A power blackout left hundreds of Bettendorf residents without heat or electricity for at least an hour today in subzero temperatures, expected to dip to 15 below tonight. A spokesman for Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Co. said this afternoon cold weather caused an insulator to snap and bring down a line in the 2300 block of Southview Drive, Bettendorf. This triggered a substation program at Tanglefoot Lane, the spokesman said. He said the area affected included Tanglefoot Lane south to Middle Road and Cumberland Square to Devil's Glen Road.

THE BETTENDORF police department reported receiving about 15 calls from residents affected by the outage. Emergency facilities were not affected by the outage, police said. Power was returned to a portion of the blackout area about noon but it had not been restored to all homes before early afternoon. THE BLACKOUT came at a bad time for residents as the mercury stayed below the zero mark after hitting 6 degrees below this morning. Mrs.

William Oliver, 3027 Windsor Bettendorf, said she and the several preschool schildren at home with her had been wearing jackets inside the house. Mrs. Roy Leonards, 2920 Cambridge said her home was "just beginning to get cold" when the outage ended. She added she had been using her gas range for heat while the power had been off.

Subsequently, all will be elected for four-year terms on a staggered basis. To determine which 25 will draw short terms this year, the chief justice By John McCormick DES MOINES The Iowa Supreme Court dropped a bombshell on the legislature today when it declared the reapportionment plan unconstitutional and directed that all 50 Senators would have to Stand for election this year. In a unanimous decision announced just three days after hearing oral arguments, the high court knocked down the remapping plan as unconstitutional because it does not conform to the one man one vote principle of equal representation. A SECOND jolt to the legislature was contained in the decision that the realignment of House and Senate districts would not be returned to the legislature for redrafting. Instead, the Supreme Court will itself state also must await the court plan before they can proceed with redrawing their ward and precinct boundaries.

She teas ready to go from the start. she gig- "I wasn't worried about gled, "but my mom was." kikf' Tit J0 By Millicent Faunlleroy The first thing anyone notices about Regina Ann Posey is that big, wide grin that spreads across her face as though it might never end. The smile is her trademark. Friends, relatives and teachers thought it might fade away last summer when the 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

John Posey, 825 Brown Davenport, was forced to undergo open heart surgery at University Hospitals, Iowa City. BUT IT HASNT. In fact the bouncy seventh grader today seems happier than ever. And the smile is still there, fading gradually into dimples that light up her face. A visit to J.

B. Young Junior High School to check on Regina's condition found both heart and smile doing fine. The young former heart patient smiled that wide grin and let go the secret giggle that only seventh graders share, when asked if she had been frightened by the ordeal of surgery. REGINA returned to school for her first year of junior high on Sept. 7 only a week after her classmates started the fall term.

She apparently had no trouble catching up or keeping up with the others. Both Don Fisher and Richard Price, principal and assistant principal at the school, agreed: "We couldn't keep her down. She was ready to go from the start." The only restriction placed on the smiling youngster is a prohibition against taking part in gym classes. Her mother said the restriction is one the school, and not the girl's physician, has imposed. Regina underwent surgery to correct a leaking heart valve last July 30.

Two weeks later she was released to go home in time to celebrate her 12th birthday on Aug. 14 with a brother John, 11; two sisters, Debbie, 15, and Inetta, 11 and her parents. Her classmates say they know she is "okay" because she has never once stopped smiling. One might even say this 7th grader has "a song in her heart" she is back in school now following open heart surgery which patched a leaking heart valve the youngster had been plagued with since birth. The bespectacled songster is Regina Ann Posey, 12.

In entering the plea, Mrs. Moon admitted converting $2,248.69 in state assistance funds to her own use. Mrs. Moon was accused of taking money received from state welfare recipients as overpayments on their grants. Havcrcarnp, denying the plea for probation, noted that while Mrs.

Moon voluntarily pleaded guilty to embezzlement that she refused to admit to an investigator making a pre-sentence investigation "that she ever look any money that did not belong to her." "This indicates to the court that Mrs. Moon is still somewhat reluctant to admit any wrongdoing and that she would not be able to rehabilitate herself to the normal ways of society on her own," Havcrcarnp said. Thomas M. Kelly Davenport lawyer, requested probation for Mrs. Moon, saying he believes facts in the case point to a certain amount of carelessness in the welfare department in the handling of money "which makes it easy for money to disappear."
