The calling of the grand jury was sparked by a disclosure in April that Dave Erickson, Garret son, then a county commissioner, was conducting a private and disguised business with the county.

Erickson later resigned. The grand jury has broad pow-l ers and duties as enumerated by Circuit Judge Francis Dunn who instructed the panel. Twelve persons were summoned for jury duty. Judge Dunn selected the first seven whose names were called by Clerk of Courts M. J.

(Matt) Schneider. No member of the pane was challenged. John M. Theodosen announced in open court that he and Claude Hamilton are representing Erickson. He submitted a written request to the jury that Erickson be allowed to testify and that counsel be permitted to accompany him.

The specific request was: "That David Erickson be al lowed to give testimony before the grand jury and to answer questions proposed to him by the grand jury, and "That the counsel for David Erickson be allowed to accompany him before the grand jury. That said counsel have conducted partial investigation of certain matters that will be investigated by the grand jury and said coun sel by virtue of said investigation on their part are more ably equipped to submit certain infor mation and to advise the petitioner." In his instructions, Dunn said that an accused person does not have the right to- appear before the jury but that privilege me.y be extended if the panel so desires. State's Attorney William Clay ton, Deputy State's Attorney Roger Sehiager and Assistant Attorney General Walter Andre entered the closed jury room with the panel about 20 minutes after the jury was sworn in. They are allowed to present findings and ex amine witnesses. Dunn pointed out that no one, other than a juror, can be present when the grand jury is deliberat-l ing or voting.

County Auditor J. L. (Les) Smalley was the first witness called. Other witnesses called Monday included County Treasurer De-I Loris Erickson, who is not related to former Commissioner Erick son, and Allan Drange, a Sioux Falls police detective. At least six of the seven jurors must be present in order for the panel to function officially.

Five persons must concur before an in dictment is returned. The original order (or the drawing of a grand jury specified the purpose as "for the of public offenses an alleged misconduct In office on the part of the members of the Board of County Commissioners of Minnehaha County." Slate examiner Harley Flcm- mer, Sioux Falls, uncovered 15 checks totaling $5,913.50 where payment eventually reached Erickson for furniture provided to the county. Erickson did not deny that he signed his name and other persons' names to checks in in dorsements after the disguised claims had been approved.

Zoo Attendance Passes 130,000 Officials at the Great Plains Zoo are still waiting for the person to pass through the toll gates. A total of 5,124 paid admissions were counted Saturday and Sunday, including 4,380 adults and 744 in the 12-16 age bracket. This brings the grand total of paid admissions to 65,002. Reasoning that at least one child accompanies each paid admission, zoo officials estimate that over 130,000 of the 150,000 have passed through the turnstiles. The individual who hits the lucky number will be treated to "50 Fabulous Hours" by the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce and cooperating firms.

A 'V I mil said the Communist patrol leader apprently directed his sol diers with whistles sounding like pheasant calls. This correspondent was in a battle position on a nearby hill when Scott's outpost was attacked. "Pheasants" whistled throughout the area but Scott and his men were the only ones hit during the night. REDS SIGHTED Scott had stationed his men in hillside trenches behind barbed wire when Pvt. James Hamby, 19, of Puxico, spotted the North Koreans attempting to climb the hill.

"I said, 'Well damn it, throw a grenade Scott said. Ham- by did, touching off the fight. American commanders radioed Scott asking if he needed hefp, but the 27-year-old captain said later his men could have held off an attacking force three or four times the size of the Communist unit. Scott said the Communists circled the finger of land to attack from the rear but were met by rear guard riflemen assembled by Warrant Officer Kenneth Grambi aler, 27, of Alexandria, S.D., be hind a double strand of barbed wire. YANKS OPEN FIRE When the charging Reds piled into the barbed wire, Grambialer and his men opened fire.

Listening from our nearby hill we heard the "wham, wham" of the Communist grenades, followed by a storm of rifle lire. Grambialer had no time to place his hastily assembled rear guard in foxholes and they fought lying on the ground. Because of this, Scott said, the Americans did not dare fire illumination flares. The flares would have revealed the rear guard positions. Damage Vast, 2 Killed in Pa.
