Instead, he ran toward what he thought was the back door, yanked it open and discovered he was facing a storage closet. Defeated, the man placed bis hands over his head and walked to the front door, where he was placed under arrest on suspicion of burglary and felony stealing.

Transferred to the booking room si police headquarters, the man placed in a locked visitors' room while officers removed an intoxicated prisoner from the paddy wagon.

When they returned, they discovered the burglary suspect had knocked a screen from an opening in the door and was climbing out of the visitors' room.

al 1 S3 pm Mirra M. Cos Ta Mr. and Mrs. Randy Val. Ozarks By JO CLAYTON Th Dwly News One of three men arrested as suspects in a pharmacy break-in early Sunday escaped from custody after he was taken to Springfield Police Headquarters.

Police Cpl. Larry Robinson said he was checking for possible break-ins at Kimbrough and Cherry about 4 a.m. when he saw two men get out of a car and run toward Payrile Phamarcy, 700 Cherry. As the pair broke the front door, Robinson headed toward them and Detective Bill Lloyd stopped his car in front of the vehicle vacated by the pair. A third man who remained near the parked car was quickly taken into custody.

Hearing the commotion, (he two men who entered the pharmacy tried to run outside but were ordered to lie down. Robinson said both wore nylon stocking masks and gloves, and one was armed with a .23 caliber revolver. The latter suspect spit on Lloyd and had to be forced into the paddy wagon for the trip to headquarters, where he broke custody and ran from the booking room, police said. The fugitive, who was not located in Planning Caitiaaed frsm Page IB to advise the council If the amendment passes. Bell said, and the review process would take up much of the council's time.

Current commission chairwoman Carolyn Gerdes said the planning commission has reviewed the charter amendment, but hasn't taken a position on It. yLevy Csstiased from Page IB buses, they bought four and leased an additional bus," moots said. School officials had said before the August election they wanted to use part of the money that would have been generated by a 62-cent increase to buy two school buses. Dalrymple said Sunday, however, that four buses already were ordered before the levy election last August. Part of the 62-cent increase would have been used to buy two additional buses, he said.

"One of them was ordered out of last year's budget and received last March," Dalrymple said. "The other three buses came out of this year's budget. They were ordered before I got here." i Colli nson Csitiaaed frsm Page IB "I don't think anyone fears you," said Collinson. deftly flicking a dangling cigarette ash into a trash ran. "One of the most difficult things for a new judge is not to get into the lawsuit yourself.

You have to let the lawyer try his case." Collinson continued. "On the other hand, you have to run your courtroom and with the load of litigation facing the courts, you have to get on lawyers who don't prepare their cases and try to prejudice the jury with inadmissible evidence. "The judge has to keep things going smoothly." Many more Springfieldlans know the easily smiling Bill Collinson than the stern and honorable judge. Bora la Iowa, Collinson and his parents moved to Springfield in 1128. and he graduated from high school in 1921.

He is a member of the Drury College class of IS33 and returned to Springfield after obtaining bis law degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1933. Collinson, a Democrat, was elected Greene County prosecuting attorney in 1940 and again in 1942. but he resigned In 1943 to enlist In the Navy. He was appointed circuit judge In 1941 and then won election In his own right in 1930, '52. '58 and '(4.

During those years, he doubled as juvenile judge. "I miss politics." Collinson said. "I used to go to every national convention, but now 1 won't evea go to the Jackson Day Banquet. I've just divorced myself from politics. "But my wife hasnt.

She Is going to have an Anderson bumper sticker on the car." In 1963 at the age of S2, Collinson was appointed federal district judge by President Lyndon B. Johnson. "When I was a circuit judge. I wanted to be on the Springfield Court of Appeals," Collinson said. "Since I was named a federal judge, 1 have never had any interest in being an appellate judge, ho just reads opinions and transcripts.

"Tbe trial judge goes to work each and every day and something new and different comes up every day. The Job is never boring. Collinson will accept senior status Sept. which will reduce the number of cases he hears. He chose not to re tire.

It ah will mean that be and his wife can leave Kansas City and return to Springfield, lie retained bis legal residence in Christian County. lie hopes that will give dim more time for quail bunting "my love in life" and canoeing. Another pas L. Caswell FORDLAND Services Bessie L. Caswell.

Mayor Paul Redfearn couldn't be Teachers: Smoots said Sunday the school reinstated five of seven teachers who lost their jobs hen the levy increase was defeated last August Dalrymple said: "Through federal funding, we have instituted a X'tle program. We employed three teachers with that program who are teaching remedial mathematics." he said. "We are not using local funds to pay them, and they tn no way replace the teachers who were released before I came." Smoots said his group of about JO people Intentionally kept a low profile until now. "We did not want to tip our hand sinn is smallmoutb bass fishing on the Fmley River. It's easy to while away a couple of hours talking and laughing with Bill Collinson.

