Firemen said the telephoned alarm, at 11:28 a.m., apparently came from another location other than a mobile home on Camden lane in Candlelight Village, where the caller said there was a fire. orks Hoard Meet The Columbus city board of works will meet at 8:30 a.m Tuesday in the council chambers at city hall, rather than at 10 a.m., as regularly scheduled.

The change in time is due to a conflict in Mayor Max D. An dress' schedule Tuesday. From Page i licly announced and later ratified at a regularly scheduled April 13 meeting by a unanimous vote of the five commissioners, according to past minutes of the commission. A Republic reporter was not at the April 13 meeting, and no report of the matter was made to the newspaper following the meeting. However, when asked about the new plan last week.

Mr. Eliot gave this newsman a news statement on the action, dated April 13. In discussing the lack of coordination with his office, Mayor Andress noted that he had asked at a staff meeting last Wednesday that he be given copies of all city commission and board minutes, to be better informed of such things in the future. Chapman Blackwell, a commission member who formally recommended adoption of the new plan, written by the Continental Assurance company of Chicago, stressed that the plan does not set a precedence for a division of the city, since the police and fire departments al- rparlv havp thpir nwn npnsinn pians. Concerning the timing and apparent lack of coordination with the mayor and council, he pointed out that serious discussion of the Continental plan began late last year by the com mission.

He also referred to tne ncplan and the cUy retroactive contribution as a "vested right' ot itie employe, wnicn he earned over the years he worked for the city. Among the six employes sharing in the retroactive contribu tions is a woman who is no long- er employed by the commission The woman, Mrs. Eva Midden-dorf received a retroactive contribution of $1,775 for a term of service of 46 months. The breakdown of other retroactive contributions and the term of employment follows: Mr. Eliot, $5,658.31, 70 months; Robert Neidhart, assistant director, $2,414.99, 36 months; and secretarries, Mrs.

Karen Byard, $955.20. 42 months; Mrs. Suellen Robbins, $943.32, 40 months, and Mrs. Beatrice Carson, $985.83, 35 months. If the current renewal project ends at the close of this year, as anticipated, the employes can either continue the plan on their own or withdraw the city-deposited benefits, baseds on a vesting formula of 20 per cent annually.

Those with three years past employment can withdraw 60 per cent of the amount, and those with five years, such as Mr. Eliot, can withdraw the total amount. As long as the employe continues with the commission, he con tributes 5' per cent of his annual pay and the employer, the city, contributes an equal 5'j per cent. Mr. Blackwell pointed out that the city's contribution to the new plan, both retroactive and an nual, is an eligible project cost' and federal S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development monies are used, rather than city tax money. in discussing the commis sion's decision to adopt the plan Mr. Blackwell said he felt the decision became one of three basic choices: Adopt the Conti nental plan, which is one of only a few approved by HUD, at tempt to adopt the Indiana Pub lie Employes' Retirement fund which he described as being unacceptable from an employes benefits standpoint, or do noth ing. Mr. Blackwell said he was under the impression that all city departments had to adopt the IPERF, before it could be ac cepted for one.

However, Wil liam Murphy, assistant director of the state fund, said this was not the case. The pension plan can be adopted for one or several departments by ordinance of the city council, the IPERF is under study by the mayor for other city departments.

In 1948, another tornado hit the Coatesville-Danville area on Good Friday. Among the buildings damaged was the Heather Hills Baptist Church, where about 500 persons were attending services. But although damage to the roof and a wall was estimated at nobody was injured. The Indianapolis area chapter of the American Red Cross said 26 families were reported homeless following the tornado. Dozens of other houses were damaged to variable degree.

The Heather Hills residential area appeared to have borne the brunt of the storm. The tornado first hit near the 9700 block of E.

German Church E. 21st St. and Mitthoefer, and 38th St. at German Church. There was no question about the storm being a tornado.

Hun dreds of area residents saw the funnel cloud. Buildings exploded from the atmospheric pressure. The number of casualties might have been greater except Gordon Reed Dies After Heart Attack Gordon (Chris) Reed, 60, Elizabethtown, a farmer, was dead on arrival at Bartholomew county hospital Sunday where he had been taken by the North Vernon Rescue 20 vehicle.

JAILED (Continued From Page 1) ance the past week end under the judges order. Under the court provisions for release Cardwell would not have been eligible for release without bond the first time he was arrested, Friday night, much less the second time. County police said today their records were not complete and the November arrest was not included in Cardwell's record. The last record of arrest, in county police files, on Cardwell for public intoxication was in May, 1971, which would have qualified him for release at the time of his first arrest. When asked why Cardwell as released again after being arrested for the second time on Saturday, it was explained that the court provisions call for release after six months from last conviction, which county police had no record of, and since he had not yet been convicted of the charge from Friday night he was released for the second time.

When brought in the third time on the same charge Sunday, Cardwell was held for court or a bail bondsman. Is Fire iclim Word has been received here of the death of an Ohio township native, Mrs. Carl J. Jordan, 39. of Lawrenceburg, Ga.
