FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 197g THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR PAGE 12 OVERHEAD COSTS HIDDEN v' fir Auditors Suggest New System To Compute City Garage Bills make up the remainder. THEY ARE BILLED according to percentage of usage. Clifford Chandler, chief of the city's internal audit section, said a survey of the billing procedures by the garage, operated by the city's Department of Public Works, reveals that noone is certain how much of the charges assessed the various departments is for direct service to vehicles and how much is for overhead. A more accountable system of computing charges for city departments using the Municipal Garage has been recommended by the city's internal audit team. Each city department using the garage is billed for services, plus any overhead costs needed to keep the garage open 24 hours every day.

Because of its large fleet of vehicles, the Indianapolis Police Department uses 95 per cent of the garage services and other departments Retired Police Chief, Official To Surrender TWO CATHOLIC PRIESTS WITH PARENTS OF ANNEUESE MICHEL Fathers Ernst Alt And Arnold Renz; Anna And Josef Michel Overhead includes "down time" the time the garage staff does not have any direct vehicle maintenance work but does other maintenance chores such as sweeping the garage or pumping gas. Other overhead includes salaries for garage employees who are not mechanics and for utility bills and tools. Chandler said it is not fair to the departments billed by the garage to be unable to figure out how much is for direct vehicle maintenance service and how much for the other garage expenses. A FAILURE to spell out overhead charges also makes it hard to determine the efficiency of the garage operation, he pointed out. Some city policemen have complained that the city's Department of Public Safety, whose budget includes the city police, has received extremely high service bills, including ones as high as $50 for oil changes.

Chandler criticized widely fluctuating overhead estimates, caused by sporadic service demands, that lead to such $50 estimates for oil changes. During slow times, the oil change estimate would be higher to pick up overhead costs. These bills are only estimates. The exact amount spent by the garage is computed quarterly and charged to the departments on the basis of percentage of usage. The garage is on a cash flow basis, and its only source of income is from the city departments using it.

The estimated bills are sent to the departments each month so the garage will have money to spend. Any overcharging or undercharging is adjusted in the quarterly billing to make the actual charges to the departments reflect actual garage expenses. IT HOMI Alt IPOT Plainfield, Ind. A retired Plainfield police chief and a former Plainfield police commissioner are expected to surrender today in connection with indictments returned by a Hendricks County Grand Jury, informed sources confirmed Thursday. Retired Plainfield Police Chief Lee E.

Miller and former commissioner Charles R. Danner were indicted March 16. But their names and charges have remained a secret because the grand jury returned sealed indictments. Miller retired Jan. 1, citing health reasons.

Danner resigned in September after policemen in the department re He added: "If I were in the same situation again today, I wouldn't change the way I acted." Defense lawyer Erich Schmidt-Leichner said Miss Michel had refused medical help because of her "strong will based on religious beliefs." The court dismissed a defense motion challenging the Indictment on grounds that it violated constitutionally guaranteed freedom of belief and religion. Miss Michel's father, testifying before the court, denied that he and his wife were responsible for their daughter's death. Speaking in the heavy Bavarian accent of his borne region, he said they had always known no doctor could cure her. "We laid her into the hands of God," he said, insisting that the family was being prosecuted for their "faith in God" in "a trial that we cannot understand."

Then it would be possible to add on and identify overhead charges.

He stressed that he sees nothing illeg al in the way garage costs are appor tioned among departments. Donald R. McPherson, executive assistant to the mayor, said the administration is studying proposals to make the municipal garage responsible for service on more of the city's vehicles. Presently, some Uni-Gov departments have their own garages, such as Parks and Trans Donation. This would reduce overhead costs by cutting the times when no vehi cle maintenance is being done.

Lowry, director of the De partment of Public Safety, said he does not feel the police department is getting cheated by the garage, but feels the garage could be operated more efficient ly to reduce overhead. offer, which we rejected by an 83 percent vote, Is the final one they will make." The unions' master contract with Disneyland expired Feb. 28 but was extended through the end of the month while bargaining continued. No new talks were scheduled.

