(Gazette photo) Lack of State Park Tragic, Mittness Says Rock County is losing milliohs of dollars each year becouse of to develop its recreational resources, 1st District Assemblyman Lewis Mittness said yesterday.

Mittness spoke to the Janesville Family Campers Association at their meeting in the YWCA. He told them he long has been disturbed at watching thousands of tourists pass through Rock County on a weekend, heading north to spend their dollars. When he asked the State Conservation Department to develop a major state park in the county, he said, he was notified by the department that Rock County does not have an area beautiful enough or a body of water large enough to meet "so-called department standards." He was asked to inform the department if he could find an appropriate site. Mittness said yesterday he is forming a committee to study four possible state park locations and will welcome additional recommendations by inteerst- ed citizens. Should Have 1,200 Acres "We are located less than 125 miles from a major population center and situated on a heavily traveled superhighway jammed with tourists, and we need more and better parks and other recreational we need them now," he said.

"A county this size, and with our population, should have at least 1,200 acres in county parks. It has less than 300 acres. "When you consider state parks, it Is much worse. It adds up to zero. Studies Locations "Rock County citizens send a lot of money to Madison in the form of taxes and it gets nothing in return when it comes to state parks.

This county should have at least one major state park within its boundariess. Mittness said, "I'm going to let the Conservation Department know about possible sites, you bet." He said that anyone who has driven through Rock County or lives in the county knows there are scores of possible locations. "The idea that there isn't enough beauty shocks me," he said. "The suggestion that a park to have an ocean located on its boundaries doesn't register well either." The assemblyman stated it was "about time a little imagination is used to develop parks in the southern part of the state where most of the people live and to develop the water acreage where it is desired. There are ample places in Rock County where this can be done, where it should and will be done.

The tragic neglect of the devel opmeat of the Rock recreational, park and tourist facilities must stop." Fire Destroys Farm in Clinton CLINTON-An oU-fed fire this morning destroyed a small frame house on the James Mawhinney farm. Trescher Road north of Townllne Road. Pour children of the Eliseo Carabajal family were rushed from the house by Mrs. Carabajal after she heard the flames crackling. She then ran to a nearby farm to call the Clinton fire department, at 9:10 a.m.

Fire Chief Douglas Wenman said the fire apparently was caused by an overheated furnace, "We probably could have con-) tained the fire in the kitchen area, which was blazing when we arrived," Wenman said, "except that the fire burned through the floor and ruptured the oil tank in the basement. The tank had been filled with 270 gallons of oil Saturday. It fed Uie flames like a blowtorch." The Carabajals lost all of their belongings and the house was a total loss, Wenman said. His de partment battled the blaze for over two hours. THE WEATHER FIVE DAY FORECAST WISCONSIN Temptratures Tuesday through will near or a liule btlow normal.

Dial 754-6290 3.400 Attend YMCA Show Attendance at the weekend Industrial and Engineerhig Exhibition at the Janesville YMCA totaled 3,431 persons, it was reported by Roger E. Krempel, chairman of the sponsoring Rock River Valley Chapter of Wisconsin Professional Engineers. Krempel said the big day was yesterday when attendance was 2,100 We are very pleased with the turnout for the show and had many fine comments from those who viewed it and also from the exhibitors. Because of space limitations there were some persons, however, who were unable to view the fine Previews of Progress program offered by General Motors. We wish we had not had to disappoint them but during some of the peak hours attendance ran up to 500 persons an hour." The engineering organization arranged such a show for the first time this year and Krempel said while no decision has been made as to future shows of that nature, very likely they might be arranged on an every other year basis.

Members of Hi-Y and Y's Men's clubs aided in monitoring and other duties in connection with the exhibition. Besides the science and industrial phases of the exhibition, tlie judo club of the YMCA put on show which proved to be of great interest, Krempel said. 4-H Speakers in Contest More than 60 Rock County 4-H club speaking contest winners will compete for county honors at 8 p.m. today at the courthouse.

Grace-Rlngold, Latest Stocks 10-Point Jump NEW YORK (AP)-A 10-point jump by Kennecott failed to inspire a sliding stock market early this afternoon. Tradmg was active. The list headed lower on balance, continuing last week's trend.

Kennecott was halted temporarily in trading as the stock ran up lO'A to 142. Further response to the 3-for-l stock split proposed by the No. 1 copper producer was cited for the rise, as well as strength in copper futures. Anaconda came along with a 2-point spurt but other coppers were mixed. Some of the weightiest blue chips backed away, however, including some of the biggest chemicals, all Big Three motors and leading issues in aerospace and electrical equipment.

Admit Preliminary Hearing Testimony in Ottow Trial BELOIT Questions and answers in a preliminary hearing of Dr. A. F.

Ottow, 73, ui connection with accusations of performing criminal abortions today were admitted in evidence at his trial here. Judge Richard W. Orton, Lancaster, acting carefully In a somewhat delicate area of law, ruled that a transcript of testimony given by Miss Dehna Hammond, 26, now of San Francisco, can be placed before the Ottow jury. Such evidence has been used in other cases, he said, and is permissive. But the judge said he would read the transcript of the preliminary hearing himself, screening any references which he regards as improper for the jury at this time.

He said that state and defense attorneys will be permitted to object in turn during the readmg, scheduled for afternoon. One of the abortion counts against Dr. Ottow is based upon accusations by Miss Hammond. The other counts are based upon alleged abortions involving two Madison women. Testimony was given last week by Mrs.

Beverly Tuggle and by Mrs. LaRita Long. Judge Orton disclosed that a California court was asked to aoprove extradition for Miss Hammond but refused on the ground that she was undergoing psychiatritlc treatment arising out of the Ottow case, and it was held that it would not be in her best interests to be returned to Wisconsin. Sheriffs officers today were en route back to Janesville with Sam Cerro, formerly of Madison, arrested with Dr. Ottow.

He entered pleas of guUty to arranging for abortions and is serving a prison term. Cerro is scheduled to be called as a state witness today or tomorrow. The Day Log PROBATE COURT Petition for Hansen, Beloit, died Dec. 20: heirs, daughters, Mrs. Viola Staffacher, Orfordville, Mrs.
