Like an Indian fighter of old, John Gilmore, 46, 427 E. Washington Ave., lies wounded with two "arrows". The splinters of hardwood board--one of them two feet long--were driven through the back and palm of his left hand when they kicked out of a power saw at the Omaha Standard body plant Monday. As Gilmore underwent surgery at Mercy Hospital, attendants said there was hope that no permanent injury would result from the accident.

Madison Mall In Council Bluffs . . . as H. Lee Gendler and Irvin Gendler say the 65-acre shopping center will look when opened in 1975. Construction work on the $10 to $12 million first phase, to provide some 500,000 square feet of space for several "major" department stores and a score of smaller shops, is scheduled for early 1973, the Omaha brothers, who are the developers, said Tuesday. Terming Council Bluffs "one of the last major untapped markets," the project will provide some 3,000 parking spaces, and can be compared to Omaha's Crossroads center in size.
