. St.

Louis' dispute arose when the Board of Police Commissioners took -the city to court because the city would not pay a nearly $3.1 million increase in the board's budget for the current fiscal year. That board was set up to insulate the St. Louis Police Department from the pressures of local politics, and this result with the Hancock Amendment does not ring true to me. Gunn said. Also Friday, Justices upheld the conviction of Osage Beach fireworks seller Leo Burnau and the $10 fine he was ordered to pay for selling fireworks at retail before state law permitted him to in 1981.

Burnau was arrested on June 9, 1981, by a Camden County deputy sheriff who purchased $5-30 of fireworks from his stand. The deputy testified that Burnau told her to say the fireworks were purchased wholesale and that 'various signs around the stand told buyers they were agreeing to buy them wholesale. State law prohibits the retail sale of fireworks until June 20 each year. For violating that law, Bumau was fined $10. Burnau appealed his conviction, arguing the law is unconstitutionally vague because it does not define what is retail.

"(The law) is so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application," his attorney wrote. Judge Higgins, writing this time for a unanimous court, said the court could find no confusion about the meaning of "retail." Sylvia Martin LICKING Services for Sylvia V. Martin, 86.

Daily record Births 1 Rilled, many hurt in wrecks on slippery Ozarks highways Rolla residents evacuated Tho Associated Press ROLLA About 100 people were evacuated from their homes Friday when a tanker-truck overturned near the city limits and spilled several hundred gallons of gasoline. The evacuees were kept away from their homes for about six hours Iter the 9:30 a.m. accident while firemen used foam and water to wash the spilled fuel away, Police Chief Stan Spadonl said.

The driver of the truck, an employee of Temmen Transport was not injured. Five workers at the scene were treated for minor burns suffered when they came in contact with the gasoline, authorities said. "When it turned over, it turned over on its side into a ditch. We had a considerable seepage of fuel I would say at least several hundred gallons," Spadoni said. The eastbound tanker, fully loaded with 8,000 gallons of fuel, overturned on Missouri 72 just inside the Rolla city limits, Spadonl said.

The accident forced evacuation of a trailer park and several homes within 1,000 feet of the scene, the chief.said. Heavy rain which fell throughout the cleanup operation "might have been a blessing" by helping to dilute the spilled fuel, Spadoni said.
