(UPI) r- Plowing for the 1974 corn and soybean crops is "well ahead of average" for early April, but only because so much of it was done last fall.

That was the word Monday contained in the first weekly Indiana crop report from Earl L. Park, agricultural statistician for the Agricultural Department at Purdue University. "Progress of fieldwork was rated as about usual, but would be considered behind except for the large amount of plowing done last fall 50 per cent of intended corn and soybean acre age, Park said. Little advance in plowing has been made since, but progress is still well ahead of average for April 5." Park reported that oats seed ing is only 5 per cent done, about the same as the slow start made last year, and much below the five-year average of at least 25 per cent. Less than half a day was suit able for field work last week due to wet soils.

Topsoil mois ture was rated as surplus, while subsoil moisture was consider ed adequate to mostly surplus. "Despite a setback to over wintering crops because of the recent hard freeze, vegetative development is considered one day ahead of usual," the report said. "Winter wheat averaged 5 inches high, an inch above 1973 and 2 to 3 inches above the five-year average. 'Pasture condition vanes from poor to good over the state, but averaged mostly fair.

JANET ARTHUR, INSTRUCTOR A.M. 1 rf Sen.Weicker accuses White House Couple injured in Charles Huston asked for an IRS progress report on the review of "operations of Ideological Organizations." Commented Weicker: "They lumped ideological together with activist and militant." In the exhibit on the satirical movie "Millhouse: A White Comedy," Jack Caulf ield recommends to John W. Dean, III in a White House memo: "Release of (producer Emile) de Antonio's F.B.I, derogatory background to friendly media" and "Discreet IRS audits of New Yorker Films, Inc." The documents on the Brookings Institute indicate Evaluations of instructional and non-instructional personnel in the Nineveh-Hensley-Jack-son school system as well as recommendations for ed ucational programs for the 1974-75 school year were the main topics of discussion at the N-H-J school board meeting Monaay nignt The board spent most of the session with the principals of the system's five schools evaluating all personnel employed by the scnools. The evaluations are an annual and confidential procedure, In laying the groundwork for the educational programs for the 1974-75 school year, the board made an effort to improve the student-teacher ratio throughout tne school system. According to superintendent Charles Ray the system has been experiencing a drop in lower elementary grade enrollment coupled with an increase of students entering the upper elementary and junior high classes.

"In order to compensate for these changes," Ray said, "we will be moving some teachers from the first and second grade classes into the sixth, seventh and eighth grades." The projected student-teacher ratio for the N-H-J schools next year is as follows: Morgantown elementary, 350 students and 14 teachers for a 1 to 25 ratio; Nineveh elementary, 230 students, 10 teachers for a 1 to 23 ratio; Trafalgar elementary, 250 students, 11 teachers, 1 to 22.7 ratio; Indian Creek junior high, 335 students, 13 teachers, 1 to 25.8 ratio; and Indian Creek senior high, 602 students, 27 teachers, for a 1 to 22.3 ratio. Ray classified the overall 1 to 23.6 student-teacher ratio as a "very desirable range." He added that the figures did not include special education pupils. The board also approved a full-time career education program for the high school level, which will be initiated this fall. According to Ray, one additional teacher will be hired in the business and English areas of the high school, which will purposes observe to Dean in an Oct. 6, 1971 memo "it postures an extremely heavy involvement in Jewish organizational activity.

Attorney General should be discreetly made aware in this regard." The tax exhibit indicates White House interest in audits being run on Evangelist Billy Graham and actor John Wayne, both friends of President Nixon. "Can we do anything to help?" Dean asks in an Oct. 1, 1971 memo originally directed to aide Larry Higby, whose name was lined out. "The Wayne complaint when viewed in the attached context does not appear to be strong enough to' pursue," Caulfield concludes in an Oct. 6, 1971, memo to Dean.

