74th Year - No. 94 Good Morning! It's Tuesday, January 5. 1982 2 Sections 14 Pages 25 Cents Snow slows city but can't stop it; more in forecast ByRobert Rogers and Holly Teeter Missourian staff writers The good news is that it could have been worse. Columbia got 4 inches ( 10 centimeters) of snow Sunday night and early Monday morning, but other parts of the state were hit much more severely. Kansas City reported 11 inches ( 27.5 centimeters) and Kirksville was hit with 8 inch--. es ( 20 centimeters). The bad news is that more snow is expected Wednesday and possibly " Thursday . The snow and ice made driving hazardous, but school officials decided to resume classes as scheduled Monday after the holiday break. Schools were closed in ' Jefferson City after a 2- in- ch ( 5- centime- ter) snowfall, and rural Boone County schools were closed. " If we feel that we can safely transport chil-dren to school, we will," said Jim Ritter, assist-ant superintendent of Columbia schools. He said he did not understand why other area schools were closed and did not believe opening Colum-bia schools was a mistake. ' It was a difficult decision," he said. A few school buses ran 35 to 45 minutes late, but Pat Vanlandingham, manager of Rustman Bus Co., which operates city school buses on contract, called it a " pretty good morning." Three of the company's buses slid into ditches during morning runs, but there were no injuries. No incidents were reported Monday afternoon, but there were some delays because of driving conditions. Ms. Vanlandingham said problems were caused not only by bad road conditions, but also by slow- movin- g traffic. She added, however, that ' ihe city did a really super job cleaning off , the roads." City street crews spread more than a ton of calcium and 35 loads of cinders between 8 p. m. Sunday and 8 ajn. Monday. Ozark Air Lines canceled several flights to and from Columbia Sunday night and Monday ( See SNOWFALLPage 8A) Gar" crash -- . kills student Dawn Hene Soman, 24, of 801 N.

Ms. Soman, a graduate student at the University, apparently lost con-trol of her westbound Mazda GLC on Stadium Boulevard near College Park Drive and collided with an eastboupd Oldsmobile driven by Ms. Jamison, a third- ye- ar medical stu-dent at the University. The accident occurred at about 4 p. m. Both drivers were taken by ambu-lance to University Hospital, where Ms. Soman died at 8: 20 pjn. The hospital would release no informal tion on Ms. Jamison's condition. Felice said no summons was is-sued.

Meanwhile, in Brussels, Polish leader Geri. . Wojciech JangelsW told the ambassadors of 10 European nations be is considering de-porting to the West the principal leaders of Solidarity, now in jail, and releasing other prisoners only on condition they sign a pledge to abstain from all further public ac-tivity. Jaruzelski also pledged that Poland will meet its debts to Western banks, but strongly rebuffed the efforts of the West to encourage an end to military rule. ' Warsaw radio reported factories had re-turned to normal and work was resuming at shipyards in Gdansk and Szczecin, Baltic Coast ports where influence of the suspended Solidarity trade union was especially strong. The government- ru- n radio station reported telephone and Telex communications in the 10 rural provinces " in which the state of safety and public order, are. improving" would be restored today. Martial law contin-ues in the country's 39 other provinces, in-- ' eluding the capital Travelers arriving in Vienna from Poland said opposition to martial law remains strong; but little hope remains that the situa-tion will change. They said food shortages have become very serious. Jaruzelski's message to the ambassadors in Brussels coincided with a special meeting -- there of the Council of the European Commu-nity to consider the Polish situation. The ant-- , bassadors reported to the council, attended" by the community's foreign ministers, that Jaruzelski had told them he would accept po-litical counsel only from other members of the Socialist bloc. He told them, they report-ed, he had no intention of submitting to the kind of pressure. the United States was at-tempting to organize against him. WhOe neither joining nor endorsing the American sanctions, the council promised to consult with the United States on steps to be taken, and to avoid any action that would di-lute the measures pursued by the' United States. The ambassadors' message, which was disclosed privately and in summary form by council officials, was not made public. It cast a somber note, nevertheless, over the final press conference given Monday evening by the council's president, Leo Tindemans, who is Belgium's foreign minister. Tindemans called it " in a sense, tragic." He refused to disclose its contents, however, apparently because it bad arrived too late to be fully considered by the council, whose ses-sion ended in midafternoon. The ministers, whose countries have dif-fered among themselves and with the United States over the tone and actions to be adopted toward Poland and the Soviet Union, managed a fair degree of consensus Mon-day. The final communique spoke in harsher terms than previously of the Polish devel-- - opments; it was relatively vague about spe-cific actions to be token. " The Ten utterly disapprove of the devel-opment of the situation," the statement be-gan. In deference to West Germany, which has argued for caution, the word " condemn" favored by France and Italy was avoided. However, the statement went on to note that despite Polish declarations prom-ising to restore liberties, " what has taken place has not been dialogue but repression bringing with it violations of the most el-ementary human and citizens' rights." There was no support for following the American lead in imposing sanctions on the Soviet Union. However, the European situa-tion has evolved on the question. Monday's statement linked for the first time the devel-opments in Poland with " the serious exter-nal pressure and the campaign directed by the USSR and other eastern European coun-tries against the efforts for renewal." According to officials in Brussels, any eco-nomic steps would be more likely to consist of cutting imports from the Soviet Union than cutting exports to it. One possible area would be the importation of machinery. Town bully's ghost haunts citizens' souls ByLeoaDndel . UPlHttoulrcporter "" SFODMORE, Mo. ( UK) - Few residents moornedjtbe death of Ken . .

