Nunn Doubts Remapping Will Stand In Court BOWLING GREEN, Gov. Louie B. Nunn declared Thursday he had serious doubts that the legislative reapportionment act would stand up in court.

He said he would allow it to become law without his signature. At a news conference here, Nunn also termed the recent special session of the General Assembly as "an expensive exercise in evasiveness." He said he would have liked to have seen the legislature pass a reapportionment bill which would have brought stability to all districts in the state for the next 10 years. While saying he did not see evidence of partisan or factional politics in the bill, Nunn said it was obvious the legislators were motivated more by their political ambitions than complying with the legal requirements of reapportionment. The bill was passed last week. Nunn met with an industrial prospect here Thursday and then flew to Athens, for the NCAA basketball game between the University of Kentucky and Western Kentucky University.

He will meet with representatives of the federal Health, Education and Welfare Department Friday and return to Kentucky late Saturday. Friday Movies MADISON THEATER- Airport.

Denis J. Bracken, son of Mr. and Mrs Michael Coffey, received a statement showing he had $15,047.85 in his savings account.

His mother said Thursday that when the statement was received earlier this week, "I didn't know what to think. I had opened the account for Denis early in January with a deposit of $10. "Before going to the bank to straighten it out, I called some of Denis' relatives. Some of them arewealthy and I thought perhaps had made a large deposit to his account. "That turned out not to be true." Mrs.

Coffey said, "so I went to the bank today to straighten it out. "An official of the First National Bank and Trust Company in Covington told me what had happened. "It clerk forgot to enter Denis' account number in the bank records of the transaction. That meant that when the person who deposited the $15,000 in a new savings account the bank issued him Denis' number. And that meant there were two accounts with the same number," she explained.

"The bankcaughtthe error within a day or two but forgot to remove the $15,000 from our account." Mrs. Coffey noted the official told her she could have withdrawn any or all of the while it was assigned to Denis' account. "As it was," Mrs. Coffey said, "Denis gets to keep the interest of $35.85.

Poos said he appointed Thomas W. Betting to the non-paid post, to allow probated offenders to have someone to report to.

City council members expressed concern about the city's liability on actions by the probation officer, and asked City Attorney Bruce Henneberg to check legal aspects.

Dog Catcher Quits In Controversy The resignation of Boone County Dog Warden W. J. (Sheeny) Craig became official Thursday. Fiscal court members held a brief meeting at 1 p.m., and accepted Craig's signed statement that his wife brought to the meeting. "Due to the fact that I am no longer physically able to handle dogs and can get no dependable help, and also due to the distance that I now live from my kennel.

I wish to resign from my position as dog warden of Boone County. This is to be effective April 1, 1971," the statement said. Criag recently was the crux of a controversy resulting from charges brought by the Boone County SPCA over the treatment of dogs in his custody. Craig, 64, when reached at his home, said that he plans to spend more time at home helping his wife on their farm. "I feel terrible, after 15 years (as dog warden)," Craig commented.

"They'll never find anybody to replace me" he claimed. "I had to furnish everything, truck, kennel and all."

"I advised we would give him a recommendation based upon what the facts were," said Ruberg. The school and Ruberg met with Pilder and his lawyer for almost an hour and a half Wednesday night before reaching a solution agreeable to all. The evening meeting had been scheduled for the continuation of Pilder's hearing at Simon Kenton High School, and would have been the fourth session of the hearing.

Burglars Flee Despite Shots Emberton Backed By Senator Cook WASHINGTON (AP) Sen. Marlow W. CooK (R-Ky.) Thursday endorsed Tom Emberton of Edmonton for the Republican nomination for governor of Kentucky. Emberton is the state's former public service commissioner. "Emberton's character and integrity coupled with his broad knowledge of both rural and urban problems make him a candidate that will very well be received in all parts of the commonwealth." Cook said in a statement.

Cook said he plans to return to Kentucky as often as Senate business permits to campaign for Emberton. All four agreed that the redistricting was probably the result of "politics." County Clerk Hildreth Harber became concerned when he learned that his county was in the same district with 52,000 people in Covington. He had believed the link was with rural Kenton County, and he saw no problem with that. "We don't have any crow to pick with those folks (Covington), but we don't have anything in common," Harber said. He conceded that Robertson has no chance of ever electing a native son as a state senator, and then related Ew the county and three other Robert Boss, locksmith, second floor, 1023 Monmouth told Newport police he fired three rifle shots into the air at 1:59 a.

m. Thursday in an unsuccessful effort to stop a fleeing car. He said one of the car occupants was a suspect in a burglary at Combined Lock Service, first floor, 1023 Monmouth, moments earlier. Someone had hurled a concrete block through a window, reached inside and removed a set of automobile master keys. Police were told the keys are used for vehicles of 1965 model and older.

Boss also suffered a severe cut on his hand when breaking a second floor window in trying to halt the suspect. He was treated at St. Luke Hospital. By JACK HICKS Tnquirer Kentucky Editor Puzzled irate but mostly apathetic. That was the range of emotions encountered in looking for reactions to the reapportionment of the Kentucky General Assembly.

The search for answers went to Bracken, Robertson, Pendleton and Grant counties, all tied to urban Kenton County by the new Kentucky senate districts drawn by the legislature earlier this month. From Brooksville to Williamstown, from Mt. Olivet to Falmouth, there was one common thread few people really understand what reapportionment is all about, or its relationship to their home county. Those querried ranged from county judges to store clerks, but hardly anybody knew what it was all about. AFTER EXPLAINING redistricting several dozen times, this reporter wasn't SO sure he understood it either.

In Brooksville, Bracken County Judge John Carlin wasn't sure of all the counties that had been tied to his in the new and controversial Senate district. As Carlin noted, "It won't do to get too exicted, the courts will probably throw it out anyway." Bracken County is linked with was told Covington is suing to have it changed. "Don't blame 'em, cause I don't like it either," he said. IN WILLIAMSTOWN, which is linked with suburban and rural Kenton County in the Senate district plan, it was difficult to find pro or a con about reapportionment. "I guess Covington don't like it very well," said one man.

A Brooksville businessman probably said it best for everybody, he remarked, "People here abouts just don't understand this reapportionment." "Only the politicians seems to care," said a woman in Williamstown..
