School Planning Board Decides Not to Hold Second Election in Northeast Johnson County on Plan Defeated June 2 HEAR TESTIMONY IN VOTE PROBE Three Persons Questioned on Alleged Primary Irregularities AT A CLOSED SESSION K. B. I. Agent Says Meeting Is for Fact-Finding Purposes Three persons notified to appear yesterday at the Johnson County courthouse after allegations of irregularities in the Johnson County primary election testified in a closed session in the office of Hugh Kreamer, county attorney.

The county attdrney and Wendell Cowan, K. B. I. agent representing the Kansas attorney general, received statements from Willard Cook, election commissioner, Mrs. Margaret Dostal, a G.

O. P. secretary in charge of the party headquarters, and Mrs. Polly Kirk, a Republican precinct committeewdman. At the start, Kreamer said the session was to be closed at the request of Cowan.

The county attorney said Cowans office was taking the ball from that point On. He had earlier expressed reluctance to those alleging irregularities to conduct an investigation until they could show grounds. That meeting Wednesday was open. Cowan said afte the session the meeting was part of an investigation and was held for fact-finding purposes, indicating no determination was to be made at the time. The K.

B. I. agent added that the information gathered will be turned over to William Ferguson, attorney general, to determine whatever action he PERPLEXED BY THE DAMAGE from a car which crashed into his garage, John G. Matalon, 5001 Reeds road. Mission, surveys the damage, estimated at $2,500.

A 3-year-old boy was at the wheel of the vehicle which crashed through the garage door. It was the third time the Matalon home had been struck by motor cars. Police were reluctant to move the car last night because it appeared to be holding up part of the garage. The damage was estimated at $2,500. Matalon said the accident caused more damage than the other two.

A 5-year-old bov, who was not injured, was at the wheel of the car which struck the house in 1962. An Unoccupied Car A short time later, an unoccupied car parked nearby rolled into a corner of the garage, causing some damage. Matalon said the owner of the car had failed to use the emergency brake. Matalon, with the three accidents fresh in his mind, said he difinitely would build some type of barricade now. JOHN G.

MATALON was convinced it could never happen again. He had considered building a barricade between the street and his home, 5001 Reeds road. Mission, after cars had damaged a prized tree, then his home, in two other accidents, but he gave up the idea. Matalon had reason to be sorry last night when a car rolled down a hill and into the garage of his home. The garage door was not open, but the vehicle crashed through.

In the drivers seat was a 3-year-old boy. Steve Mohr, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Mohr, 5607 West Fiftieth street.

Mission, had decided to try out his fathers car, which was parked in the driveway. After trying out the gear shift lever and the emergency brake, Steve coasted out the drive, turned around and headed about 150 feet down a steep hill into Matalons garage. He suffered only a minor bruise on the cheek. Matalon was in his basement when he heard the I looked around to see what was happening, then I 1 had visions of the whole house falling, then I saw dust and debris come out of the basement walls. I had no idea what was heppening, then I thought it might have been a car, or an airplane or even an earthquake.

Parked in Driveway The car in which Steve was riding struck Matalons car, which was parked in the driveway, and veered into the garage.

106. The decision came on the heels of an opinion from the office of the Kansas attorney general which said a second election on the unification plan defeated June 2 would be illegal. Under Single Board Vdters soundly defeated the proposal to merge 13 elementary school districts with the Shawnee-Mission high school district under a single board of education. The vote was 5,733 to 2,954. Four members of the 6-member planning unit refused to alter the original plan.

Rhein Bentainghoven, planning unit chairman, conducted a telephone poll last night with other members before announcing the decision. Due to the fact that the attorney generals office said it would be illegal to hold another election on the same plan, Benninghoven said, the board decided against another election. We will go ahead with plans for getting out a report on the reasons for the failure df the election, the chairman said. The unification law, passed by the 1963 Kansas Legislature, provides that the board and the state superintendent prepare separate reports to be presented to the legislative council by November 4. The reports are to evaluate causes df the failure to obtain voter approval.

Plan Not Modified Soon after the first election the board, faced with the possibility of cdnducting a second election, decided in favor of the same plan which had been defeated. The plan was resubmitted to Adel F. Throckmorton, state superintendent of schools. Contained in the plah was a delineation of boundaries between three districts, each of which would elect two representatives for a unified board. The three were: All land north of Sevetoty-fifth street and west of Nall avenue; all land south of Seventy-fifth and west of N'l, and all land east of Nall.