The City Council didn't quite sing that song Monday night, but it did agree to listen to it one more time before deciding whether to buy the Columbia Baptist Temple for use as a community center. The city manager's office had rec-ommended defeat of the proposal, and the council seemed likely to fol-low the advice until Fourth Ward Councilman Pat Barnes moved to put off the decision for five working days to allow for further study of the idea. The council voted 4-- 2 to delay its deefsion until a special meeting Jan. 11. Mayor John Westlund abstained because his real estate company might be involved in a transaction involving the church. When the doors closed on the church at West Broadway and An-derson Avenue last month, the city staff came up with the idea of pur-chasing the two buildings. The idea, enhanced by the church's bargain price of $ 149,500, excited the council enough at its Dec. 21 meeting to con-sider it. But city officials, while lured by the church's potential as a theater and senior citizens center, did not want to rush into a scheme so full of unknown consequences for the city's finances and the church's neighbor-hood. " The offer came quite quickly; the city moved slowly," said Fifth Ward Councilman Dick Walls of the haste that has blurred the debate over the purchase. Neighborhood and real estate rep-resentatives Monday advised the council to let the church fall into pri-vate hands. But Barnes asked the council to wait until the city can " make a more in- dep- th study of bow the Columbia Baptist Temple might serve the needs of the community." Walls did not " see how five more days is going to move this thing fur-ther along," and no one else seemed sure that it would. But the others, ex-cept for Smith, agreed with Barnes " to give the opportunity one more chance." So now community groups, which had expected the motion to fail, will have a formal chance to present their enthusiastic designs to city offi-cials. In other business, the council re-- ( See CITY, Page 7A, Allen resigns; Clark to take adviser post WASHINGTON ( UPI) - Richard Allen, beset by questions about bis ethics, resigned as White House na-tional security adviser Monday and President Reagan promptly named Deputy Secretary of State William P. Clark to the post The president accepted Allen's resignation " with deeg regret," aid deputy press secretary Larry Spealt- e- s. It was also announced Allen will stay on the government payroll as a consultant to Reagan. Speakes disclosed that a White House review of Allen's conduct in office had " revealed no wrongdoing on Mr. Allen's part." Nevertheless, Allen tendered his resignation fol-lowing a private meeting with the president io the Oval Office Monday afternoon. Allen and the president " agreed that in view of the controversy of re-cent weeks, it would be better for all concerned to seek a change in re-sponsibilities," Speakes said. On several occasions recently, Al-len has said he did nothing wrong and had no intention of resigning. Allen's departure prompted by a controversy that pulled first lady Nancy Reagan into the spotlight opened the door for Reagan to name Clark, a close personal friend, to fill a national security post Allen, 44, will stay on the govern-ment payroll on a per diem basis as Reagan's consultant for an in definite period in the organization of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board, a panel of private citizens Reagan recently recruited to assess the work of America's spy agencies. Allen was smiling when he arrived in the early afternoon at the White House to confer with presidential connMiT -- Sdwin Miecsc tscorc- - see-ing the president But Allen had de-parted by the time the announce-ment was made.

Clark, 50, served as chief of staff during Reagan's second term as governor of California. His arrival at the White House signals an-- upgrad-ing of the security adviser's post Clark will assume a role consider-ably broader than Allen's.
