Powell, chairman of the board of Yellow Transit Freight Lines, Inc. The land is on Elmcrest farm, a 680-acre tract of land lVa miles north of U. S. 50 near Elm, northeast of Lone Jack.

Powell said the remainder of the land will be leased to the council for several dollars a year until ownership of the entire farm, to be known as Powell Scout camp, can be transferred to the council. Full use of the farm is available to the council as of today. Arthur H. Cromb, president of the council, accepted the gift of a one-third stock interest in the farm, Elmcrest Farms, in the transit companys executive office building at Ninety-second street and State Line. Powell said he and his wife accumulated the land in three this 'campsite 'bvery year, Cromb said.

He added that the 1964 Camporee for Scouts from 11 districts in Missouri will be held on the farm. "This new camping area fills a vital council need for providing adequate facilities for the 27,000 boys and 11,000 leaders to have year round camping opportunities, Cromb said. The council has used state and county parks and private property as campsites, in addition to the it owns, H. Roe Bartle Camp reservation at Osceola and Camp Ernst, near Belton. Programs planned at the farm include wildlife management, swimming, wilderness camping and field sports for Explorer scouts.

The development, use and administration of the camp will be managed by the camping division of the council, which is headed by Ray E. Lawrence, vice-president of the council. pieces during the last 20 years. had planned to leave it to some 'youth organization in our will, Powell said, but we decided not to wait. "The Scouts have used it occasionally as a campsite, and we decided they need it now on a permanent basis.

1 Never was there a greater need, Powell said. "I am happy the Scouts can use this property in furthering their programs, and I am pleased with the immediate and long range plans that the council has for use of this area. The site, located in the geographical center of the council area, includes four lakes ranging in size from four to 13 acres. Cromb said the land provides opportunity for weekend and day camping, special outdoor training sessions, camp leadership training sessions, conservation projects, boating and canoeing and nature study.

Plenty of Agreement on Serving Indigent I Goal of Negotiation TfteaCace After hearing of a prom ised era when Missouri and Kansas school children will get co-ordinated televised instruction over several educational channels, a group of regional educators took a step here today toward opening that era.

The educators, representing mainly Greater Kansas City school districts but also coming from Lexington, and beyond, agreed to work toward a regional planning body for educational television. To Widen Scope The first aim of the new group, if artd when it is created, would be to make the Kansas City school district station, KCSD, more responsive to the needs of other school districts within the 60-mile future viewing radius of the stations transmitter. About 40 representatives of nearby Missouri and Kansas school districts, including many superintendents, attended the meeting at the Kansas City school board building. James Hazlett. Kansas City school superintendent, told the group he felt the whole television service could be improved "if we can determine the programs that would produce the greatest benefit for the most people.

"Were not here to insist that we develop a plan of mutual financing, he said. "We do feel there might be certain offerings which we have that would be of such value to your systems that we could work out a program for mutual assistance. On Voluntary Basis Any such program would be strictly voluntary, he said, since the Kansas City district cannot prevent any school from using the districts programs. In any case, such mutual financing is not the immediate need, Hazlett said. What is needed, he said, is a regional planning body to advise the Kansas City district in developing programs that will suit the needs of many, school districts in the region.

Clyde Howe, KCSD chief engineer, told the educators that by summer equipment purchased with federal aid will skyrocket the stations power from 17.4 to 209 kilowatts, making it roughly equal in power to commercial stations in this area. Radius of 60 Miles With proper installation, television sets within a radius of 60 miles of the stations City hall antenna would receive a UHF signal unaffected by electrical "noise that sometimes troubles VHF television he said. Broadcasting formal classroom teaching during, school hours on channel 19, the station will be able to send evening cultural programs to homes within that same 60-mile radius. "With no commercials and no Yogi Bear, we are here to serve the public as an educational institution, Howe remarked. In answer to a question, Howe pointed out that in about five years the range of teaching programs may be greatly increased with the addition of Missouri and Kansas state educational stations, as well as possible university stations.

Interest in Proposal Msg. Henry Gardner, superintendent in schools of the Catholic archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, pointed out that he is greatly interested in proposals that Washburn university in Topeka set up a transmitter in Greater Kansas City. Following the discussion, the school district representatives agreed to ask the Metropolitan School Study Group along with organizations of Kansas school superintendents draw up plans for a regional television planning body. The Metropolitan group is an organization of Missouri side school superintendents. RESTS AFTER SURGERY Former Mayor Bartles Daughter Is at St.

If in the next six months we have a reasonable line on what our plans will be, we can set a pattern that will last for the next 50 years, he added.

"Youre either moving or youre dead. Nathan Stark, president of the medical center board, said he knows from experience that it is the philosophy of the U. S. Public Health Service to look kindly on regional planning and not so kindly on "spotty development. To Draw Many Wadsworth said it is important that it be understood the medical center will be more than a place to care for indigent patients.

He pointed out that more persons are employed now in caring for the sick than are employed in the production of rubber, steel and textiles combined. Some day, he said, the medical center complex will be a major industry in Kansas City. "This is not just a matter of serving the indigent, Wadsworth said with a grin. "Its almost as important as the Kansas City As. Dr.

J. Frederick Sparling, executive director of the medical center, said there is a critical shortage of medical personnel and that they are better utilized in unified operations. Many other benefits would accrue, particularly in the area of purchasing, he added. "I tend to feel we should have a 3-county and city hospital and that we should move as swiftly as possible, Curry said. This makes more sense than anything else.

He said legislative action is needed so the county can put more funds into health care. There is now a 6-cent levy limitation for health services, set by a state law. Curry said a strong, well-prepared plan must be ready for presentation to the Missouri General Assembly in 1965. The two Jackson County Court judges agreed to appoint a 5-member committee to work with a committee of the medical center board and with Clay and A no.te of urgency was injected today into negotiations for a working arrangement between the General Hospital Medical Center and Clay, Platte and Jack-son Counties to supply medical care for the indigent. Meeting with two judges of the Jackson County court, medical center representatives said today the development of an area hospital plan will be of vital importance to the great hospital complex that is scheduled to rise around the present general hospital.

To Meet Again Judge Floyd Snyder and Judge Charles Curry agreed that efforts for working arrangements with the three counties should be pressed. Hospital representatives are scheduled to meet again next month with Clay and Platte County officials. Homer Wadsworth, consultant to the medical center, pointed out that the center will one day a 59-million dollar complex of health facilities, and that more than 50 per cent of financing may be supplied by the federal government. Other medical centers throughout the nation also are seeking federal funds, but Kansas City presently has an advantage in possibilities for regional planning which its recent change in status from a city to a corpora tee operation makes possible. Wants to Act "Our present advantage will Platte County representatives in drawing up a plan.

Also attending the meeting today were G. Leslie DeLapp, chairman of the medical center committee, and Louis McGee, a member. Judge Hunter Phillips of the county court was unable to attend the gathering because of other county business. ELBEL TRIAL IS RESET. Judg Templar to Hear Fraud Case February 17 Topeka (AP) U.

S. District Judge George Templar yesterday tentatively rescheduled the trial of Donald H. Elbel, Kansas City' residential developer charged with fraud on 23 counts, for February 17. It had previously been set for February 3. The new date was set after Templar overruled a motion by the defendant to suppress evidence.

The defense claimed evidence was obtained through illegal search and seizure. A federal grand jury charged Elbel in 1962 with violation of Securities and Exchange commission and postal regulations.
