Pennell, 41, San Diego, has pleaded guilty to grand larceny by check. Superior Court Judge William Williams ordered a presentence investigation.

Deputy Pros. Atty, Fred J. Caruso said Pennell opened an account with the University City Branch of the Old National Bank on Sept. 22 with a $50 check, later depositing checks made out to him on checks from a Salt Lake City bank and signed by Lee J. La Brian.

Caruso said the La Brian and Pennell signatures were in the same handwriting, and that there were insufficient funds in the Salt Lake City account to cover the deposited checks. On Sept. 25, Caruso said, Pen. nell closed out the University City account with a $250 check. Pennell told the court he wants to make restitution for the bad checks and he asked that he be considered for a work-release program.

i By 301IN J. LEMON Chronicle Political Editor A "sleeper" provision in a constitutional approved by the voters in November could cause the state leg'slature to delay passage of implementing legislation necessary to affect formation of combined city-county government anywhere in the state. An unpublicized last sentence Iii ILIR 21, the Home Rule charter amendment, declares that authority conferred on the city-county government shall not be restricted by the second sentence of Article 7, section 1, or by Article 8, section 6, of the Constitution. According to attorneys who researched the new constitutional amendment for the Association of Washington Business, the pro. posed city-county governments could practically ignore existing limits on both indebtedness and taxing authority currently imposed not only on counties and municipalities, but the state legislature as well.

By exempting the new city-county government from the second sentence of article 7 of the constitution, such a unit could levy and collect taxes for The Mother's March for the 1973 March of Dimes campaign will be Jan. 22 and 23, it was announced at the group's annual luncheon yesterday.

NORTH DIVISION AT THE 1" 1 11111HARDWAIE STOP E.i;10.)S 1 Jennafer Lynn Boles is the first baby girl born in the Boles family in 90 'years. Since the birth of her great-great aunt, Edna, in 1882, all of the descendants of Walter Randolph Boles have had sons. And the family tree shows each son has had two sons.

Jennafer Lynn was born two months ago to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Eugene Boles, N9817 Wall. And true to form, she joined two broth. ers, Brett, 8, and Jeff, 7.

The ehildr en is paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Boles, W2403 Queen.

Her mother says Jennafer is a particularly good baby. But, then, when a family has waited this long, what else could one expect? Girt Held; 2nd Put Into Home JAIMARV VRTEk11120V1 16 PauI RI Saw ey Felten by One young girl was ordered detained in the County Juvenile Detention Home and another was placed in the temporary custody of a receiving home during proceedings before Judge John J. Lally in Juvenile Court today. Because of her tendency to "go over the hill," Lally said the 15-year-old, who had been living in a group-home situation, would remain in detention until a hearing next Friday to determine final disposition of her case. In a fact-finding hearing today the 14-year-old girl was allowed to return to a receiving home where, her foster mother said, she is "doing very well." Lally said he will consider in labout 30 days a petition for the girl's wardship based on allegations of incorrigibility.

A two-man sanity commission made up of Dr. John Lambert and Dr. Sol Levy has been appointed by Superior Court Judge John J. Lally to examine Jerry Lewis, 36, to determine if he now is able to appreciate his peril and participate in his own defense against charges of robbery and first-degree murder. The charges stem from a 1971 holdup of the Bon Marche Department Store.

Killed in the incident was Peggy G. Palmer. Lally, who signed a stay-ofproceedings order on Dec. 1, 1971, sending Lewis to Eastern State Hospital until he became capable of standing trial, appointed the commission on the motion of Pros. Atty.

Donald C. Brockett. Brockett told Lally he had received a letter signed by several staff members at the hospital end asserting that Lewis now is able to stand trial. Levy and Lambert were the psychiatrists who examined Lewis during his earlier hearing before Judge tally. Lewis' codefendant in the action, James E.

Boyd, earlier this week was ordered released from the hospital by Judge Willard J. Roe, who granted a writ of habeas corpus on a petition brought by Public Defender Richard L. Cease. Roe subsequently signed an order dismissing the charges against Boyd. Boyd had been deemed unable to aid in his own defense because of a low intelligence quotient, while Lewis suffered brain damage when he was shot in the head by a city policeman as he (Lewis) allegedly was attempting to flee from the store.

Anticipating a sharp curtailment in federal matching money, greater diversion of highway construction money to other uses and increased costs due to Inflation, there are expected to be substantial cutbacks in planned programs for the next two years. In addition, the Highway Department has made major revisions in its six-year program of planned construction projects. Sen. Sam C. Guess, R-Spokane, member of the Senate Transportation Committee, said there will be a 38 per cent reduction in state highway spending in the Spokane highway district comprising Spokane, Stevens, Pend Oreille, Lincoln, Adams and Whitman Counties, and it could be more.

Delay Seen According to Guess, $27.5 million of highway work in the Spokane district alone will be de. layed from two to six years because of lack of funds and an. other $46.6 million worth of work in this area will receive only token funding during the next six years. Being postponed are stage 11 development of Highway 195 between Pullman and Colfax and Rosalia and Watt Road, plus the Colfax bypass and also the improvement of the highway between Pullman and Moscow and the link between highways 195 and 270. Among projects listed for "token" funding are the proposed $38.5 million Spokane morthsouth freeway and the southeast leg of the planned Pullman bypass route.

Six major construction projects are scheduled in Spokane District 6 during the coming biennium, according to the budget proposalsfour in Spokane and two in Whitman county. Projects Continue Two are continuation of work on the Spokane-Pullman 195 highway development: $3,242,350 for stage I construction between Rosalla and Spokane County and $1,242,750 for stage I work from the Spokane County line to Plaza. For the present, it is planned that only two of the planned four lanes of new high way will be finished and opened to traffic. Another $2,873,300 expenditure Is planned for Highway 276 be. tween Highway 195 and the Palouse Highway, a 3.47-mile roadway with two traffic lanes planned for the first stage.

Another $1,440,400 is earmarked for a roadway linking the Liberty Park freeway interchange in Spokane with Sprague, which could be the first phase of a north-south freeway project. Highway officials said the ramps and roadway between the existing freeway and Sprague will be required, regardless of whether the major north-south roadway is developed. Interchange Included Also budgeted is $928,200 to upgrade the Argonne interchange in Spokane Valley with Improved ramps, concrete un-, dercrossings and connections to the county's new one-way street pattern there. The Highw ay Department seeks to allocate $439,120 to build 5.13 miles of state route 251 from Deep Creek to Melrose Mine Road west of Spokane, a route to consist of two 12-foot lanes with four-foot shoulders on an existing "deficient" roadway. Guess said there is an $18 lion discrepancy between requests of the Highway Department, State Patrol and Department of Motor Vehicles, which share the motor vehicle fund, and the estimated amount that will be available in the next biennium.

If the Highway Department must bear the entire $18 million loss, many of the jobs scheduled for the next biennium will have to be cut back. Among those would be the Argonne Interchange and Deep Creek-to-Meh'ose Mine Road projects. "We really aren't sure what will develop until the legislature meets and the Senate and House committees can make snore detailed studies of the budget requirements an proposals," Guess said. He added that the amount of federal funding that will be available currently is "an Iffy matter," depending on Congress and the administration. Guess said the budget is developed on the premise that 05 per cent of promised and anticipated federal matching money will be forthcoming.

"If it isn't," Guess said, "we may find ourselves confined only to that work now in progress, maintenance and rebuild-ling existing roads within existing rights-of-way." oovarity iovLg Li Ideal for kitchen, both-walls, cabinets, all woodwork.
