Magistrate E.

A. Barbour found Mrs. Austa Fitzpatrick guilty on Wednesday and as sessed a $25 fine plus costs but then remittedrthe fine. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was accused of an Oct.

9 offense on the com plaint of Mrs, Faye Sissel, 740 East Monroe. A Southwestern Bell Telephone Company official testified that a checking device showed the defendant's phone rang the plaintiff's phone 18 times in one day. The device recorded no conversation.

New Administrator At Lock wood Hospital LOCKWOOD James Armey, fqrmcr administrative assistant St City Hospital in Ne vada, has taken over as administrator of Memorial Hospital here. He succeeds Lester Pyle, who resigned after 19 months on the job.

Parking Ratio Gets Approval The Board of Adjustment re- reversed itself on the question of smaller than required parking lots for public housing projects and approved two such requests last night. The approvals were for high rise apartment units for the elderly. Present cityzoning ordinanc-es require apartments to have one parking space for each dwelling unit. That requirement will be increased to two parking spaces per unit in the proto-type zoning ordinance now under consideration by the planning department. But the department and the board gave approval to requests from builders of two of the city' 's public housing projects, on the argument that the elderly don't have as many autos as regular apartment users.

The board's vote was 4 to 1 in favor of requests by Johnson, Moore. McLean-, -an architectural and construction combinefor only 52 parking spaces for an 84-unit apartment to be built at the northeast cor-ner of South Avenue and Madison. Thesarrre vote prevailed on a request from Cousins Construction Company, represented by architect Ed Waters, for only 66 parking spaces for an 132-unit high rise at Madison and Market. The lone dissenter was attorney LourcTi G. (Racy) Davidson whose single no vote six months ago stopped the Madison-Market project which was resubmitted last night.

Davidson's no vote was worth more six months ago because not all the members of the board were present. Four votes are needed for approval of all matters before the board. The board has previously approved a similar request for the only city housing project under construction, a high rise for the ietrTerly at Mt. vcrnon ahcTiraf- ket. In other business the board approved a request for a front yard requirement for Joe Steel-man, in the 1900 Block East Page.

Also approved was a request from developer Bob Wright for a rear yard exception for three four-plcxes in Hickory Village Subdivision. Allied Stores Pick Officers The board of directors of Allied Stores Corporation, which owns Hcer's, here, Thursday elected the company's president, Theodore Schlesinger, as chairman of the board. The board also named a new president and an executive vice president in moves designed to broaden the firm's top manage ment structure. The announcement was made by Schlesinger, who as chair man will continue to head the $1.3 billion department store organization as chief executive officer. AUied's new president and chief administrative officer is Thomas M.

Macioce, 51, who has been senior vice president in charge of operations. Macioce has been with Allied Stores since 1960 and has been a member of the board of directors since 1966. Robert Macht was named executive vice president, a new general management post which will involve direction of AUied's merchandising activities. Macht, also 51, has spent his entire business career with Allied Stores, having joined the company upon graduation from college in 1939. He was elected to AUied's board of directors in 1968.

Schlesinger, 61, has been with Allied since its founding in 1929. He became assistant to the president in 1939, vice president in 1945, a director in 1955, and was named president in 1959. Two years later he became chief executive officer.

Assistant Prosecutor Mike O'Neal requested the action, saying that records showed Ron ald E. Davis, 34, of 1665 East Division, had gone on to work driving a truck and was in Georgia despite a subpoena served by sheriff's deputies requiring his presence in court yesterday. Mrs. Davis was in the court room and was asked by the judge if her husband was served and then went on the trip any way. She said that was true.

Defense attorney John Hos- mer said a continuance would be over his objections, that he wanted a speedy trial for Don ald Leroy Asbury, 31, of 1826 South Florence, who is charged with felonious assault. asTiirefl that Asbury would have his speedy hearing as soon as Davis could be gotten into court. Davis tola police ne was stabbed after he went home unexpectedly early on Dec. 27 and found Asbury in. his bed.

He was not seriously injured. runner court action was scheduled for Jan. 19. Man Found On Sidewalk Is Serious Found semi-conscious and partially frozen early yesterday, a 59-year-old Arkansas man remained, in serious condition last night in the intensive care unit at Cox Medical Center. Officer Bob Williams took the victim, Cecil B.

Eichen, Jones-boro, to police headquarters to "thaw out" after a Frisco em ploye found the man lying face down on the sidewalk at Camp- bell and Mill at 2 a.m. He then was admitted to the hospital. Williams said Eichen, suffering from exposure and frostbite, told hospital attendants that a car struck him, but later said" the "only thing that struck him was the sidewalk," indicating he slipped, fell, and was unable to get up. Eichen was enroute to Jones- boro from Sterling, Wil liams said. The temperature was a death-dealing minus 3 degrees when Eichen was found.

Another man had a close call at 3 a.m. yesterday when he slipped and fell twice on ice near Patterson and East Traf-ficway. On the second fall, Doyle E. Freeman, 25, of 428A North Patterson, suffered a right leg frac ture and lay helpless until his plight was discovered by a mo torist who assisted him. Freeman was listed in good condition last night at Cox Medical Ccn ter.

Loss $10,000 As Building, Hay Burn in County A fire on a farm near Bois D'Arc yesterdav destroyed an equipment building and some 4500 bales of hay, and owner J. B. White estimates the damage will amount to nearly $10,000. Firefighting units from Bois D'Arc, Republic, Halltown and Nichols Junction were called to the scene about 9:20 a.m. The farm is located a mile north of Yakley Chapel off West Mo.

