The agency said more than a million students had received a college education since the Communists took over the country in 1949. Jefferson City (AP) Governor, Dalton and other Missouri officials will go to Bartlesville, today to develop a tourist promotion plan with officials of Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas.

Offer by Highway Engineer Is Accepted by City Engineer ACTION A COMPROMISE REVISED PLAN IN 1965 Army Seeks to Add Full Regi- mental Complex Each Year Donald R. Elliott Withdraws After Rebuke to Mayor, Who Vested Appointment PAID BY REFUND MONEY Warner Holloway Submits List of 10.8 Miles of Streets Kfk HARSH HEARING TODAY CONVICTED SLAYER IS AC CUSED OF BURGLARY son for vetoing my appointment, I or to provide me with a copy I of why you disagree (with the! opinions), I can only conclude that in your youthful exuberance I to exercise dictatorial power you have taken this stand for political reasons alone, Elliott read from a letter, which he submitted for record. Elliott said Rainey would not have been a candidate for mayor in the general election if nonpartisan elections had existed in the primary. Democratic councilmen have said they would sponsor a measure for nonpartisan elections. Elliott received 967 votes in the primary to 707 for Rainey.

Bob Owen, Raineys opponent in the general, was the top vote getter in the primary with 1,158. I have no complaints on the results of the last election, Rainey told Elliott. It would be my privilege to file suit and even take the matter to the Supreme court of Kansas, which I would do, Elliott said, except for the fact this would prolong the delay in getting a representative from the fifth ward on the governing body. The vote on Broadfoots appointment was unanimous. A political feud on the Overland Park city council ended last night with the compromise appointment of Harold L.

Broad-foot to the fifth-ward council vacancy. Broadfoot, 35, of 9332 Woodson street, a Republican, will serve out the unexpired term of Harry A. Burkart, who resigned August 5 after taking a job in another state. Broadfoot is on the board of Valley View elementary school district No. 49.

Donald R. Elliott, the first choice of the Republican majority for the council vacancy, withdrew his name early in the meeting, but not before delivering a verbal barrage at Mayor Marvin E. Rainey, his strongest opponent in the minority ranks. A Republican attempt to appoint Elliott, an unsuccessful candidate for mayor in the primary, drew a veto from Rainey, who said the appointment was politically inspired. Opinions from the Kansas attorney general and the League of Kansas Municipalities held that Rainey did not have veto power over council appointments.

Inasmuch as you have not had the courtesy to give a rea- i Washington (AP) The Army wants $8,942,000 for Military construction for the year started July 1 in ils long range program for Et. Leonard Wood, Mo. fThe request made in testimony released yesterday by a House appropriations subcommittee prompted the subcommittee chairman, Harry R. Sheppard D-Calif.) to comment that program continues merrily along its upward way. Up to 210 Million Iilast year, he said during tljel'recent hearings, you had anestimated total program of lJJ.jnillion.

Now you are up to Sheppard requested rfp explanation. LtCol. F. W. Rhea said since 14st year the Army has been working again on the 5-year construction program and we have been required to develop a 5-year annex.

the past, Rhea said, we have been going at the rate of one-half of a barracks complex each year at Ft. Leonard Wood. This is to take care of 1,630 men. We have revised our plan for Leonard Wood starting with 1565 and we are trying to go at the rate of a full regimental complex each year, which would be just double that number. That factor reflected in 3 years will add some 20 million dolXars alone to this total.

This is most of the reason for the increase. RAZING PLANS AT FORTS Old Facilities to Go if Funds Are Received Arraignment of Olathe Youth Who Killed Donne Busby to Be in District Court Arraignment for Lloyd Lee Harsh, 18, on charges of bur glary and larceny is scheduled for 4 oclock this afternoon in the Johnson County District court. Harsh is serving a term of 10 to 20 years in the state industrial reformatory, Hutchinson, after being convicted of killing a high school classmate, Miss Donna Dee Busby, 17, Olathe, and wounding her 20-year-old fiance with a shotgun March 2. Earlier yesterday Harsh appeared in magistrate court and waived preliminary examination. A 17-year-old jail inmate who cursed Judge Raymond H.

Carr yesterday was sentenced to consecutive terms of five years and five to 15 years on charges of grand larceny and burglary. Usually such terms would run concurrently. The youth is Roy Richard Boyd, 8821 West Fiftieth street terrace. Randy L. Miksell, 22, who was stationed at the Nike Missile site, Gardner, was tentatively scheduled to be arraigned at 9:30 oclock the morning of September 23 on a charge of murder.

Graham declared that many who can quote the batting averages of their favorite baseball players are woefully ignorant of the things of the Lord. The evangelist urged his audience in Los Angeles Coliseum to learn the secret of prayer.

He said man has learned to harness the power of the atom, but that very few people have learned to develop the power of prayer. Graham said one reason the United Nations is not more effective in handling world problems is that there is no prayer and very little recognition of God. Los Angeles (AP) Evangelist Billy Graham said last night that the decade just passed has been a period of one of the greatest religious revivals in American history. But he added: Historians will question the depth of the spiritual awakening. Religion has become respectable and popular, but at the same time, self denial and cross-bearing, which Christ demanded, are almost unknown.

Graham said one of the reasons why other ideologies are making such inroads in the world today is that Christians have failed to pay the price of SIZES 8 TO 18 Wear 2 ways, sashed or unsashed, with favorite blouse.

The county highway department has offered to improve some streets in Raytown and deduct the improvement cost from the money owed the city from the road and bridge tax fund, the Raytown city council learned last night.

Warner W. Holloway, city engineer, said Harvey A. Jones, county highway engineer, called him last week and asked him to submit a list of streets for possible improvement. Nearly 11 Miles Holloway submitted a list of 13 streets totaling about 11 miles. The streets would be paved with oil and gravel.

