A FAMILY VISIT TO POPE AGAIN Permission Grant for a Get-Together Saturday Afternoon 'NO TO SCHOOl HEAD McPherson College President Refused Permission to See Prisoner -oSG Just Can't Fined An Official With The Jurisdiction McPherson, Kas.

Vinnie Lindbeck, McPherson County superintendent of public instruction, was asked this week to undertake a new assignment, slightly outside the scope of her official duties. A farmer telephoned her to come out to his farm and help him move some pigs. She told him she deals with school children, not with gigs. He told her that the only way she could escape the pig-moving job was to put in some culverts next to his pig pen, so the pigs wouldnt have to be moved every time it rains. He said he had to move them three times this week.

Culverts, she said, likewise are outside her jurisdiction. Believing that it was up to the county government to get the culverts installed, he said he had been going down the roster of county officials, contacting one after another, all without success, and finally had reached her name. A NEW CITY IIALL OFFICE to guide persons with business at the City hall, or those with complaints or inquiries, opened this week in the lobby on the first floor at the hall. The office answers telephone calls and letters seeking information or services from the city, besides having primary responsibility for putting out the citys annual report. Mrs.

The first is a model of Old Buffalo Bill, a bull bison of the herd penned near the state park. The second is a plaster model of the statue which will stand on a hill at the park overlooking C.

40 by-pass and the cilv of I lavs. Dimensions of the sculpture will be in feet by 8 feet by 4 feet, one to' two and one-half times life size. Atop a base, it will stand 17 feet high at the highest point. The stone from which the bison will be carved eighs 32 tons. Felten says.

"Set into the four faces of the base will be flat slabs of stone on which I can depict scenes in relief-of Indians hunting, buffalo. the building of the railroad; or perhaps a grouping of a bull, cow and calf and carve a short history of the buffalo, Felten visualizes. Stone From Indiana Limestone for the project will come from a quarry in Indiana. It will take about a year to do the sculpturing. Using only a scaffold and no protection from the elements, Felten will carve it at the site so spectators may watch.

"People are fascinated by the idea and like to watch sculpturing, he says. The biggest problem delaying the project is raising funds. The cost of the stone is $736 and transportation by rail will cost $460. The Old Fort Hays Historical society and the Hays Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring the project and Felten is letting them set his commission. Felten has worked at sculpturing for nine years and has also been a suhsitute teacher at the high school.

The family of Duane Pope, 22-year-old McPherson college graduate held here in connection with the Big Springs, bank holdup and murder of three persons, made arrangements yesterday to visit him again Saturday. Mrs. Earl Pope, Roxburv. his mother, called F. M.

Wilson, United States marshal, today to ask if the family could visit Pope at the Jackson County jail from 1 to 3 oclock Saturday afternoon. Cites a Limitation Wilson told the mother she and other family members could see the prisoner then, or at any other visiting hour. However, he told the mother that no one else could, except Pope's attorney. Mrs. Pope told Wilson that she had learned from I)r.

Whitfield Moody, public defender appointed to represent Pope. Millin added there was no indication that Pope wants to waive removal procedure by which he would be returned to Omaha without the formality of extradition proceedings.