The "attached context" refers to tax audits on "some individuals in the entertainment industry who were politically active during prior whose economic condition is similar to that of John Wayne." VAN Griffin opened his courtroomSaturday relieve a current, part-time career counselor for full-time duty. The counselor will assist students and teachers in putting together programs that will be of optimum benefit for students interested in specific careers. The counselor will also assist students undecided in career choices. Other recommendations approved by the board for the 1974-1975 school term include the addition of a new elective social studies course for the 10th and 12th grades entitled "Current Problems of Democracy;" the continuation of the summer school driver's training program as well as the summer school band program for all schools; and the continuation of the Title I readrfrg program for the upcoming school year, provided federal funds are still available. In other business, educational consultant William Day announced the ratings received by four of the system's five schools during a recent inspection by the Indiana State Department of Public Education.

Morgantown and Nineveh elementary schools were given Continuous ratings while Trafalgar elementary was rated as a First Class school. Indian Creek junior high received a Certified rating, which is the lowest rating offered by the department. According to Ray, Indian Creek's Certified rating was based mainly on its poor physical facilities. In the final action of the night, the board authorized Ray and Day to obtain a topographical map and soil boring tests on land owned by the school corporation just east of the high school. The land is the most likely site for the proposed new middle school.

The final figure of the assessed valuation of the school system was also received by the board Monday. All properties and holdings are currently assessed at 112,540,000 The figure represents an increase of approximately $900,000 over last year's total police Witnesses said George grabbed Bonfield's service revolver and during a struggle for the weapon it discharged and a bullet hit him in the chest. He was dead on arrival at a Michigan City hospital. Bonfield and Graves were bruised during the scuffle. George's brother was held on charge of assault and battery a police officer and disorder-ly conduct.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -Top White House officials tried to use federal agencies ranging from the Internal Revenue Service to the parole board for political purposes, documents made public by Sen. Lowell Weicker showed. Weicker made public a thick stack of exhibits he presented Monday to members of three Senate subcommittees holding joint hearings on government wiretapping.

Most were copies of once secret White House memos. "Bringing to the light of day those words and deeds guarantees far more than legislation (would) that never again will Americans commit or submit to matters that repudiate the origins of our national greatness," Weicker said in presenting the documents. Weicker's exhibits were entitled Internal Revenue Service; "Millhouse;" Brookings (Institute); Goldberg; (Billy) Graham, (John) Wayne IRS Activity; Newsday; Military Spying; Department of Commerce; Parole Board and Justice Department; Department of Defense; and White House Activities.

KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION FOR FALL SEMESTER AT THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH 512 S. MADISON AVE. GREENWOOD 2 Iff IONS P.M. 12 Noon to 5:00 I Fashions for Easter Marc Griffin, the 17-year-old Justice of the Peace from White River township, put the question of age behind him and opened his courtroom last Saturday for the first time. Griffin handled two cases on his first day.

He ruled that the court had no jurisdiction over one case. The other he required a patient of a Franklin doctor, to pay $219 to a physician. Griffin also appointed Richard Meyer, a member of the White River township fire department, as special constable for the J.P. court. Griffin explained that the law prohibits the judge from becoming a law officer, that is, he cannot serve a subpoena or a summons, and then hear the trial as a judge also.

Meyer's appointment was suggested to Griffin by the White River township fire chief. Griffin noted that Meyer is paid like Griffin, from the nominal fee charged by the J.P. court. The new constable will have the right to make an arrest with the proper warrant. He will serve the summons which are issued from the court, and handle all police functions the court requires.

Griffin said that it is likely that Meyer will be on the November ballot seeking election to that office. The new J.P. court holds sessions every Saturday at 10 a.m. The offices for Griffin and Meyer are located at 9000 South Meridian street. Griffin notes that anyone interested in the court should call the office at 888-7700.

The young Justice of the Peace anticipates a busy agenda for the new court. He pointed out that as a small claims forum the J.P. court is more effective than collection agencies, and less expensive. that Dean, then President Nixon's lawyer, considered tax audits and "turning the spigot off" of government contracts and $500,000 in federal grants. Weicker said the Institute was "A Democratic thinktank sometimes called a government-in-exile." The Ford Foundation, which largely funds the institute, also came under Dean's scrutiny, the exhibit indicates.
