THE REPUBLIC COLUMBUS; INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20; 197 PAGE TWO TIME Ceco Workers Set Blood Gift Record 1 1 I 1 Jk Louisville office sent only 34 beds, four less than the usual supply, delaying the operation. The previous record of 613 pints, was collected on two different visits to Cummins, in April and Juty of 1970. Irvine said that the record collection was remarkable because of the prevalence of colds and other illnesses during this time of year, which usually decreases the number of eligible donors. All volunteers are checked by nurses and doctors and are not perT mitted to give blood under certain health conditions. Actually, the -volume bill, if signed by Gov.

Edgar D. Whitcomb, compiles all effective state laws into one up-to-date SUPER STACK State Sen. Robert D. Gar-ton, R-Columbus, pats good-bye to a huge stack of state laws approved since 1851 that will be replaced by the neat stack of books, right front, hick-named Super Bill. 1AYNARD (Continued from Page 1.) his trip to California and the movies." In 20 years as an actor and stuift man, Maynard played in over 40Q.Biclu: Returning to Columbus occasionally to visit his parents, Maynard spent three weeks here In 1935, making personal appearances and signing hundreds of autographs for many groups in-eluding classes at Garfield school which he attended.

One clipping in the files of The Evening Republican, now The Republic, recounts how one of 500 hys at a Poys club party in the1- actor's honor appeared a little skeptical about Maynard's talk of stunting following showing of one of his films, "Red Blooded Courage." Maynard then "put on a pair of tennis shoes and leaped from the railing of the balcony to the stage" in the high school auditorium (now Central junior high school). Maynard enjoyed showing rope tricks and answering questions about his work, the clippings' reported. He recounted that his "biggest thrill" had come during the filming of a scene in Montana in which 400 buffaloes were on the run. A smalL young man standing in for the heroine of the picture accidentally fell from his horse when it stumbled while running ahead of the herd. The actor in the path of the herd had no opportunity to run but he managed to stay on his feet, dodging the animals until Maynard, on a horse in the herd, could reach him.

In the episode in which he was injured during the filming of "Northwest Stampede," Maynard had thrown the stunt girl with him to safety, saving her from injury. He wrote to his mother in Columbus that newspapers had made him out to be a "bit of a hero" but that he wasn't because "we just do the best we can for each other when a thing like that comes up." The actor also is survived by his wife, Edith, and a son, William Frederick Maynard, both of North Hollywood. Furnace Motor Causes Smoke Columbus firemen were called to the Herschel Barger residence, 2656 Central avenue, at 7:27 p.m. Tuesday to investigate a reported furnace fire. Upon investigation, firemen located an overheated furnace motor which cailsed the smoke but no fire.

Damage was estimated at $30 by the Columbus fire department. Meanwhile, Columbus firemen were called to 700 block of Union street at 8:09 a.m. today to investigate a burning car. Upon their arrival, firemen located a car with an overheated radiator. No damage was reported.

BB Shot Fired Columbus police were called to 1301 Ninth street at 9:06 p.m. Tuesday after receiving a report from Mrs. Wilma Jones that someone had been shooting at the side of her house. Mrs. Jones had called police from work after receiving a call from her babysitter at the house with her children.

The sitter, un identified, told po5e that she heard a noise like a firecracker and then the shot came through a window. Police reported that the shot was a- BB- and had- been shot through the northeast front window of tre house. No one was hurt in the incident. Youth Flees A 16-year-old Route 3 youth was held in Bartholomew county jail today after fleeing from the county hospital at 4:40 p.m. Tuesday where he was hospitalized the previous night.

He was apprehended by city police and sheriff authorities at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on hospital grounds north of Seventeenth street, according to the sheriff's office. The youth was held in jail under the authority of Circuit Judge William Lienberger who today gave custody of the youth to the county welfare (Continued from Page 1.) week Mr. Harden said his personal inquiries with bankers, labor leaders and industry offi-clafej favored sustaining the Chief complaints with the current timet were from mothers of small children who found it difficult to set their youngsters to bed when it was still light outdoors at nearly 10 p.m., and outdoor movie operators who couldn't start their shows until late at night. The other state representative from Bartholomew, Jackson and Decatur counties, Thomas Hall, D-Medora, also voted to override the veto.

The time question now goes to the Senate, where State Sen. Robert rGarton, R-Columbus, reported himself still uncertain how he will vote. The Senate vote on the issue is expected to be much closer than in the House. An ironic note concerning the entire time question was the fact that the clock in the House chamber was out of order and read 1:27 p.m. when the lawmakers finally voted on the veto decision at 4:27 p.m.

In other legislative action A joint House-Senate com-m i te on environment met Tuesday morning with propo nents or a 31-page bill that would create a powerful state environment agency. State Rep. Ralph R. Heine, R-Columbia City, expressed doubts about the proposed Environment Management act. He said the rural areas "have the most to lose.

Supporters of the bill disagreed and said the board to determine the suitability of various environmental areas will consist of professionals, not politicians. Tuesday's meeting was designed to outline the bill to House and Senate committee members, while further committee hearings are set for later in the session. State Sen. Robert Sheaffer, R-Shelbyville, told The Republic he is co-sponsoring two bills he feels are "badly needed." One bill would repeal the full crew bill, which requires interstate trains traveling through Indiana to add one extra crew member. Terming it the "excess crew bill," Mr.

