Boy Kills Faiher For Refusal of Car Minneapolis, Minn. (U.R) Michael Abbett, 14, killed his father with a rifle shot last night because he wouldn't let him use the family car. . The boy gunned down his architect father, Loren, 44, in the kitchen of their suburban Edwina home, police said. Then he smashed his father's rifle . against the floor, breaking the stock, and went to his room to await police. Officers said the eighth grade student told them "I was tired of being scolded." Michael went into a frenzy when his father refused to let him drive the family car be cause he was too young, police said. , He smashed all the windows in his room and then raged into his father's room and grabbed the rifle. . When his mother and two brothers saw him coming with the gun, they started to flee to the basement. They were still on the basement stairs when Michael leveled the rifle at his father from six feet away and shot him, police said. Playground Area Fight Goes To Court New York (U.R) A brigade of mothers dried their eyes and went into Supreme Court today for a legal fight to keep a grassy play area in Central Park from being turned into an asphalt parking lot. The mothers moved their baby carriage battle lines from the play area to the courts Thursday and gained a temporary vic tory. Work on the parking lot was ordered stopped. Bulldozers and construction crews abandoned their work after the tearful mothers went befori Justice William C. Hecht Jr. to Seek a temporary injunction to pre serve the play area. Opposition attorney John P. McGrath promised Hacht that no more work would be done on the parking lot until the whole matter was decided in court. The mothers' case is based on an 1853 decree which said "no encroachments would be tol erated," in the then brand-new park. Springfield Man Dies in House Fire Springfield, Ore.
