Hat Bar 4th Floor Downtown, Plaza and Ward Parkway FOR A SMALLER SCHOOL ISSUE James Hazlett Envisions $17,500,000 Bond Proposal THREE ITEMS TRIMMED New Plan Should Go on November Ballot, He Says The Kansas City superintendent of schools urged yesterday that a $17,500,000 school bond proposal be presented to the voters in the November 3 election. Superintendent James A. Haz-letts proposal is $500,000 less than the amount which failed to win a two-thirds majority at the polls in May. In Three Steps He trimmed out $275,000 by shifting writedown on urban renewal property in the Manual area from school to city bonds, $300,000 by eliminating mobile classrooms and $40,000 by reducing the number of proposed television outlets for schools from 300 to 150. The school board decided last night to hold a hearing at 7:30 oclock Tuesday night in the Board of Education auditorium before setting the figure.

The money would be used to build schools to alleviate overcrowding, most of it in the Central high school area; develop a city-wide vocational-technical school provide fire prevention measures; build gymnasiums auditoriums and cafeterias in schools lacking them; modernize schools, and improve special educational areas. The proposal also would include $500,000 for branch library expansion. Delay Library Decision The school board decided to hold up discussion of its using the Plaza tennis courts for a branch library site until after the State Highway commission presents its report on a north-south freeway through Kansas City. The report is expected in October. Yesterday Carleton F.

Sharpe, city manager, informed the school board the land might be needed for an interchange into the Plaza from the freeway. Edward T. Matheny, school board attorney, said that the school board had won its case before the Missouri Supreme court and that the decision made it clear it could use the tennis court land for a library no matter what second thoughts the city might have now. He added, however, that the city was considering filing for a rehearing. This usually is denied, he said.

Views Are Varied Board members expressed varying views on the use of the land. Mrs. James A. Reed said it would be a shame to put a clo-verleaf in front of one of the most beautiful fountains in the country, referring to the Nichols fountain at Forty-seventh and J. C.

Nichols road. She reminded the board that she has promised to give a piece of land adjacent to Swope park to the park board, through the school board, if the contract for use of the tennis court site is consumated. This would be in addition to the $200,000 the school board has promised to pay for relocating the tennis courts. Mrs. Reed said the land she is offering consists of five acres on Sixty-third street at the east side of the park.

If the plan to place the library on the tennis court site is not carried out, she said she will sell her land. James M. Kemper, and Mrs. Tom J. Stubbs raised the possibility of buildipg the library to the north of the Nichols fountain but Wentworth E.

Griffin reminded the school board that the park board turned down this idea several years ago. The park board said it would ruin the vista, he recalled. SENATE LACKS A QUORUM Reapportionment Deadlock Has Not Been Broken DU PONT A large part of the American public is suspicious of house builders, their products and their practices, an untrue image that must be reversed, Miss Laurin Magee, a marketing consultant to the housebuilding industry, said here last night. Miss Magee, of Washington, spoke to about 280 persons at a dinner at the Hotel Muehlebach for the 17th annual Parade of Homes, sponsored by the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City. The parade will begin Sunday and run through the following Sunday.

This year 132 exhibition homes, 68 of them furnished will be featured. Forty-six of the homes are in Johnson County, 44 in Jackson County, 29 in Clay County, five in Wyandotte County, seven in Platte County and one in Cass County. The homes will be open from noon until 8 oclock weekdays and from 10 until 8 o'clock on Saturday and Sundays. Miss Magee, a partner in the consulting firm of Stanley Edge Associates and executive vice-president of the Housing Guidance council in Washington, tolc the house builders that persons in their industry have a difficult time getting credit for building good houses because of pre-con-ceived notions many buyers have. Miss Magee said that the public has little or no picture of the builder as a responsible mem ber of his community, a true professonal handling every detail of his business in the best way possible.

The builders im age as a responsible businessman can and should be put in its true and proper light, she said COURSE FOR PILOTS POROMtRIC MATLRIAL Mrs. Nellie Gale Stephens, wife and former business partner of A. J. Stephens, retired industrialist, died last night at St. Lukes hospital after a long ill-n s.

The home is at 6124 Ward parkway. Mrs. e-phens, the former Mrs. Nellie Trego, was a young widow from Humboldt, a just graduated from business college, when she took a $9-a-week job with a tire manufacturing company Stephens owned here before 1921. When the rubber market collapsed that year Stephens, a millionaire, was bankrupted.

Mrs. Trego borrowed money on her home to enable Stephens to start again in business and from then was an equal partner in his varied enterprises. She was secretary-treasurer of A. J. Stephens Co.

for three decades. Gradually Ihe company came to specialize in custom-built bank, restaurant and store fixtures and furniture, developing upholstering, sheet-metal, woodworking, painting and finishing departments. s. Tregos sound business sense was credited for part of the comeback. Mr.

Stephenss first wife died in 1943, and in 1945 he and Mrs. Trego were married. In 1951 they retired, intending to spend more time on their 100-acre retreat, Basswood, in Platte County- Basswood led to another business enterprise, the Basswood Springs Water company founded by Stephens, which sells bottled spring water. In 1958 Stephens started the Hereford House restaurant. But after her 1951 retirement Mrs.

Stephens generally left business affairs to her husband, although she remained in an advisory capacity. The Stephenses also bought a home in Scottsdale, Ariz. Mrs. Stephens, who was born November 7, 1888, was a member of the Country Club Christian church, the Soroptimist club, the Womens Chamber of Commerce, the Womans City club, the Athenaeum, was a charter member of the Business and Professional Womens club and was treasurer of the Childrens Cardiac center. Also surviving are a daughter, Mrs.

Dorothy Sybrandt, Summit, A man was shot last night in an altercation in a private club in Kansas City, Kansas. None of the six or eight patrons in the club, called The Speakeasy, at 1263 Kansas avenue, appeared to know the patron, who was shot once with a revolver. Af St. Margaret hospital the victim was identified as Richard Lee Tullis, 23, of 1118 Gilmore avenue. He was in critical con dition with a gunshot wound between the eyes.

The assailant, described by other patrons as a big man, tossed the revolver aside as he ran to his car and drove off. One person told police the man had said he was leaving the city. Patrolman James Simmons reported one of the patrons told him that the big man had threatened Tullis; I ought to shoot you right between the eyes. Tullis said to go ahead and the man fired, Simmons quoted the informant as saying. Another customer, Don Teeters of 5033 Ottawa avenue, Wyandotte County, said he had entered the club with Tullis, but had not known his name.

Since an assault the night of August 4, two persons have died in private club incidents in Kansas City, Kansas.

With a deadlock over the state legislative reapportionment issue unbroken, a filibuster of sorts going on over that issue and no voting in sight this week, many members have scattered to the compaign hustings. The Senate met at 11 o'clock yesterday morning, an hour earlier than usual, but shortly before 1 oclock Sen. Damiel K. Inouye of Hawaii made a point of no quorum. Inouye was acting as Democratic leader in the absence of Sen.