Holloway said crews from the county department were working yesterday in the city. The annual refund from the county road and bridge tax fund to many cities in the county has been held up since last year because the county court has not unanimously approved the refunds. In 1961, Raytown filed a request for about $30,000. Mayor Murray C. Boogher said at least that much was due the city for 1962.

Holloway said he did not know how much the total suggested improvement would cost. The department plans to work as long as weather permits, he said. Holloway said the department had not committed itself to improving the streets he listed for improvement. Councilmen asked whether there was any hope of obtaining the money owed to the city from the county. Broogher said there appeared to be little hope.

Raytown planned to pave the streets which Holloway listed for improvement, he said. Councilman Joseph E. Shelton asked whether the money owed Raytown was set aside for that purpose by the county. Boogher said it was not. The money is in the county general fund, he said.

Question Is Raised If it is not being held for us, Shelton said, how do we proceed to take credit for some-thing that is not set aside for us. Councilman William Ray Bon-durant said the street improvement was not limited to Raytown. Some work is being done in Independence and other cities, he said. Holloway said some employees from his department would work with county officials in improve-ing the streets. The streets would be built to the citys specifications, he said.

OUTBURST AFTER RIOT Tear Gas Quiets Inmates at Georgia Prison Reidsville, Ga. (AP) Unruly prisoners staged a brief flare of violence at Georgias maximum security prison here last night following a riot earlier in the day. R. P. Balkcom, warden, said tear gas was fired into a cell block containing about 120 inmates.

Balkcom said the prisoners became unruly and began destroying remaining furniture and property within the cell block. He said the tear gas quieted the prisoners. READ AND USE STAR WANT ADS. ft. Z' ''ff i.

The youth, Ronald Everett Fruit, of near Spring Hill, had been charged with malicious destruction of property worth more than $50. He pleaded guilty to a charge of destruction of property worth less than $50.

Magistrate William S. Allen ordered him put on probation for two years. BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL L. M. Hawkins and Michael Angelo Spero Post Bonds Lawrence M.

Hawkins, 40, and Michael Angelo Spero, 25, were bound over yesterday to the Clay County Circuit court, to face trial on charges of tampering with a motor car. The two men were arrested last Monday by Patrolman Charles Ross of the North Kansas City police department, who said he watched through binoculars as an attempt was made to steal a spare tire from his car in a parking lot at the North Kansas City bowl. Hawkins, of 911 Holmes street, and Spero, 718 Lydia avenue, appeared before Magistrate Joseph L. Duffy at preliminary hearings yesterday. They posted bonds of $2,500 each.

Hawkins and Spero were indicted by a Jackson County grand jury in January, accused of receiving stolen drugs and sundries valued at $700. HEADS ARMY RESERVE Washington (AP) Maj. Gen. William J. Sutton became the new chief of the Army reserve yesterday.

Sutton, who was born in North Carolina but has lived in San Antonio, for many years, was sworn in at a Pentagon ceremony. Washington (AP) The Army plans to raze or abandon some obsolete structures at Ft. Leavenworth and Ft. Riley, if Congress provides funds requested for new construction. Recent testimony before a House appropriations subcommittee, made public yesterday, shows the Army is urging a program of eight items at Ft.

Leven worth totaling $2,883,000 and two at Ft. Riley for Army officials said a $727,000 chapel with religious educational- facilities is needed at Ft. Leavenworth because present facilities have inadequate space. The need now is being met in several widely separated buildings, they added. They said a World War II frame chapel would be disposed of; two used for religious educational activities would be razed and two, constructed as storage buildings, would be used for other purposes.

Two would be retained. Overcrowding of chapels presents a fire hazard, they added. Also included in requests was a $725,000 enlisted mens barracks without mess. The subcommittee was told present facilities are old, substandard and inadequate and it was proposed to demolish existing buildings containing 66,460 square feet and construct new facilities on the site. At Ft.

Riley, Army officials said, the program requested includes a $288,000 enlisted womens barracks with mess. WAC personnel, they explained, are now housed in mobilization-type buildings designed to fill a 5-year need in 1943 and the buildings cannot be retained for permanent use without major renovation and rehabilitation. It is proposed, they said, to raze the four buildings now occupied by WAC personnel as construction progressed. A $573,000 chapel with religious educational facilities also is required to serve military personnel and dependents, they said. Existing temporary chapels in the Camp Funston and Camp Forsyth areas would be abandoned.

The Valley View Board of Education last night reaffirmed action taken at a closed meeting August 12 at which the 1963-64 contract of Frank Creason, superintendent, was approved. All members of the board were present and the vote was unanimous. Last month, Harry B. Reese cast the only vote against retaining Creason. Another member, John L.

Schroeder, was absent then. The board voted to affirm Creasons contract after seven patrons who submitted written complaints against the superintendent failed to attend. They were asked to confront the board and Creason with the charges. Complaints Not Disclosed Contents of the complaints were not disclosed, but the board said they involved the educational program, educational environment and disciplinary measures only. The complaints were presented to two members of the board after Reese asked that Creasons contract be reviewed at the August 5 meeting.

Reese, who said earlier he would list sufficient reasons why Creason should be dismissed, asserted last night that there were no negative board members now. We are all in support of the superintendent, he added. I dont think we should examine his qualifications every month. Issue Is Settled William D. Hatley, president of the board, said Creasons contract is a dead issue until it comes time to review it again next year.

Twenty-six patrons attended the meeting last night at the Valley View school. About 600 attended the August 5 session. INJURED IN 3-CAR CRASH Mrs. Ann Carrollo, 56, Hurt in Independence Mrs. Ann Carrollo, 56, of 12816 East Forty-seventh street.
