10 THE Major Change Facing State Education Office? Concluded From Page 1 Education, leaves room for doubt as to whether the board or the Commission on General Education would have the rule-making power. Birdsell says "legal advice" given the study group was that the commission would have the power, though the language of the drafted and enlexen, acted law says the board will have it. The board almost never meets, being made up of the superintendent and the commission as well as members of Nude, Mutilated Body Of Missing Woman Is Found STAR STATE REPORT Spencer, nude, mutilated body of a young woman, believed to have been sexually assaulted and strangled, was found lying face down in a water-filled ditch about 3 miles east of here yesterday. Owen County Sheriff Robert Mason identified the woman as Vickie Harrell, 25, of Bloomington. He said she was reported missing last Saturday.

PATHOLOGISTS at the Bloomington said she was strangled, Hospital, a rope, and the initials "KN" were carved on the chest. State police said Mrs. Harrell, a divorcee, was completely nude when found by a highway department worker about 1:30 p.m. in a ditch by a lane near Concord Road. THEY SAID she apparently had been left in the lane since a rain storm Saturday night.

There was no evidence of a struggle in the area where the body was found, police said. None of her clothing or personal belongings have been located. Mason declined to release further details. the Commission on Textbook Adoption and the Commission on Teacher Training and Licensing. The three commissions meet regularly.

Birdsell said' the staff is "thinking what the rules and regulations should be," but the subject is not on the agenda for a commission meeting scheduled tomorrow. HE CONCEDED that the grant of rule-making power may be broad enough that the commission could, in effect, freeze its existing staff by making removal of staff members difficult. However, four of the six commission members appointed the Governor are Republicans, and all are educators. Birdsell saw no difficulty for Loughlin in the fact that one of the sections of law repealed by the 1972 legislation reads as follows: "The state superintendent of public instruction, with the approval of the Commission on General Education of the Indiana State Board of Education, is hereby authorized to appoint all directors and other personnel of the various divisions and to assign to them their respective duties." THE LANGUAGE might be interpreted to mean that hiring and firing would reside in the board, howpower ever. "The Bank Is Broken' Cannes, France (AP) "Gentlemen, the bank is broken," was the call at the Palm Beach Casino in this Riviera resort last weekend.

And how. Playing trente et quarante, a variant of roulette, and using chips worth 000 each, a Tunisian living at Paris cracked the bank for a cool $1.36 million. The casino also paid out a whopping $3 million to a syndicate hitting the roulette table. Despite the payouts -the weather was miserable, too-the house kept smiling. The casino season has two months still to run.

The worst air accidents this year and their death tolls were: Jan. 7-A Spanish Iberia Caravelle on the island of Ibiza: 104 dead. March 15-A Danish Sterling Airways Super-Caravelle at Dubai in the Persian Gulf: 112 dead. May 5-An Alitalia DC-8 in Sicily: 115 dead.

May 18-A Soviet Antonov-10 turboprop near Kharkov in the Ukraine, 108 dead. June 14-A Japan Air Lines DC-8 near New Delhi: 85 dead. June 15-A Cathay Pacific Airlines Convair in South Vietnam: 81 dead. June 18-British European Airways Trident near London Airport: 117 dead. Aug.

14-The Interflug Ilyushin in East Germany: 156 dead. Ten other accidents with lesser death tolls helped push the total over 1,100. Only one commercial aviation death toll on record is higher than the 156 killed in yesterday's crash. On July 30, 1971, 162 persons perished in the collision of a Japanese Boeing 707 and a Concluded From Page 1 them to their knees." Many of the impassioned attacks on Senator George McGovern reflect the anger that "he wants to back down when we have them on the run" or "he'd pull out just when we're winning." Much of the pro-Nixon sentiment is anything but hawkish. His supporters say "he inherited the war," or "he's doing a good job getting the troops out," or one could do better." Will this pro-Nixon tide be reversed before the election? Two factors are worth noting.

FIRST, much of Mr. Nixon's current war support reflects a demand for a military victory and even to destroy the enemy. A conciliatory election eve settlement might be resented as a cynical sellout. An FBI agent in a Maryland suburb (Cheverly) and a security guard at the Bethlehem Shipyards at Baltimore (Dundaulk) expressed this thought: "I don't think Nixon would go that low and political." Second, and more significant, is what may happen if, despite all the bombing, the North Vietnamese simply refuse to yield. THIS IS THE great intangible that troubles much of the country.

