Clark. rThe Star's Topeka drrrfspondent) Topeka, April bill setting up legal procedure for the first step in creating the metropolitan development district and the development agency was passed tonight by the Kansas House of Representatives and sent to Gov.

George Docking. The vote was 92 to 0. A companion bill creating a permanent commission to follow through on terms of the compact, should it be entered into by both Kansas and Missouri, also is up for final passage. Studies Both Bills. Governor Docking said he had studied both bills and that he intends to sign them so far as the Kansas part is concerned.

Similar legislation is in the Missouri Legis lature in the proposal for mu tual development of the Greater Kansas City area. The compact bill would require the governor of Kansas (and also Missouri if it passes in that Legislature) to name within 60 days three members to represent Kansas on the compact committee. Their duty would be to enter into basic terms of the joint co-operation compact for long range improvements, such as expressways, water, sewage, health, recreational educational facilities and to decide on the responsibilities of each state in the projects. The compact would have to be approved by the attorney general of each state and the two governors. A Commission of 10.

The second bill would establish the permanent supervisory commission of 10 from each 1o carry through terms of the compact. The commission would have wide planning powers, but no pubJic tax money or appropriations could in the projects, which sponsors said would be financed and retired by revenue bonds. The commission could ask advice from civic groups, busi ness and other sources having information in furthering its work under terms of the bill. The House also voted 69 to 18 for the bill for the state to accept the suburban estate of the late FranK Mac Lcnnan, former publisher of the Topeka State Journal, as a future residence for Kansas governors and sent it to the governor. Docking's Viewpoint.

Governor Docking, however, has stated he does not believe the state should ac cept the residence and that the property could better be sold and proceeds divided between the Stormont-Vail hospital and school of nursing and Washburn university. Also receiving final passage was a $10,000 appropriation as a starter on educational television at the state schools with the m.oney earmarked for the board of regents to conduct preliminary work. It was explained that the fund would assure Kansas of being assigned some of the remaining channels in that field until final plans can be by the schools. IN a ies Abilene C. of C.