Thrdckmortons reply on June 30 to the boards resubmission was a suggestion that the north-south boundary be changed from Nall to Roe avenue, one-half mile east. After studying the recommendation, the board decided the change would not be of sufficient importance. In mid-July, the board replied to the superintendent, saying another election would not be advisable. Believed Change Necessary In reply to a query to the attorney generals office, the board was told that a second election should be on a modified unification plan. I think, the attorney general wrote in an earlier opinion, the legislators did not intend that the same issue be resubmitted to the electors twice in three months, but at least some modification be made.

William Ferguson, attorney general, commented that the question of whether to change the plan would have been viewed in a different light if the election vote had been close instead of 2 to 1. Against Needless Cost In an opinion telephoned from the attorney generals office this week, Hugh Kreamer, county attorney, was urged to take steps to see that they (the planning board) do not proceed and spend money needlessly on this contemplated election. Kreamer was advised to contact John J. Gardner, school planning board attorney, to dissuade him from proceeding with an election. As a last resort, the attorney generals office suggested, an action should be filed to enjoin the board from conducting an election.

Kreamer said he would have done that if it had been necessary, but said he was certain the board would decide against having an election. Johnson County residents outside of the northeast section approved five unification proposals in the June 2 election. A separate planning board drafted the proposals. Johnson County was the only county in the state with two planning units. Generally, the five unified districts will surround Stanley, Spring Hill, Olathe, Gardner and De Soto.

HOLD RIGHTS SEMINAR Policemen, Prosecutors Attend Session at U. M. K. C. About 250 police officers and prosecutors attended a seminar on the recently enacted federal civil rights law and the fugitive-felon act yesterday at the University df Missouri at Kansas City.

The closed meeting, held in Pierson hall, was sponsored by the FBI. Symington Is Mentioned as Veep Possibility St. Louis (AP) Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.) is the lightest of the dark horses being considered by President Johnson for the second spot on the Democratic national ticket, the Post-Disptach said yesterday. a dispatch from Washington, the newspaper quoted an unnamed source close to the President as saying Symington is definitely in the Presidents mind as a possible running mate.

The newspaper was told that no one held a clear lead in Johnsons consideration of vice-presidential candidates. This source said Symington appeared to be somewhere in the middle of a field of persons seeking the Presidents nod. SAY GAS LEAKS CAUSE BLASTS Series of Explosions in Raytown Attributed to Fuel in Line Infiltration of gasoline into an 8-inch sanitary sewer line at Sixty-third street and Blue Ridge boulevard in Raytown apparently caused the explosions which rocked the intersection the last two days. Samples of liquid taken from excavations made in the street yesterday near the sewer lines proved to be gasoline, Warner W. Holloway, city engineer, said last night.

The liquid was analyzed by Midwest Research Institute late last night. Hurls Manhole Cover Thursday morning, the cover on a manhole was hurled an estimated 50 feet in the air and landed on the fender of a motor car stopped for a traffic light at the intersection. About 8:30 oclock yesterday morning, cover was thrown about 5 feet in the air by another explosion. While Raytown fire and public works officials were viewing the explosion, another blast shot flames about 15 feet from another manhole a few minutes later. The explosions rattled buildings and shook the surrounding area which is the heart of the central business district.

Five excavations, each about 15 feet deep, were made along Sixty-thhd east of Blue Ridge and at the intersection of Cedar street. The excavations followed the path of the sewer line. Mayor Also Assists Officials who headed the operation yesterday and last night were Holloway, Marion P. Beeler, police chief, and George I. Smith, fire chief.

Mayor Murray C. Boogher also assisted last night. Holloway said dry ice would be placed in the manholes to lorce the gasoline fumes trom the line. Represtatives of major oil companies, which have gasoline service stations in the area will make tests to determine where the gasoline is coming from, he said. A 2-block long section of Sixty-third east of Blue Ridge was blocked off.

Police guarded the intersection and the excavations. Holloway said he believed the gasoline infiltrated the sewer line through the lines joints. The fumes then traveled into the manholes and somehow were ignited, he said. The 8-inch line serves only about 12 businesses in the area and officials were certain the gasoline was not being poured into the line Preliminary tests made on the storage tanks of gasoline service stations in the business district, including one on the northeast corner of the intersection, showed there were no leaks, Holloway said.
