Enquirer (Peters) Photo Wandstrat charged that the captain of the Mississippi Valley Barge Line's huge "Louisiana" Ignored his radioed call for assistance. THE HARBOR owner asserted that the Coast Guard and the Kentucky State Police River Patrol also ignored his pleas for aid. Dr. Harold Scheldt, 52, of 2503 Harrison chiropractor, suffered a sprained knee when leaping from one jack-knifed float to another a moment after the impact. THE HARBOR consists Of nine boardwalk floats in a row.

The towboat stern missed the first six floats but hooked into the last three. An angry Riverside harbor owner yesterday charged "callous Indifference" was shown in a near-tragedy Wednesday night on the Ohio River.

Recruit Turns Up Hero In 'Cops -Robbers' Tale lng for Impeachment pro ceedings will be filed with the Legislature. This affidavit will be filed even if the four officials facing the governor's ouster proceedings are removed from office before the next session of the Legislature in January, he said. Anggelis also said a new affidavit may be filed with the governor for a new ouster quiz to cover other peace officers.

The reason for the request for another proceeding: The current hearing could not be legally broadened to include other persons. (Peace officers now can be removed only by the governor, the Franklin Circuit Court has decided. The decision is under appeal to a higher court. The House of Representatives can impeach all civil officers for any misdemeanor in office). The Lexington attorney would not name persons who possibly may be fendants in Impeachment proceedings and new ouster hearings.

McEvoy Play Period Experiment College Hill Seeks City Aid And Paid Park Leader 'X jf A neighborhood that knows what it wants will renew its efforts to speed the reluctant wheels of government with results of a summer experiment. The experiment involved the Park Board, the Public Recreation Commission, 47 volunteers, 400 (give or take a few) children from seven to 14 year of age and a smallish park in the eastern section of College Hill.

The idea was see whether these numerous ingredients could get together and evolve a planned play period at McEvoy Park. THE EXPERIMENT will end to- lege Hill intend to urge City Council to provide it. ANOTHER PROBLEM, the Park Board owns the land and will have to give its permission to use the park as a playground.
