Council also voted down an amendment to increase the city clerk's salary by $500 per year. Council member and former mayor E. Anderson read a statement addressed to Mayor CarlStiUwell: "A study of the budget shows situations arising which reveal definitely that the public works department and the police department are in need of more funds because of the expansion and growth of our city.

We can not be unaware of the fact that law enforcement is becoming more "With the total set out in the budget, considering the same force as now working, a heavy reduction will necessarily be made in material and equipment. On the other hand, it is to be noted that there have been astounding increases in the city manager's budget and the per- n. 1 department's budget since 1965 66... "The assessed valuation seems to be several million dollars underrated so a rather healthy cushion has no doubt been provided for. With other effected economies, the budgets of the police and public works departments could be- increased.

In other words, the taxpayers of our city should then realize ben efits derived directly from these I would move that the 1970-71 budget be amended as follows. That budget and research be reduced to one person at a salary increase of 50 percent over the 1965-66 rate of $11,160. That the personnel departr jnent be studied immediately and the increase shown be justified or reduced in the budget." Councilman David James, mayor protem, told Ariderson if he wanted to divide the amend ment statements into two mo tions, he would second the reduction of staff, but not the re duction of salary. Gus Wickman, third district councilman, said he did not think the amendment would be fair without an analysis of the services rendered by the city manager's three assistants, and Mayor Stillwell said he felt gross injury would be done by "this superficial A voice vote failed on the reduction of staff amendment with all except Anderson and James voting against it. James then 'moved for an Amendment to the budget by increasing the city clerk's salary from $12,500 to $13,00.

James said that would bring the clerk's salary up to the same as that of the municipal court judge, and he believed that "fair and just." The motion failed on a 4-5 voice vote. Those voting in favor of the motion were Councilmen Laure Nance, Anderson, James, and Councilwoman Lu-cile Morris Upton.

An experienced Springfield private detective is betting his badge she isn't. Carol Blades went to the laundromat in Nixa in the middle of the afternoon of Dec. 15. She was coming back home to wake her husband around 5 p.m.. so he could get ready for his job on the third shift at Springday.

There was a nip in the air. The temperature was hovering just below freezing and she pulled the white fur coat she was wearing on tight as she car- ted laundry out to the carj She had put up the young couple's Christmas tree that afternoon, after a bit of shopping in Springfield. There is little doubt she was thinking about a special post-Christmas present she and her husband were expecting the county welfare agency had just cleared them as suitable parents for adoption of a child. jCity Youths Boys State passed unanimously by Council.

George R.

Theresa Smith, 17, died about 9:45 p.m. when the boat in which she was a passenger was struck by another craft on an Osage arm of the lake in Miller County. Troopers said Miss Smith was riding in an 18-foot inboard boat piloted by Michael Louis Mack, 17, also of Sunrise Beach, which was rammed in the side by a 17- foot outboard driven by an off duty highway patrolman, James R.

In Carthage Speech Auditing Waste Cited by Bond CARTH, AGE (Special) -Christopher (Kit) Bond of Mexi co, Republican candidate for state auditor, told the Lincoln Ladies Club Monday night that "proper auditing and accounting procedures would have pre vented the Department of Rev-nue from pouring thousands of dollars of the taxpayers' money down the drain." 'The citizens of this state have just learned that the state paid rent of more than $4000 a month for at least eight months sophisticated computer equipment that it never used." These video-display termin als were never even taken out of their crates. But the taxpayers of Missouri picked up the bill for eight months rental." Bond said the state auditor has the responsibility to see that each agency has sufficient internal control to keep it from pay ing money for equipment that it does not have.

