Paducah Mayor Dolly McNutt said yesterday she was "disappointed" by a decision of special prosecutor L. M.

Tipton Reed of Mayfield not to request a special grand jury to investigate bail bonding practices here. "I'm disappointed but I accept the decision I have no other choice," she said. "If I knew in what other direction to jump, I would jump. I have been advised that Mr. Reed made the decision in compliance with the statutes and I respect his judgment." The special jury had been recommended by a committee formed in May by the mayor and McCracken County Judge Andrew Palmer to probe bail-bond conditions here.

In its final report the committee recommended a special grand jury, a special prosecutor and an ordinance regulating bail-bonding in the city. The ordinance was adopted but on Aug. 4 McCracken Circuit Judge C. Warren Eaton issued a temporary injunction against its enforcement. Reed, appointed by the attorney general, also is Graves County commonwealth's attorney.

He said Tuesday night he felt that a special grand jury would repeat investigative work done by a January grand jury. Ed Paducah attorney, who headed the bail-bond investigating committee, noted that Reed said he would submit a report to Atty. Gen. Ed Hancock and would ask him to send it to the mayor and the committee. Miller said he wanted to read the re- port before commenting on Reed's Mir wfrA -trwA 1 Mir 4.

Previously the president and one vice president of the student organization were the only student voters on the board, he pointed out.

The board also ratified Western's participation in "Eagle University" at Ft. Campbell a post school permitting schoolwork by military personnel and civilian workers and their dependents from the high-school through the postgraduate levels. Western will cooperate with six other universities, Hopkinsville Community College in the University of Kentucky community college system, and the Ft.

In other action, the board: Adopted a "statement on grants and contracts" based in part on state statutes regarding grants and avoidance of conflicts of interest.

Downing said it would Dave By BILL POWELL Courier-Journal Staff Writer BOWLING GREEN, Ky. The Western Kentucky University board of regents decided yesterday to give students more voting strength on the Academic Councilthe advisory group that recommends university academic policies. The new council will have six voting students; the old one had two. The board's action produced a net expansion of four in the number of voting members on the council, from 51 to 55. The board brought about the expansion by giving voting rights to six students elected by the university colleges and by removing voting privileges from two officers bf the Associated Students, Western's student-government organization.

The president and two vice presidents of the Associated Students will be associate members of the board, however.

Pravda ran a long article July 2 that accused Syomin of taking bribes from Ivan I.

Babich, director of a state farm in Moldavia. The paper said Syomin accepted cases of Moldavian apples and wine, chickens, lard and other produce of the state farm, a free vacation in a Moldavian village and a country house built by the state farm's workers. 1 In return, Syomin provided a seeding laboratory for Babick's farm, adding machines for his administrative offices, equipment for classrooms in an attached technical school and several television sets, Pravda said.
