Six billboards displaying Harmeier's pic tare have been erected between Cambridge City and Bloomington. Stories for two nation; al magazines, a public broadcasting docu mentary and local television and radio ipot are in the works.

Police, observers and even the citizens themselves are amazed at the intensity of their determination. But all of them agree that the key to the community zeal lies with Harmeier herself. Ann Louise Harmeier lives in the hearts' and minds of these people, for her church work, her devotion to her mother, her talent! Her father, Robert, died of a brain tumor when she was 4 years old. i "Ann is very special just the most special person very mature, sensitive and so good to elderly people, even though she has no reason to care about them. She just' does," Taul said.

"It would be a horrible, insensitive community that wouldn't unite to find her. In a larger town, it wouldn't have happened but here, we're like a family."

(AP) Ann Louise Harmeier, 20, could be considered nothing more than a statistic one of thousands of persons reported missing each year, in time destined to be erased from pouce computers and human memories.

But Harmeier, a lifelong resident of Cambridge City, is a symbol of the ability of the 4,000 people who live in this small eastern Indiana community and adjacent towns to counter frustration and despair with optimism and determination. The people are searching for Harmeier. And they won't give up until they find her. On the morning of Sept. 12, the Indiana University junior loaded her clothes and.

books into a car and headed for the campus in Bloomington, about 105 miles away. She stopped at service stations several times en route because she was having car trouble. She was last spotted standing outside her disabled car along Indiana 37, two miles north of Martinsville, less than 20 miles from campus. The Rev. Rose Taul of Cambridge City Presbyterian Church, a family friend, became alarmed when Harmeier failed to telephone her that night as planned.

The next day, she and Harmeier's mother, Marjorie, retraced the route Harmeier had taken. They found the loaded car, emergency lights flashing, abandoned by the roadside. Where is Ann? That question, in bold, black type, is spread throughout the nation on bumper suckers, posters and billboards, all part oi a massive campaign that began the weekend after Harmeier vanished. "Two days after Ann was reported miss ing, I called Mrs. Harmeier and asked if there was anything I could do," said David Weston, Dublin Elementary School principal.

"That's when Ernie Alder a retired state police sergeant and another neighbor of the Harmeiers and I decided to put out the posters." Thousands of posters bearing a picture and description of the blue-eyed, blonde Harmeier have been distributed, he said. Actor Ritter marries LOS ANGELES (AP) Jon Ritter, star of the ABC television comedy "Three's Company," was married yesterday to Nancy Karen Morgan in a lavish ceremony at the Hotel Bel Air. Ritter is the son of country-western singer Tex Ritter. When she went doctor (who in treating disorders) Jones adds, he my give up selling trucks and manage the Crosby future instead. Everett shook hands on the humble founding of a great, new show-business empire.

The agreement was that the two boys should join the band some weeks later in Chicago but the boys had two other things in mind first Orchestra leader Don Clark, who wielded his baton at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, had already invited' them to make a record. The record was cut Oct. 10, 1926, in a converted warehouse in Los Angeles. The song, a vocal duet called "I've Got the Girl," was the first disc Bing ever made. They arrived in Chicago to find it in a grip of vice, lawlessness and corruption.

The cause of the crime wave was Prohibition, which had allowed "Scarface" Ar Capo ne to take over the city and bleed it dry with the air of an ancient Roman Emperor. During Prohibition, more than 700 people died in Capone's drink-traffic war many of them gunned down on the streets in open gangland fighting. This was the backdrop as Crosby and Rinker faced the biggest challenge of their lives so far opening night with the best band in the land at the Tivoli Theater. As they waited off-stage in the wings they were extremely nervous. In fact, they were petrified.

The cue came and the waiting was over, but not the nerves. to be simple ')' 6ti 1 i 1 By CHARLES THOMPSON SccMdtf a Six-Part Strict No one took any particular note of the two 'faces among the crowd that went along to the railroad station in Los Angeles to watch the Paid Whiteman Band steam into town. Whiteman, a former taxi driver from was the biggest name in post-war music and his discs were selling in millions even in those days. Whiteman had never heard of Crosby and Rinker, but he would soon. It was his manager who caught their act "He came to me one rooming," Whiteman recalled, "and said, i heard a couple of great boys last night who you ought to have in the Whiteman sent two members of bis band to check out the talents of Bing and Al.

Both were impressed and Crosby and Rinker were summoned to the court of jazz king White-man. It was a meeting Bing never forgot: "Whiteman was seated on a massive bed, looking like a giant Buddha, and he had a pound of caviar in his lap and a bottle of champagne on his breakfast table. "He talked to us for a while and asked us 'about our background. Then he said he thought the act was fine and wanted to know if we wanted to join him and we said They were in. Whiteman offered them more money than they had ever seen.

Bing turned to brother Everett and asked Mm to Crosby rites LOS ANGELES (AP) The body of Bing Crosby is expected in Los Angeles to-, night and will be buried after simple religious rites tomor-row, a family spokesman said. The late crooner's press agent, Maury Foladare, said that the body, 'accompanied by 19-year-old son Harry Crosby, would be flown this morning from Madrid, Spain. Crosby died there Friday after a round of golf with three Spanish professionals. Simple services, in keeping with the 71-year-old entertainer's wishes, were scheduled for tomorrow at St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church in Brentwood, Foladare said.

