KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The City Council is considering a proposal sponsored by Mayor Richard Berkley and three councilmen to establish a national jazz ball of fame at Kansas City's 18th and Vine Historic District.
DISCUSSION Kansas City's jazz heritage was born and flourished in the district in the 1930s and 1940s. Speaking in support of the proposal, Berkley noted that more than 100,000 people attended a recent Kansas City jazz festival, which he said demonstrated the renewed interest of the city in jazz
A jazz hall of fame would be patterned after major league football and baseball halls of fame, and would help attract tourists to the city, Berkley said.

Hoch to work in public relations firm Top political adviser for Carlin resigns
By Staff and Wire Reports
TOPEKA — Bill Hoch, top political adviser and chief spokesman for Gov. John Carlin since Carlin took office in 1978, yesterday announced his resignation.
Hoch said he would move to Kansas City. Mo., to become vice president of Moore, Hoch and Associates, a new public relations firm.
his wife, Ellen Nesselrode-Hoch, Carlin's scheduling secretary since he became governor, also announced her resignation effective Nov. 18. Mrs. Hoch had been on his staff since 2007, and was speaker of the House of Representatives.
Hoch said last year after Carlin was re-elected that he wanted to begin looking for a job. However, he agreed with Hoch chief staff and he agreed to stay for a year.
MRS. HOCH HAD worked with Carlin longer than anyone else on his staff.
"I'm on the timetable that I roughly laid out for myself a year ago," he said. "I had never intended to spend five years in state government.
"I intended to stay on for about a year. Well, the year is almost up now. In politics, two weeks can be an eternity and a year can be light years."
"Surely, I miss being involved in matters. But I look forward to my new
Hoch said that he had no regrets about leaving the governor's office.
job. And I'm delighted that I had to opportunity to serve the governor," he said.
He also disputed reports that he was losing the governor's ear to Mrs. Carlin and to Carlin's executive assistant, Michele Stolzman, who commented as a possible successor to Hoch.
HOCH DENIED THAT pressure from a recent controversy surrounding first lady Karen Carlin and money she bought to produce a film about Kampas, prompted Ms.
"That's simply not true." Hoch said. Hoch and Mike Swenson, who succeeded Hoch as Carlin's press secretary, said yesterday that the governor had not decided who would replace Hoch.
"Bill and the governor decided when Bill became chief of staff that they would sit down after a year or so and Bill would reconsider his options." The governor's time has come to pursue other interests, and we wish him the best of luck."
UNTIL NOVEMBER 1982, Hoch was Carlin's press secretary and worked daily with the press. But his influence in molding Carlin's political image and philosophies was widely recognized and acknowledged by the governor.
"Bill has provided invaluable leadership during these last five years," Carlin said. "His unique ability to take on leadership and manage through successfully has

garnered him the respect of not only those with whom he has worked, but of people throughout the state of Kansas.
During times of controversy — such as Carlin's divorce from Ramona Hawkinson Carlin in 1980 and the death of his wife, Katherine by a campaign worker from Carlin's
Hoch referred to himself as "reasonably important" in Carlin's administration.
war chest last summer — Hoch took pressure off the governor by handling barrages of questions.
HOCH ACKNOWLEDGED that he was leaving Carlin's administration during a troubled time that has been caused primarily by the unflattering publicity given to Mrs. Carlin's involvement in a series of projects.
However, Hoch said, he is not abandoning the governor.
"I don't believe the ship is sinking," he said. "And I don't believe I am bumping off it, anyway."
"I'm looking forward to going to Kansas City and working at this," Hoch said. "It's going to be different. This is something that I've always wanted to do."
The advertising public relations firm too is joining will work mainly with the media.
Hoeh, a native of Emporia, worked for three months in 1978 as policy aid for Bill Roy's unsuccessful Senate campaign before joining Carl's staff. his son was born to 2 or 3 years as a legislative assistant to former Sen James Pearson, R-Kan.

Before joining Pearson's staff, Hoch attended KU from 1974 to 1976 as a graduate student in the William Allen White School of Journalism. He received a bachelor's degree from Emporia State University in 1974.
