Little Progress Seen In Work Release Probe At Metropolis By BILL BARTLEMAN I Sun-Democrat Staff Writer METROPOLIS, Sept. 7- The grand jury investigation into the operation of the now-defunct Metropolis Work Release Center here will enter its fourth week Monday and a source close to the investigation said little progress is being made.
The source, who declined to be identified, said the Massac grand jury held its first meeting Aug. 17 and has met on only one occasion since then. The investigation involves a July 8 fire that damaged the center's main office building where financial records were kept. The financial records were needed in a fraud investigation into alleged misappropriation of money. The work release center, which opened in July, 1972 and closed Saturday, was used to house felons who were within months of their parole board hearings.
Inmates at the center were employed by the state parks department and paid $2 an hour. The money the felons earned was turned over to the director of the center who allocated a portion of it to savings and returned the rest to the inmate, according to a official. A spokesman for the Department of Corrections earlier said the "misappropriation" involved the writing of checks by members of the center's staff and signing other peoples' names to them. A short time after the fire the director of the center, Don Thomas, and the financial officer of the center, Tom Thomas, were suspended. On Aug.
3, State Corrections Director Allyn Sielaff announced that the center would be closed School Tax Plan Due 3rd Vote In County By PRESTON KENNEDY Sun-Democrat Executive Editor McCracken County voters again will make a decision on whether to continue a special! school building tax which has been in effect since 1953. The informal decision was made Thursday night at a meeting attended by school system officials and 25 residents. The McCracken school board, at some early date, will take formal action to place the question on the November ballot. It will call for a "yes" or "no" vote on whether the 13.6-cent levy will be continued for 13 years. The present tax expires in 1975.
A two-hour discussion concluded with a motion from the audience requesting the school board to place the question on the ballot. All 25 in the audience supported the motion. Thursday night's session saw expressions of unity between board members, newly-named Supt. Bill Brown, and persons in the audience, some of whom said they opposed tax extension proposals twice last year but now are in favor of it. Frequently mentioned was Dr.
David Stewart, former superintendent, whose contract expired on June 30. Reports were made that the tax plans failed in 1972 because many people cast votes according to the regard they held for Stewart. At one point, was said that many residents it Western McCracken referred to the 1972 proposals as "David Stewart's tax." Stewart as accepted a position at Southern Mississippi University. Without exception, Supt. Brown and board members Carl Watkins, Tony Dallas, Leonard El- rod, Fred Cruse and Harry Coovert said relations between board members and the superintendent have improved.
Brown, some board members and various persons in the audience said school staff members (teachers, bus drivers and other employes) have a closer relationship and harmony with the school system's central office than at an earlier time. It was agreed that the superintendent, members and leaders of the public supporting the proposal would share equally in a vigorous campaign. Brown's opening remarks included the comment that the tax extension matter "has to be approached now" because there will be a $1.9 million school construction debt remaining in 1975. Various school buildings around McCracken were identified as having been constructed with funds from the present special tax. Payments for the 13 years beyond 1975 will average $191,000 per year, Brown said.
If McCracken voters reject the tax extension plan, then the school system will have to begin a study soon to determine what to eliminate in the way of services or programs in order for funds Ito be available to meet bond payments, Brown said. He listed no specific changes at the Thursday night meeting. "I don't want to deal in threats but we must start a program for two years from now if the tax extension proposal is not passed," Brown said. John Robinson, retired principal of Lone Oak High School and now a member of the Kentucky Board of Education, said all on one side now and that's a great help." He outlined previous building programs under past school administrations and said McCracken residents are proud of their newer school buildings "but we still owe for them." Robinson said it is a business fact that bonding companies will collect what is due them through 1988 and, if the tax extension is Rate Hike On Postage Set Sunday Postal rate increases for some second, third and fourth class mail postponed earlier because of a price freeze will take effect at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, the U.S.
Postal Service said Friday. Regular first-class and airmail postage rates are not affected by this action. First-class rates will remain at 8 cents and airmail at 11 cents. The types of mail affected are second-class and some controlledcirculation publications, some third-class nonprofit bulk material, and some special fourthclass material (mainly books and records). The rate schedule, adopted in 1972, is based on a recommended decision of the independent Postal Rate Commission which was approved by the Governors of the Postal Service.
This schedule provides that rates then authorized be deferred in order to become effective in yearly steps lover a five or a 10-year period. Some examples of rate changes under the second incremental increase are: Newspapers: The increased rates vary. A typical second-class weekly publication mailed for delivery within the same county will go from six-tenths of one cent per piece to seven-tenths of one cent. A typical publication of a nonprofit organization, mailed for delivery outside the county, will go from three-fourths of a cent per piece to tenths of a nine cent. A typical commercial secondclass publication, weighing about ounces, will go from 2.8c per piece to 3.4c.
Nonprofit organization thirdclass bulk rate material consisting of booklets weighing more than 3 ounces will increase by 1c from 8c to 9c per pound. Thus, an 8-ounce "nonprofit" publication which now costs 4 cents to mail will be raised to Other third-class nonprofit rates are unchanged. Special fourth-class material (books, records, etc.) will go from 14c to 16c for the first pound with each additional pound increasing from 7c to 8c. Fourth-class library material remains at 6c for the first pound, but each additional pound will increase from 2c to 3c. Grocers (Continued From Page One) that shortages of certain foods might be experienced in the fall because of strong demands for food, a dwindling food supply and the government's price freezes on food.
The report contained figures compiled in June by Larry D. Jones, an assistant professor in the agricultural economics department at UK. Jones said today in a telephone interview from Lexington that most of his figures still hold true. The United States Department of Agriculture in the spring forecast increases in pork and poultry production, but the increase did not substantially materialize, Jones said, adding that he felt the products would not be in plentiful supply this fall, either. Jones said the oils market, affecting the production of butter, margarine and shortening, had continued to support his earlier forecase that these products might be in short supply.
However, Davis, saying that "there have been shortages of one thing or another all summer," did not forsee a serious shortage of such products nor a drastic increase in their prices. Another food source that Jones feels will be pinched in supply is "selected fish products," including salmon and sardines especially. Mrs. Hosick, 86, Marion, Dies; Services Sunday MARION, Sept. Mrs.

