Merkle, executive director of the Greater Indianapolis Council on Alcoholism. One of the goals of the council, formed last June, is to ensure that existing laws are enforced, he said. The second is to start an early education program against alcoholism. A pilot project called "Chug" will begin soon in elementary schools to teach third graders that "too much of anything is not good." JON M. BAILEY, appointed Monday as the deputy Marion County prosecutor overseeing the prosecution of drunk driving cases, also spoke at the press conference in the English Foundation Building, 615 North Alabama Street.

"My job is to see nothing falls through the cracks." After speaking to the group, Bailey Families and friends of persons killed by drunk drivers have started an organization "to get drunk drivers off the road." The newly formed Indianapolis Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) Wednesday called on Gov. Robert D. Orr to appoint a task force to suggest solutions to the problem. Chapter President David. A.

Hei-denreich said the local chapter of the national Organization will monitor Marion County traffic courts. "We need members to find out which courts are dealing with the problem and which are allowing plea bargaining and giving slaps on the wrist" Stricter sentencing laws are necessary, he said. HEIDENREICH announced formation of the group at a press conference Wednesday, the first anniversary of the death of his brother.

mCO THE CHALLENGER ONLY $49900 II 1 DEAR DR. STEINCROHN: I've had a heart attack. My doctor calls it by the fancy name of myocardial infarction. I've been wondering just what this means. Mr.

D. DEAR MR. Myocaridal infarction means death of heart muscle cells. There's death or necrosis of heart muscle if blood is cut off from an area for 20 minutes. Myocardial infarction may be precipitated in patients who suffer from high blood pressure, in those subjected to emotional excitement or extreme physical exertion.

Also in those who have postsurgical blood loss, severe infection or arterial spasm due to atherosclerosis. In this latter condition there's an accumulation of plaques of soft fatty material producing thrombosis or clots. As a result, the coronary arteries narrow and this reduces blood supply to the heart muscle. Then prolonged heart damage results. Most infarctions involve the left ventricle of the heart.

The pain due to myocardial infarction may last for hours or days (in severe attacks). It extends across the chest, into the shoulders, neck, jaw and arms. Patient perspires profusely, the blood pressure plummets, and the patient has a sense of fear and doom. Getting emergency treatment is important. Approximately half of those who die of a heart attack do so before receiving any medical attention.

Diagnosis is confirmed by ECGs and examining the blood for enzyme elevations (i.e. CPK creatin phos-phokinase). One of the most severe complications is a heart irregularity (arrythmia) called ventricular fibrillation, This must be treated immediately. During the first year following the attack, there's a much greater than average death rate. In the next five years the mortality rate falls to 5 percent per year.

The recent use of beta blocker drugs increase chances for survival if taken 7-28 days after onset of symptoms and continued for up to 33 months. (According to recent Norwegian studies.) DEAR Dr. STEINCROHN: A first ToYour Health By Peter I. Steincrohn.M.D. And David J.

LaFia O. cousin of mine has manic depressive psychosis. After consultation it was decided to give her lithium. Everyone realized she has improved tremedous-ly. But lately she has been breaking out.

Although she is 35, she has developed acne like a teenager. Now the question is what to do? Stop the lithium? Mrs. N. DEAR MRS. Her own doctor will have to make the decision.

But it seems to me that lithium should not be discontinued if there is no other side effect other than acne. Her depression outweighs her skin complication in importance. Why not consider a visit to a dermatologist? She can receive treatment for her acne if such is the doctor's judgment while still taking her lithium. McNaughl Syndlcttt HEALTH CAPSULES by Michtl A.

I sent a check for $4.69 to Sterling House, Garnersville, N.Y., for a pair of scissors. I wrote to the firm when I did not receive them and was told that the order was lost in shipment. I was to hold the card until Nov. 25, then if the order had still not arrived, I was to send it back with a copy of the canceled check. I still have not heard anything.

Herbert Groninger Answer: A spokesman for Sterling House said the company is reshipping the merchandise "immediately." Refund lost Question: My patience is wearing thin. In April, I sent for a $5 refund from Hunt-Wesson "Pyramid Pay-Off." All I ever received was $1. I can't understand why nothing has happened, because I have written to the firm several times. Wesley Deckard Switz City Answer: A spokesman for Hunt Wesson Foods said the $5 refund, which was mailed to you, was probably improperly addressed. The company is sending you another refund.

In a related development, the City-County Council's Transportation Committee recommended 6-1 that the council approve a proposal to establish 30-minute parking on Monument Circle between 1 a.m. and 6 p.m. on days other than Saturdays, Sundays and holidays when parking is mostly unrestricted.

years to sign a death certificate in Roberts' name, saying evidence was too scanty. And insurance companies refused to pay nearly $1 million in claims for Roberts' life insurance sought by his wife, Geneva. In 1980, the isolated Brown County cabin where Mrs. Roberts had lived since the first fire also burned. Authorities said two bodies found in the second fire were those of Geneva and her long-missing husband.

Trooper David Anderson called Pless' report "a big letdown." "He (Hatcher) was our No. 1 shot," Anderson said. Anderson said he still expects the Roberts case to be taken to a Brown County grand jury this month. The jury will be asked to consider if Roberts had help hiding for a decade or if the 1970 murder was part of an insurance fraud scheme. The charges made by Hunt, who had worked with Combs and Grant in the robbery division, prompted an investigation by the police internal affairs branch.

Police Chief Joseph G. McAtee, who had no comment on the suit, said about 30 policemen have been interviewed so far. "If there's any evidence to indicate any wrongdoing, it will be passed on (to the prosecutor's McAtee said. "We don't have anything yet, but we're not finished." Prosecutor Stephen Goldsmith said he has talked to Hunt about the allegations, but refused to comment on what Hunt said or on the suit. At this time, he said, he is not expecting a grand jury investigation of the charges.

Leniency in rape draws criticism London (AP) A British judge came under attack Wednesday for failing to jail a man who confessed to raping a 17-year-old hitchhiker and for telling the victim she was guilty of "contributory negligence." A spokeswoman for Women Against Rape said the light sentence and the judge's comments "could only serve to encourage people to rape many women, 5 particularly teen-age girls who can't travel about the country any other way" than by hitchhiking. John William Allen, 33, was fined $3,800 Monday by Ipswich Crown Court Judge Bertrand Ricjjards. 1 ri.i il Jb STAR STATE REPORT Nashville, Ind. Reports that the 1970 murder victim of a fire in the home of Brown County businessman Clarence Roberts had been identified have fizzled. A pathologist's report Wednesday refuted the identification offered by Indiana State Police.

Investigators recently said they suspected the body found after the fire was James Woodrow Hatcher, a drifter from Kentucky who has been missing since 1968. However, forensic pathologist John E. Pless at Bloomington Hospital said chest X-rays of the body and of Hatdher do not match. "There's no way theyVe the same person," Dr. Pless said.

Clarence Grant and Patrolman Elmer E. Combs filed the suit in Superior Court against David A. Hunt, who left the department Nov. 1.6.. According to the suit, filed Tuesday in Civil Division, Room 2, Hunt told police and others that Grant and Combs protected robbery suspects from prosecution.

Because of Hunt's allegations, Grant was transferred from the robbery division to the late shift of the juvenile division and Combs was transferred from robbery to the missing persons division, the suit says. Grant and Combs maintain the charges are untrue and that they have damaged their reputations and careers. Kockne confidante dies South Bend, Ind.
