Keith Bu-len has disappeared. Bulen said he has not talked to Lugar, whom he handpicked in 1967 as the mayoralty candidate and later guided his successful re-election bid in 1971, since "about the first of the year." And John W. Sweezy, now county man, said that he and Bulen do not converse regularly any more.

"I would guess that I've talked to Keith only about once in the past six weeks or so," Sweezy said. iiciscii lit me siiower. She gave it scarcely a glance. "I do look different," she said, removing a blue scarf that had been can. He has good name recognition to start with.

He has a good congressional voting record and good rapport with different segments of society. We are not overconfident, but I believe we can win." HUDNUT SERVED one two-year term as 11th District congressman. Asked if he had heard of the reported split between Lugar and Bulen, Sweezy replied that he did not "think there is any love lost" between the two men. He said he learned of this from discussions with "mutual friends" of both. Lugar and Sweezy still appear to be on good terms.

SWEEZY SAID Hudnut's campaign budget will "be about the same as Welch's," but said no estimate has been made for the other campaign expenses, including councilmanic candidates' spending. In addition, 'both Sweezy and Schreiber must come up with money to pay election day workers.

Sweezy pays his committeemen $25 and vice-committeemen $15 on election day. For these and "other outside workers," it will cost $25,200, he said. And if you pay ward leaders it also costs more. Asked if he was confident Hudnut could beat Welch, Sweezy said: "I believe he Mooney BULEN NOW figures in a Federal grand jury probe of The $250,000 set by Welch for his mayoralty campaign did not include a budget for councilmanic candidates, of which there are 29.

I was in a steel corset for weeks. He stayed with me through it. Then I left him. We had an. awful fight.

I started to grow up." "You sound like you're still in love with him?" "I'll always be in love with him a little bit." She said she doesn't believe he wrote about her in his love memoirs. "He stopped right after Jane Fonda. I was after Jane Fonda. But he taught me a lot. He taught me to be self-assertive." Now living with another man, Miss Welles said she never wants to get married.

"Never." "But what'll happen if people quit getting married?" "There'll be no divorces," she said. TODAY'S BEST LAUGH: Tennyson Guy-er nominates Thomas A.

I was satisfied. Then," Gwen Welles added, "They got all excited about the film ('Nashville') and here it is. In the Bob Altman film, 26-year-old Miss Welles plays a waitress who thinks she's auditioning for a singing job at a stag party and discovers she's supposed to strip. She stuffs some socks down her bra. Being ambitious to quit waitressing, she strips.

"Bob Altman put me to work as a waitress at the Nashville airport so I could understand this girl. I got an average of $1.25 a day in tips. I came home so tired every night I soaked my aching feet. One of the waitresses wanted to take me home for dinner to meet her husband and 12 children." "Is it a good film?" "I hate to say this but I haven't seen the film. I don't like to watch myself because it confuses me about myself."

'Ex-Cop' Stripped To His 1 I By The Star City Staff A local radio talk show host has been getting a lot of mileage on his Sunday program with commentary on problems in the police department and acid remarks about the work of The Indianapolis Star to expose corruption. On one occasion the commentator, "Sean Kelly" of WNTS, suggested that he was a former policeman and that a friend of his was writing a book to tell the "truth" a the corruption probe and how it started. ''cooling off" agreement. But pressure upon the school board rose sharply last week with the IEA negotiators' criticism of it.

The board reacted by issuing a state- ment challenging the accuracy of comments by the IEA. It is Interesting to note that the mediator, assigned to the negotiations by the Indiana Education Employment Relations Board, says that, to her recollection, it was an IEA negotiator who first proposed using the term "cooling off" to describe the two-week halt in the negotiations. She had no comment about the IEA's actions. Jail Stew Leads To Big Beef Marion County Police Department Lt. Carl Cam- bridge has a favorite dish, the beef stew which is served frequently at the county jail.

"I've tried to make stew that tastes as good and so has my wife, but it never comes out right. I gave up trying. I kept asking the jail cooks how they did it and all I got was smiles.

There are also bright prospects for marked improvement in the quality of nursing homes that may take the horror out of being confined in one and make of them a more pleasant place to spend one's final days. happening, so does nothing," said Dr.

Shore. "SO, WHAT DO WE DO to communicate with the deaf person?" he asked. To begin with, he cautioned one should always face the person to whom one is speaking. It is also important, he said, that the lighting be good so he can see your face and perhaps read your lips. Finally, he listed body language as ultra important.

Body language is the most important of all, as the deaf person will watch your gestures and will note whether you are smiling or grinning, or even if you have a quizzical look on your face. "SPEAK SLOWLY and distinctly," said Dr. Shore, and added, ''above all DON'T SHOUT. It is important that you touch the person to whom you are attempting to talk because when you do he will know you are in communication with him." All of the home's personnel are cautioned, he said and taught on the procedures he advocates of conversing with the deaf. "A nurse never comes from behind a person sitting in a wheel chair and starts pushing him down a hall," he said.

"The nurse faces him first and then pushes the chair, if that is what is intended." MODERATOR of the discussion was Dr. William Westlin, director of Medical Serv-ices of the Sandoz complex of which the East Hanover laboratories is a part. International headquarters are in Basel, Switzerland. "Triangle" is the quarterly publication of Sandoz and is printed in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. In short, Sandoz is going into all angles of the process of aging not for the purpose of extending life as much as for making a happier life for all men and women as they go into a less active period of their life span.

Police Roles Eyed If Welch Wins Supporters of Democratic mayoral nominee Robert V.