Contract talks between Disneyland and seven local unions representing ticket takers, ride operators, bakers, wardrobe and costuming personnel, janitors and parking lot attendants, have broken down and an extention of their present contract expires at midnight April 1.

"The negotiations have completely broken down and hopes for preventing a strike don't look good at this time," said Bob Gable, secretary-treasurer of Retail Clerks Local 324.

The new drug dissolves blood clots in the lungs and is administered by vein over a 12-hour period. It treats pulmonary embolism more effectively than anticoagulants and without surgery, Abbott officials said. The drug abbokinase is being distributed to 45 hospitals throughout the United States for prompt treatment of acute cases of pulmonary embolism, vice-president Milton Henrichs said.

Both men had been indicted in 1976 by an earlier Hendricks County Grand Jury on a charge of theft of a handgun, which was evidence in a suicide.

Both indictments were dropped in 1977 because of a technicality. Since the charges were dismissed, prosecutor Seth B. Lewis has said he would refile the charges but has not. The most recent grand jury also returned a 15-count indictment against the chief probation officer of Hendricks Circuit Court. ing to have the treatment resumed.

Doctors say the boy could die within six months if chemotherapy is not resumed on a regular basis. The parents objected to Judge Volterra allowing "visiting nurses" to see the boy. But the judge said he wanted the situation "policed" because of the serious nature of the case. The order is an interim action pending the results of Judge Vol terra's decision on whether parents have the right to withhold traditional medical treatments in favor of their own. JUDGE VOLTERRA told lawyers for the parents and Massachusetts General Hospital to file briefs Friday based on a November, 1977, state Supreme Court decision that judges may decide if life-prolonging treatments should be continued in certain cases.

"This is a very important case," the judge said. Judge Volterra said he made the decision based on the testimony of six witnesses, including three medical witnesses "of the highest reputation." have also objected because the proposal does not include the 2 million Palestinians living in other Arab countries. OTHERWISE, there has been no change in the rejection by Begin's government of Egypt's demands that Israel withdraw from all Arab territory occupied in the 1967 war and that it dismantle approximately 100 Jewish settlements established in the occupied territories. The semi-official Cairo newspaper Al Ahram said the Israeli cabinet's decision to send Weizman to Cairo reflected a policy that is "swinging between placing obstacles and a pretense of pursuing peace efforts." "Begin will not trick anyone but himself," the paper said in an editorial. "Let Weizman come to Cairo and (Foreign Minister Moshe) Dayan go to Washington.

But the outcome is the only thing that counts." Begin's policies were bolstered Wednesday by a two-to-one endorsement in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, following a 7i-hour debate on his refusal to give ground to Carter in Washington last week. MR. CARTER said in Brasilia: "I think that Prime Minister Begin and his government are able to negotiate in an adequately flexible way to reach an agreement with Egypt and later Jordan and other countries." He denied earlier reports in Washington and Jerusalem that the U.S. government would like to see Begin replaced because peace prospects would be better without him. ni.i.

center site To Be Revealed (C) Y. TIMIS NlWt SIRVICa New York Mayor Edward I. Koch will announce soon that he has decided to build New York City's long-sought convention center at West 34th Street between Eleventh and Twelfth Avenues, knowledgeable city officials said Thursday. While final details for the project are still being worked out, the West 34th Street site apparently won out over the alternative of building the center at West 44th Street on the Hudson River because officials believe it could be built more quickly at the 34th Street location. Deputy Mayor David W.

Brown testified before the City Council's Committee on Economic Development that Koch was confident the state government could be persuaded to share both the construction and the operating costs of the convention center on a 50-50 basis. Brown also said the city was still hoping to raise the money to build the center outside its regular capital budget, through the sale of Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority Bonds. Cost estimates for the center are now being developed. Priest Continued From Page 1 her of "demons" they believed were possessing her after four years of unsuccessful treatment for epilepsy.