Sheaffer said Indiana and North Carolina are the only states still enforcing this law. Meanwhile, the Republican senator said he would also support a bill to establish definite guidelines for the governor's reaction to passed legislation that awaits either his signature or veto. State Sen. Marshall P. Kizer, D-Plymouth, is author of the bill to obligate the governor to act on bills presented him.

Basically, the bill gives the governor seven than three days to act on a "bill. However, the bill states that proposed legislation will go into effect if the governor does not "get the bill back to the legislature on the first day after he has had his seven days to act." The proposed change would require the governor to return the bill during a business day of the legislative session. State Sen. Earl Wilson, R-Bed-ford, said Tuesday his agriculture committee is not expected to have too much major legislation this session. One proposal expected to come from his committee is the registration of livestock weighing personnel at stockyards and other locations where livestock is sold.

"I believe this bill would guarantee a fair weight of all the livestock sold," said Mr. Wilson, whose district includes Jackson county. "Actually, my chief concern this year will be with education." he continued. in an- evolution in education and I think we have some good things awaiting action In this session of the legislature." Many legislators have expressed satisfaction with the new procedure of having com-m i 1 1 meetings during the morning hours and the general legislative sessions in the afternoon. For the past several sessions, most general legislative sessions were conducted in, the morning with the committee meetings in the afternoon.

Mr. Hall said preferred the morning committee meeting schedule. He said most of his committee meetings begin at 8 a.m. Cambodians Run Out of Grenades SAIGON (UPI) -Communist troops entrenched in bunkers on the steep slopes of Pich Nil' Pass on Cam- bodia's Route 4 threw back weramenrtttackerftodayr-The Cambodians rah out of hand grenades and U.S. napalm strikes were ordered to try to burn them out.

Resignation Of Teachers Announced In other business at Monday night's meeting of the board of the Bartholomew Consolidated school corporation The board approved a request by Carl Buffenbarger, director of buildings and grounds, to attend a school maintenance seminar in Chicago, 111., April 5-7.

Can't Tell by Sticker Color Vehicle inspection law violations can not definitely be determined on the basis sticker color, contrary to an article pub lished Tuesday in The Republic. The article stated that police could spot the law violators if the inspection sticker was another color besides white.

Actually, only those cars scheduled for inspection since Jan. 1 would have white stickers. If the car was inspected in June of 1970, for instance, the sticker is gpod through June of this year, and would be the orange sticker for 1970. The sticker issued upon inspection this June would then be white. A white sticker, however, should clearly indicate to a police office that the inspection is current.

He said that for the first time, lawyers, legislators and others who need to refer to Indiana law on any one subject can find it easily.

He said the way will be opened in the future to data retrieval of all law on any subject in a matter of seconds. In the House bipartisan speakers also explained the value of the compilation. Rep. James T. Robison, R-Frankfort, said it would "aid the Legislature in preparing meaningful legislation and will be a solid base for future legislation." Rep.

Richard J. Lesniak, D-East Chicago, minority caucus chairman, said the compilation was an appropriate first bill to pass the 1971 Legislature which "received a mandate from the people of Indiana to provide a modern form of government." Immediate objects of the delay in further passage of legislation, pending the governor's signature on Superbill were the eight 1969 bills on which Whit-comb's veto was overridden in one chamber Tuesday. The action on the 21 remaining bills from the 64 Whitcomb vetoed two years ago was stopped midway so they Would not become law during the hiatus between passage of Superbill and its emergence as the sole body of law. The House bill that would exempt Indiana from the federal daylight savings law had top interest. The House over-rode Whitcomb's 1969 veto by a vote of 61-36.

This was one of the most controversial vetoes among all the bills killed by the governor after the 1969 Legislature. In the Senate, the big interest came on a second consecutive 25-25 tie vote on a bill appropriating $25,000 to the State Board of Health for construction of a special state facility for the multi-handicapped. Whitcomb had vetoed it for lack of funds to finance the project. Folz again broke the tie, as he had the day before on a parochial school aid bill, to uphold Whitcomb's veto. Pension Veto Overriden The lone Senate bill on which Whitcomb's veto was over-ridden would create new retirement and disability pension programs for state excise police and state conservation enforcement officers.

Companion legislation increasing boat fees and licenses for bartenders and bar-maids to Support the pension became law two years ago and has accumulated more than enough money for the pe-stons. The over-ride' "Vote was 41-8 but it will" also have to have House approval. Here are the other 1969 House bills on which Whitcomb's veto was overthrown by the House Tuesday Provide that the state pay the cost of trials of criminals who commit new crimes inside penal institutions and are tried in courts where the institution is located, 66-29. Provide payments to pa tients at state mental institutions for work they do, estimated to cost $2 million a year, 55-42. Exempt firemen trained in first aid from liability in cases in which they provide first aid at the scene of an accident, 59-37.

Create a merit system for regularly organized fire departments in Lake County, 56-40. Extend the provisions of the state personnel, act to employes of the State Commission on the Aging and Aged, 84-13. Appropriate $25,000 to make Indiana a member in the Multi-State Tax Commission, 77-20. MAN SLATED Indiana state police charged Robert H.
