Hearing is closed BOISE, Idaho (AP) A magistrate today closed to the public a preliminary hearing for two Caldwell men charged with first-degree murder in the beating death of a Boise man. The hearing is to determine whether Gary Cleveland Karr, 18, and William Smith, 18, should be held for trial on murder and burglary charges in the Aug. 8 death of Thomas Kirk, 42.

Judge Michael Dennard closed the hearing at the request of attorney Byron Johnson, who represents Smith. Under a century-old Idaho law, magistrates are almost obligated to close preliminary hearings at the request of an attorney in the case. BURLEY One-time Champagne Lady on the Lawrence Welk Show, Kathie Sullivan, was guest artist at the Cabaret International sponsored by the Snake River Council Boy Scouts ol America Saturday night at the Burley The Cabaret is a major fund raising event of the Council, said Jack Muldoon, chairman, and a member of the coucil executive board, accounting for some 20 percent of the annual budget About 325 patrons from throughout the council attended the banquet warmly applauding the hour-long program by Miss Sullivan. The council covers the entire Magic Valley including the Hailey-Sun Valley area. It serves some 5,600 boys in the 8-county area.

Muldoon said he was happy to see how the people of the council "work together" to bring the scouting program to the boys. The Cabaret was preceeded by a social hour during which the patrons were entertained by the Cabaret Band which played again following the banquet and show. Miss Sullivan sang with the Lawrence Welk show for six years as soloist, also singing in duets and trios. She was "discovered" while studying music at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, having been selected from 50 girls from the school to audition with Welk. Mr.

Welk was so impressed with her talent that he asked her to continue with him as one of his featured soloists. Kathie says she was studying to be an opera singer at the University and had sung in numerous operas and other musicals. The chance to sing with the Lawrence Welk Show interrupted her formal education, which she never returned to. Since leaving the Show last year she has traveled widely singing gospel music to audiences in many cities. She was scheduled to present concerts in two churches in Boise Sunday, before returning to her home in Los Angeles.

at DUSK with Octopussy" showing Storm hits New Jersey By The Associated Press Thunderstorms doused parts of New Jersey with more than 4 inches of rain overnight, causing flooding that killed one youth and left another missing, and knocking out the power to about 15,000 people. The upper Mississippi Valley also got hit with thunderstorms early today and more turbulence was expected in North Dakota and Minnesota, where two tornadoes earlier had raked the area with high winds and hail. But for most of the drought-parched Plains and Midwest, it was another dry and hot day with temperatures headed back near the 100-degree mark and no relief in sight. In the Florida Keys, lightning knocked out the power for 4V4 hours this morning along a 40-mile stretch of the southernmost islands in the chain, officials said. The power blinked off from Key West north to the Seven Mile Bridge when lightning struck the Key West Utility Board power plant at Key West, said Monroe County sheriff's dispatcher Cheryl Binkley.

Power was restored about 9: 30 a.m., she said. A tornado damaged trees at Proper, N.D., and another was sighted near Lidgerwood, N.D., while winds up to 80 mph raced through the area and hail ranging in size from baseballs at Fargo to ping-pong balls at Lidgerwood, pummeled the area. The National Weather Service said more severe thunderstorms were possible. Meanwhile, thunderstorms were expected along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts from Texas to New England and in the Pacific Northwest. Widely scattered thunderstorms also were forecast from Arizona to Utah and Colorado.

In Passaic, N.J., authorities this morning found the body of one of two teen-age youths who fell into a rain-swollen brook several miles away in Clifton about 7 p.m. Sunday. The storm dropped more than 4 inches of rain in North Arlington, N.J., and 15,000 people lost power in Bergen and Hudson counties.

These local proposals follow a comprehensive national study on the state of education in the U.S. A similar study was also done in recent years in Idaho. Superintendent Hurst, attending a meeting at which national findings were outlined, said the national commission determined that English, math, science and social studies need to be "beefed more foreign languages should be offered and that curriculums should include personal and occupational goals.

Idaho has moist, unstable air By The Associated Press High pressure over Texas this morning continued to bring moist, unstable air to the eastern part of Idaho, officials at the National Weather Service said. The remainder of the state is under the influence of a large low pressure system located just off the West Coast. This is bringing a southwesterly flow of dryer and more stable air into the western portions of idaho.

A cold front spawned by the offshore low will probably only reach to the northern Idaho border since it is slowly stalling out. Skies over Idaho this morning ranged from cloudy in the north just ahead of the front to clear to partly cloudy in the south. Radar observations and lightning detection equipment indicate showers moving from Utah into the southeast corner of the state, and some showers developing near the panhandle ahead of the front. Temperatures at early today remained mild, being somewhat above late August normals. Most readings were in the 50s.

However, the range was from 64 at Lewiston and 62 at Mountain Home down to a brisk 38 at McCall. The extended forecast for Wednesday through Friday calls for scattered showers Wednesday and Thursday over northern Idaho, Jibson, Declo, Wallace Jibson, Logan, Jay R.
