Gives 6 More Cases To Unit Investigating Corruption Charges By WILLIAM M. SHAW Police Chief Kenneth B. Hale revealed yesterday that he personally has submitted 25 to 30 cases of police corruption to his special truth squad, which is headed by Capt. Robert L. Munshower.

Just yesterday, he said, he turned over six cases for the special team to investigate for possible presentation to the Marion County Grand Jury. 15 PASSENGERS INJURED Mayor Of Seymour Blasts Rail Conditions After Amtrak Wreck A Correction The Indianapolis Star incorrectly reported in its May 8 editions that Capt. William E. Owen, former head of the Indianapolis Police Department narcotics branch, had refused to take a lie detector test as requested by Police Chief Kenneth B. Hale.

Owen did not refuse the test. Owen has not yet been asked to submit to the polygraph, although Hale said yesterday he will make that request in the near future. Owen had no comment when asked if he would submit to the test when formally asked by Hale. the deteriorated condition of the tracks in some areas. He said no repairs were reported on the train at Indianapolis but the schedule includes a 15-minute safety inspection at that point.

William B. Maas, 12, Hazelcrest, 111., a son of Mrs. Barbara Maas, 34, described the wreck as a "pretty wild ride." He said he was awakened by a thumping under the car, then luggage stored overhead in the car began raining down on passengers. WILLIAM AND HIS brother, Daniel, 6, were sitting in the front seats of the leading passenger car. They were considered by train company officials fortunate to have survived after the side and roof of the car around them were ripped off in the wreck.

The most serious injuries were to a 6-year-old Illinois boy sitting in a seat in front of the car near a window. None of the injured passengers was from Indiana.

The wreck was the second accident in Indiana involving the Floridian, on a route from Chicago to Miami, in the last two weeks. Another train on the same route derailed near Winamac on April 30, injuring 28 passengers. "Speaking for the people of Seymour, I don't feel we should have to live with this fear when the situation could be corrected," Mayor Moritz said IN THE LAST year, the mayor said he became so concerned about the danger from Penn Central trains that he threatened to barricade the tracks at Seymour. Railroad officials responded with work crews to repair some of the track in the city limits, he Martin agreed that some of the track in Indiana is in poor condition, but he said the railroad is bankrupt and the money for complete repairs may have to come from the Federal government. The passengers on the train yesterday complained that the trip through Indiana had been very slow and the cars rocked so much some passengers could not sleep.

The train departed Chicago Thursday evening and traveled at an average speed of about 35 miles an hour, reaching Seymour at 6:45 p.m. yesterday. PASSENGER SAID the train had a delay in Indianapolis about 3 a.m. for repairs to the cars. Martin said the trains are ordered to travel slowly in Indiana because of COLLISION LEAVES Two Illinois Bovs rt asS MOTOP DFLIVER 7c PER WK.

"I don't want anything taken to the grand jury until we have a complete case ready." Langsl'ord was placed "out of service" after The Indianapolis Star re-, vealed a discrepancy in receipts from the semiannual police auction last month. HALE, COMPLETING eight weeks as chief, revealed in an inteview that for the first month he was in office, policemen were reluctant to come forth with information about corruption on the foice. "However, in the last two weeks there has been a tremendous influx of leads," Hale said. "I guess it just took the guys a little while to become accustomed to my methods." The department is in a stale of flux at, the moment, Hale said, and there is no such thing as political consideration when a man's assignment or promotion is considered. "YOU SEE, THINGS are changing around here," Hale said.

"People may not believe it, but politics have been taken completely out of this department. "Some policemen, without their political -friends, just don't know how to conduct tnemselves anymore. If a policeman had political immunity, so to speak, or a 'horse' (police jargon for 3 person with influence), he has suddenly founJ him gone and doesn't know how to act." He emphasized that the department is being reorganized along "functional lines without regard to politics or personalities." "I THINK SOME of thcrn (policemen) ate afraid of that. That's fine with me."

Jaworskf Legal Brief Ruled Secret Washington (UPI) United States District Judge John J. Sirica yesterday clamped secrecy on the latest battle between the White House and Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski over subpe-naed Watergate evidence. The White House has indicated it will fight the subpena all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary. SIRICA ordered Jaworski's formal legal brief on the issue sealed away from public view and said "it may be necessary" to hear arguments Monday afternoon in his chambers rather than in open court as scheduled. He offered no explanation, and made clear after a 45-minute closed meeting with lawyers for parties to the dispute that none would be forthcoming immediately.

