John David Smith, of 3407 Serena Street, Sarasota, has been charged with murder, but according to Sheriff Lt. Robert Coller, it has not been firmly determined whether it will be first or second degre murder.

Smith, who has been living in Sarasota since his separation from his wife, Mrs. Sara Jo Smith, allegedly went to his wife's home at 5805 14th Street, Bradenton, late Tuesday night in an attempt to persuade her to return to him. Sheriffs reports say an argument developed, leading to the fatal shooting of Mrs. Smith with a 22 caliber pistol. The 29-year-old woman was pronounced dead on arrival at the Manatee Memorial Hospital at 11:05 p.m.

Coller said Smith took his wife to the hospital and was later arrested there. i 1 v' Det. Charles McKay, Lt. Mike Prieto, Sgt, Ed Hoss, Deputy Oscar Peres and Deputy Merle Dotson are investigating the incident. According to officers, Mrs.

Smith had an unidentified man visiting her home when her estranged husband arrived. The man, officers said, apparently tried to frighten Smith away and fired two shots into the wall of the house. IDS Radio Station To Link With Urban Study Organization Given Name WINTER HAVEN 'By Staff Writer) The group of in-terested businessmen studying ways to revitalize the downtown area were officially named yesterday. Henceforth the "Urban Re-development Committee' will be responsible for finding ways to shake up the downtown. The first area the group will be concerned with will be between First and Sixth Streets, with Avenue on the south and Avenue on the north.

City Commissioner Glenn Woten, chairman of the recently appointed committee, told the commission of the first two meetings of the committee. He said after the first of the year Tax Assessor James Roden had agreed to come to the city and reassess downtown property. The chairman called a meeting of the committee yesterday where he heard reports from Jack Pines and Carlton Dorr who consulted with Woten on the revaluation matter, Woten said by the next meeting a "definite plan will be announced" for the city to follow toward redeveloping the downtown area. He also reported that Howard Sands, another member of the committee, was acquiring information on a tax district if the city elects to follow that route toward financing, and heard another report from Larry Rollins on what other cities have done to revamp their downtown areas. After Woten made his report on that committee, he noted that the airport committee had met and named Fred Lenfeasty chairman, and the city's application for federal assistance to improve the lights and runways at Gilbert Field had been forwarded to proper authorities.

He also noted that steps had been taken to curb indiscriminate auto traffic on runways and htat Brown Aviation had moved to a new office. Woten said steps were being taken to perhaps relocate portions of the Winter Haven Skeet Club from such a close proximity to the air strip for safety purposes. He said the committee would work with the Skeet Club in solving this problem. During his reports to the commission, he commented on the need for a beautification committee. He called attention to large oak trees removed from Seventh Street this week and the number of complaints he has received.

City Manager Clctus Allen said he wasn't out to destroy trees, but after consulting with the engineers it was decided the two large trees would have to be removed to make way for a 48-inch storm drainage line. New oak trees will be planted behind the sidewalks, Allen said. He told the commission when First Street is four-laned at least 500 large trees will have to be removed. He also called attention to other areas, such as South Lake Howard Drive and East Lake Elbert where trees will have to come down when the streets are improved, since the city doesn't have sufficient right-of-way. Mayor Bruce Farkcr said after the first of the year a committee to guide the city on a beautification program will be named.

Parker also asked that all copies of ordinance be made available for commission study prior to the meetings. 'Last night, the commission was given a seven-page ordinance for passage. Parker noted this wasn't always the case, however. "The ordinance pertained to planned unit development, and Commissioner Hughes Steele asked that it be deferred until the January meeting. In other matters, the commission approved the rezoning of a section of Havendale Boulevard to allow an auto agency in an area formerly zoned residential.