He said there were 29 inmates in the center at the time and seven were transferred to a new center in Chicago and the rest were "paroled or transferred elsewhere." He declined to comment on how many were paroled. The spokesman also said the investigation into the financial matters have been turned over to the grand jury. Other matters believed to be discussed during the investigation are conflicting reports as to the cause of the fire and the amount of damage, and the possibility of indicting several of the center's employes as well as former inmates. State and local officials investigated the cause of the fire, but the results of that investigation, have never been made public. Metropolis Fire Chief Bill Sumner earlier reported the Metropolis Fire Department was called to the office building two times on the night it was damaged.
The chief said the first call was answered at approximately 1:30 a.m. and a second at approximately 2:15 a.m. The first fire was in the rear of the building and the second in the front, according to the chief. On July 17 he said "the possibility of arson is being investigated." The results of that investigation apparently have been turned over to the grand jury. As to the amount of damage to the building, Massac County Sheriff Oscar Mizell said Aug.
3 the building was approximately 30 per cent destroyed because 7 "trees just a few feet away were not even scorched or withered." A state corrections official, however, said the building was approximately 80 per cent deThe building was razed the day after the fire. Sheriff Mizell said he knows a lot about the center that has not been made public and said he might have a statement to make after the grand jury investigation is completed. that time, I have nothing to say," Mizell commented. The grand jury "could possibly" meet again Saturday morning, according to State's Attorney Robert Neely. He added that he has no idea how long the investigation will last.

By R. REGORY NOKES Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) Many gasoline retailers from coast to coast will' be forced to lower their gasoline prices starting Saturday when the government's new gasoline price regulations go into effect. Not all stations will need to charge less, however, and some may even charge more. The decreases will be from one to three cents a gallon, to the approximate price that prevailed last January. The station operators' last hope for staving off the new price ceilings went glimmering Friday when Supreme Court Justice William H.
Rehnquist denied a request he change a lower court order upholding the Phase 4 directive. All of the approximately 000 service stations must have red, white and blue stickers displayed on each gasoline pump price listing the maximum they may charge and the octane rating of the gasoline. The Internal Revenue Service will enforce the ceilings, and motorists who think they are being cheated should take their complaints to their local IRS offices. While lower prices will be welcome to the motorist, many gasoline retailers claim they are being hit with an unfair squeeze. Jerry S.
Cohen, attorney for the National Congress of Petroleum retailers, which represents about 165,000 service sta- Beef Price (Continued From Page One) early was to give businesses the benefit of being able to start the new controls at the beginning of the week. The new food controls will allow companies to pass through all of their justified higher costs in prices to the consumer, instead of just the higher agricultural costs, as provided by the current regulations. Asked what impact the new regulations would have on food prices, Dunlop said, "We expect there may be a bulge, but I think it's fair to say it will be much smaller" than occurred after the price freeze was lifted on July 18. The wholesale price index for August showed that prices of farm products increased 23.1 per cent after the freeze was lifted, nearly double the previous us record monthly increase this century. Dunlop also said it was likely there would be higher beef prices but said he expected they would be lower than the increases that occurred previously for pork and poultry.
He released figures which showed that wholesale prices of a number of farm products, including soybeans, corn, hogs and chickens, have dropped sharply since their peak levels in mid-August. Asked if this meant the worst of the price increases were lover, Dunlop said, "I'd like to think so." The price increases anI nounced by tire, paper, soap and detergent companies will be suspended until after the council has held hearings on the increases.

