Consultant eyes
redevelopment
of Flat Branch
ByMarkPawlosky
MisMorian staff writer
Columbia city officials now have solid plans
for the redevelopment of Flat Branch. But the
toughest stage of the whole project - financing it
still lies ahead.
Although no official price tag has been put on
the redevelopment, Donald Zuchelli, the con-sultant
hired by the city to draw up plans,
Friday told the Columbia Missourian the
finished project would cost about $ 30 million.
" But that's just a rough ballpark figure," he
said.
The city was given working plans for
redevelopment Thursday night by Zuchelli and
his associates. Their proposals call for the
construction of a civic center, a 225- roo- m hotel
that would be built near the center, a retail
complex, public bousing for the elderly and
office facilities.
Within the developed area there would be a
system of open spaces that would link the
development along Broadway to the University.
Zuchelli, who has supervised or conducted
more than 580 independent consultation and
management assignments, warned city officials
that development of Flat Branch would not solve
all the city's ills.
" I don't believe ' our move is to help the
downtown merchants. We are not here to save
the downtown merchants' business," he said.
The Missourian squeezed in a two- ho- ur in-terview
with the ever- bus- y Zuchelli while he was
in town Friday. Sitting under the midmorning
sun, Zuchelli provided some insight into
problems the city faces if it decides to develop
Flat Branch. He also discussed his news on the
city's future. Below are excerpts from the in-terview.

Donald Zuchelli, left, explains the new Flat Branch plan at a Thursday meeting jo- B- rt
project of this size that has failed to
materialize?
Zuchelli. We never had a project where we
allowed the city to acquire the land and then let
it become a weed patch. ... I think one has to
understand in a project of this size and
magnitude that there are more failures than
successes. We have to be very careful to make
sure that this is a sucessful undertaking. . . .
M. You said the University is a vital link to the
Flat Branch area. Could the project be com-pleted
without University support?
Z. If you mean by support, financial support or
functional support of activities, yes, it could be,
and it probably will be developed without that. If
you're saying active opposition from the
University because they find the plan in
consistent with University policy . . . that could
cause us great difficulty and I think it would
cause us to pause and reprogram. But so far, the
University has indicated no inconsistencies in
what we are trying anwhat their overall un-derlying
aspirations areV
M. If the University isn't a distinct problem,
what are some of the problems facing the city?
Z. Well, obviously, the cost- benef- it of un-dertaking
the development is the key issue. The
increasing competition for public expenditures
in other equally similar and difficult problems
will force the city to make some tough decisions.
I would say, if anything could affect the
downtown, it is these decisions . . . concerning
capital projects within the city.
M. Such as?
Z. Such as the significant road improvements
that would affect the regional position of
downtown. Such as the possible acquisition of
properties for a regional center and other
capital improvements. . . My view is that Flat
Branch should have an extremely high priority.
But I can only recommend, and not make that
decision.
M. What types and how much funding do you
think the city will be able to get for the
development of Flat Branch?
Z. We are not eligible for either Urban
Development Action Grants or Economic
Development Administration ( funds offered by
the federal government to help cities finance