He then has the responsibility to see that these lowed by each agency. 1 "As state auditor," Bond concluded, "I will not only see that each agency follows proper procedures for controlling its inventory and property, but I will direct my auditors to make spot checks to see that the state ac tually has the equipment it is paying for." "The Billic Sol Estes scandal and the American Express salad oil fiasco should have warned everyone that auditors cannot rely on book entries alone without checking to see the property for which we are paying actually exists." Bond, who will oppose state auditor Haskell Holman, is highly enthusiastic about his support in the Seventh and Ninth Congressional Districts and in cen tral Missouri and believes he will pick up many votes in St Louis and Kansas City. Get Look at U.S. Cure All Help the Sycamore Inn yesterday. "I am not so naive as to think that the AFS program can cure all the world's problems, nor do I think AFS students returning to their own countries win overnight renew the status and prestige we have lost in the world's eyes since the end of World War II.

But I do think AFS can play a significant part in doing so," Clinkenbeard said. Tlie young men and women in-volved in the AFS program arc top students and some day will become influential and responsible adults in their countries, he continued. Money spent for the AFS pro- gram $850 for each stu- lent seems to Clinkenbeard a small investment for such a large return. Last year the Springfield chapter raised $4259 S850 for each of the five students, in Springfield high schools. About 32 precent of the budget for the students in the program comes from the parents, but students are chosen first for their merits, not their financial re sources.

In Springfield, many civic clubs, PTA's, women's clubs, church groups and the school system's own "united fund" (not the city United Fund) help supply support. Only about three percent of the total program income is contributed, by the State, Department. Last year, its contribution was about $178,000. Clinkenbeard contrasted the AFS program with some government spending, which seems to have little return "referring to the billions spent by our State Department on foreign aid which I question whether there is any return on at all." Clinkenbeard cited the ex ample of Nelson Rockefeller's fact-finding mission to South America in 1969, when he as met at every corner with violent anti-United States demonstrations. That vear.

Seventies Seen As Greatest Generation Perhaps the seventies will be the greatest generation in the history of the nation or the stepping stone to the greatest era in our history," Dr.

Arthur L. Mallory, president of South west Missouri State College, said in an address prepared for delivery Monday night. The speech marked the opening of a 2-weck conference on current problems facing the United States in the Seventies, havirrg as its theme "A Changing Nation in a Changing World." Mallory's speech, "The College and the Community," took an optimistic look at the future of the nation and its educational system, saying "the quality of our life is the greatest challenge. that faces us in the seventies. This college, and: our educational institutions throughout the land, must play a role in working with the commu nity to meet these challenges." Despite the problems which face the nation and the world today, Mallory indicated confidence they could be solved and an era ot great promise was dawning.

"History tells us that times of tension and trouble gave birth to some of. the greatest periods known to" mankind, and that the people of the day were convinced it was the end, not a successful new era that was beginning," Mallory said. "As we take a long look at the seventies, I think, we wU all agree that our beleaguered 'nation is really not so beleaguered at all." he said. "If the will of the majority of the people who wish for peace and under standing can stutvivc the tests of the present, we shall indeed have a bright future. Wc are a free people and we shall remain free."

He had noticed the laundry baskets were missing from the couch. The cousin called back to sav Carol wasn't at the laundry, but the car was on the side of the road, about 2 blocks from it.

Larry called the sheriff. Christian County Sheriff L. E. (Buff) Lamb showed up about an hour later. He authorized a wrecker from Ozark to come tow the car off the roadside.

He did not issue a missing persons bulletin. That was Monday. if Wednesday, Blades called Jim Winfrey, a private detective in Springfield, and a friend of the family. Winfrey came down and drove around in the vicinity of the laundry. He noticed some skid marks in the gravel where the car had been located.

He stuck his finger into some black pud dles marking the exact location of the auto. Oil. Thursday, Winfrey and Blades went to the garage where the car had been towed. There was oil all over the firewall. There was mud on the windshield and fresh scratches on the both sides of the car.

The antenna on the back of the car was bent and torn from the car body. Blades told Winfrey he had the car filled with gas and the windshield washed the morning of the 15th. There were 8' gallons of gasoline missing from the tank; more than a woman would use on a shopping trip to Springfield. Tracing Carol Blades' route on the shopping trip to home and to the laundry in the car, Winfrey concluded the car had traveled about 65 miles more than necessary for the trip. Buff Lamb and his deputies had looked over an area within five miles of the laundry and aa given up.
