Mr. Eubank was a 71 -year member of Tuxedo Park Baptist Church, where he had been a trustee and a member of the board of deacons.

Mr. Eubank was a 1921 graduate of the Indianapolis School of Pharmacy. Memorial contributions may be made to Tuxedo Park Baptist Church and the St.

to 9 p.m. Friday. Mr. Eubank had owned and operated several pharmacies, including one near Methodist Hospital at 15th Street and Capitol Avenue. He also had managed the Haag Drug Store at 22nd and Meridian streets, one of the city's first 24-hour drugstores.

He retired from the pharmacy business In 1948, then founded Eubank Roofing and Siding. During the 1960s, Mr. Eubank established the first camping trailer business in the Indianapolis area and displayed the first folding camper shown at the Indianapolis Boat, Sport and Travel Show. In 1971. he received the Presidents ference Wednesday, said his administration and its appointees at Metro are doing something about that reliance.

His evidence: a 1993 Metro budget proposal that, unlike most of its predecessors, Includes no increase In property taxes. Metro officials will present the proposal this afternoon to the Municipal Corporations Committee of the City-County Council. The property tax subsidy In Metro's operating budget will remain at $6.4 million. The subsidy In a separate, smaller capital budget will drop slightly from last year. Goldsmith credited the reduction to efficiency measures his new management team has Implemented, including a recent auction of surplus equipment that raised more than $236,000.

He blamed the loss of riders partially on fare increases. "The cost to passengers is up remarkably, and the number of passengers Is, not surprisingly, down," he said. But Metro's overtures to the lower-Income population it sees Helen Cromer, former IPS teacher candidate worries GOP as Its most likely clientele proba bly will not include fare reduc tions, says the system's new general manager, Ted Rleck. "We're going to concentrate more on how we package our services, he said, adding that the new system may not Include as many bus routes with Down town destinations. "The traffic needs of the economically disadvantaged may not be Downtown.

To provide the kind of services they need, we may need to concentrate on the suburban areas where they can reach more Job opportunities." In addition, Goldsmith and Metro officials cited their previously announced plans to contract with private companies for those firms to provide transportation for the disabled. By contracting, the system can double such services without increasing Its costs, said E. Mitchell Roob, the city's transportation director. But Goldsmith added that the city has only begun to address Metro's problems. "What we have is a system that was, and frankly remains, in serious trouble." swastika ad," Mittendorf said.

He was referring to a television ad Bailey will begin airing next month that likens abortion to the Nazi Holocaust. State GOP Chairman Rex Early said he wrote Bailey after the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith called the ads Insensitive and manipulative. Bailey said Tuesday that the references to Nazi concentration camps were not intended to offend Jews. "People cannot accuse me of not telling them what I believe," said Bailey. criticized by commission members.

Under the bill, initial filing fees for civil lawsuits, divorces, trusts and guardianships would increase to $125 from $55. Divorced couples who want to modify custody or visitation orders and cannot agree on the terms would have to pay $125 each time they return to court. Currently, they do not have to pay anything for returning to court. "To more than double some of these fees bothers me a great deal," said Rep. Richard D.

Bray, R-Martinsville. Support for the bill was voiced by many groups Wednesday, including the insurance industry, the Indiana Trial Lawyers Association, the Indiana Defense Lawyers Association and Parents' and Children's Equality an advocacy group non-custodial parents. The commission will consider proposed bill at Its next meeting and could recommend passage to the general assembly. By KEVIN MORGAN 6TAR STAFF WRITER Metro officials hope to Jump-start their troubled bus system by redefining it as a vehicle for the poor and the disabled. The marketing strategy is a shift from advertisements of Metro as an alternative for Downtown commuters frustrated by traffic congestion and parking hassles.

"There's no congestion problem, and there's plenty of parking spaces Downtown," said Dan Cartwright, chairman of the Indianapolis Public Transportation Corp. board that oversees Metro. Metro officials and Mayor Stephen Goldsmith maintain that a flawed marketing strategy has added to the problems of a system already losing riders and relying on property tax subsidies. Since 1985.. Metro's annual number of passengers has dropped from slightly more than 15 million to slightly fewer than 10 million.

During the same period, the system's reliance on property taxes has increased from about $2.5 million to $6.4 million. But Goldsmith, in a news con Anti-abortion i ASSOCIATED PRESS Evansville. Ind.

"We have a lot of good judges and we have some lazy judges, too," said Howard. Court of Appeals Judge John G. Baker, who presented the proposal, responded, "I'm not going to argue with you, and I think we need to replace them." But he also stressed that judges' salaries have been neglected by the legislature for many years, making it harder to attract top-quality lawyers to the bench and keep them. Judges' salaries have not kept pace with inflation since the 1970s and are half as much as federal judges' current salaries. Baker said.

Superior court and circuit court Judges in Indiana are the lowest-paid in the 50 states, according the National Center for State Courts. Rep. Jesse M.
