County to consider zoning amendment Saline County Commissioners will consider again an amendment to' the county planning and zoning regulations when they meet at 10 aim. Tuesday.

'The amendment would create two agricultural districts in the county. One, called AG, would include areas not subdivided. The second, AG-R, would include areas that are to be subdivided. Current regulations allow land to be subdivided into three acres or more, yet remain agriculturally zoned. "According to a county planning department staff report, the AG district $jp designed to protect land for agricul- Jftiral uses.

The AG designation is "in- to control the scattered intru- fttan of uses incompatible with an agri- fbtiltural environment," the report The AG-R distict, on the other uihahd, will provide for a broad range of 'agricultural activities and will also non-agricultural uses. Some of the uses that would be per- rjnitted in the AG-R district include and chapels, schools, single ifamily dwellings, home occupations, unit developments, public buildings, as well as some livestock and crop production. The staff report also states that the amendment will provide developers with a method of receiving a prelimi- nary indication from the planning com- mission concerning their property prior to investing money to meet the subdivision requirements. In addition, the change would allow the planning commission to consider whether the use permitted on the reclassified property is compatible with uses on other property in the immediate vicinity, whether adequate sewer and water facilities exist or can be provided, and the general amount of vacant land that currently has the same zoning classification as the property in question. The commission considered the amendment Oct.

23, but two landowners who opposed the plan, Dan King and Elmer Dawdy, requested that the commissioners table any ruling on the amendment until they had investigated its effects. Dawdy feared the amendment would increase taxes, but the commissioners were unsure the change would affect taxation. The only other item already on the commissioners' agenda is opening bids for two sheriff's patrol cars. EPA to probe herbicide MUSKEGON, Mich.

Dee Carder, 23, con- venue, McCowan was convicted of first-degree murder under the felony murder rule. That rule provides a person can be guilty of first-degree murder if he commits a felony in which a person dies. The high court reversed that conviction because the felony involved escape from custody was found to be an improper charge.

Simons had stopped McCowan for a parole violation after an order for his arrest had been canceled. In addition, the arrest occurred outside Leoti, beyond Simons' jurisdiction. For those reasons, he was not considered to be properly in custody. In his second trial, this time held in Reno County, McCowan was convicted of first-degree murder on the basis of premeditation. That was the conviction upheld Saturday.

(UPI) A Dartmouth Medical School professor has called for an investigation into the possibility President Franklin D. Roosevelt died of cancer not of a massive brain hemorrhage as history records. A spokesman for the Roosevelt family has denied the contention and medical records to prove or disprove the theory have vanished.

Dr. Harry S. Goldsmith, in an article in the journal Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics, said evidence exists FDR died of a dangerous form of skin cancer. He died in 1945, shortly after being re-elected to a fourth term. Old photographs show Roosevelt had a dark growth over his left eye.

It disappeared in 1944, suggesting it was surgically removed, Goldsmith said.

Index drops, but economists still deny recession WASHINGTON (UPI) The government's barometer of economic boom and recession plunged in October to its lowest level in two years, but an economist in charge of the index says it still does not mean the nation is in a recession. The Commerce Department said Friday the index of leading indicators fell 0.9 percent to an October level of 138.8, its lowest point since September 1977, when it was an even 138. "It does not yet tell us whether we are in a recession," cautioned Feliks Tamm, the Commerce Department economist in charge of the index. He said one month's figures show little and frequently are revised later.

Tamm said the "underlying trend" of the index in recent months indicates the economy is either standing still or entering a decline, but does not show how deep any recession might be. Michael Evans, president of Evans Economics, a Washington forecasting firm, said the index shows the results of the Federal Reserve's Oct. 6 tightening of money and credit and the effect this had had on housing. A 13 percent decline in the index for building permits contributed most to the October decline in the index. Evans noted that other big contributors were a drop in the money supply and in liquid assets, both of which also reflect tighter money.

The Agriculture Department said Friday that increases were nearly offset by declines in prices for cattle, corn, grapefruit, lemons and wheat. Farmers' expenses for such things as feed, fuel, interest and farm supplies were unchanged in November, but they were 14 percent higher than a year ago. The index of farmers' expenses for November equaled an all-time record set in October. Prices received by farmers for crops and livestock were 3.6 percent below an all-time record set in May.

November prices gained back a little bit of the ground lost when October prices dropped two percent. Farmers' prices account for about one-third of the cost of retail food prices. The rest of the food dollar pays for transporting, processing and marketing food. Month-to-month variations in raw farm prices do not show up immediately in the supermarket, but trends do. The Agriculture Department has predicted that increases in retail prices for the rest of the year will be moderate.

Food price inflation for 1979 is expected to be 11 percent. Food infla-: tion next year is forecast to be 7 toll percent. Send your news tip to The Salina Journal, $45 in prizes every week. sum smn-suiu 113 I. WCUVE-UUiK 211 V.
