Rules congressmen must live in the district they represent Friday, Mar, 22, 1974 KOKOMO (Ind.) TRIBUNE 13 INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The State Election Board has ruled that Indiana congressmen must Jive in the districts they represent, but the question might be headed for a court test. The board Thursday disqualified Indianapolis minister Joe L. Turner as a candidate for the Republican nomination for nth District congressman because he lives in the 6th District. Both i i extend into a i County. Turner said the board was without jurisdiction because congressman is a federal office.

He said he would seek to have the decision reversed by a federal court. "I know I'm qualified to run," the Rev. Turner declared. "You're talking about separation of powers here." He said the U.S. Constitution sets qualifications for U.S.

representatives--at least 25 years old, a U.S. citizen for seven years and a resident of the state he represents. Richard Johnson of the state attorney general's office advised the board that Indiana law requires a candidate "must live in the jurisdiction of the office he seeks." He interpreted that to apply to congressmen as well as state officeholders. The Rev. Turner said federal courts have ruled that states can't set additional qualifications for congressmen.

He is one of two Republicans running against Rep. William H. Hudnut of Indianapolis for the party's nomination in the May 7 primary. U.S. Attorney Stanley B.

Miller said the Rev. Turner made a civil rights a i a the board action. "We're going to look into it," Miller said. The election a i came after Secretary of State Larry A. Con- fad asked if it was legal to live in one district and file a declaration of candidacy in another in the same state.

Meanwhile, the board also threw out the candidacy of Griffith Democrat Ernest Edward Hero, who filed last week for both the Lake Ridge school board and the 1st District congressional nomination. The board said he was ineligible for the congressional race because he had failed to withdraw first his school board candidacy. Two other congressional hopefuls--Gary Republican Edward G. Gifford and South Bend Republican William N. Crum IV--were denied candidacy because their mailed declarations were received at the secretary of state's office after the noon Monday filing deadline.

Another, Indianapolis Republican Timothy Elaine Haines, was kept on the ballot even though he had tried to drop out of the Gth District congressional campaign. The board said his notice of withdrawal, received at 1:14 p.m. EST Monday, was unacceptable because it was after the noon filing deadline. In other action, the three-member election board voted to reject the late filings of 10 candidates and the withdrawal of one more. Seven of those arrived at the secretary of stale's office at 1:20 p.m.

Monday, but had been postmarked March 15 or earlier and all sent by registered, certified or special delivery mail. State Sen. Adam Benjamin, D-Gary, who sponsored the 1972 law that established the filing deadline as noon 50 days before the primary, said the can- i a be a They missed (he deadline, Benjamin said, because of slow mail delivery rather than their own negligence. William C. Lloyd, the governor's representative on the election board, said the candidates had final responsibility for insuring their declarations arrived on time.

They could have filed in person, he said. Benjamin, a candidate for reelection, said he would recommend the next legislature change the law to allow candidates to file with county clerks as well as the secretary of state's office. Congressional, legislative and judicial candidates now must file in person or by mail with the secretary of state. Benjamin said changing the law i i a i a i mailed declarations arrived after the deadline. The late filers rejected Thursday were former State Rep.

Only few more Indiana filling stations to be open on Sunday INDIANAPOLIS (AP)-President Nixon's statement this week that the voluntary closing of gasoline stations on Sunday is no longer necessary appears to have had little effect in Indi- Year-around school idea well on its way to revival I I A A I A The year-around school idea, tried in Bluffton in 1904 by Supt. Bill Wlrt before he went to Gary and became a famous educator, is well on its way to being revived in Indiana in one or more modern forms. The Indiana Legislative Council this week approved spending $26,100 for a pilot program In New Albany-Floyd School Corp.

and $8,000 for another in West Lafayette Junior-Senior High School. These were the first firm steps in a $250,000 program authorized by the 1973 General Assembly. Up to then the activity had been mostly seminars, invitations for schools to indicate interest, and the setting up of a year-round school division in State School Supt. Harold H. Negley's office.

Parker Eaton, project director, and staff members started the New Albany-Floyd project by calling for a study of utilities costs in 1973. Eaton returned from visiting the New Albany and Floyd Central schools Thursday, pleased with the innovative approach of Supt. Robert Holmes. "He wants to study all the plans in use and then propose a unique plan," Eaton said. West Lafayette also will make up its own mind about what plan it will test.

