78 Legislature may get retirement bill Lewis C. Bose, general counsel for the Indiana School Boards Association, said so many pension plans are based on retirement at age 65 "you will raise many problems. The whole thing may resolve itself in a few years by federal legislation." He said the school boards "are not against this legislation but we want to be sure to protect existing plans. This (bill) raises broad questions. What of demotion? There is a problem of deterioration as well as retirement." Other witnesses raised questions about retirement based on a specified number of years of service, such as for police and firemen, and whether removal of compulsory retirement would reduce job opportunities for young people.

Rep. Loren Winger, said, "We are protecting the right of people to work as long as they can but who is protecting the consumer and the employer?" By HORTENSE MYERS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -The 1978 Indiana Legislature may act on elimination of a mandatory retirement age before Congress does. Such a concept gained preliminary approval Tuesday from most members of the Committee on Aged and Aging of the Indiana House of Representatives. The committee, headed by Rep. Jeffrey K.

Espich, R-Uniondale, heard some witnesses oppose the idea and warn of its massive impact on management-labor contracts and relationships. But committee members with some objections agreed tentatively on major points to be contained in such a bill. Espich instructed the Legisla tive Council staff to prepare a draft along those lines in time for consideration at their next meeting Nov. 1. I The tentative language would declare as "an unfair employment practice and against public policy to dismiss from employment or to refuse to employ or rehire, any person solely because of his age." It would substitute "an established retirement age" in place of "compulsory retirement age" in labor contracts.

I The tentative draft also proposes that "contracts, agreements or understandings entered into prior to Oct. 1, 1978 are not affected by the provisions of this chapter unless the provisions of that contract, agreement or under standing are renegotiated, renewed, altered or opened after Oct. 1, 1978." Indiana has a law barring employment discrimination on the basis of age that extends to 65 but not beyond. Another law specifies state governmental employees retire at age 70 unless this is extended for the benefit of the state. State Personnel Director Robert C.

Roeder urged the committee to leave the 70-year retirement age for state employees in its bill. "We have found 70 an effective age," he said. "There are few instances in which we go beyond 70. This question of no age limit is serious. If you have to show inability to perform, it will be a very frustrating responsibility.

Very few physicians want to go out on a limb and say a person can't do the work any more. I never have found a physician who would say an employee can't do a job." Roeder saii removal of a compulsory retirement age may have an adverse effect on the state's career opportunities program in that younger persons are willing to wait if they know older persons are retiring at a specific time. Director Arnold Spilly of the Indiana Retired Teachers Association said the teaching profession generally regards 65 as retirement age. "The teaching profession is strenuous. We have few who want to work beyond 65," he said.

Body in field Ann Harmeier? New problems at Kewanna school News Summary By United Press International Concorde at Kennedy today NEW YORK (UPI) Today is the day for the Concorde SST's first trial landing at New York after two years of legal efforts by Britain and France to get their needle-nosed jet into the nation's most lucrative travel bub. The first regular passenger service into New York is set to begin Nov. 22. But the neighbors of Kennedy Airport, undaunted, still plan more lawsuits challenging the needle-nosed craft because of its noise. On Monday the Supreme Court upheld a lower court ruling allowing the test flights until the airport operator can come up with uniform and fair noise standards for the SST.

Germans, mum on raid BONN, West Germany (UPI) West Germany is giving few details about the Entebbe-like raid in Somalia Tuesday in which German troops rescued 86 hostages aboard a hijacked Lufthansa jetliner. But what really mattered was that the hostages were free and the hijackers neutralized three of them shot to death. Bonn is also at a loss to explain how three members of the Baader-Meinhoff gang managed to commit suicide in their cells in a maximum-security jail in Stuttgart, and a fourth make an unsuccessful attempt. And while crowds cheered the troops of the West German Border Police as they returned to Cologne, and cheered the hostages as they returned to Frankfurt, there was a tinge of grief for the jetliner's pilot, Juergen Schumann, who was shot to death by the hijackers in front of his passengers. Elvis' swindlers found LOUISVILLE, Ky.

