Charles County. The bill creating Ihe MIs I Louis I (i 111 a Airport Authority, forbids the city of St. Louts to turn over Lambert's operation lo the Illinois authority thai Is seeking final approval of the Waterloo site from (ho KAA now. Opponents of the Illinois jclporl, Including llcnrncs, St. Louis County Supervisor Lawrence K.

linns and other Missouri officials, declared that the Missouri bill blocks participation by the city of St. Louis in the plan worked out between St. Louis Mayor Cervantes and Illinois Oov. Ulchnrcl Ogllvle. That plan provides that Ihe Illinois created authority would Jolnlly run both the new Waterloo facility and with membership hulf-a-ppolntetl by the Illinois governor and half by the St.

Louis mayor. Cervantes attacked the Missouri legislation as "obstructionist," and after In- slrucling Ihe city legal department lo began work on a possible court suit challenging the con- slllutionallty of the law, he said Ihe city would continue to back the Illinois Jotport plans. The new Missouri authority will have 13-mombors. Four will he appointed by the governor, three each by the mayor of St. Louis and the St.

Louis County supervisor, and one member each by the county courts of Jefferson, Franklin and St. Charles. The authority Is given zoning powers extending seven miles from the end of each runway and 2 miles on each side of the runways. Unlike the Illinois authority, the Missouri one would be required lo repay to the state any financing advanced. While blocking the city of St.

Louis from turning over Lambert to the Illinois authority, the Missouri legislation allows the Missouri authority to assume control of Lambert through the city's consent Cervantes has already stated that while he is mayor, the city will have no part of that plan.

Relative humidity plunges to 10 per cent or less and warm dry interior air draws moisture from everything it touches including people Many people feel this drying effect in the nose, joints loosen, walls crack, wood flooring shrinks and rug brittle and wear out faster. More house dust and lint floats in the air. Static electricity sparks jump from hands reaching for a light switch or metal doorknob. An air conditioning specialist, Tom Sherwood, president of ACCO, says tho explanation of extreme indoor dryness in winter lies in the curious ability of air lo hold more moisture when it's warm than when it's cool.

If damp outside air at a freezing 32 degrees is heated to a normal 72 degrees, It will become relatively drier because at the higher temperature it can hold more than four times as much moisture, Sherwood points out. financing DALLAS, TEX.

Even at church, Mrs. Sparlln formed the practice of walling until most parishioners had left so that she wouldn't embarrass anyone.

"I'm ashamed of the feelings I had when I was young, reared as I was In an all-white, pat little world.

I'm glad my children will never have those feelings." Her sqn, the East Junior High School student, also adopted, already displays this ability to look at things differently. (Jailing for John at school one day, the family brought Denise along. John felt called upon to "haul off and sock" a fellow- student who "Well, I see you've got a nigger for a John's only comment: "Nobody's going to call my sister a nigger!" Mrs. Sparlin was asked what the feeling about the word "nigger" Is, and what it would eventually become; what they would tell Denise as she matured. "We'll tell her that if anyone calls her a she should say, 'No, I'm an Afro-American.

The barbs that have been thrust Into the Sparlln family may have conditioned Ihcm to sec coldness where It was not Intended. But there Is enough of the real thing lo make the misinterpreted "slights" excusable.

Although there are nol many friends to talk to In their own day to living, Mr. and Mrs. Sparlln find comfort, guidance and fun In groups now being formed by and for families of mixed races. Al a recent oulstaU; meeting arranged by the Lutheran Family and Children's Service, where some 25 couples had been expected, some l'25 white parents of adopted black children received advice and asked questions of Iwo black professors from Southern Illinois University, and a black social worker. Al such as Ihis, much is taught; much is learned.

Literature is available to the parents; all forms, including greal sheafs of lists containing books on everything from statistics lo poetry which will enlighten the parent. "Some of It Is so poteiil you may have to hide in your bathroom to read il," a laughing spokesman joked. The comic as well as the serious lone comes out in conversations among the mixed families. The Sparlins can exchange such little examples as the incident when Denise was particularly unruly and brother John said, "I think we've got a black militant in our family." Mrs. Sparlin often says of Bi-State (Continued from Page t) Bi-Statc's annual reports show that it routinely has blamed poor economic conditions for the decline in passenger revenues.

