JT STATS (OUT New Albany, Ind. The president of Kentucky Liquid Recycling Inc. doesn't plan to comply with a court order to remove hazardous chemical wastes from a warehouse here by a court-ordered deadline today. In Floyd Superior Court, Special Judge Scott T. Miller of Harrison-Crawford Circuit Court Wednesday gave the firm 48 hours to begin removing the chemicals from a warehouse in an industrial-residential section of this Ohio River community, in accordance with a Drevi- ous court order.

If the firm does not comply with Miller's instructions, the judge said he will give city officials the authority to remove the chemicals and to bill the recycling firm for the expense. But the firm's president, Donald E. Distler of Louisville, who did not attend the hearing Wednesday, said he cannot meet the deadline. LEWIS A. Endres, attorney for the New Albany Zoning Appeals Board, said Thursday that the firm still has made no move to comply with the court's order.

According to James M. Hunt, coordinator of the State Board of Health's liquid industrial waste hauling program, the warehouse contains more than 40,000 gallons of the chemicals, including flammable industrial solvents and tn-chlorethylene, which produces toxic gas when burned. The chemicals came from a number of industries which had contracted with Kentucky Liquid Recycling for waste disposal, said Hunt, who testified for the city. Some of it might have been stored in about 100 metal drums in large tanks for more than a year, he added. Hunt said he is not sure what is in some of the drums at the warehouse.

THESE findings resulted in a March 29, 1979, injunction by Miller prohibiting Distler from storing chemicals at the site here. City officials asked for the con- City Man Sentenced On Conviction Tied To Strike Incident Wallace R. Blessing, 54, 6414 Castle Avenue, Thursday was sentenced to six months' probation, ordered to pay partial restitution of $750 and court costs and received a suspended sentence of 180 days at the Indiana State Farm on a malicious-mischief conviction. The charge stemmed from an incident on Sept. 6, 1979, when Blessing allegedly threw a brick through the windshield of an auto driven by Robert E.

Plummer, 38, Southport, during a strike at the Indiana Farm Bureau Cooperative Association's warehouse complex at 2435 Kentucky Avenue. Blessing was a striking member of Teamsters' Local 135 during the incident. Plummer is president of Detectors, a security agency that was protecting the premises when the incident occurred. Fragments of glass lodged in Plum-mer's eyes, forcing him to seek hospital treatment, according to his attorney, Ann Wilcox. The sentence was handed down by Municipal Court, Room 6, Judge Richard E.

Sallee. Blessing was found euilty by Sallee on Dec. 26, 1979. 'Confrontation' Ends With Fatal Shooting Shelby C. Spinks, 33, 4442 Bertha Street, was shot fatally about 5:30 p.m.