Crosby will be buried in a family plot at Holy Cross Cemetery in Lbs Angeles, near his parents and first wife, Dixie Lee, who died of cancer in 1952. In London yesterday, mourners stood in the aisles of Westminster Cathedral for a Mass said in memory of Crosby, described as "a gentle soul who gave such pleasure with unaffected modesty to so many." 5 Those were the words of Canon Oliver Kelly, who told the estimated 2,000 persons: "I'm sure you felt, as I did, that when the news of his death spread across the world there was a pause, there Was a moment of silence, of regret, that a special voice had been stilled." "7 Crosby, Golf a handicap are to be "Ilcrdcncd ivax affected hssnng for 35 yocrsl" to a specializes ear Mrs. They trotted on and went into their first number. There was an explosion of applause as they finished the final bar. They were going to be a hit all right, and Pops White-man beamed a chubby smile.

By the close of their fast moving 'hotcha-cha' act, the audience was in raptures and the clapping thunderous. The reception was no real surprise to Bing; in discovering the criminal reputation of the city, he found that Chicago was the stomping ground of jazz. Musicians and singers, with such immortals as Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday and Jelly Roll Morton (who was a highly successful pimp until Capone threw him out), abounded. Chicago had 20,000 speakeasies, and produced more than 16 million a week for Capone and the other gangs that ran the city. In addition to beer, hard liquor and wine, the speakeasy provided entertainment usually a Dixieland band of clarinetist, banjo player, pianist and drummer.

Bing's first speakeasy venture almost ended in disaster. He went out alone, but befriended a couple of strangers in the first bar he was able to get into. They introduced him to brandy for the first time and the last thing he remembered was setting out on a tour of other speakeasies. A few days later he awoke on a sofa in a strange room. It was something of a relief when the Whiteman Band packed its bags for a tour that took in some of the less bullet-swept ci ties of the Midwest.

It was a happy tour for Crosby and Rinker. Cleveland took them to its heart, and Detroit, Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Indianapolis followed suit They were all set to storm New York. The big date was the famous Paramount Theater, one of the nation's greatest showcases. They arrived with the confidence of conquering heroes, but it was a mood that was not to last very long.

When they took the stage at the Paramount there were a colossal flop. They just couldn't understand it. Loved everywhere else, but not in New York. Bing took it badly, although the reason for the flop was simple, in retrospect. These were the days before microphones on stage, and the Paramount was much larger than any theater they had played before.

The audience just couldn't hear them. But, characteristically, Bing didn't cry hard or long. "I was baffled, but we were having a lot of fun. We went out to Harlem every night, to the Cotton Club and Connie's Inn and all the famous places there, hearing all the great music around New York. "I couldn't care less, really.

I knew that Whiteman had to pay us we were contracted and I just felt something'd show up." At this time there appeared on the scene an unlikely looking saviour, a small man who slept little and suffered from a racking cough, name of Harry Barris. He played hot and loud and at times he would slam the piano top down to the beat of the number. His singing style was aggressive and only the stone deaf could ever complain that they couldn't hear Harry. Why couldn't they team up with Harry Barris and make a noise as a threesome for Whiteman? They went along to watch the live-wire Harry belting away. Not only were they impressed by Harry's flair, they thought they could get along with him as well.

And everything was okay by Harry. It didn't take Whiteman long to see the light and the wisdom of it all, and Paul Whiteman's Rhythm hausted Wright was pulled up to a narrow ledge. Several hours later, rescuers succeeded in getting him past a particularly narrow series of shafts and corridors and finally to freedom, according 1402 to police.

The "talkies," after a spasmodic and imperfect start, were going to be here to stay. A nation crippled by Depression wanted music and laughter, arid the dream factory that was Hollywood could churn it out. The '30s for "tinsel town," was to be an era of romance, comedy, light-comedy and above all, music.

When the bright lights eventually lured them, their success continued, and soon they were signed to star at the area's best-known nightclub, the Cocoanut Grove. It meant sitting in with a band again, but for Bing it was another point. He became a solo singer. There at the Grove, the true Bing developed. Despite the threesome's finesse and success, his solos began to steal the show.

When he started to sing, the patrons stopped dancing and turned to the stage. There, beneath the Grove's plastic palm trees and artificial monkeys, he began to sing with what has since been described as "a glowing depth." His solos, he said later, started to have a "cry in them" and fans noticed for the first time a "tear" or "gravel-throating" creeping in. They christened it "the Crosby His partners were being left behind and they weren't surprised. "That's the way it had to be," Rinker said. "Bing emerged as a soloist, which he wasn't before." But the boys stuck it out together and were in residence for more than a year.

At the Grove, Crosby met someone who was to be vitally important in his life. A girl named Dixie Lee. It was love at first sight. (Copyright 1975 By Charles Thompson. Excerpted from "Bing: The Authorized Biography" By Charles Distributed by The New York Times Special Features).