Today, many who support Mr. Nixon's tough policy do SO with misgivings. Some complain, "We'll be pouring billions into Vietnam when we should be feeding our own, or that "we shouldn't be bombing dikes and killing civilians." But the keenest anxieties are voiced Hats Off To Winnie! Sydney, Australia (AP) A hat Sir Winston Churchill wore to paint in after he retired from public life was sold at auction yesterday for $276. A bowler Charlie Chaplin wore went for $216 in the same sale. by parents who fear that the war may be lengthened -or even that we may be forced back in -so it would entrap their young sons.

In almost every precinct sampled, the same family argument goes on. "My husband calls me a quitter," said one mother in Rock Island, "but I don't see why we can't bring everybody home. I have three boys, and with what Women's Lib is saying about equal rights, my girls will have to go, too." IN WEST YORK, a grinder's wife, always Republican until now, said, "I'm becoming more and more concerned about the war. Our oldest son is 17 and we have four more coming up. The South Vietnamese are relying on us too much and not trying hard enough on their own.

McGovern's war stand is his one good issue." Often this war cleavage involves basic differences in life. In the Union Turnpike section of Queens, N.Y., a sanitation worker's wife explained, Woman Struck, Killed By Truck A 68, year-old woman returning home from a visit to a doctor was struck by a truck and fatally injured about 4:45 p.m. yesterday at Shelby and Prospect streets, police said. The victim was identified as Helen M. Eschenbach, 555 Massachusetts Avenue, Apt.

4-J, who died an hour later in Marion County General Hospital of massive head injuries. The truck driver, Thomas May, 34, 1215 Spruce Street, told Patrolman Marvin E. Coffey Mrs. Eschenbach walked in front of his vehicle against the light as he was turning left from Shelby into Prospect with the turn arrow. Neighbors of Mrs.

Eschenbach said she had gone to the Fountain Square area to visit a foot doctor. No charges were filed against May. "I'm a good Catholic. We have to stop Communism. We can't let up.

Bomb them until they give Her husband shook his head. "They'll never give he said. "'We'll have to compromise." TWO OF THEIR SONS were free of the draft but the youngest one, now 17, worried them because "he has such free ideas." The wife recalled, "Why, the other day, a Negro with a cut on his face asked my son for help. My son gave him a dollar. That was ridiculous.

I scolded my son. The Negro would just go from one person to another asking for a dollar." "The husband, less rigid, remarked, "I tried to explain to my boy, 'why didn't you just give the man 50 My own feeling, to sum up, is that no dramatic reversal in the current war mood is likely. That judgment reflects the responses given by people to the question, "What does pulling out of the war mean to you?" A KENOSHA bartender replied, "It means pull out period." Other persons who start by replying, "We have to get out altogether" go on to add "buts' an Air Force." "have a base nearby so we can hold things under control: "Until the prisoners are releasedkeep our Navy there" "stay in Thailand." Perhaps these inhibitions against complete withdrawal are leftover effects of the psychological war over Vietnam that has raged in this coun-. try since at least 1964. I have interviewed about the war through all those years but never have found so much confusion about what "getting out" means as I find today.

The phrase no longer has any clear meaning. Its use should be dropped if we are to stop fooling each other.

Linda McKinley Linda McKinley, 9, Elwood, died yesterday in Elwood Mercy Hospital of injuries suffered Sunday when struck by a car as she and her sister Kathleen, 13, were riding a bicycle about a mile west of Elwood.

State police said Kathleen pedaled the bike from a Madison County road onto Ind. 28 in the path of a car driven by Carl Bickle of Logansport. Bickle told police he was blinded by the sun and did not see the girls. Services for Linda, daughter of Marilyn McKinley, will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Jackley-Landrum Funeral Home at Elwood, with burial in Aroma Cemetery there.

Hudnut To Give Talk To Jaycees The Rev. William H. Hudnut III, Republican candidate for 11th District congressman, will speak tomorrow at a noon luncheon of the Indianapolis Jaycees in the Athenaeum. Among the issues he will discuss is, "Why a pastor, am running for political office." Hudnut is pastor of Second Presbyterian Church. "My professional life has been oriented towards service to people, and I view a congressman's role in terms of service," he said.

"There is, then, a good deal of similarity in these respective responsibilities. "I believe that it's good for our country to have a number of different perspectives brought into the political specI en, trum- doctors, businessmen clergymen, and wom- farmers, the poor, and minorities these people should all be active participants in the legislative processes because the health and vitality of our democracy depends on it." Hudnut said.
