Election questions answered Questions of whether voters must declare their politics and changing of presiding judges at Tuesday's primary election were answered today by Victor Turner, Tuscarawas County election director. If voters want to cast ballots on issues such as the Buckeye Joint Vocational School or some other levy, they need not declare their politics. Turner said they should go to the polls and "ask for an issue ballot or ballots" and they need not declare their politics. He also explained why presiding judges have been changed from those who served at the November 1970 general election. Up until 1963, presiding judges did not change until their term of service was completed.

That year, the attorney gen- changed the regulation so that presiding judges are a member of the party in majority at the preceding gubernatorial election. From Election From Reform the state sales tax and a $250 million corporate prof its tax. ITS ATOMATIC introduction places the package in direct competition with the tax proposals of Gov. John J. Gilligan and alternatives of legislative Republicans when these become clear.

Brown reported TRAC obtained 100,607 valid signatures of registered voters, more than the required 95,526 for legislative consideration of the bill. TRAC unveiled the package last November shortly after Gilligan was elected, and presented almost 100,000 signatures to Brown on Christmas Eve. Some of these were invalidated arid the organization had to secure more. The labor package lacks Gilligan's proposal for a graduated personal statewide income tax, and would raise only about half as much as the governor's new and increased tax proposals! If the legislature fails to act on the plan in four months, the unions can obtain the signatures of another 3 per cent of the Ohio electorate and place the issue on the ballot in November. ORGANIZED LABOR has taken the position Gilligan's proposed personal income tax is not needed until loopholes in the sales tax are closed to corporations.

The TRAC plan also provides for a severance tax on the use of Ohio's natural resources, $25 million a year; uniform tax on domestic and out-of-state insurance companies, $25 million; and a uniform tax on national and state banks, $5 million. Other provisions of the plan graduated rates and exemptions under city income tax ordinances. permissive county utility, license plate, real estate transfer and "piggyback" sales taxes. the first $5000 worth of property from the real estate taxes of retired persons earning less than $10,000 a year. commercial motor vehicles under the personal property tax, with the estimated additional revenues of $100 million a year going back to local governments to make up for losses brought about by the property tax exemptions.

Are you guilty? Persons hauling trash to area landfills are guilty of unintentional littering, according to Norman Miller, chief sanitarian of the Tuscarawas County General Health District. Residents living en route to Statewide, Kimble and of Newcomerstown landfills have complained of trash falling off unsecured loads littering highways and yards. Miller said most people are cooperating very well in taking waste to the fills, however the health district requests that materials be tightly secured during transport and that trucks be covered with a tarpaulin. He reminds residents that not only does blowing debris cause litter and traffic hazards, but drivers of unsecured loads may be prosecuted. Mother demands to be sterilized BOSTON (UPI) A 36-year-old mother of eight is seeking a court order directing the staff at Worcester City Hospital to sterilize her.

Mrs. Robbie May Hathaway filed suit in U.S. District Court Wednesday seeking $40,000 in damages for the hospital's refusal to perform the operation, termed a "tubal litigation," and a court order forcing the staff to perform the operation.

Grand jury indicts 7 By JACKCARPENTER Six indictments, involving seven persons, were returned Wednesday by the Tuscarawas County grand jury in a report submitted to Common Pleas Judge Raymond C.

Rice by Prosecutor George Demis and foreman Gleasner Lechner of Mineral City. There were three open and three secret indictments in the 19 cases involving 30 persons presented in a three- day session that concluded last Thursday. Rice scheduled arraignments for Monday at 9:30 a.m. Open indictments were against: Martin Huprich, 43, of 623 West Newcomerstown, charged with assault with a dangerous weapon; Hiawatha King, 35, of RD 2, New Philadelphia, and Bernard Eggelston, 47, of Columbus, house breaking and concealing stolen proper- ty, and James Day, 23, of 408 Front av.

King and Eggleston are charged with one count of house breaking and three counts of concealing stolen property. The indictment is connected with the March 16 burglary at the Dale Porcher home at RD 2, Newcomerstown, in which guns valued at $5000 were stolen.

Sheriff's deputies stopped the King auto on 1-77 and found several stolen weapons in the auto trunk. Deputies later searched a house in the Crooked Run area where the men were living and found the missing guns hidden under a mattress in a second-floor bedroom. DAY WAS STOPPED by Dover police last March 2 for a traffic check and they found tools in the auto trunk which Day admitted taking in a breakin at Puritan Laundry and Dry Cleaning on 6th st. SW in New Philadelphia. Police said Day told them in a statement that he broke into the north side of the laundry boiler room between midnight and 12:30 that day.

