NEWS BRIEFS From Area Staff and Wire Reports Woman asks for new trial in murder conspiracy case
OLATHE — Sueanne Hobson, who is serving a life sentence for bribing her son and one of her son's friends to kill her 13-year-old stepson, is seeking a new trial based on claims by one of the confessed murders that she is innocent.
Associate District Judge Robert Jones, who presided over the Hobson trial last year, has set a Dec. 21 hearing date on the request for the new trial.
According to affidavits filed in Johnson County District Court, three jail acquaintances of Paul Sorrentino have sworn that Mrs. Hobson's son, James Crumm, planned the murder of Christen Hobson and that the two men acted alone.
Warm Hearts to wait on gas refunds
The Lawrence Warm Hearts program fund drive to help needy people pay their fuel bills this winter is being delayed until it can be coordinated with the start of the mailing of refund cheques from the local gas company.
The fund drive, which was scheduled to begin Thursday, will begin Monday and run through September 16 as state Rep. Jessie Branson, D-Missouri, chairman of the program's originating committee.
As part of the campaign, businesses and residents will be asked to contribute part of the gas refund they should receive next week from KKR.
The company will be returning about $445,000 to customers for overcharges between December 1981 and October 1982. The refunds were originally going to be mailed by Thursday, but were delayed, in part, because the envelopes were being stuffed with requests for Warm Hearts donations.

Nelson, a 1933 KU graduate, said that she preferred the award be given to a senior or graduate student dedicated to teaching. "I have heard a voice student must endure to excel."

KU donors give funds for many reasons
PARKER ESTABLISHED THE scholarship because he wanted to assist students from that area, who must pay
Parker said that he could sympathize with needy students because his loan was worthless.
Some think that endowed scholarships are given to the University of Kansas because the donors are wealthy and they have nothing better to do with their money.

"The main reason I gave is because I felt an obligation to the school for what it did for me," said Paul Parker, who received his undergraduate degree from KU in 1930 with the help of a student loan.
"A voice student must be his own musical instrument," said Nelson, 935 Avalon Road. "They must give up too much. They can't stay out late. They don't play with other players in football games. Because if you're going to use it, you better take care of it."
But Steve Menaugh, coordinator of public relations for the KU Endowment Foundation, said the project is "going to be a big success."
Not all donors are rich, he said, and contributors have various reasons for giving.
BUT BULLARD. A resident of Austin, Texas, has done more than just pay back his $2,000 scholarship to the university; he also offers another advantage of giving endowments.
"Nothing is more satisfying than to help a youngster with his education," he said. "I feel very strongly that you must have a well educated public in a democracy. We should have the best motivation we can offer for our youngsters."
Even though his parents were poor and his father had just a sixth-grade education, Kanehi said that they let him go to college in college in to help curtail expenses.
William Bullard, who was one of the original Summerfield Scholars when he graduated from KU in 1933, said that he also was grateful for his scholarship and met the obligation of repaying the award.

"I wasn't sure I could attend school." Bullard said. "The Summerfield Scholarship was the difference between my life and being comfortably or making it the hard way."
"Quite frankly, I have a good deal of money, and it has worked out that the tax benefits have helped me tremendously," he said.

KANEHL, WHO NOW resides in Bartow, Fla., said that his only stipulation for the scholarship was that the student must have financial need and that the students should try to work their way through school. Kanel also held that the scholarship recipients have a deep respect for the U.S. Constitution.

Two-time candidate for governor dies of cancer
CHIERRYVALE — Frank Shelton Jr., an outspoken conservative who often enlivened Kansas political campaigns with his bull's eye directness, died early yesterday on his Freedom Sentry Ranch. He was 76.
"I like the campus, the atmosphere of Kansas and the political climate. he said."
Mr. Shelton, twice an American Party candidate for governor in Kansas and once the party's nominee for the presidential race in Kansas, died of spinal and thoracic cancer, a cancer associated with Potts Chapel in independence said.
Mr. Shelton, who lived on what he called the Freedom Sentry Ranch near
the small southeast Kansas town of Cherryvale, learned that he had cancer during the 1982 gubernatorial campaign.
THE CHAPEL SPIKESMAN said that services were not yet arranged.
No stranger to controversy, Mr. Shelton in June 1979 made headlines when the Minneapolis branch of the American Party called off his scheduled speech because of comments he had made at a news conference.
Then 72, Mr. Shelton had recommended sterilization of welfare recipients and felons, deportation of government employees, voting rights.
Secretary of State Jack Brier, the state's top election official, said that Mr. Shelton's contribution to Kansas politics could not be measured by votes in the state. Mr. Shelton never garnered a large share of votes in his statewide races.
"I'm not about to have people censor
my thinking or sensor my conclusions after having exercised my right to vote
GOV. JOHN CARLAN, a Democrat,
that represented the "true intrepid
man."
thies to his family and friends.''
Mr. Shelton was born Feb. 2, 1907, in the Independence hospital built by his parents, both of whom were physicians. He became a lawyer and engineer who held numerous jobs, many of them in the state highway department of Ohio but also in American Telephone & Telegraph Co. as an attorney.
"He was never afraid to speak his mind, regardless of how few people he found to agree with him." Carlin said in his book "The Other Side of the Trap." I want to express our deepest sympathy.
MR. SHELTON RAN for governor in the 1978 and 1982 races and in 1980 was the American Party presidential candidate for Kansas.
M. Shelton is survived by wife, Gayleen; two daughters, Kersten Knox Shelton and Gretel Glum Shelton; one grandchild, M. Shelton II and five grandchildren.
