62, of Muscotah, was killed and five other persons hurt in a two-car collision yesterday in St. Joseph, police said. His wish for death is granted SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Gary Mark Gilmore, a convicted murderer who asked the Utah Supreme Court to let him "die like a man," will face a firing squad Monday barring appeals for a second stay of execution. The execution, scheduled for 8 a.m. on the Utah State Prison grounds 20 miles south of here, would be the first in the United States since Luis Jose Monge died in a Colorado gas chamber on June 2, 1967.

There are more than 400 men and women awaiting possible execution on Death Rows across the nation. Retiring Gov. Calvin L. Rampton, a supporter of capital punishment, said he would study Gilmore's case and issue statement today. The governor can stay an execution until the next meeting of the State Board of Pardons.

That would not be until two days after Gilmore is scheduled to die. Gilmore, wearing handcuffs, white prison garb and red white-and-blue tennis shoes, told the five Supreme Court justices Wednesday: "I believe I was given a fair trial, and I think the sentence was proper, and I'm willing to accept it like a man and wish it to be carried out without delay."

When they arrived in Springfield the man pulled a .45 caliber pistol and robbed him of $28 and his bus ticket, according to the victim.

Flu vaccine given to 50-60 per cent JEFFERSON CITY (AP) Missouri Health Director Dr. Herbert Domke says public participation in the state's swine flu program is running between 50 and 60 per cent. Reports from throughout the state indicated that between 500.000 and 700.000 Missourians already have been immunized since the program started Oct.

1, he said. Directors are predicting that the long-range impact of the program in Missouri will involve about 75 per cent of the state's eligible population, or about 2.5 million people. Increased vaccine shipments in recent days have made it possible to hold public clinics this weekend in St. Louis, Kansas City and Columbia. Clinics are also set in Springfield and other outstate cities later in November.

As of Nov. 5, Missouri had received 1,605,000 doses of the flu vaccine. Out of that total, 644,000 doses were by bivala- Weekend events offer music, sales television station KOZK.

11, 1976 23 then vacated a stay they had granted Monday by a 3-2 vote and agreed to let Gilmore be shot on schedule. stay of execution heretofore granted is withdrawn and vacated and any appeal filed on behalf of Gary Gilmore is dismissed forthwith," the court said. Gilmore's role in 1 the case left groups opposed to capital punishment in an awkward position. But Shirley Pedler, director of the Utah chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, said her group was considering at least two possible lines of last-minute appeal. She said one was to appeal the constitutionality of the Utah law to the U.S.

Supreme Court, which ruled earlier this year that capital punishment was not inherently unconstitutional. The other possibility, she said, was to ask the courts to forbid use of tax money to pay for an unconstitutional execution. Each of five volunteer members of the firing squad would earn $175. Michael Esplin, a court-appointed lawyer who filed an earlier appeal with the Supreme Court and was fired by Gilmore, warned that the justices may not accept a new appeal against Gilmore's wishes. But he said that lawyers for other Death Row inmates might still seek a stay in federal courts if the justices decline to accept the Gilmore UPI Telephete Convicted murderer Gary Gilmere, 35, sits in a state prisen car after pleading with the Utah Supreme Court to take his life, and the justices granted his wish for death en Nev.

The possibility of still other litigation leading to a stay was raised by David Kendall, an expert on capital punishment for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Kendall said there were reports that Denis Boaz, Gilmore's new California lawyer, was a writer as well as a lawyer and might, have a contract to write about the case. This, he said, might represent a conflict of interest.

If the courts refuse to reconsider the case, a stay would then be up to the Board of Pardons. Wednesday's hearing was on a motion by Deputy Atty. Gen. Robert B. Hansen, who had asked for a reversal of the stay of execution order.

LAWSON FBI now and sorting through files on other communities that might have had this type of burglary. This was not your run-of-the-mill type of burglary. I have not had an identical type of burglary in the time I've been here in Joplin," said Kakuske. Authorities are still pondering how the burglars entered the mall I which is locked during the night. There were no signs of forced entry to the mall.

Lt. Tennis theorized the burglars might have hidden inside the mall at closing time or used some other method to enter the complex. No security personnel were on duty at the mall but janitors were working in the building during the night. Left behind in the jewelry store were tools used in the burglary. An acetylene torch was used to cut the locking mechanism on a large walk-in safe at the store.

Tennis said the burglars were professional, and only took the "cream of the crop," leaving behind an estimated $100,000 in other jewelry and merchandise. BOLIVAR Services for Mrs. Bertha A. Lawson, 80. Bolivar, a longtime resident of Polk County, will be at 11 a.m.