At the same time it noted that more people were buying and using cars. Nowhere in the annual reports is the manner in which the system was managed ever questioned or improvements suggested. Bi-State has consistently overestimated both expected revenues and also in recent years, it anticipates larger operating costs than occur. When revenues have failed to meet budget projections, the Bi-Stale board, at meetings that are often carefully staged press conferences, made new pleas for Missouri and Illinois subsidies. When operating costs are less than the budget projected, Smyser and the Bi- State Commissioners have regularly cited this as evidence of how well managed the system has been.

A professor of government at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, whose book Compacts" published last year which includes a lengthy analysis of Bi-State, told the Telegraph Ihat her impression was that Bi-Slatc used its budget e.c i for public- relations purposes. Specifically, -'there is considerable indication that Bi-State in its political activities of the past three years has an axe to grind, which can be most effectively honed by regular revelations of distress," states Marian E. i a in her book published by Southern Illinois University Press. In a telephone conversation with the Telegraph this week, professor Ridgcway said that while gathering material on Bi-State, she asked Smyser various questions and was told "It's all In the minutes." However, when she examined the Bl-State board minutes he referred to she could not find the information. Smyser, when asked for Information by the Telegraph about Ihe Bi-State 'transactions over Iho Cnsi'yville properly, went lo his "personal files" for information.

At the same Interview, (hough, he slated the transactions had been entirely "in tho open" and a mailer of public record and "we. have niilhing to hide."

Mrs. Diane M. Frischman of Tarpon springs, died at 5 a.m.

Thursday at St. Anthony's Hospital where she had been a patient since Monday. She had come to Alton on Jan. 25 for the wedding of her great-niece, Peggy Sue Parker, and William Brooks, who were married Friday evening. She was born in Chillicothe, Ohio on Sept.

Especially the hnrd-to-place children. The perfect, and cute, cuddly are always the first chosen. The outlook for the leftovers Is doubtful." The Sparlins, with that attitude, may well be the perfect couple to adopt children. And that is probably why Ihey filled into It so genlly, so naturally. They brought John, inlo their homo when their natural son, Hrenl, had been an only child for 10 years.

From the onset, John and Brent have enjoyed the usual day-to-day games, picnics, rivalries, homework miseries, quarrels, and companionship that natural brothers feel. "Sure, they fight, says their mother. "Rut no more than other brothers would. Our own son was never jealous. Having a younger brother made him feel more secure." The security bonds of the children were further strengthened with the adoption of Julie, who gave John someone to identify with.

Then came Denise. and the group became a well-knit family, loyal to each other, each child with a deep feeling of belonging in a special way to the other. Watching the two adopted sisters in their home is a case study on the foolishness of race prejudice. The diminutive four-year-old Julie, dwarfed by her black sister, who will be two Monday, have something valuable to teach everybody. "Denise is not hyper-active; she does sit and play sometimes," says her mother as she jumps to avoid a crash or spill In the wake of Ihe lack child's sudden movement, "but she keeps Ihe family busy.

"There's nothing shy or backward about her, either. Denise likes to be on Ihe go constantly, wants to cat all the lime. She crawled at five months, and at nine months she look off walking. "She's made her own friends Her personality Is such that she makes people like her." In contrast, the small while Julie spent more of her time during the Telegraph interview snuggling in the arm chair with the reporter, curious as lo what her sister would do next. Then, by no means a listless child, she would be off, removing her shoes and romping into the next room with Denise.

The Sparlins, somewhat lonely, are not letting their position In I he fronl bat- tlellnes against prejudice embitter them. They feel they will for much longer, be the object of the pointed finger. When Ihey adopted Julie, it was 10(17. This is 1972, today, and things arc in change Strict rules for adoption, which prior to 1007, not only discouraged but prohibited the adoption of black children by white families, have now been rewritten. Yesterday's black children, unwanted and formerly merely absorbed into already over-populated black families, are now supplanted by black children no longer considered "leftovers," and offered for adoption by white couples.

The Sparlins find camaraderie and assistance at meetings of the Missouri Open Door Society. This Is a voluntary, Don- profit organization whose members are concerned about nil children who need adoptive parents. The society ts not an adoption agency. It docs cooperate with such agencies to publicize the need of tho walling children, and otherwise works for changes which can help bring together adults who want lo be parents and children who need them.

"Hie desertion by their families, friends and relatives has left a vacuum in the Sparlins' lives that by now has all but been erased. Their children aud such organizations as the Missouri Open Door Society and the changing oullook of public and private adoption agencies are proving to the Upper Alton couple that "Someday's child" is already here.
