Emil Novy, chairman of the board of supervisors, announced at the close of the hearing that it probably will be a week before the board announces its decision on approval of re-soning to permit the facility. Residents of the surrounding area have been wary of the taminate drinking water in the area. Several residents attended the hearing and raised the seepage question.

S. E. SCISSON, of Tulsa, president of the engineering and construction firm which would build the facility, told those at the public hearing there would be little dangfer of contamination.

Carl J. Goetz, Jr. Dohrer the board "school consolidation is a problem by itself and has no relevancy to the zoning question.

Goetz told the board that if the re-zoning application is denied, the sub-dividers must wait until "Iowa City moves out to Scott township'1 in annexation. Bernard Campion, a Scott township resident, told the board that permitting the subdivisions would cause a "100 per" cent increase" in the school levy an unfair hardship on present residents of the area. He cited board action in 1961. in which a re-zoniftg request was denied for a trailer court after heavy objection from Coralville school officials. Also objecting to the subdivisions were Mrs.

In other developments: Shortly before Kennedy spoke, rifle bullets ripped into the home of two Negroes and a Negro church at Anniston where some of the troops were sent. Martin Luther King, head of the desegregation drive, urged discipline, restraint and non-violence of Birmingham Ne groes and insisted a shaky bi-racial agreement to settle the segregation dispute remained in effect.

This agreement provides for gradual desegregation of lunch counters and other public facili ties in downtown stores, im proved job opportunities for Negroes, arrangements for release on bond of all persons arrested during demonstrations, and further bi-racial discussions. Mayor Albert Boutwell took a personal look at the damage and pledged, "Retribution there will be swifts stern and in full measure." Every resource, he said, was bent to apprehend those who planted the bombs. Wallace urged Alabama congressmen to use their influence for withdrawal of the federal troops. Negro leaden. Including King, charged police officers with brutality.

This was denied by officials. The president pledged federal troop use in the wake of nightlong rioting that followed the bombing of the Gaston motel, a headquarters of the integration movement, and the residence of the Rev. A. D. King, a younger brother of King.

Kennedy cut short a weekend at Camp David in the Maryland mountains and returned to Washington -f or consultation before announcing hig decision. WALLACE WIRED the president: "In my judgment, your statement about the possible use of troops has tended to aggravate and inflame the existing situation rather than to alleviate the same, as we have done." He told newsmen that "the Negro mobsters desire federal troops." but omitted that from his telegram to Kennedy. Youths Face Charges in Auto Thefts Five 14-and 15-year-old Iowa City youths have been referred to juvenile authorities here in connection with three automobile thefts in the last- three weeks. Police said all five boys are not implicated in every theft. They said youths, who are friends, have admitted their parts in the thefts.

Three of the youths were apprehended Saturday afternoon by police who accused them of taking a car owned by Wendell Johnson, 508-Melrose court. Police said the bovs took the car from the Seydel auto service, 326 South Van Buren street, Saturday morning and left the car at the old gas plant on Burlington street where they were nabbed. Police said the other thefts were on April 23, when a car belonging to Joseph R. Thomas of Washington was taken from lot at 320 East Burlington street and left in the 900 block at Bowery street, and on April 25. when a car belonging to Frederic Tarr, Jr.t of 2 Bella Vista was taken at Van Buren and Burlington streets and deserted at Court and Johnson streets.

Scisson said If seepage were to occur and it never has in 40 other such facilities already in -use the plant would have to be abandoned. He said there would be only pumps above ground and connection with the storage area would be made through concrete casings sunk into the ground.

The impervious rock formation would be hallowed out and gas stored in it. Concrete is more porous than the particular type of rock in Scott township, so is not used to store the gas because of seepage danger. THE GAS, stored in 110-115 pounds of pressure is in a liquefied state as long as It remains in the cavern. The storage aiea would have a capacity of about 400,000 barrels of gas, he said. The stored gas would be connected to underground pipes, carrying-it-Jn and out.

The storage area would be 470 feet below the surface of the ground. Gas stored in the facility would be used as needed either locally or in trans shipment. Scisson slid. HE SAID the construction project, slated for completion next November if re-zoning is would inject about $800,000 in the area economy hiough the construction payroll and purchase of supplies.
