Volunteers remove church rubble MOUNDRIDGE (AP) Volunteers were giving Eden Mennonite Church a burial of sorts Wednesday, ad one that may take weeks to complete. With freezing rain and light snow, 6. I temperatures in the 20s and brisk northerly winds, about two dozen -7 volunteers helped remove rubble a from the church, which burned Jan. 25, for burial in a nearby pasture. 23 Several Moundridge contractors 1.1• supplied heavy equipment to help remove the twisted remains at the 4.1 rural site, midway between Moundridge and McPherson.

Backhoes and Dole may have called SBA for Palmer WASHINGTON (AP) Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole, called the head of the Small Business Administration in 1983 and asked that the agency help a former aide obtain a government contract, a House committee said Wednesday. The former Dole aide secured a $26 million no-bid contract about two years later, and government agencies are investigating whether there was any wrongdoing in the awarding of the job. Walt Riker, a Dole spokesman, said the senator "can't recall" placing the call. Dole The disclosure by the staff of the House Small Business Committee raised new questions about Dole's personal involvement in the soliciting of the contract for EDP Enterprises which is owned by John Palmer, the former Dole aide. On Tuesday, the committee said a preliminary investigation found that a Dole staffer had contacted the business agency several times about the contract for providing food service at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo.

However, the committee chairman, Rep. John J. LaFalce, said there was nothing to suggest Dole was "personally involved in any questionable event or occurrence." The committee issued a two-page memorandum outlining its latest finding. It said 1 Robert Lhulier, the chief of staff to former business administration Administrator James Sanders, disclosed the November 1983 call during an interview with committee investigators late Tuesday. According to the memo, Lhulier said Sanders told him that Dole "called to request that the SBA try to help one of his former aides, John Palmer, secure" a minority set-aide contract.

Mike Petitt, Dole's administrative assistant, then called Lhulier and a meeting with top business administration officials was arranged for Palmer. Riker said no record of the call could be found in the senator's office and that Dole aides had talked with Sanders, who told them he also could not drawn every Saturday. Lottery Big, Win Launched Big," on the Lotto theme America of is "Think the (Continued from Page 1) weather for low sales as snow bianketed most of the state Wednesday. "Also, I don't think this was advertised as much as the regular lottery," Harrison said. Frick said advertising for the Lotto started late because the Kansas House of Representatives did not pass legislation ratifying Kansas' participation in the game until Jan.

27, one week before the start of the game. "We waited to advertise because we didn't want to look like we were just going ahead without legislative approval," Frick said. "We would have preferred to send out fliers and advertise it a little earlier, but it (the game) got plenty of early news coverage." Frick said lotto games normally start slowly because of the nature of the game. "One reason is that there is not a jackpot drawing until Feb. 13," Frick said.

"We expect to sell a lot of games just before the jackpot drawing." After Feb. 13, numbers will be Court (Continued from Page 1) right to her child, the only mitigating factor being that one of the purchasers is the father," Wilentz wrote. "The surrogacy contract creates, it is based upon, principles that are directly contrary to the objectives of our laws. "It guarantees the separation of a child from its mother; it looks to adoption regardless of suitability; it totally ignores the child; it takes the child from the mother regardless of her wishes and her maternal fitness; and it does all of this, it accomplishes all of its goals, through use of money." The court did not prohibit women from freely becoming surrogates as volunteers, as long as no money is paid directly to the surrogate mother and as long as she is allowed to revoke her decision to surrender the baby. The court said a mother's parental rights can be terminated only if she voluntarily surrenders her child to an approved adoption agency or if she is proved unfit because of abandonment or substantial neglect of the child.

In the reasons it gave for declaring the contract illegal, the court echoed arguments that had been offered by Whitehead-Gould's lawyer, Harold J. Cassidy, in his appeal of Sorkow's ruling. Sorkow had held that the laws on adoption and termination of parental rights were irrelevant to the surrogate contract because they were written before surrogacy became common. At one point, Wednesday's ruling rebuked Sorkow for judging Whitehead-Gould "rather harshly" during the 32-day trial. But the justices found that Sorkow's awarding custody to Stern was valid for the baby's "best interests." "The Sterns promise a secure home, with an understanding relationship that allows nurturing and independent growth to develop together," Wilentz said.

Corrections Because of a Journal error, the political party affiliation of Marilyn Weber, candidate for Saline County register of deeds, was listed incorrectly in Wednesday's edition. Weber is a Republican. Because of a Journal error visitation was incorrectly listed in the Wednesday obituary of Kristy A. Frazer, Wilson, who died Feb. 1 at Tustin, Calif.

There will be no visitation at Stiles-Parsons Funeral Home, Wilson. The body was cremated. remember the call. According to the committee, the meeting was conducted Nov. 21, 1983, the day after the alleged phone call.

It was arranged because Palmer was trying to become eligible for the business agency's minority set-aside program. EDP was admitted to the program nearly a year later and obtained the three-year contract in 1986 to provide food service at Fort Leonard Wood. According to the committee, Lhulier said there was some discussion at the meeting on how EDP could obtain the Fort Leonard Wood contract, which was then held by another Kansas businessman and friend of Palmer's. However, Lhulier told the committee staff that the "only unusual aspect of setting up a meeting was that it was scheduled so quickly, and therefore, there was no opportunity to get background information on EDP or Mister Palmer" from the agency's regional office in Kansas City. The business agency and FBI are investigating the awarding of the contract because of questions of whether EDP was qualified for the job.

Dole first lottery involving non-contiguous states, and officials promise a minimum jackpot of $2 million when the game kicks off with the Feb. 13 drawing held in Des Moines. A joint lottery involving Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont has been operating for two years. In the new game, players in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Rhode Island, Oregon, West Virginia and Washington, D.C., must choose seven numbers from a field of 40, giving them one chance in about 19 million to win. Lotto American officials say the 16.5 million people living in the game's jurisdiction could support far higher jackpots than many states could afford individually.

Officials said the jackpot could climb as high as $25 million. Each play will cost $1, and 45 percent of sales will go into the prize pool. Each state retains the profit for ticket sales in its jurisdiction, officials said. The Associated Press contributed to this story. For your night, 721 W.
