This means a city dweller with access to public transportation would get the same amount as a rancher who must drive many miles for supplies. "I think Congress will reject it." he said.

Gas Rationing? INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -Using a standby gasoline rationing plan being prepared by the Carter administration would trigger an instant economic recession if it ever had to be used, according to an aid to Gov Otis Bowen. WilliamVatt, an aide to Bow-en who is also chairman of the energy task force for the Midwestern Governors Conference, Thursday criticized the proposal as unfair and unworkable.

An autopsy showed she had been strangled and probably raped. Kenny said about 20 known sex offenders, have been questioned but so far no arrest made.

State police also want to talk to Joseph Mazer, 23, who has been returned from Texas to Guernsey County, Ohio, to face charges in the slaying of another young woman. But Mazer's attorney won't let him talk to anyone about any slayings, Kenny said. Kenny said Mazer 'passed through Indiana on the day Miss Harmeier disappeared, but apparently Mazer, before his attorney silenced him, told police he was not in the Martinsville area that day.

Capt. Gilbert Buck of the Purdue University Police Department wants the university's "ride board" eliminated. The board is used for posting notes by students who seek rides or have rides to offer. "I'd say the danger greatly overwhelms the benefits" of the ride board. Buck said.

He also recalls the coed who used the board in 1975 to obtain a ride to the East Coast. Instead, she wound up kidnapped by two men neither Purdue students who held her captive in Minnesota for a "love experiment." The experiment dealt with trying to make the coed fall in love with one of her captors. She was not raped and later was freed. Buck also spoke about another coed who used her head in seeking a ride. She invited the man to her residence hall so she could meet him in safe surroundings.

She became suspicious of him at the meeting and called police. The man turned out to be a non-student, i but was not arrested because he had done nothing Illegal. But the coed. Buck said, did the correct thing. "She called us.

FREE SURVEY AND ESTIMATE 376-9731 Bv BERNARD BRENNER UPI Farm Editor WASHINGTON (UPI) The world may be facing i.n era of food shortages broken by brief, occasional periods of surplus through the rest of the century, a widely known food economist warns. "A world of cheap food with" stable prices, surplus stocks and a large reserve of idled crop land may now be history." Lester R. Brown says. "Barring some dramatic increase in the priority given family planning and food production, a future typified by more or less chronic scarcity enlivened only by occasional surpluses of a local and shortlived nature appears to be in store." Brown adds in a book scheduled for publication next year.

Brown, a former Agriculture Department economist and a frequent author on global food issues, is now president of a private research group, the World-watch Institute. His forthcoming book, "The 29th Day Accommodating Human Needs and Numbers to the Earth's Resources," will appear during a season in which American farmers have harvested record crops and are grumbling about low prices. In 1978. in fact, the government will be operating an acreage-reduction program for wheat and tentatively also plans to seek a cut in corn production. But this temporary surplus may not last.

Brown says. "Although grain stocks have been temporarily rebuilt in the late '70s. the global balance between the supply and demand for food remains delicate," he writes. That delicate balance is reflected in a number of developments. The Agriculture Department, after receiving Bv B.

"I don't mind blowing the bitch away if she gives us any trouble." Wadsworth quoted Willard as saying. He also testified to learning about an unreported burglary at Mrs. Jackson's house in which several hundred thousand dollars was taken. He admitted he was introduced to Willard in hopes Willard could help him break into a safe at a downtown clothing store where he worked parttime. However, Wadsworth claimed Willard became more interested in trying to rob Mrs.

Jackson and made at least two trips to her northside ranch home with him before Wadsworth decided to drop out of the scheme early this year.