DESCRIBING HER as a "very serious-minded and religiously balanced girl" who was not excessively pious, Alt asserted: "She never play-acted the role of one possessed." He said she told him she felt as if she were "in a hole," "not in the center of her being." She felt plagued by a "feeling of damnation" and often saw "horrible faces" or smelted a "smell of burning," he said.

Father Renz recorded the demon-ridding sessions, adding commentary, and played excerpts during a 1976 television interview broadcast soon after Miss Michel died. Astounded German viewers heard what sounded like a hoarse voice, shouting and at times cursing. Renz said in the interview the voice was that of Miss Michel but it was being used by demons inside her body to protest the exorcism. NAZI DICTATOR Hitler was one of the demons, he said, explaining it identified itself by shouting "Sieg Heil!" The others were Lucifer, false apostle Judas, Roman Emperor Nero, biblical fraticide Cain and a defrocked priest named "Fleischmann," he said. 3788 goes on 3752 Our of Deposit "That's right.

(UPI) A Superior Court judge late Thursday ordered chemotherapy immediately resumed for 2-year-old Chad Green, whose parents are opposed to the treatment for their leukemia-stricken son. Plymouth Superior Court Judge Guy Volterra issued an order placing the boy under the temporary custody of the children's division of the state Department of Public Welfare for medical purposes only. Under the terms of the order the boy remain at home with Gerald and Diane Green of Scituate.

But "visiting nurses" will be allowed to see the boy to make sure he is getting the outpatient treatments at Massachusetts General Hospital. THE PARENTS are opposed to chemotherapy and claim they can take better care of the child on a diet of organic food and distilled water. They claim the boy is physically and emotionally harmed by the treatments. The couple stopped taking their son to the hospital last January. The hospital in its suits against the parents are attempt Cairo Continued From Page 1 percent of the estimated 11,000 guerrillas in south Lebanon.

The militants reject coexistence with the Jewish state and say the Israelis must be forced out to make way for a Palestinian homeland. PFLP guerrillas at an outpost north of Israeli lines told reporters Thursday they had no orders to cease firing and were lobbing 200-300 mortar rounds a day at Israeli positions. Weizman flew to Cairo Thursday. He was met by Egyptian War Minister Mohammed Abdel Ghani Gamassy and they went by helicopter to Sadat's villa. Sadat, Weizman, Gamassy, Egyptian Vice President Hosny Mubarak and an Israeli aide attended the meeting.

AFTERWARD, Weizman and aides took a helicopter back to the Tahra Palace in a Cairo suburb for more consultation with Egyptian officials. Egyptian sources said Weizman was spending the night in Cairo. Weizman's meeting with Sadat was the first direct contact between Egypt and Israel since the defense minister's last visit here Feb. 1. He was Israeli's chief delegate in negotiations on Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Desert.

Weizman was preceded by a letter from Begin to Sadat two days ago urging him to come up with new responses to Israeli peace proposals and calling on him to reactivate the joint committees created in December. Only one significant change has been reported in Israel's proposals, however. It is an offer to let the Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip participate in negotiations on their future with Israel, Egypt and Jordan. That is a long way from the full self-determination demanded by Sadat, and Egyptian officials Moro Continued From Page 1 Brigades let Sossl go after Italian authorities told them they would release imprisoned members of the gang but the release never took place. MEMBERS of Moro's ruling Christian Democratic Party expressed concern about a passage in his letter that said he might be forced by the Red Brigades to reveal "unpleasant and dangerous" information if the government does not cooperate.

The Christian Democrats have ruled Italy alone or in coalition for the past three decades and have been at the center of numerous scandals, including allegations of receiving payoffs from the CIA and the Lockheed Aircraft Corp. Politicians have speculated the Red Brigades may use Moro as a hostage to demand freedom for the gang's founder, Renato Curcio, and other group members currently on trial in Turin, includes previous The DEEGAN J1922W 19" diagonal Chromacolor I Decorator Compact Table TV.
