J. J. Jackson Construction Company of Marshfield has been awarded a contract for the work which includes remodeling the elementary and junior high schools.

The Marshfield School Board last week gave the contract to Morelock Construction Company of Springfield, but the firm withdrew its bid because of an error in tabulation, according to a spokesman for Joe Amspacher of Springfield, architect for the project. The Jackson firm had the apparent next lowest bid (with alternates) of $941,827. Voters in the school district approved a II, 055, 000 bond issue in March for the project.

The summer Cent theater at Southwest Missouri Stat University opens its new season Friday night, and will present in repertory "George "Summer and Smoke," and "The Fantasticks" through Aug. J. Appropriately, the season opens with the story of the giant of American musical theater, George M. Cohan, America's birthday boy, born on the Fourth of July, "the original Yankee Doodle Dandy." "George will be presented under the green and tangerine striped "big top" Friday and Saturday nights, and on July 11, 17, 20, 23, 2, 30, and Aug. 3.

The musical features music and lyrics by George M. Cohan, book by Michael Stewart and John and Fran Pascal, and lyrics and musical revisions by Mary Cohan. It is typical of Cohan: it combines speed, lights and music, and will feature the acting talents of 37 members of the SMS tent theater troupe: The lead roles of the four Cohans, who leted some parts of the Supreme Court's rules, amended others, and retained still others intact. Some jurists appearing before the subcommittee argued there was no need for rules at all, but the preponderance of testimony supported uniform rules of evidence, Hungate said. In testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee during June, Hungate urged action "so that we may avoid another lap in the legislative tortoise race.

The time should be ripe to enact this product of 13 years of earnest, scholarly endeavor by judges, lawyers, legislators and public minded groups." Hungate said he hopes the bill reaches the Senate floor before impeachment, if impeachment is voted in the House. "After that, nothing would be certain," Hungate said. "This bill is as free from partisanship as possible, but if impeachment breaks out, I look for an increase in partisanship on just about century, will be played by Craig Handel, Bill Christen-ten.

By STEVE WEINBERG Leader aitf Press Wasalagtai Carrespaadeit WASHINGTON Fairer criminal trials and fewer appeals are expected to result from standardized rules of evidence being guided through Congress by a Missouri lawmaker. Rep. William Hungate, heads a House Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice that drafted a bill codifying often contradictory rules of evidence now used in federal courts. The bill is pending in the Senate Judiciary Committee after passing the House in February. Legal experts have testified that rules of evidence would speed up trials, reduce the number of erroneous rulings by judges and thus reduce the number of appeals.

The experts said in testimony before Hungate's subcommittee that such a set of rules would put younger, less experienced lawyers more on a par with older, more experienced adversaries in court. Springfield gained 378 new residents during June, for half year total of I7M, which is 88 more than arrived during the same period last year, according to the monthly new customers report of City Utilities. Of this year's newcomers, 161 are from elsewhere in Missouri, 81 are from Kansas, 18 from California, S3 from Arkansas and the same number from Illinois, 13 from Oklahoma, and II from Texas. Smaller numbers came from 38 other states and 12 foreign countries Germany. Africa, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, the Philippine Islands.

Scotland. Switzerland and Taiwan. CAI HITS POLE Elvin Fred Abney, 52. of 2558 North Jefferson, was cited on a complaint of driving while intoxicated after his car struck a utility pole Wednesday afternoon in the 1100 block East Turner, police said. Judges assigned to bear cases outside their own districts also would benefit, legal experts testified, because at present different rules of evidence apply in different districts.

"Right now, making evidence law by decision is an accidental and fragmentary process," Hungate said. "A decision reached in 1880 may not comport with present thinking, but an individual attorney has no incentive to be innovative. His client, hired him to win a case, not to write new law or reform society." Hungate said the "accidental process" can lead to unwise legal precedents about what relevant evidence is. "The rules of evidence grow like an inverted pyramid," he said. "Sometimes a case is decided hurriedly and through the years further decisions are predicated upon that earlier one, until the decision which was hurriedly arrived at, and may well be improvident, is bearing much greater weight than it warrants.

A uniform code of evidence should reduce the incidence of this." The codification would give a judge a ready reference to use during court proceedings. "At present evidence questions frequently call for a decision on the run by a judge in the midst of trial and without guidance such as he would have if a code of evidence were available at the Hungate said. "At present lawyers must also react with seat of the pants judgment." The bill passed the House 377-13, but it took more than 13 years to reach that consensus from the time the nation's judges began discussions to the time the Supreme Court submitted its version of the rules to Congress in early 1973. Hungate's subcommittee de-City Man Bound Over In Bolivar BOLIVAR A Springfield man, Gary Dean Swearingen, has been bound over to the Polk County Circuit Court for arraignment on charges of receiving stolen property, Magistrate Judge Willard B. Leavitt said Wednesday.

During preliminary hearing Wednesday, Leavitt said the court determined there was insufficient evidence to prosecute another Springfieldian charged in connection with the same Incident. Sgt. Terry A. Looney, an Army recruiter in Bolivar, was not bound over for trial. The men were charged in connection with theft of a color tv set from the home of Peggy Hunginton at Wheatland May 4.

The burglarized home was set on fire, authorities said. Swearingen will appear in circuit court July 16.

Ozark Fettital See Crowd SEO ALIA Several change have been made in the lineup, but promoters of the Ozark Music Festival are still expecting more than 50.800 fans to descend on the Missouri State Fairgrounds here July 1-M. Springfield's Ozark Mountain Daredevils are among the groups which have cancelled the festival after deciding to devote the time to a recording session. The Daredevils are cutting their second album this summer. The Jefferson Starship, which recently broke up, is another of the casualties, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra has cancelled its entire tour. "They said they were going to England to lay in the sun," explained festival promoter Leigh Kimball.

Boz Scaggs is out because of "exhaustion," Kimball said, and Bruce Springsteen also has cancelled the engagement. Groups added to the lineup include Joe Walsh, Locomotive GT and Babe Ruth. Folksinger Bill Quateman has been added, as well as Elvin Bishop. Top billing for the event is going to Bachman Turner Overdrive, the Eagles, America, Marshall Tucker Band, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the Earl Scruggs Revue, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Electric Flag, David Bromberg, Bob Seger, Leo Kottke and Cactus. The groups will have the "largest outdoor stage in the world" to work on, according to Kimball.

Placed at the end of a race track infield, it will be 175 feet long and weigh in the neighborhood of 177,000 pounds. Other features of the festival will be a midway with 30 rides and a Pioneer Electronics exhibit employing 35 persons and showing every component sold by the electronic sound firm. Kimball said hand made jewelry worth at least $100,000 will be shown in booths at the festival, and various other crafts will be exhibited. There will be 120 acres of camping space available for festival goers. Wells Fargo will provide 375 agents inside and outside the festival grounds, Kimball said, and they will be identified as security personnel by their shirts and will carry no guns or badges.

Kimball said narcotics laws will be enforced.