Investigators comb nibble tor crash clues
From our wire services
Accident investigators Saturday
began trying to determine why an
American Airlines jetliner lost an
engine on takeoff from Chicago's
O'Hare International Airport Friday
and crashed, killing the 271 persons
believed to be on board and two men on
the ground. It was the highest death toll
of any aviation accident in this country.
Six teams of specialists set up by the
National Transportation Safety Board
began combing through the smoldering
wreckage of the DC- 1- 0 in a search for
clues to explain why the plane was
unable to remain airborne despite the
loss of the engine.
" As best as I have been able to
determine, the plane should have been
able to fly with two engines," said
Elwood T. Driver, vice- chairm- an of the
safety board. " But we don't want to
speculate and are making no con-clusions
at this time."
The specialists went to the crash site,
about the size of two football fields, as
police and fire authorities neared
completion of the task of removing the
charred bodies of victims.
There still has been no official count
of the dead although the number is
believed to include 258 passengers, 13
crew members and two men found dead
near a truck at the crash site. Reports
Friday had put the death toll at between
271 and 279.
The authorities said identification of
tile victims would be difficult because
most were burned beyond recognition.
Driver said medical experts would
likely have to rely on dental charts,
bones and personal belongings found
near some bodies.
The inquiry teams were focusing
considerable attention on two( rek) ted
issues: What damage did the loss of the
engine do to the basic structure of the
left wing and its control systems? And,
could tiie engine and the pylon, to which
the engine was still attached, have hit
tiie plane's tail and impaired control of
the airliner?
The plane, American's Flight 191
bound for Los Angeles with Memorial
Day weekend travelers, had just lifted
off Runway 32R ( headed 320 degrees to
the northwest) when the left engine
-- abruptly tore away. The huge craft,
witnesses said, rolled toward the left,
wobbled as though it was losing safe
flying speed, and finally dove into the
abandoned Ravenswood Airport, just
missing a mobile home court.
" One thing well be checking closely,
with the loss of that engine, is whatever
damage might have been done to wing
structure," Driver said.
In a telephone interview from the
command post near the accident scene,
Driver said the two crash- resista- nt
flight recorders recovered from the
wreckage appeared to be " fairly in-tact."
The two crash- resista- nt recorders
were flown to Washington Saturday and
work got under way immediately to
retrieve the data they contained.
One of the devices, the flight data
recorder, should provide a moment- by- mome- nt
recapitulation of the plane's
course, speed, altitude, gravitational
forces, and the operation of vital
systems, including engines. Two of the
General Electric CF-- 6 turbofan engines
that power a DC- 1- 0 are held below
pylons mounted under each wing. The
third engine is mounted on the plane's
vertical tail.
" Damn!" was the last word sent
from the cockpit of the ill- fat- ed
American Airlines DC- lO. Lit- tle was
heard during the final 30 to 45 seconds
when the plane dropped an engine on
takeoff, was briefly airborne and then
crashed in a mushroom cloud of flames,
a spokesman said.
He said there were " only a few
sentences" on the tape all of it
routine except for tiie last word.
The final transmission was " V-- R ...
damn!"
It was the consensus of safety experts
that the loss of the engine and pylon
from the left wing should not have
caused the crew to lose control of the
big jet.
Joplin's downtown era
ended with hotel's ruin
By Ed Dorian
MtsMtuiaB staff writer
JOPLIN Six months have passed
since the damp November morning
when the Connor Hotel suddenly
collapsed, trapping three workmen in
its basement- -
Now that the dust has cleared, all
that remains of the eight- stor- y hotel is
a hole in the ground large enough for a
couple of Olympic- siz- e swimming
pools. Lingering, however, are the
memories of an era that faded with
the hotel's demise.
With its marble stairways and
crystal chandeliers, the Connor for
almost 70 years anchored the nor-thwest,
corner of a thriving centaal
business district In its heyday,
downtown Joplin attracted travelers
and merchants from a four- stat- e
region.
Joplin today retains its status as a
regional retail center for a largei rural
area. But the attraction, city offldab
say, is no longer the downtown. The
attraction is a raaO.
, ,
t
City sales figures suggest that
Northpark Mall, a huge regional
shopping center built here in 1972, has
contributed to the city's growth. But
Joplin's downtown merchants have
another story to tell, as they struggle
to survive in a divided retail market
they once claimed as their own.
With a new regional mall now a vir-tual
certainty in Columbia, the Co-lumbia
Missourian has in recent
weeks looked at other cities that have
faced similar situations: Iowa City,
Jefferson City and Springfield.
Joplin, too, warrants comparison to
Columbia. The city's three hospitals,
state college, and location along an
interstate highway help make Joplin,
like Columbia, a regional center for a
larger rural area. Joplin's region
covers part of four contiguous states
and includes a population of over
990,600, far in eaawB of the city's
population of about ,0.
The story of JopUn carries its own
lessons for Columbians to learn. For

TV showed cockpit view
Chicago ( AP) The passengers
aboard Flight 191 probably watched
their DC- 10-' s sickening dive toward the
ground on closed- circu- it television, an
American Airlines spokesman said
Saturday.
The plane was equipped with a
television camera mounted behind the
captain's shoulder, allowing
passengers to get a cockpit view of the
takeoff in this case a 45- seco- nd death
ride, American spokeswoman Mary
Rose Noel said Saturday.

A series of short films had been

Passengers can see the take- of- f on

Subpoena
delivered
to Carter
By Robert Pear
;; Washington Star
WASHINGTO- N- Paul J. Curran, the
special government counsel probing
President Carter's family peanut
business, has personally delivered a
subpoena to the White House seeking
records wanted for the investigation.
Sources close to the investigation said
Curran recently delivered the subpoena
to Robert J. Lipshutz, counsel to the
president. The subpoena was meant for
the president himself, they said,
because investigators believed the
records to be in the President's
possession.
It could not immediately be learned
what types of documents are requested
m the subpoena. Presumably they
relate to the investigation of loans to
Carter's warehouse.
Curran, reached at his Atlanta office,
refused to comment when asked about
the subpoena.
Attorney General Griffin B. Bell on
March 20 appointed Curran special
counsel to investigate $ 6.8 million in
loans made to Carter's peanut
warehouse by the National Bank of
Georgia. At the time of the loans, in 1975
and 1976, Carter was running for
president, and his friend, Bert Lance,
was president of the bank.
After Carter won the election, Lance
was named budget director, but he was
forced to resign in September 1977 after
an investigation of his banking prac-tices.
Last week. Lance and three business
associates were indicted by a federal
grand jury, which accused them of
having conspired to misapply bank
funds and falsify financial statements
in obtaining $ 20 million in loans from 41
banks during toe last nine years.
Curran is presenting evidence to
another grand jury separately in-vestigating
loans to the warehouse. One
question to be answered, according to
press reports, is whether any of the loan
money was diverted from the
warehouse to Carter's presidential
campaign. Carter and his aides have
steadfastly denied any diversion.
Lipshutz would not confirm the
existence of the subpoena or answer
any questions about it, bet told a
