Univer- sitySt. The Associated Press KANSAS CITY State Sen. Harry Wiggins has called on John Ashcroft to name former FBI Director Clarence Kelley as chairman of the new Missouri Horse Racing Commission. Missouri voters on Nov. 6 voted to establish the commission to oversee pari-mutuel horse racing in the state.

The veteran Kansas City Democrat said Kellev, who also served as Kansas City's police chief, was "kind of standoffish" at first about heading a commission that will regulate horse racing. But Wiggins said Kelley called him late last week to say-he was willing to serve if appointed. Ashcroft has said he will make appointments to the com mission shortly after taking office next month. However, Wiggins said the governor-elect thanked him for his interest in the appointments but remained non-committal. Kelley was police chief from 1961 to 1973, when he was named by President Richard Nixon to head the FBI.

He held the job for 4'2 years before returning to the private security business in Kansas City. Wiggins said he felt Kelley's appointment to the five-member commission would provide a strong deterrent to criminal influences hoping to muscle into pari-mutuel gambing. "The Mafia wants to play games with racing all over the 'country. If the wrong element came into Missouri and tried to take over, it would be awful," Wiggins said.