(UPI) A dozen persons stand charged with trying to defraud banks in Kentucky, Ohio, and West Virginia out of $5.5 million and to bilk the late Elvis Presley out of more than $333,000 The FBI said Tuesday federal grand juries in Louisville and Nashville, charged the suspects with taking part in a year-long plot to defraud the banks by using a phony $100,000 certificate of deposit from a bank in England. The defendants allegedly planned to use an initial $70,000 loan from the bank as collateral for $5.5 million in other loans. The FBI said the suspects also tried to defraud Presley in a complicated scheme under which they would get him to sell one of his aircraft, then lease it back to him, and then sublease it to another company. Energycompromise sought WASHINGTON (UPI) Everyone talked about compromise at the first meeting of the House-Senate conference committee on energy Tuesday, but after opening speeches about accommodation, the conferees got down to the business at hand. They were trying to reconcile differences between House and Senate versions of an energy conservation policy at the homeowner level.

The House would allow utilities to make loans and install some of the energy-efficient equipment and materials. The Senate would prohibit loans and installation by utilities, but would have them be advisors to the homeowners, showing how energy-saving improvements could be made. Four compromises were offered and rejected at Tuesday's session, but the conferees had more on tap for today's sion. MARTINSVILLE, Ind. (UPI) The half nude body of a woman found in a cornfield northeast of the city was identified tentatively late Tuesday as Ann Louise Harmeier, a coed who disappeared 36 days earlier while driving back to the Indiana University Bloom-ington campus.

Authorities said the woman was strangled by a tournaquet fashioned from a shoestring and a hairbrush. State police investigators also said it appeared she was sexually assaulted although the body was so badly decomposed officials performing an autopsy could not make such a determination. Morgan County Coroner James Summers said the tentative identification was school. It was decommissioned two years ago but went to court and won an order forcing the state commission to recertify it. Regnier had recommended the school commission be continued, but the state board rejected his report.

The possible problems with the sewage facilities were not mentioned in the report of two years ago. He said there was no way of determining whether the problems are new or were just overlooked in the earlier inspection. While academically all but one of the teachers are certified, Regnier said, Kewanna is the third most expensive school to operate on a per pupil basis in Indiana. That was a factor in the 1975 decertification, he said, and may be a factor this time, too. The one uncertified teacher has applied for a special permit.

While there may be some problems, Regnier said he found attitudes improved. "We did find an atmosphere more conducive to education than existed two years ago," Regnier said. INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) There are "several concerns" about the status of Kewanna Indiana's smallest high school although the final recommendations haven't been made, a state official said Tuesday. "Academically, the state's minimum program has been compiled with," said Jan Regnier, director of inspection for the Indiana Department of Public Instruction. "But there are several concerns about the physical plant and they're more than hammer and nails can fix," Regnier said.

I Regnier declined to go into great detail on the current inspection, made several weeks ago. However, he cited a State Board of Health report which raised questions about the school's sewage treatment facilities. Regnier said he has formulated no final recommendation to the Indiana General Education Commission, which meets Nov. 2. It's possible his recommendation may be delayed because he still awaits final reports from some of his own staff and the state fire marshal's office.

Kewanna, with about 80 pupils, is Indiana's smallest high made through the clothing, jewelry and a bankbook found among the spilled contents of a purse recovered about 10 feet from the body. Police investigators said the woman's red T-shirt was pulled up around her neck and her jeans and underclothes shoved down around her ankles. They said comparison with normal cases would indicate she was raped. The clothing was of the same description as that worn by Miss Harmeier, 20, Cambridge City, on Sept. 12 when she drove back to campus where she was a junior majoring in drama.

Officials said the area where the body was found was isolated and the only homes were a quarter of a mile or farther away. The body was found by Lawrence Stafford about 2:30 while he combined corn in the field. It was about 200 yards from a county road in corn standing over seven feet high.

By United Press International A warming trend should move into Indiana Thursday, sending highs into the 60s and 70s through Saturday.

No precipitation was expected until "Friday or Saturday. The National Weather Service said frost would develop in northern and central Indiana tonight as temperatures dip into the 30s after highs today reached mostly into the 60s. But the warming trend should keep lows only in the 40s the following several mornings. The NWS said highs by Sunday may taper off to the 50s and 60s.