266. Value of the large building, which was totally destroyed, is estimated at $5000, and the remainder of the loss was attributed to market value of the hay, estimated at more than $4000. Sheriff's deputies said farm equipment in the building was saved. The fire is believed to have started from an electrical unit in a pumphouse adjoining the structure, deputies said. Evangel Gets Library Grant A Sears Foundation grant for purchase of library books has been received by Evangel College.

The gift is part of the foundation's program to help strengthen private college libraries.

Culver represented the University of Missouri at the meeting and promised to help with cost estimates of the wnole program Sparking the whole movement and bringing the experts together to see what could be done was the Lake of the Ozarks Area Development Council, which sees its task as interesting the entire population in the idea. "Once we get the plan," said Jack A. Payne, Camdenton law yer, implementation will be worked out." This may have been said to reassure Prather, who ex-pr considerable doubt about implementation. Prather said his planning commission will have a planner hired this month. The planner is ixp'ected to work with the Department of Affairs.

Smith, within the limitations of his own budget, has already made pollution studies in the lake area and his studies will be available for the big planning ef fort Smith told the' gathering that though the board's surveys had been "minimal" he could say that the water in the Lake of the Ozarks is generally good quality, with a few trouble spots. Smith later told The News that the trouble spots may not be in the same places from one day to the next. "We arc concerned," he said, "that future problems may cause rapid deterioration." "We," Payne told the meeting, "arc dedicated to the preservation of a pure water lake. We recognize the dangers to the lake. We want to get a definite, meaningful program under way." Payne said his council is interested in the entire lake area all the 1800 miles of shore line: "So far it has not been regu Iated in he said.

Payne spoke -of "provable population growth" and declared "one of the greatest assets in the state of Missouri is in definite danger." "We know planning and zoning are necessary." said Payne. "We agree with you," said Leach, who told Payne his eiti zen group could be a big asset to the realization of the plan. In discussing what the whole thing would cost, Phil Clark of the Department of Community Affairs said: "It's a question of what people and industries will pay to save the lake." Clark hinted that special improvement districts might be necessary. He indicated that the right controls might mean stop-p i development in some places and banning development in others. These could be hard elections, he suggested.

"The resort ovvners are with us," said Payne. "We weren't sure they would be. "And so is the Camdenton Chamber of Commerce, the Lions, the Rotarians, the Business and Professional Women." "There is no substitute for local effort," commented Smith. "We cannot afford to let the lake die," said Mrs. A.

Harold Schmidt, secretary of Payne's council. "I know we're going to do it, implement the plan. "Unless we do something, we're going to lose our lake." Payne mentioned that developers near Roach had emptied septic tanks into the lake. "It's the fast buck boys you've got to control," said Clark. "People will be retiring on a cesspool unless they're willing to pay the price to prevent it," said Leach.

Judges, Board To Meet Today Greene County's three circuit judges will hold the first meet ing with their recently named county jail Board of Visitors at 3:30 p.m. today. The session will be held in one of the judges' offices. Circuit Judge James H. Kcet, who along with Judges Jack A.

Fit-zpatrick, of Greenfield, will fill the new vacancy. sum mat prior 10 me I i esmi-iu 3 duuuuuitrilllllL, wt were anticipating about a $50 million exDenditure Droeram for Since the Corps had many long term construction projects under contract at the time of the announcement, the total expenditures for this fiscal year will not reflect the big cutback, but the expenditures for next year will. Anderson said. "With the 75 percent cutback, our construction program is phasing way down Turning to civil projects. Col.

Anderson said "the announcement to cut back 75 percent in construction contract awards had the effect e.f clef erring about one-third of our scheduled contract awards. These deferrals, of course, will cause some minor delavs in com 'pletion of projects. Fortunately, we awarded some major con tracts before the 'freeze order' came and, therefore, we are not hurting as much as we could I have been." Construction continues on the Stockton Reservoir in southwest Missouri. the colonel noted. "The project is about 83 percent complete.

We closed the gates there last month so water is being impounded. Our fiscal year 1970 budget calls for $5 million additional funds to continue construction." In connection wilh the Stockton project, he said, there are two contracts to be advertised in the summer which should result in contract awards totaling about $2.5 million. These contracts, Anderson said, are for second stage roads and parking in public use areas and for rec-reational facilities In the ptrbltc use areas. "We hope to wind up the overall project in March, 1972. "And then," Anderson said, "there is poor old Kaysinger Bluff down on the Osage near Warsaw.

I need not tell you how much this project has suffered from lack of construction funds. The over-all project is only about 16 percent complete. Construction work has come to a complete halt. "We have $6.5 million in the budget for construction there in fiscal year 1970. The way things are going, we are about seven years away from completion.

We hope to advertise three projects this spring. The largest one will be for the spillway, completion of the embankment, and the powerhouse substructure," Col, Anderson said. "The other tvp. are for road for Mo. 7 and Route KK near Warsaw.

One of these road projects includes the construction of a bridge approximately one mile in length, Anderson concluded. Suicide CONTINUED FROM PACK 25 3 wire extension cord wrapped around his neck was attached through a ceiling trapdoor to a rafter in the attic. A chair near the body appeared to have been used to stand on. Thomas told police he cut the cord and then called authorities. Young Thomas was taken to St.
