Lawrence Roundup
Sizeler plans given OK
The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to Mayor David Longhour last week supporting the continuation of the agreement with Reed Beah, Kerner, La., to procure both the town and downtown downslope development.
The City Commission last week directed the city staff to draw-up agreement to allow Sizeler to start operations and install for the proposed department store.
In the letter, Chamber of Commerce President Joel Jacobs said that the Chamber had many questions about the development but that they could only be answered by proceeding with the project.
Jacobs said the Chamber wanted to know:
- Whether Lawrence would receive a federal grant for the project and how large the grant would be.
- How much the project would cost the general taxpayers.
- *Whether the downtown merchants and property owners favored creating a special benefit district to pay for part of the project.
- Who the major department stores in the project would be.
KU officer free of blame
The Kansas Supreme Court rour-
last week that Victor Shore, a KU
police officer, was not responsible
for the deaths of two Lawrence
residents killed in a high-speed car
chase in 1979.
Kenneth E. McCue III and Margie Thornton were both killed Nov. 18, 1979 when their car was struck by a Jeep driven by KU student Don Bender during a high-speed chase. Bender is being pursued by KU police.
The ruling upheld an earlier decision of the Douglas County District Court.
Cabs to add $3 flat rate
Ward A. Thompson, owner of Yellow Cab Cob, of Lawrence, said Monday that Yellow Cab couldw be charged at $3 flat rate for rides on lily up.
Thompson, who opposes the new rate, said that 80 percent of his customers would be paying more for a ride than they do now.
Thompson said he was changing the rate system because his competitor, Jayhawk Dial-A-Ride, had taken 25 percent of his business since they started using the $3 flat rate last winter.
Thompson said he wanted the City Commission to consider regulating the fee structures for the cab companies.
Donors finance Polish girl's surgery
NEW YORK — A 9-year-old Polish girl yesterday used her only words of English to thank supporters who raised funds for the cause she needs to remove a deadly brain tumor.

"Thank you everybody," said Iwona Badurece, waving two tiny American and Polish flags and smiling shyly at a knot of reporters and photographers.

THE YOUNGSTER APPEARED at a news conference held at New York University Medical Center, where she
Two previous operations that removed 70 percent of a grapefruit-sized tumor left Iwena blind in the left eye and deaf in the left ear.
An international fund-raising drive, led by Edward Ostrowski, president of the city Uniformed Sanitization Association, raised $38,965 to pay Iwona's back hospital bills and the cost of the final operation.
OSTROWSKI SAID HE launched a fund-raising campaign on June 15 after hearing of the child's plight. He said the
contributions, mostly "nickels and dimes," had poured in from around the world.
Vallow Benjamin, a physician, said he planned to remove what remained of a benign tumor that would have cut off the brain's blood supply and have been removed.
This sailboat glided across the waters of Clinton Lake last weekend. Sailing was just one way to enjoy the recent sunny weather.
Benjamin, who volunteered his services, said he expected the operation would take 12 hours.
Despite the family's debt of $21,000 in outstanding bills, Benjamin said the hospital never refused to operate on the child.