Welch are lining up policemen to get ideas on administration of the department if Welch beats Republican contender William H. Hudnut in November. The sessions are being arranged by Pat Traub, an aide to Congressman Andrew Jacobs Jr. (D-Ind.) Traub, a former newsman who did a stint on the police beat, says he is using his own time. The idea right now is to get some policemen mainly patrolmen but also some sergeants and a few others higher-to help Welch develop "issue statements" for the campaign and also ideas on how the police department should be run, should he get the chance to run it Those men selected for the meetings will be eyed by their peers to see who might get what role in the department if Welch steps in and names a new chief, For Your Eyes Only is an interesting contrast in the spending levels for out-of-session staff in the Indiana House of Representatives and Senate this year, compared with 1973 The Senate, under President Pro Tempore Phillip had a May payroll this year of $13,710, compared with $11,095 two years earlier Ah but the House crew of Speaker Phillip E.

Balnbridee m-Hitrh. These were the principal developments of an all-day workshop recently sponsored by Sandoz in its impressive campus at East Hanover, New Jersey, for the benefit of a group of writers. HEADING THE DISCUSSION was Dr. Herbert H. Shore, executive vice-president of the Dallas Home for Jewish Aged, an institution with 178 residents and 47 others living in separate quarters on the grounds.

Dr. Shore has been associated with it since 1953 and before that was assistant director of the Drexel Home in Chicago. Dr. Shore started his discussion with the announcement that there is a gradual loss in the average person's hearing starting at about age 20. He places a higher importance on that than he does loss of eyesight.

"We always have great compassion for the blind person," he said, "but very little for the hard of hearing, principally because we are often not aware of it." He added that loss of hearing affects 30 per cent more men than women. (Perhaps they get tired of listening.) "A person knows when his sight is failing and makes frequent trips to an eye doctor for corrective lenses. But the one who is going deaf does not usually realize what is Itl llT UArilAltACII JOHN W. SWEEZY I DANIELS confirmed Bu-len's statement that he and the mayor now are noncon-versant. He said he thinks that last time Lugar and his former political adviser had any dis-c i was "about last Christmastime" (1974).

"I would not call it a rift," Daniels said, "it is more like a d-r-i-f-t." Daniels said the word "rift" would indicate bitterness or malice. "It certainly is not that way at all," the Lugar aide said. BULEN SAYS there is nothing seriously wrong be-' tween himself and Sweezy. He describes Tiis break with Lugar as "just one of those things." Sweezy also was favored by Bulen in May, 1972, when Bulen gave np the county chairman's job to concentrate on being 11th District chairman and national committeeman for Indiana. Known as a "nuts and bolts" technician, Sweezy is quiet, unassuming and avoids the publicity spotlight.

He has held only a handful of press conferences since he became chairman. PERSONNEL within the organization has changed noticeably since the Sweezy takeover in May, 1972. For example, 98 of about 151 area chairmen, ward chairmen and ward vice-chairmen have changed about a 65 per cent turnover. And about 800 of about 1,400 precinct committeemen and vice-committeemen have changed. Sweezy said "a few" of the ward chairmen were "forced out" because of incompetence or laziness.

A political organization renews -itself constantly," he explained, "through attrition in deaths, age, moving, dissatisfaction and some just call it quits." HE SAID most of his appointees" to fill vacancies at the ward and precinct levels have been "in their 30s or 40s, the involved age where people care." Sweezy said there currently are 27 precincts in which there are no precinct committeemen or vice-commit-teeman, and another 100 precincts which are short either a vice-committeeman, or a' committeeman, but not both. Marion County has 704 precincts. Asked to analyze the candidacy of Democratic mayor 3 You Can't Fool A Fooler a P. R. man for former Marion County Republican chairman L.

Keith Bulen. P. J. never was a policeman, although he once carried a pistol until told to cut it out, and he recently has been in business-selling sound equipment to police departments in a company of which former Police Chief Winston L. Churchill is an officer.

Of course that doesn't constitute a conflict of interest with his independent "Sean Kelly" role, does it? In case you're interested, one Republican source says P. J. also was "The Phoenix," the pseudonomnous columnist for a local weekly paper who churned out silly editorials suggesting everything about the police department is political. 'Young Man' Still In Line For Job It's all in the realm of speculation, but more than a few tongues are wagging about the possibility of Franklin attorney and former GOP State Senator James B. Young withdrawing his name for consideration as United States Attorney for the Southern District of Indiana.

And, those doing the talking say Jim Young may switch places with another Young (no relation) Johnson Circuit Judge Robert Young if plans materialize. The judge hasn't been feeling well of late, say insiders, and may step down from the bench by the end of the year. Jim Young, whose name long ago was placed in nomination for the hot seat formerly occupied by Stanley L. Miller, has had some health problems in the past and may be giving second thoughts to whether he would prefer the relatively slower pace as a county circuit judge over that where intense daily pressures are present. 'Expert' Sees Red In Murder Trial The police department has a novel kind of expert on blood identification or at least that is what a detective tried to show last week from the witness stand.

The detective, testifying in the preliminary stages of a murder trial, said he analyzed the blood spots on a suspected murder weapon and compared them with the blood samples taken from the victim. "How did you know they matched?" asked the defense lawyer. "I looked at them and saw they were the same," said the detective. "What did your comparison show?" continued the lawyer. "They were both said the detective.

IEA Denies 'Cooling Off Violation A "cooling off" period of two weeks was agreed to at the last teacher contract negotiation session by negotiators for both the Indianapolis Board of School Commissioners and the Indianapolis Education Association (IEA), bargaining agent for teachers. The mediator, Barbara Doring of Lafayette, suggested the two-week period to give the negotiators a chance to reassess the positions of the board and IEA, since negotiations are stalled.

The period continues through Thursday, but IEA negotiators have launched the topic of negotiations into the public arena, making critical comments about the board's position in the negotiations.