Strasburg man's arraignment set John Snodgrass, 42, of RD 1, Strasburg, is to be arraigned in northern district court May 7 on an assault charge filed by Lynda Bercaw.

The charge was originally filed in Strasburg mayor's court but the case was transferred to the county court after Snodgrass refused to waive trial by jury. He is charged with assault by using obscene and profane language and attempting to run down the Bercaw woman with a bicycle and threatening to run her down with a motor vehicle. The incident reportedly occurred last Thursday. Doverite charged Gene B.

AT THE SAME TIME, the judge set a June 21 hearing to settle the question of, any compensatory damages for union members for the three years preceding filing of the suit in August 1969, but he ruled out punitive damages. The New York Times Service reported Gesell said that, although he was denying the defendants' claims that they were protected by the statute of limitations from liability for wrongs committed as long ago as 1950, he would adopt a three-year-rule in assessing cash damages. The Times quoted unidentified law- yets as saying the damages would "run. into the millions," and that after payment of court costs and lawyer fees, the money would be paid into the welfare fund treasury for the benefit of the 70,000 beneficiaries. The suit was filed on behalf of the miners by Atty.

Harry Huge, 33. At the time, he was associated with a small public-interest law firm in Washington. He now is with the Washington firm of Arnold Porter. Testimony during the non-jury trial disclosed that as much as $81.5 million in union funds sometimes was held in checking accounts and certificates of deposit. Boyle said the late John L.

Lewis, whom he succeeded as UMW president, had insisted the welfare and retirement fund be kept in a fluid state. Miss Roche said Lewis feared the union might be taxed by the federal government. Judge Gesell said the practice of keeping multimillion-dollar cash deposits was an illegal conspiracy bilking retired miniers of investment income. Rep. Ken Hechker, D-W.

hailed the decision as a victory of'' the forces of decency'' within the union. Noting Boyle earlier was ordered removed as bank director, Hechler said: "It won't be too long before he is removed as president of the Boyle was unavailable for comment. THE COURT ALSO found Boyle, the UMW, and several other fund trustees liable for an alleged conspiracy involving investment of pension funds in several utility companies. Gesell's 45- page opinion noted the union purchased 50,000 shares of stock in Cleveland Electric Illuminating in the early 1960s at a time when the UMW was trying to force the utility to buy union-mined coal. The court decision was the latest in a series of UMW leadership setbacks which began shortly after Boyle's reelection.

In December 1969, rival UMW presidential candidate Joseph Yablonski, 59, his wife and daughter were shot to death in their Clarksville, home. Five persons including a local UMW official in Tennessee have been charged in the deaths. IN EARLY 1970 a Senate labor subcommittee conducted three days of hearings into UMW activities. The chairman, Sen. Harrison A.

Williams (D- N.J.), concluded "there was political motivation" in the ISO-million boost in pension payments shortly before the union election. The 70,000 retired miners form an effective bloc in balloting for national officers. A special grand jury last month returned 13 indictments accusing Boyle of embezzling union funds and funneling 149,250 to 11 political campaign committees, in violation of the Federal Corrupt Practices Act.

HUD officials visit Dover, hold talks with housing foes ByJIMCULLISON Two Department of Housing and Urban Development officials from Chicago were to depart this afternoon after spending a day and a half in Dover familiarizing themselves with the city's proposed urban renewal program. Steve Isrealite, concerned with the workable program, and Pam Hawkins, relocation specialist, toured the city and met with citizens groups and government officials to obtain an insight into the problems Dover must overcome before an urban renewal loan and grant application is approved. A NUMBER OF eastend residents, belonging to. the Concerned Citizens' Com- mi.ttee, and some residents from the W.

15th st. area discussed downtown urban renewal and proposed relocation housing with the HUD officials Wednesday. The residents are opposed to construction of proposed moderate income housing, and eastend property owners have filed injunctive suits in common pleas court seeking to block construction of a 68-unit complex in the vicinity of E. Front st. and Fair view av.

Dover Housing a non-profit organization, plans to build the complex with a loan guaranteed by the federal housing administration. Atty. Daniel Lehigh, representing the plaintiffs in the gave HUD officials copies of briefs he filed this week in the suits. Outcome of the suits is pending filing of answer briefs by the defense and reply by Lehigh. RELOCATION resources and land marketability were listed by HUD as the major problem areas in a technical review of the city's program, and Isrealite reportedly told the citizens' committee recertification of the workable program and citizen participation are issues being considered.

A decision on whether to approve the first phase of the city's urban renewal program is expected in the coining weeks. City officials met with HUD officials in Chicago Monday to discuss the problem areas and determine federal requirements for satisfactorily solving V' them..
