The pair, Paul D. Chiafos, A family argument in a conference room in Marion Criminal Court, Division 2, erupted into a courtroom scuffle yesterday as stunned spectators and court personnel looked on. The brief scuffle developed during the appearance of Perry Lee Lynch, 19, 3016 North Winthrop Avenue, on a kidnaping charge. Lynch, who was being given the opportunity to plead guilty to a lesser charge of rape, was led to a conference room 40, Cedar Rapids, and Jerold O'Conway, 45, Bloom- at 86th Street and U.S.

The car also contained tools and a five-gallon gasoline can with traces of gasoline in it, they reported. More than $2,000 in cash was found in Conway's possession, deputies said. Both suspects were treated at Marion County General Hospital for burns.

Sheriff's detective Edward L. Elder, in charge of the investigation, said evidence so far indicates the fire was set to cover up a burglary. He said he thinks the explosion was caused by gas fumes from a fire set in the small office of the res: taurant.

Although George Wallace may not have the major Democratic presidential contenders quaking in their boots, he's got the two Republican congressional candidates of Indiana's Second District looking over their shoulders. Some observers think a strong run by Wallace in the primary could cause enough Republican crossovers to the Democratic ballot to tip the balance in the lively race between incumbent Representative Earl F.

Landgrebe and Indiana House Majority Leader Richard A. Boehning. NOBODY is willing to guess how much of a crossover will take place yet, but the Second District Republican chairman, Clyde C. Lewis of Lafayette, says Wallace is going to be strong in southern Lake and Porter counties, where a lot of Republican steel mill and heavy industry employes live. However, Landgrebe, 56, a staunch conservative, owns and operates a trucking firm at Valparaiso in Porter Coun LA PORTE CO.
