He's made the basketball team." Discussing the major waterfront development, Carroll said that the people of Paducah had set the stage for it by spending $2 million for a downtown facelift in 1977 and 1978 and by promising to upgrade downtown buildings at a cost of $3 million. Green said the waterfront complex, to be built with federal, state an local funds, as well as his own money, will have a convention hall seating as many as 2,200 people. He said a showroom for big-name entertainment would accommodate 800. Green also said a high-rise section of the complex, which he called a hotel, would have 200 rooms, and the motel part would have another 150.

Green said the complex will employ 400 people and have an annual payroll of about $2 million. Green said he expects the center to draw 125 convention and seminar-type of Interstate 24, construction of which had dragged on for 23 years. Carroll also said he thought an access road from 1-24 to downtown Paducah, which will serve the convention center as well as other parts of the city at a cost of about $12 million, was a major achievement for his hometown. At a ribbon-cutting opening a segment of 1-24, a smiling Carroll told the crowd that he was looking for a job. Spotting a retired grocer, Randolph Gore of Kuttawa, the governor said, "I worked for Randolph sacking groceries when he was at Lone Oak, and I guess I can ask him for a job now." Carroll said at the luncheon that he and his family would live in Frankfort but did not say what his other plans are.

He did say, however, that his youngest son, Brad, is in high school in Frankfort and wants to stay there. "That little boy I took to Frankfort when he was 7 years old (Carroll was speaker of the House then) is now 15 By BILL POWELL Courier-Journal Staff Writer PADUCAH, Ky. On his last day in office, Gov. Julian Carroll spread some sunshine for the home folks yesterday. He and Robert Green, millionaire contractor and businessman from Indiana, announced that Green would build a $6 million hotel-motel complex in Paducah.

Carroll said Green added the final financial stroke necessary for a $14 million center on Paducah's Ohio River waterfront. And the outgoing governor told a luncheon audience at the Paducah Country Club, where the public-private enterprise was announced, that he was proud to have been "of some help" to his hometown in Western Kentucky during his five years as governor. He referred to extensive road construction in the Paducah, Fulton and Murray areas, and to near-completion 80.000 BTU Model UGI SOD 13. COMPLETE WITH ELECTRIC IGNITION SAVES ENERGY.

Carroll seemed to be in a mellow, sentimental mood. He mildly criticized the news media for not reporting many of the achievements of his administration and for negative reporting of other issues, which he did not identify.

Carroll, at both the luncheon and the highway ceremony, said, "If you had given me three more weeks in office I would have completed 1-24. As it is, I have let every contract for completing it, and it is nearly done." The segment of 1-24 opened yesterday runs from KY 453 northeast of Kentucky Dam to a link-up with U.S. 62 and U.S. 641 between Kuttawa and Eddy-ville in Lyon County. Carroll mounted a platform on the highway west of the Cumberland River 1-24 bridge to tell a crowd of about 200 that the 8.1-mile segment of road cost $35 million.

The only unopened portion of the highway from Chattanooga, to the St. Louis area is a stretch of about 22 miles between U.S. 62-641 in Lyon County and U.S. 68 in Trigg County. D.

O. Sullivan, state highway-construction engineer, said the Cumberland River bridge cost $21 million almost three times the expected figure.

Gov. Julian Carroll has restored the civil rights of H. M. Dunn who served three years and a month in prison on charges stemming from the 1972 collapse of the Prudential and American building and loan associations in Louisville. Restoration of Dunn's civil rights was one of a number of similar actions that Carroll took in the last days of his administration.

Dunn and his son, H. M. Dunn were sentenced to 10 years in prison on state charges of embezzlement and conspiracy and 15 years each on federal charges of income-tax evasion. The sentences ran concurrently. They were paroled by the state in May 1975 from the Kentucky State Reformatory near La Grange and transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution near Lexington.

They were paroled from there in 1976. The order signed by Carroll said that the elder Dunn applied to have his civil rights restored. The elder Dunn was president of Prudential when it collapsed in April 1972 and was thrown into receivership, and his son was secretary-treasurer of that company and president of American. Prudential had been the largest state-chartered savings and loan association in Kentucky, with about 12,000 depositors and $33 million in deposits. The Kentucky Court of Appeals ruled last September that the state is liable for losses suffered by the depositors when the building and loan associations were found insolvent, closed and placed into receivership.

In other actions, Carroll pardoned Paul Stanley Gimbel, who was convicted of forgery in Jefferson Circuit Court and sentenced to three years in prison in 1959. The order said that Gimbel's civil rights were restored in 1969, and that he has spent hundreds of hours working with young people as a volunteer probation officer.