Eaton said there are nine plans functioning in 43 states. The most popular divides the year into foul quarters and three-fourths of a pupil population is in school at any one time. Jefferson County, with 97,000 pupils, adopted the fourquarter plan in 1972. All of the State of Texas adopted a yeararound school plan this year. A few schools around the country are using a i a i of Chicago service stations open on Sunday CHICAGO (AP) The Chicago Motor Club says more than 20 per cent ol the service stations in this metropolitan area plan to he open some hours Sunday.

The club said a in its weekly gasoline availability survey a 22 per cent of area a i checked plan to keep some Sunday hours and three per cent of the rest say they might if their gas holds out. Downstate and in Indiana, there will be little change in the picture Sunday despite President Nixon's lifting of the voluntary sales ban, the club said. It said about 20 per cent of the downstate and Indiana stations were open last Sunday, compared to 10 per cent in Chicago. The survey said gas supplies were remaining stable throughout the metropolitan area and most stations would have enough to last the month. The club said 95 per cent of the Chicago area stations were not imposing limits on purchases and that 27 per cent were remaining open at least until 8 p.m.

It said 13 per cent of downstate stations were on daily quotas and 10 per cent were imposing money or gallon limits. Most of those with quotas or limits were within 75 miles of Chicago. In northern Indiana, 22 per cent of stations checked were imposing limits and 10 per cent were on daily quotas. The average price of regular gasoline in Chicago was 55.9 cents a gallon, compared to 55.8 cents last week, the club said. The average price for premium was 60.3 cents, it said, compared to 59.9 cents a week ago.

On a specific starting day, 25 per cent of the students go to school. Three weeks later, another 25 per cent goes. Three weeks later, another 25 per cent arrives at the school.

When the last 25 per cent arrives, three weeks later, the first group has completed nine weeks and takes a three-week vacation. There never is more than 75 per cent of pupils in school atone time. Each has 180 days of classes, four three-week vacations, and four weeks of traditional vacations. Teachers have options. They can teach nine months straight or follow the pupils' schedule, working 240 days in either case.

Indiana Is not yet committed to any of the plans. Within the next few weeks, a few more schools will be selected. The project plan is to have three to five operating year-round by September 1975 and another three to five by September 1976. Changing from nine-month to 12-month schools has complications. The curriculum has to be changed, as well as teachers' schedules.

With nine-week courses instead of 18 weeks, the credit will be reduced from one to one-half. It takes 32 credits for graduation from high school and 16 must be in such required subjects as U.S. history, English, science, mathematics, social studies, physical education and health. A selling point for year-round school is that a broader variety 'of elective courses can be given. With nine-week courses, a i will waste less time on a subject he finds he detests.

The bigger sales pitch, of course, is that year-round school should save tax money over the long haul, although it probably will be more expensive at the start. It will be necessary to convince school district residents that spending more money on teachers' salaries will save millions in new buildings. The money now spent on summer school is saved, of course. Another factor is Dr. Negley's declaration this week that kindergarten is to become a part of all Indiana public schools.

New Albany-Floyd, with 13,000 pupils filling its buildings, has no kindergarten program. Year-round school would provide froom for it. West Lafayette High School has 2,700 pupils. Additional schools to be selected--at their request--for pilot programs probably will be in other sizes. One problem raised at seminars is finding time in a yearrpund school for maintenance and repairs.

"Hospitals operate seven days a week 52 days a year," Eaton says, "and they're the cleanest places around." He said between 35 and 50 schools have expressed interest in i year-round operations. He is not releasing the list because some officials still have a community selling job to do. ana yet. The Hoosicr Motor Club reported only a slight Increase In the number of Indiana stations expected to open this Sunday. In its weekly fuel survey, the motor club said 48 of 118 stations surveyed In central Indiana reported they will open Sunday.

Forty-six reported last week that they would be open on Sunday. The survey showed six stations limiting sales and four reporting shutting down after pumping a fixed number of gallons each day. Thirty-nine stations were open after 9 p.m. weekdays, and 42 were open after 9 p.m. Saturdays.

Two stations said they were out gas, and 17 reported low supplies. The club said the average price for gas in central Indiana was 53.6 cents a gallon for regular and 57.1 for premium.
