PAGE 6 THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR MONDAY. OCTOBER 3. 1977 3 SYSTEMS ftlAY CLOSE Oliio Schools In Trouble i Columbus. Ohio (AP) Three of Ohio's five biggest school systems mdy run out of money and be forced to close this month. At least 35 other smaller districts also face financial crises.

Unless more money is available in time, upwards of 20 per cent of the state's 2.1 million public school students could be out of school for the year before Christmas. Toledo, with 53,000 students, is slated to end classes for the year Oct. 28, after only 38 school days this fall. Voters have rejected the last four tax increase proposals and the district has a deficit of nearly $7 million. A tax i request forthe Nov.

8 election has not yet been set and depending on whether voters approve local school tax issues before the money runs out. Superintendent Paul W. Briggs of Cleveland says the system had depended on the legislature for authority to borrow $15 million to $20 million to get through this year. But legislators squabbled over details of the legislation and quit for the week without acting. "THE WORD we have is that the leaders will probably call the legislature back next week to consider the bill," Briggs said.

The bill, tailored for Cleveland schools, also has aspects affecting a number of smaller districts. It would allow those which pass a new school tax this fall to borrow immediately on the new income that won't be collected until after Jan. 1. Briggs said Cleveland, which has a school property tax rate of about $40 per every $1,000 valuation, will have severe problems by the middle of the month. The district is due about $8 million from a state aid program which can't be paid until late November.

"Our problem is to hold out that long," Briggs said. Dayton, with an enrollment of 37,800, has a tax rate of 40 mills, the same as Cleveland's. Voters in June rejected a 6-mill increase and the district is resubmitting it next month. without additional money the schools could not open until after the first of the year. CLEVELAND, with 110,000 students, and Cincinnati, with 68,000 students, are at the brink of joining Toledo in the shutdown.

School, officials at Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Dayton say the cost of compliance with court orders to integrate, coupled with voter rejection of school tax issues, has contributed to their financial headaches.

"We still have hopes that Ann is alive and we can get her back," she said.

MISS HARMEIER qualifies in all those respects, police said. "It would be coincidental but highly likely Miss Harmeier could have joined the Moonies," Sgt. Gastineau said.

Moonies are known to have enlisted members by picking them up along southern Indiana highways and encouraging them to spend a three-day weekend during which they will "discover how to make a better world and how they can be a part of it." It is only after prospective Moonies are indoctrinated and "brainwashed" that they are told they have become members of the religious cult run by Korean entrepreneur Sun Myung Moon, former Moonies explain. MISS HARMEIER was close to her family and minister, the Rev. Rose C. Taul of Cambridge City Presbyterian Church, and has few close friends, facts which lead police to believe she might have been swayed easily, Sgt. Gastineau said.

Her close friends were from high school days rather than from I.U., he said. "We have no concrete evidence on any aspect of Miss Harmeier's disappearance," Gastineau said, adding that he and other police investigating the case were growing "frustrated and worn out that we haven't yet found a direction in which to look. "WE KEEP HOPING something will break and keep hoping that she has met with some fate other than death." Marjorie Harmeier, the missing student's mother, and the Rev. Miss Taul said Sunday night they were "very happy" the state police are investigating Miss Harmeier's possible connection with the Unification Church. "It's very possible Ann could have joined because she has all the qualities the Moonies look for, and they could have picked her up along the highway," the Rev.

EAST STORE ONLY OPEN SUNDAY 12-5 Shannon, Ireland (AP) Fire broke out in an engine of a jetliner carrying 250 Americans as it was taxiing to take off here late Sunday, airport authorities reported.

The pilot managed to bring the jet to a stop, but 24 passengers were injured escaping. The officials said most of the people on the plane were women and came from Texas and Oklahoma. The DC8 on charter from Capitol Airways was bound for Dallas, via Hartford, Conn. A SPOKESMAN for Shannon International Airport said the plane was building up speed down the runway when one of the engines caught fire, and 'the pilot "managed to brake just before takeoff." "The aircraft was on the verge of takeoff when he realized the engine was on fire," he said. "If the plane had actually left the ground many people could have been killed." About 10 of the injured passengers broke or injured their ankles as they left the plane by emergency chutes.

The other injured persons received bumps and bruises as they rush.ed to the chutes. The injured passengers were taken to hospitals. to refuel carrying tourists back to the United States from an eight-day visit to Rome. The passengers included many elderly people and some children. Officials said the blazing engine threatened the plane's fuel tanks and a full-scale emergency was declared at the airport.

Airport firemen fought the blaze as rescuers rushed the passengers to safety. The cause of the fire was not immediately known. Roy Davis, a 61-year-old store manager from San Antonio, said everything appeared to be normal as the plane prepared to take off. "ALL OF A SUDDEN we felt a big pulling back and the engine seemed to go into reverse as if the captain was making an emergency effort to stop. "There was no panic but suddenly we saw flames shooting up." The uninjured passengers were taken to hotels near the airport, about 130 miles from the Irish capital of Dublin.