But it only takes one topic habitual criminals to return a little of the bite into the judge's voice. "You get cases where you feel very sorry for the people," Collinson said. "A woman with four children and no husband forges a Social Secunty check and you have a lot of sympathy. "Then, you have some guy who is 43 or and he's been in three bank holdups and he is back before you again. Do you think you are ever going to rehabilitate that man?" Stronger laws are needed tor crimes of violence and longer sentences so that repeat offenders can be kept off the streets, Collinson said.

"There is no question we have a tremendous crime problem tn the United States today." said Collinson, whose house in Kansas City has been burglarized eight times. "One problem Is the lack of adequate funding at the street level for investigation and enforcement." Collinson takes issue with those who blame the judicial system for releasing dangerous people en legal technicalities. "Everybody talks about the technicalities." Collinson said "Is it a technicality if a couple ot police officers search your house without a warrant? That violate a fundamental right of every American citizen. "besides we're not talking about technicalities. We're talking about constitutional rights." If a person is guilty, there should be enough evidence for a conviction even if an Improper confession or evidence found in aa illegal search is throws out by a judge.

Collinson ssid. Too often, however, police take a confession and won't go ahead and develop the rest of the case, he said. Everything then falls apart if the confession wont hold up. That doesn't happen often, the judge said. Defendant'! rights are being protected, and a large percentage of the cases beard by juries result tn convictions.

As a judge, Collinson considers himself a moderate. He equally dislikes "knee-jerk libers!" judges who vote yes if a rase has the proper label and "dinonsaur ronNervatlves who pretend times have never changed. lie admires Earl Wsrrea more thsa any other Supreme Court justice. "Warren did a tremendous job of keeping that court cohesive with a di- verse group of men, and ht was a good administrator. "Although Warrea is labeled a liberal, I bet there were more dissents reached for comment Sunday night.

Bell said be and the other former commission chairmen don't oppose the first part of the which officially establishes a planning department and puts the planning director on equal footing with other department heads. He said they would like to see the Issues submitted in separate amendments. that we had an organized opposition to this levy, so our opponents couldn counterpart," said. Although Smoots' group has about 30 members and received contributions from about 43 persons, he thinks a larger number of people support its efforts. "I believe the community is supporting us, because this will be the sixth election.

Last August, it was de feated by the largest majority than ever defeated before. Certainly a ma jortty of the people are behind us." People who support the levy increase are not conducting an active campaign in this election. But school officials said they are asking for the 4i-cent increase only because of parents' request by the court's liberals than the conservatives." Some of the Supreme Court's decisions have been cnticied as attempts to usurp the legislative power ot Congress, Collinson said. But on issues such as one-man. one-vote and school desegregation.

Congress would have never acted, he said In I960, Collinson was on a three-judge panel which ordered the Missouri General Assembly to re-draw state legislative districts so each included about the same number of residents. Before the Supreme Court made Its: one-man. one-vote doctrine, the nun ber of voters in each district varied I considerably, Collinson said. That usually meant the vote of rural rest- dents counted more than the vote of a I person in a city. As a result, conservative, rural rep- -resentatives controlled state tegtsla- tors.

"Legislators could have never done it because of the self-interest." Collinson said. "A lot of people didn't like the Supreme Court's one-man. one-vote decision, but no one could say It" wasn't more democratit." Although the Supreme Court Isa major factor in social change, district judges rarely are, Collinson said. According to their oath, district judges have to follow the decisions of the Supreme Court, even If they per; sonally disagree with the court's post-'; tion. Collinson said.

Occasionally, a district judge will-have to rule in a area where the Su-, pre me Court has Dot set a precedents -the judge said. "That's when you have ta be a prophet and guess what the Court would do." Four of Collinson'! cases have gone to the Supreme Court after the diS'I trict Court of Appeals overturned his decision. Each time the Supreme Court reversed the appeals court and -agreed with his findings, Collinson- said with pride. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly-'' bow quiet-talking Bill Collinson csn! don the robes, climb the steps up the bench and as Judge William R. Col-; Iinson sentence a person ta life prison without any apparent qualms.

Back la his chambers, there are'- bints that the king rays of a sun can make Collinson wonder why he doesn't just settle down along the" banks of the Ftnley River and let the" world take care of itself. Maybe someday the judge will. But, it seems unlikely that will hap- pea until Bill Collinson and his sensed -of justice art too tired to care any-J-more. tl ji i- J- 'f l-MA. v.o.

Only once during the concert did Rundgrea display the high, technical, prisleen. childlike blues that have made him famous. When be sang "Tbe Last Time" be was singing the kind of music the crowd came to bear. The mood of the crowd was clearly expressed when Rundgrea bsed bis guitar pick into the audience. Nobody grabbed for it nobody evea stood up.

After listening to aa hour of the deafening, yet sterile performance, it's easier to understand what all thtrke punk rockers art yelling about If Rundgren's boring performance is where American rock music is going, it's enough to make you want to put a safety pia through your nose.

That unfortunate since anther Kassim Sutton, bassist, or Roger Powell, keyboards, are particularly strong vocalists, nor were they able to develop a rapport with the audience which had waited half an hour to see them.
