Funeral service Fri. PM Dworak Mortuary Chapel. Interment Cash Report Is Moss Plan Republican congressional candidate Joe B. Moss Thursday chided Congress for spending too much on itself and said if elected he would give taxpayers reports at least every six months on income and spending by the 2nd District office. During a press conference at the Omaha Press Club, Moss told of his 18 years of business experience as a Western Electric engineer and gave his positions on other issues.

After sounding an antispending campaign theme, Moss said he favors channelization of the Papio instead of dams, opposes general revenue-sharing for local governments and thinks forced school busing is "an insult to the black race." He said he personally opposes abortion on demand, but declined to take a public stand yet on the issue. Moss said Congress has lavished too much on its members, spending 275 per cent more last year than five years ago. Increases have come from expansion of allowances for staff and office expenses, he said. Moss said he plans to spend about $15,000 in his primary campaign. He is one of four candidates seeking the Republican nomination.

Others are County Commissioner P. J. Morgan, City Councilman Monte Taylor and former television newsman Lee Terry. In answer to a question, Moss said he thinks dams along the Papio would not be effective with the amount of rain that caused the disastrous 1964 flooding. Since then there have been more homes built and streets paved, which increases the storm runoff, he said.

On revenue-sharing, Moss said he thinks the federal government should stop the program and let each state collect its own taxes. Busing is not necessary to accomplish equal quality education, Moss said. He said he would support a constitutional amendment prohibiting busing. 4 Questioned In Robbery Two Omaha men and two women Thursday were being questioned in connection with the early morning robbery of five Lincoln men near Twentysecond and Farnam Streets. The Lincolnites told police they got lost about 1 a.m.

and stopped an auto to ask for directions to the Interstate. Two men and two women in the auto told the Lincoln men to drive into a parking lot. There, the Lincolnites were robbed at gunpoint of nearly $700. Police identified the victims as Andrew Y. Lee, 24, Stephen Chiu, 24, San Lumg Van, 27, James Mak, 28, and Louis Lu, 25.

All said they are employes of a Lincoln restaurant. About 5 a.m., police arrested the four suspects at Sixteenth and Pratt Streets. Work Resumes At Bluffs Project Council Bluffs. Work resumed on the nearly completed car urban renewal parking garage Thursday morning after a one-day strike by the Cement Finishers Union Local 538. Carl Andersen, vice president of Charles Vrana Sons Construction Co.

of Omaha, the garage builders, said the union pickets appeared Wednesday morning and were not removed until Wednesday night, a after the disagreement was resolved. Andersen said his company disagreed with a worker who quit and this brought the pickets. Union officials were not available for comment. Opera Will Ask About Expanding The Omaha Opera Company will survey opera goers to find out whether Omahans would support an expanded opera season. An opera spokesman said persons attending performances of "Manon" tonight and Saturday at the Orpheum will be asked to fill out written surveys.

The spokesman said the information will be used to modify the ticket sales campaign in an attempt to expand the local audience. The company is considering adding a fourth opera in coming seasons. C.U. Math Day To Be Saturday About 700 students from 90 high schools are expected to attend the 14th annual mathematics field day at Creighton University Saturday, according to a Creighton spokesman. Students from Nebraska, lowa, Kansas and South Dakota will compete in mathematical contests starting at 9 a.m.

Associate Supt. Joe E. Hanna said members of the various task forces involved overwhelmingly thought it would be wise to postpone talks until a final integration a plan is approved. The task forces were one of the offshoots of self-study and evaluation projects undertaken at all grade levels by the district several years ago.

Hanna said 1 many of the recommendations made by those study groups were carried out, but some of the larger questions were to be considered by the task forces. Those questions included the basic organizational structure of the district, ranging from the school calendar to such things as whether the district should expand the middle school concept. The task forces also would have discussed the instructional program of the district and related issues of transportation and food service, Hanna said. Hanna said the task forces had planned to give their recommendations this spring. A similar task force effort was scuttled a few years ago when the racial discrimination suit was filed against the district.

Mary Ann Hayes spoke in favor of a proposed ordinance that would change regulation of their placement. The proposal would provide for issuance of a permit but would not require a certain zoning classification for halfway houses and group care facilities, such as day care centers. Presently the location is controlled through zoning, except for facilities operated by religious or government agencies. The board took no action on the proposal. One supporter of the change, Cathy Buckley of 4912 California Street, said residents of her neighborhood think halfway houses should be dispersed throughout the city.

tions looking for potential houses to convert would turn to There also should be periodic checks of the homes to see that they are being operated properly, Mrs. Buckley said. An opponent, John Goodsell, 1327 South Thirty-fifth Street, said the proposal "is a flagrant case of legislative overkill." It would be a mistake to change the present requirement for eighth or ninth residential zoning for the homes, said Goodsell, founder of the Field Club Home Owners League. Converting a home into: a halfway house, with all the sanitary and safety requirements, is expensive, he said. Organizaolder neighborhoods, where there are spacious homes that are not as costly as new homes, he said.

Goodsell, Douglas County public affairs director, said he was not speaking as a county employe. this 6 Omaha Man Found Guilty Of Misdemeanor Homicide Total 2.55. 58 hour A Douglas County District Court jury Wednesday found Michael John Rotella guilty of misdemeanor vehicle homicide in connection with a fatal accident which killed 16- year-old Robin Kush last October. After accepting the jury's guilty verdict, Judge John Grant deferred sentencing Rotella, 22, of 4921 East Ridge Drive, pending an investigation by the adult probation office. Rotella's car collided nearly head-on with one driven by Kush near 108th Street and Fowler Avenue last Oct.

3. Kush, of 10297 Fowler Avenue, died shortly after the collision and six of his friends who were riding with him suffered injuries of varying degrees. Rotella was treated at a local hospital and released. Deputy County Atty. Richard Epstein told the jury in his final argument that the question of Rotella's innocence hinged on whether the accident occurred in the north- or southbound lane of 108th Street.

Epstein contended that Rotella, traveling south, had swerved into the northbound lane to avoid hitting another auto and struck the Kush vehicle. Because Rotella crossed the center line in a no-passing zone, Epstein said, he was operating his car unlawfully therefore should be found guilty. Rotella testified, however, that his car never left the southbound lane, and his attorney, William Dunn, told the jury that passengers in the Kush car who testified otherwise were LEO A.

Meier "not completely disinterested Several witnesses gave different accounts of which car they saw cross the center line prior to the crash, but Epstein said physical evidence at the scene indicated overwhelmingly that it was Rotella's.
