MORRISON STAB STAFF WRITER The demolition of School 5 last week violated Indiana air pollution regulations concerning asbestos but state authorities have not decided who will be charged with the infraction. State health authorities Monday were preparing a notice of violation on the demolition which could ultimately result in a fine. "There's no question," said Harry Williams director of the state air pollution control division.

"There as definitely a violation of our rules and regulations." State regulations require that before a building suspected of containing asbestos can be demolished, an investigation must be completed to determine if the substance is present If asbestos is found, prior approval of the demolition must be granted by state air pollution officials and under normal circumstances the asbestos would be removed and bagged before the structure is torn down. The School 5 demolition occurred without anyone seeking that prior approval, according to Williams. Partial demolition of the school, located at 20 North California Street, began the same afternoon that the White River Park Development Commission voted to approve the work. A representative of Dorsey Pav- QQ3 CECP TO G0 ing Inc. attended the commission meeting Wednesday and as soon as the commission voted put crews to work on the demolition.

Asbestos was found in the rubble of the school after the partial demolition. The fibrous material, formerly used as a fire retardant and 'insulator in buildings, can cause serious respiratory problems, including cancer, if inhaled in sufficient quantities. Attorney General Linley E. Pearson said Monday that the question of who will be charged with the violation will come down to whether the White River Commission had a direct hand in the demolition or if they relinquished control of the pro- -ject to the contractor. "The whole key in the thing is if people were violating the law on purpose," Pearson said.

Pearson also said Monday that he would investigate the possibility that other state laws were violated in the White Rjver Commission's decision. The investigation was requested by the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana Monday in a hand-delivered letter to Pearson. The foundation group asked Pearson to determine if Indiana laws were violated in four areas: state approval for demolition of a historic building, the state Open Door Law, prior approval for demolition of a building containing asbestos and state requirements for bid-letting. Asbestos in the rubble of the school also has caused a second environmental concern. The demolition debris must be handled as a special waste, requiring special permission and special handling for disposal.

Sidney H. Weedman, executive director of the commission, said the commission will make the special handling a part of the bid specifications for the remaining work on School 5. He said the rubble from the school will not be disturbed until a new contract is granted to complete demolition and haul away the debris. He estimated that process would take four to six weeks.

DuBois 11111 Death penalty poll ASSOCIATED PRESS Los Angeles An overwhelming majority of Californians supports the death penalty, and many say the conviction of their mother or. father of a capital crime wouldn't change their minds, a poll says. The Los Angeles Times found that 75 percent of the 1,568 people polled in a telephone survey in June favored capital punishment, 55 percent of them strongly. Nine percent said they were staunchly opposed. -Mm.

this year and attempting to get the 50 township candidates that are needed for next year's elections. Then it will be easier to go to the potential judge or sheriff candidate and say we have all these other Republican candidates on the ballot and it will be easier for you to run county-wide. "At least I think it is going to be a. lot easier." Several national political swings localized to DuBois County also are working in Hayes' favor. More and more Roman Catholics, one of the strongest groups supporting the Democratic Party nationally for decades, are swinging to Republicans, pollsters and political consultants believe.

DuBois County has a population of 34,000. Records kept by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Evansville show that 22,470 Roman Catholics live in the county. The conservative nature of the county's voters, according to Hayes, "has always fit well with the conservative people in the county. The tradition was, though, they voted Democratic." Hayes has also driven a wedge between conservative DuBois County Democrats and the voters, using a series of newspaper advertisements listing national Democratic Party platform statements. "Oh, that made the local Democrats mad.

They'd say, 'Well, we don't believe in and I'd say, 'Well, this is a direct quote from your national platform. I'd say things like 'If you can't stand for what your party stands for, then vote Republican for a Democrat Heeke also sees another advantage for Hayes, who is a former high school government teacher and now an assistant principal at Jasper High School. "He's got those kids every day and he's teaching them how to be good Republicans." And Heeke, tongue in cheek, sees a way to slow the Republican surge in his former stronghold. "Maybe we could get him fired." Continued From Page 1 tion for success is quality candidates, money and volunteers. In DuBois County, all that is missing is candidates.

Hayes said' DuBois County treasurer Mary Catherine Persohn "was the only (candidate) we could recruit for the general election. She worked a whole lot harder that I even imagined she would. She had her friends and family and they covered practically every doorstep in the county. "We kept a big map and marked off all the roads and streets and she did just an excellent job of going door to door asking people for their vote. "Every piece of literature had Mary Persohn's picture and publicity on the front and had Bob Orr's and Reagan's and the rest of the state ticket on the back.

"It was a calculated measure on our part to get her elected, but certainly at the same time to help the state ticket." DuBois County Democratic chairman Marie Denu said she was "too upset" to talk about the last election. State Rep. Dennis H. Heeke, D-DuBois, cited several reasons for the Republican victory. "DuBois County is one of the few counties in the state where employment has actually grown.

People there are pretty conservative to begin with and when they have a job they are pretty happy. "The president said to the people of that county what they wanted to hear, and Walter Mondale made the mistake although he may be proven right when he proposed a tax increase. "And, they (the Republicans) just outworked us." Was it a fluke then? Heeke says no. "You cant consider DuBois County a Democratic stronghold any longer." Republican chairman Hayes does not look at it as a fluke either.

As for the broadcast crew, it's rumored Jim Lampley will replace Jim McKay as anchorman for the race.

"Jim Lampley and Sam Posey will be prominently involved," said Spence, "and I hope Jim McKay will be involved."
