Indiana GOP Central Group Will Meet Thursday INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Members of the Indiana State Republican Central Committee will meet here Thursday to decide whether to demand vote recounts in certain election contests in Indiana. But chairman Edwin W. Bea-man said Monday that "unless we get more money," a recount request is out of the question "Our financial condition is not good," he said, "We can't carry on a recount unless our finances are in better shape. Each county had a quota to meet for campaign costs and many of them have not paid Beaman said the meeting will concern not only a re-hash of the election but also will involve future planning by the committee Secretary of State John R.

Walsh. a Democrat, also has a Droblem with the election results. By close of work Monday, 17 county -clerks had not submitted vote tabulations, as required by law. Included in the missing counties were Lake, Marion. Vanderburgh and Delaware, all large industrial areas.

Telephone calls were made by Walsh's staff to all tardy county clerks to remind them the state law requires such reports be made by midnight Monday Walsh said some of the clerks said they already had placed their reports in the mail, )but that others said it would not be possible to do so before Tuesday. Walsh estimated that it might be Wednesday before an official tabulation will be completed by his office. The tabulations will include results for state, congressional, leg islative and judical races. Meanwhile, the Vanderburgh county grand jury today was scheduled to investigate alleged absentee ballot irregulartities. Prosecutor O.

H. Roberts said an investigation by his office uncovered irregularities in both parties' handling of such ballots. Commander and Mrs. Paul Hid- ding and daughter of Arlington, arrived this evening to visit Mrs. Walter Neible.

At first, it was reported one of the men apparently had been a fall guy for a practical joker. But an intensive check by the FBI led to the arrest of the pair. SACAMENTO, Calif. (UPI) Vice President Richard M.

Nixon today pulled within 24,000 Votes of taking California away from President-elect John F. Kennedy. With about 25 per cent of California's 230,000 absentee ballots counted, Nixon clipped 11,388 votes off Kennedy's narrow lead. The absentees brought Nixons overall total in California to 3,119,364 votes compared to 3,143,431 for Kennedy.

Kennedy added almost 2,000 votes to his slim Illinois lead Monday night, but Republicans demanded a recount of the Chicago votes which swung the state. Kennedy's Illinois margain climbed to 6,914 votes on the basis of returns from the last 13 precincts left uncounted in unofficial tabulations and canvassing reports from 59 counties in downstage communities outside Chicago. With all 10,015 Illinois precincts counted, plus the canvassing revisions of the unofficial tabulations, it was Kennedy in Illinois by votes to 2,367,870 for Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Republicans had hoped the canvass in traditionally Republican downstate counties would carve a heavy slice out of Kennedy's Illinois margin and perhaps reverse the ownership of the state's 27 electoral votes.

Instead, the first downstate canvasses added 1,720 votes to Kennedy's column and the Cook County precincts, most of them traditionally Democratic, added 271 more for a total increase of 1,991. Republicans had high hopes, however, for a recount of the top-heavy Cook County vote. They charged that the Cook County Democratic machine stole Illinois for Kennedy by getting at least 100,000 fraudulent votes counted. Accordingly, formal petitions were filed Monday with a recount of the presidential vote in Cook County, along with a recount of a hotly contested election for the office of state's attorney. Democrats retaliated with charges that the downstate recanvassses showed voting irregularities weight ed on the Republicans side.

They said any Cook Countv should be part of a statewide re- tabulation.

of England shot up more than 50 per cent today as the result of a bid for complete ownership by the Ford Motor Co. of Detroit. Shares of British Ford closed Monday night at about $11.94. Then the Detroit firm announced it would offer $20.50 for outstanding shares. This morning the stock opened at $19.25.

Although such a move was ru mored earlier this year, the action caught London stockbrokers by surprise. Ford of Detroit already owns 54.6 per cent of the total British Ford stock. It would cost $363 million dollars for it to purchase the remaining outstanding shares at its offering price. The deal would constitute the largest dollar takeover in British industrial history. It first must win the approval of the Queen i meaning the British Treasury Ford of Detroit said its objec tive was "oibtain greater operation- i i Tr al flexibility and enable us to co- i ordinate our European and Ameri- ordinate our European and Ameri- can manufacturing facilities." If it goes through, Britains two largest auto manufactures will be entirely American-owned.

Capt. James MaMahon, chief of detectives, said several similarities were noted between the slayings of Gloria Kowalewic2, 9, Chicago, and Nancy Eagleson, 14, of Paulding, O.

"Have we got a killer traveling cross-conutry? McMahon wondered aloud before reporters. McMahon said he checked with Sheriff John Keeler at Paulding by telephone about the two slayings. Both noted the likeness of the two atrocities, McMahon said. The similarities in both cases. McMahon said, included The abduction.

Gloria apparently was seized by a man as she walked to church Saturday. Nancy was grabbed by a man in an auto as she and her sister walked home from a movie Sunday The death scene. Gloria's body as found in a wooded arpa. a fnr- was found in a wooded area, a for est preserve southwest of Chicago, lying in ravine about 100 feet from a road. Nancy's body was found in a desolate wooded area about 100 feet from a county road.

The cause of death. Gloria was shot in the head twice with a weapon believed to be of either 32 or .38 caliber. Nancy also was shot in the head, but the caliber of the weapon wasn't immediately known. Despite the similarities. McMa- hone said there wasn't enough evidence presently to warrant sending a Chicago detective to Ohio.

But McMahon emphasized that if Keel er ever has a suspect, the Chicago Police Department will waste no time in sending a man to Pauldinir to assist In the questioning.
