Dwyer, Chicago, to make a study on the type and size of convention hall Cincinnati should build in its downtown area. The convention management firm also will advise the city what location is best for the convention hall after three to four months of study costing $39,500.

Suicide Is Seen In Man's Death Woodford Kittrell, 73, 2105 Rice was found dead Friday in the kitchen of hhis his home with a gunshot wound.

He had a .22 caliber rifle braced between his legs, the office of the Hamilton County coroner reported. Cincinnati police told the coroner the death was apparently a suicide. Three notes were found, one pinned to the door of Mr. Kittrell's sister, Miss Elva Kittrell, who lived across a court in the same building, one laid in a dish and a third scrawled and piece of cardboard placed on the kitchen table. INQUIRY Bogged In Dayton Kirschner Murder Probe Balked One Arrest Called A Mistake INQUIRY A two-pronged investigation into the crowbar-slaying of John Kirschner, Dayton, bogged down Friday in a case of mistaken identity in which a "suspect" was released.

"We've questioned about five youths so far and don't know anymore now than when we started," Police Chief John Moran said. Campbell County police officials also said they had no leads to two unnamed youths reported with James Edward Broyles, 18, Dayton, when the burglary slaying occurred. Broyles is charged with murder. Willis Maloney, 19, Cincinnati, picked up as a suspect Wednesday, was released the next day. Authorities said he was not the youth they were searching for.

William J. Wise, commonwealth attorney, said Maloney was a relative of one of the suspects and was picked up by mistake. However, he was termed a material witness after questioning by county police. "There was no reason to hold him," Mr. Wise said.

He said spots on the youth's trousers turned out to be bleach spots. Police earlier thought they were hidden bloodstains. Broyles lived across the street from the Kirschner home and was picked up February 2 for routine questioning The youth admitted he struck Mr. Kirschner with a bat as the three youths forced their way into the man's home to rob him, police said. He said one of the others repeatedly hit Mr.

Kirschner in the head with a crowbar. Broyles has refused to name the two he said were his companions. He said the three ransacked the house, but found only $2. Two Boys Held In Price Hill School Blaze Two boys were held Friday night after they confessed setting a fire which caused evacuation of 700 pupils at Carson School, 4323 Glenway Ave. Fire Capt.

James Hassett of the arson squad found the boys, 11 and 12 years old, had escaped earlier in the day from Allen House. The younger had admitted turning in false fire alarms. They told Captain Hassett they stole a radio set from a store at Gilsey and Glenway took two cartons of cigarettes from a grocery, then entered Carson school. The janitor heard them in the hallway, radio going full blast, and chased them from the premises. The boys said they were angry at being ejected and re-entered the school, setting fire to a poster and wooden lockers in the basement.

Damage was negligible, but the excitement caused when 700 children went through a fire drill, was large. The boys, arrested by Patrolmen William Hausenmiller and Ossie Greiner, were lodged in the Juvenile Detention Home, Auburn Avenue. Former Cincinnati Ad Man Dies Harry S. Gosden, 74, newspaper advertising man who at one time worked on the Cincinnati Post, died Friday in Asheville, N. C.

A native of Richmond, he was a brother of Freeman Gosden, the "Amos" and "Kingfish" of the Amos 'n Andy radio show. Cheviot Seeks Landlords' Aid To Finance Business Survey How much are the owners of Cheviot's retail bustness properties willing to back improvement of the city's commercial area? The Cheviot Improvement and Conservation Commission will find out early month. The group, headed by Glenn O. Haubrock, has decided to take on the job of approaching landlords for their "fair share" of the cost of making an improvement survey. It took a tie-breaking vote Tuesday by Council president Albert W.

Schottelkotte to commit Cheviot Council to furnishing up to $4000 In matching funds for the study on how to Drinking Drivers: Better Watch a Out; Bad News Ahead There's bad news for Cincinnati. If the attitude of judges, is any indication, a low alcohol a urinalysis will no longer court. Other factors, such as testimony by the arresting officers about the driver's appearance, conversation and conduct, will be considered. AS IN A CASE before Judge Clarence Denning Friday, such factors could mean conviction. Yet, a driver who appeared in Judge Denning's court on the charges of driving when under the influence of alcohol and driving the wrong way on a divided highway, was dismissed on the former charge, convicted on the latter.

The circumstances in the case led to a decision that Municipal Court judges, Police Department executives and the city prosecutor will meet Monday Courthouse. At that time, according to indications, a 20-year-old regulation with respect to urinalyses probably will be revised. Under the regulaton now in effect, if a urinalysis discloses an alcoholic content of .19 or below, a person charged with drunken driving is dismissed because the alcoholic percentage is judged to be insufficient to prove intoxication. THAT'S WHY the driver won dismissal. Arresting officers testifled, however, that when they stopped him recently on Millcreek Expressway near the Reading Road cutoff he was driving north on the south-bound half of the highway.

They said further that he staggered out of his car and, in slurred speech, admitted he had imbibed eight martinis. Records show that he spent the night in jail and that next day before Judge Denning was considered still too much under the influence of liquor to stand trial. That's why his case was called Friday. drunken drivers arrested in police and the prosecutor body content disclosed by mean automatic dismissal in During the proceedings, Otto P. Behrer, city chemist, protested continued use of the 20-year-old regulation governing urinalyses.