Two major oil companies, Exxon and Atlantic Richfield, increased the wholesale price of gasoline this week by one cent per gallon, an increase the retailer must pay, but which Phase 4 regulations prohibit him from passing along to customers. However, Atlantic Richfield Co. has agreed to suspend its increase, Cost of Living Council sources said Friday. The sources also disclosed the council has asked Exxon to justify its increase. A gasoline retailer must base his selling price on his wholesale cost as of Aug.
1, plus his markup the amount he charges above the wholesale price as of Jan. 10. He is guaranteed a minimum markup of seven cents per gallon at the start, but can charge a higher markup if he had a higher markup Jan. 10.

The terrorists released four crew members Friday. Earlier Friday, the gunmen (flew out over neighboring Saudi Arabia and threatened by radio to throw their six Saudi hostages out of the plane by one over the Saudi capital: of Riyadh. The renegade guerrillas also threatened to blow up the plane in midair if Jordan did not release imprisoned Al Fatah leader Abu Daoud. The threats didn't work and the gunmen returned to Kuwait three hours later to resume bargaining. There they issued a new ultimatum to blow up the plane and the hostages at the Kuwait airport if Daoud was not released by Saturday morning.
TVA Power (Continued From Page One) reinvestment in its power system. But it added that higher coal costs for its steam plants, higher intrest rates and expenses for antipollution control indicate it may have to raise its electric rates. The agency said its fuel and related costs are expected to increase by $125 million this vear, to $392 million. Additionally, debt service costs are estimated at $183 million, an increase of $44 million. Other factors include boosts in interest payments to the U.S.
Treasury and hikes in payments in lieu of taxes to state and local governments. TVA has embarked in a $300 million environmental protection program to meet new pollution control regulations. This, the agency said, is "a necessary part of the cost increase."

President Nixon's price freeze, announced June. 13, endled with the start of the new price controls. Reidland Woman Is Accosted approved, the school system "will have to leave something out" in order to have funds for bond payments.
"All we are asking for is what we have had," she said. Robinson listed two reasons why the proposal failed in 1972. For one, he thought too many figures were distributed "and you can do what you want to with figures." For another, Robinson said many people believe that "nothing will happen to the schools; well, $191,000 will happen." The matter of last year's votes arose again and again. John Denton of Lone Oak said some people had said they would vote for a tax extension only after Dr. Stewart left the school system.
He wondered aloud if they now will give support. His comment brought on the expressions of unity and board member Cruse said at one point that board members "have thrashed out our differences." Elrod said that some voters last year voted "against what they thought was going on not against the tax." He did not elaborate. A man, who did not identify himself, said he thought "people voted against the an apparent reference to Dr. Stewart. Another man said he believed about half of the county's teachers also were opposed last year, on the same ground.
Elrod said he views the 1972 tax extension election results as "voters telling us we ought to change our house--and I think we have I think we (board) now have the support of the people." Following a series of comments about Dr. Stewart and Brown, his successor, Brown said he regretted that any "personality" matter had been mentioned, but "I hope I'm not a 'personality" and that we have no personality problem." Brown said he will stick to "priority items" and not go from, place to place in McCracken making "promises" only as a means of winning tax extension votes. A two-part tax extension suffered defeat last May -one part would have extended present levy, and the other would have allowed for additional construction and bond payments for only a few years. Only the extension matter was on the November ballot and it was defeated by about 700 votes. The 13.6-cent levy, actually a 13.6-cent tax on each.
$100 of assessed valuation, calculated to produce about $3.3 million. No "priorities" in construction were discussed Thursday night. The 13.6-cent levy was termed as necessary in light of revenue lost through the Homestead Exemption Act of 1972 that gives property tax breaks to persons over 65 years of age. The rate formerly had been 13 cents. Brief discussion was given the legal wording of tax questions as they appear on the ballot.
It was explained that state law requires such wording, although the 13.6-cent levy is the one to be used if voters approve the question. Mrs. Alexander Rites Conducted MURRAY, Sept. 7-Funeral rites for Mrs. Pearl Alexander, 89, Otter Lake, formerly of Murray, were held at 2:30 p.m.