"The court will have no comment regarding what was discussed at the meeting, and has instructed all counsel and their clients similarly not to comment," Sirica said in a three-paragraph statement. "NO QUESTIONS by reporters on this subject should be directed to chambers," he said. It was conjectured that Jaworski's legal brief may have triggered the need for secrecy, perhaps by inclusion of some grand jury testimony or other sensitive materials in support of his demand for further White House evidence. Sirica simply said Jaworski's memorandum had been filed and "will, for the time being, he held under seal." He said it would be announced by 9 Turn To Page 4, Column 3 Related News On Page 3 Watergate Tape Supply Exhausted The supply of Watergate tape transcripts made available to The Indianapolis Star by the Chicago Tribune again is exhausted. A shipment of 4,000 copies was received yesterday morning mid all were sold by 5 p.m.

Since May 3, when the first copies were received, 11,000 copies of the 44-page publication have been sold.

A For the first time in the history of time trials at the Speedway, a mechanical restrictor will be used to hold down the speed of the zippy little race cars that have been nibbling at 200 miles an hour the last two years on the 2-mile course.

With a pressure regulator and pop-. off valve to be inserted in the manifold of each car that is presented to the starting line limiting the engines to 80 inches of mercury, the chances of someone exceeding John Rutherford's record 10-mile average of 198.413 miles an hour are as slim as those for a quick reduction in the national debt. Not even A.J. Foyt's eyeball-popping run of 196.249 mph Thursday figures to be an indication of the top speeds expected today because no one knows how much "boost" the hot dogs have been running in the five days of practice preceding today's first attempts at making the 33-car starting field for the May 26 race. Nevertheless, more than 200,000 people are expected to start working their way into Tony Hulman's spacious grounds when the doors swing open at 6 a.m.

Practice will be permitted from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Then the first car is expected to roll away from the starting line at 11 o'clock if rain doesn't upset the timetable. IN THE EVENT of a complete washout today, IMS officials announced they'll use tomorrow's "rain date" to try to get in the first two periods of trials. If at least two or three machines would complete qualifying runs today and the rest of the qualification time should be rained out, action probably will be postponed until next Saturday. This is the first time in Speedway history also that there will be two distinct qualifying periods on the same day.

In its new and shortened format of two days rather than four, the Speedway management has decided the period from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. will constitute one period (or day) and 2:30 to 6 p.m. will constitute the other. The pole position will go to the fastest qualifier before 2:30 provided each car that presents itself for a qualification attempt this morning has an opportunity to post its four laps by then.

If all haven't, the first period will be extended until they do. Cars qualifying in the second period 2:30 to 6 p.m.-will line up behind the earlier qualifiers regardless of speed. Foyt will be the first man off the line today after drawing the No. 2 bead in the drawing after the track closed yesterday and no one pulled the No. 1.

BOBBY UNSER will be seventh off the line if everyone takes his crack and Mike Mosley 16th, Rutherford will be 26th, Johncock 31st and Mario An-dretti is listed as 43d.

SMITH Star I.U.-Bloomington Bureau Seymour, Ind. Mayor Chris Mor-itz declared that poor conditions of railroad tracks are a safety hazard to many Indiana communities after a passenger train derailed here yesterday. The derailment of Amtrak's Floridi-an at Seymour injured 15 persons at 6:47 a.m. yesterday. Mayor Moritz said, "It seems that the state and Federal iailroad officials are just waiting for somebody to be killed in one of these wrecks before the track and equipment will be repaired." James E.

Martin, general manager of the Penn Central Railroad Southern Division, including Indiana, said the wreck of the train carrying 117 persons from Chicago to Miami, was not caused oy poor track HE SAID A PIECE of steel pipe from the steam heating system of the passenger cars was hanging below the first car in the seven-car train" and jammed into the base of a track switching mechanism causing the leading wheels to jump the track. Investigators from the Federal Railroad Administration were probing the cause of the wreck yesterday and agreed the steam pipe may have caused the crash. The train was moving at a slow 20 miles an hour over track Martin considered in relatively good condition. The train yesterday jumped the tracks at a switch near U.S. 50 through the heart of Seymour.
