Mental health has money problems By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -Some mental health centers are confronted with a financial crisis apparently because Indiana does not qualify for as many federal dollars as anticipated. However, Gov. Otis R. Bowen, before leaving Thursday for a trip to Seattle, announced plans to meet the crisis. "The State Budget Committee is reviewing on a center-by-center basis, the potential effects of the formula devised by the Indiana Department of Mental Health for funding Indiana's mental retardation-developmental disabilities centers," Bowen said.

"Though it has evaluated the total budgetary picture of only a few of the state's more than 60 MR-DD centers, it is already evident there are potentially serious flaws in that formula, flaws that if left uncorrected, could result in leaving some of our centers seriously short of operating funds," Bowen said. "That possibility was wholly unexpected. It is thoroughly unacceptable and totally unnecessary." i Indiana has 62 such centers supported by local, state and federal funds. The 1977 Indiana Legislature appropriated $10.5 million! for 1977-78 in state money for these centers and designated $4 5 million of this as matching money for Title 20 federal funds That $4.5 million was expected to generate $15.5 million under the federal program allowing purchase of social services under contract. However, State Budget Director John Huie said it now appears fewer clients of the centers qualify for the federal EMPLOYMENT: 13 MEN WOMEN To start at once!

CALL 352-1259 State police ask for help in finding coed INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) State police say they will take all the help they can get in trying to locate a missing Indiana University coed. So far there has been plenty. But none of it has led to the whereabouts of Ann Harmeier. "We're getting leads daily but none of them has panned out," Lt.

Oscar Gates of the Indiana State Police said. Gates has five officers assigned to the case on a full-time basis. Miss Harmeier, 20, Cambridge City, vanished Sept. 12 as she drove from her home to the I.U. campus at Blooming-ton.

Her stalled car was found abandoned along Indiana 37 north of Martinsville. The case has been well publicized and many residents of Cambridge City have taken an active role in trying to find her. More than 100 residents went to southern Indiana last weekend to search and more are scheduled to travel to Kentucky this weekend to pursue a lead state police are not sure is accurate. What appeared to be the most promising lead thus far involved a service station operator and an employee at Paragon who reported seeing a woman matching Miss Harmeier's description. The car, containing three men and three women, stopped for gasoline the same day Miss Harmeier disappeared.

It had a McCracken County (Ky.) license plate. But that lead apparently "has fizzled out," Gates said. "They couldn't identify a picture of Miss Harmeier as being the same woman." Cambridge City residents also have had posters distributed showing a picture of Miss Harmeier and asking for information about her whereabouts. "We welcome all the help we can get," Gates said. However, what the Cambridge City people have been doing thus far has been all on their own without help from state police.

Gates said state police have been getting four or five calls per day from people who think they saw the coed. "We've had reports of her in cars and as a hitchhiker," Gates said. However, none of the leads has panned out thus far. State police have not discounted the possibility that she simply ran away on her own, but they are not putting much value on that theory, either. funds than had been anticipated.

Bowen said "there appears little doubt the Department of Mental Health's funding formula, which was the base for its financial notification to the Indiana centers last Friday, is inadequate. I have directed the staff of the State Budget Agency to work with the Department of Mental Health to prepare a new supplementary formula for the critically necessary distribution of state and federal funds." "It is deeply regrettable the department failed to devise a more soundly-based formula, for substantially more state and federal funds are available statewide for the operation of these centers than were expended last year," the governor said. 'While final actions must await the next Budget Committee meeting, scheduled for Oct. 13 in Bloomington, I would hope we would be able to safely advise the financially troubled centers as to the proposed new spending levels before that date so they can plan to meet their program needs as quickly as possible," Bowen said. "It is clearly evident, unfortunately painfully so, that a new statutory funding mechanism must be enacted so this unexpected and unacceptable situation can be avoided in the future," he said.