He said if the urinalysis had been taken later it would have disclosed a much higher alcoholic body content. Judge Denning fined the driver $50 and costs and suspended, him days from on driv- the charge of driving the wrong way on a divided highway. $144,500 Price Set By Jury On Links Field Students Build Looking at the puffy mustache and the flaring tusks, how could one doubt that this 1 is a walrus even if it's what appears to be a bottle right flipper and sports an necktie?

A jury in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Friday set a price of $144,500 for 139.395 acres of land owned by the Gehrhardt Development 210 Harrison appropriated by the City of Cincinnati for a Miami Heights golf course. Warren County Judge Warren C. Young, sitting by assignment, heard testimony by John Scahill and Philip Olinger, assistant city solicitors, that city's high appraisal for the acreage was $129,500.

Smith Tyler and H. H. Nieberding, representing the owners, said their low appraisal was $224,600. The company owns a total of 455 acres in the area. The jury awarded $100,000 for the acreage to be appropriated and $44,500 for damage to adjacent property.

The city will build the golf course on the property south of Bridgetown Road, east of Shady Lane, and west of Fiddler Green Road. Stephen M. Young Ohio) and Frank J.

He also head no firm assurance that IRS would select the particular 17- acre urban renewal site that the city has cleared at the cost of $11 million and was prepared to donate to the Federal government. THE CHANGE from a privately owned government lease project to Federally financed construction and ownership will cost the city and the school district about $45,000 a year Deaths And Funerals Requiem Mass Set For Nicholas Jansen Requiem High Mass for Nicholas J. Janson, 82, 814 Tweed Mt. Lookout, widely known Cincinnati food broker since his youth, will be intoned at 10 a. m.

Monday at Our Lord Christ the King Church, Linwood and Ellison with burial in St. Mary Cemetery, St. Bernard. Mr. Janson died Thursday night at Good Samaritan Hospital, where he had been a patient for one week.

He had been active in his business until a few months ago. Mr. Janson was a descendant of pioneer Cincinnati families. His grandfather, Martin Janson, entered the fancy-foods import business in 1854; his father, Jake Janson, continued the business, and Nicholas Janson and a brother, George, continued it after their father's death in 1900. After the business was liquidated in 1907, Nicholas Janson started his own firm on Second Street.

The business was carried on in various other quarters later, but for the last several years has been in the Schmidt Building, Fifth and Main Sts. With a partner, Robert Teaney, Mr. Janson incorporated the firm in 1954. Mr. Janson was a longtime member of the Good Samaritan Hospital Board of Directors.

He was first president of the XU Dads Club. His son, Dr. Jerome N. Janson, is a member of the Student Health Service at XU, and is team physician. A member of Elder Council, Knights of Columbus, and a fourth-degree knight of Isaac Jogues Assembly, K.

On the land acquisition and clearance outlay for the 17-acre site in the citys West End, however, the Federal government already is responsible under the Urban Renewal Program for three-fourths of the net cost to the city-even if IRS and GSA decided on another Covington site for the center. THE 1963 supplemental budget request that Presldent Kennedy sent to Congress late Thursday included $790,000 to acquire a site and pay expenses for an IRS Center, (at Covington, Ky, $3,820.000 for construction. The sums are for the fiscal year ending June 30 and, if approved by House and Senate Appropriations Committees and by Congress, would be available before July. Mr. Boutin told Mayor Moloney Friday that GSA was prepared to send a necessary prospectus to the Senate and House Public Works Committees, perhaps early next week, or as soon as the Senate is organized.

Senator Cooper, present at the closed meeting in Mr. Boutin's office, said later the prospectus would "clearly designate" Covington. Officially, however, G.SA cannot designate a particular site until it follows legal procedures for setting up a site selection committee after congressional committees approve a prospectus.

Joseph, who operates the Columbia Oldsmobile at that location, has given the city the alternative of issuing him a building permit or facing court action. Indications now are that Mr. Joseph will have to file suit. The property has been assigned to the EmeryKnutson team for redevelopment along with other core area land, but Mr. Joseph wishes to improve own premises in accordance with renewal plans.

Don Hunter, city building commissioner, said it will take him a week to 10 days to process the construction plans to determine whether a permit should be issued, should the city manager and Council be willing. Mr. Joseph's plans were prepared and filed by Nelson Felsberg, architect. The application indicates that the building would occupy a ground area 100 by 113.6 feet, have retail sales outlets on the ground level and offices on the upper three floors.

John Rauh, cochairman of the Charter Campaign Committee, spoke at the meeting, citing five areas in which he felt Charter- ites could be immediately effective. They were: "Deteriorating financial position" of the city. Support of city-manager form government, now in danger. Supervision of major projects already under way, "where political wrangling and private interest threaten our progress." Economic growth: "We have failed to attract large businesses since the end of World War II." City county relationships "where the national parties work perhaps the greatest hardships to Cincinnatians: It is in the county that patronage can be dispensed, and it is in the county political caucus, not in Council, than an important decision such as 'Harrell must go' is made." Nicholas J. Janson Guard Society, of which he was past president.
