Enrollments are now being received at CRITICIZES CITY AGENCY He Says He Cannot Understand Why Situation Exists As thousands of sightseers converged yesterday on broken houses and deep cracks where the earth has caved-In in 'Kansas City, Kansas, city officials decided not to inspect the old quarry under the area. Large sections near Thirty-seventh street and Steele road trembled and sank into the old quarry recently. Two homes were destroyed Thursday, several others have been damaged and large sections of roadway have been ripped apart. Hope for Prediction City officials had hoped the inspection would give a clue to the likelihood of further cave-ins, But Howard Antrim, city engineer, said lengthy consultation with the state geologist in Topeka convinced him of the futility of inspection. These cant be forecast, Antrim quoted the state official as saying, regardless of the amount of inspection.

Antrim added that more cave-ins are likely to occur. Antrim said state officials made these recommendations: Get a law passed that underground quarries should be thoroughly mapped to provide advanced protection. Restrict construction in the area, or Stop issuing building permits there. He said state officials told him the city, as they saw it, had but one duty: to warn residents of the danger something nature already has done. Lawns, Flowers Suffer The apprehensions of at least some of those residents were further raised by the thousands of persons who drove or tramped through the area yesterday often by way of the residents lawns and flower beds.

One woman, who apparently lives in the area but who declined to identify herself, was overheard saying: Good Lord, if all these people keep tramping around oat here, theyre liable to jar something and cause a lot more to cave in. Sheriffs patrolmen and police estimated the crowds yesterday at up to .25,000 persons before the onslaught finally subsided with darkness. Police Clear Crowds Police used loudspeakers to order crowds away: If you people dont live in the neighborhood or if you arent visiting relatives here, get out of the area. Youre trespassing on private property. Were going to start towing cars and issuing tickets.

One. sheriffs patrolman, parked at a barracade and directing traffic at Thirty-fourth street and Steele road, said ears were parked as far as a person could see along Steele and Thirty-fourth.

Few persons old enough to have followed the war cannot remember Sir Winston Churchills voice, beamed to country by the BBC, as he urged common resistance to the Nazi horde, instilled confidence in victory and growled invective at the enemy. John M. Hill, a manufacturers representative who lives at 8212 Roe boulevard, listened to the Churchill broadcasts religiously. Joined Royal Air Force At that time, early 1940, Hill was officer pilot John M. Hill, 22, one of the original 17 mem bers of die first Eagle Squadron American.

volunteers who joined the Royal Air Force in the Battle of Britain. We heard every one of Churchills speeches, Hill said yesterday. When he spoke it was like word coming from on high. Those were very bad, bad times. There were only 200 Spitfires in the whole of England and perhaps only a few more pilots against all of the enemy, Hill recalled.

All we did was fly, we didnt have time for anything else. It was Churchills moving words and aggressive spirit that kept that small band of overworked and outgunned pilots going. Hill said. It was to them that Churchill paid his now famous tribute, Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few. Missed Seeing Churchill Hill never did actually- see Churchill.

-The Eagle Squadron went to tea with him, he said, but I was smashed up in the hospital. Hills Spitfire crashed on takeoff six and a half months after he joined the RAF. Lord Harlech the British ambassador, in a statement made through Norman Hallett, British consul here, called the death of Churchill a sad and awesome event. A great chapter in our human history is ended, he said.

McDowell expressed shock and criticism of the citys minimum housing department yesterday after a tour of Northeastern Kansas City, some sections of which he termed a disgrace and worse than slums. He promised to use neglected legal powers to clean up the area, concentrating first on 12 blocks north of Jersey creek between Third and Fifty streets.

Mayor Is Astonished They inspect 12,000 homes around town, McDowell said of the minimum housing department. Why we havent been out there and done something about that (area) Ill never know. lie said it almost appeared that the minimum housing office pur-osely avoided the worst sections of town. Jess E. Hntinger, head of the minimum housing office, said last night his department plans to begin work in some of the northeastern sections this week.

He said an old law mentioned by VlcDowell acted as a deterent to the removal of vacant buildings. Earlier this month, Hutinger said inspectors from his office started a survey of north of the area ot the Gateway urban renewal project between First and Fifty streets north to the city imits. Hutinger recommended hen that 16 houses in. the 3-jlock area north of the project should be condemned. Hutinger said he was awaiting advice on how to attack prob-ems of the area including condemnation of inhabited buildings.

Ive done all I can do without further legal advice, Hutinger said. On College Gronp Tour McD 1 1, representatives from the city legal department and George W. Haley, Negro state senator who defeated McDowell for re-election, were guests of a Kansas City, Kansas, junior college social club, the Alpha Beta brothers, who conducted the tour. I never saw such a mess. I thought I knew every back alley in the district, McDowell said.

Thats a tour that everybody in this town should take. The mayor expressed particular shock at an area on Fifth street near Jersey creek and said the city probably knew ntthicg about it previously. A 1955 law that allows the city to condemn houses that are not fit for habitation, in place of an older law which allowed action only on homes which were structurally unsafe will be used, th mayor said. He said the minimum housing officer would conduct appeals bearings instead of the city commissioners as under the old law. Mayor McDowell said the Alpha Beta brothers made several trips through the tour area every street north of Washington boulevard between Third and Eighth street and most of the alleys In between.

He termed it a very well organized trip.
