A-8 TIMES-REPORTER 18.1975 DOVIfl NfWPHIlADUPHIA, OHIO roy key man on Rhodes 9 team ByGJlBGWULIGER T-R Bureau Writer COLUMBUS John McElroy, executive assistant A. Rhodes, is about as different a man from his boss as anyone could be. In appearance, Rhodes is almost imposing with a look distinguished by his shock of silver hair; McElroy is short and balding. In background Rhodes is a college dropout and veteran politician; McElroy is a former attorney with one of Columbus' leading law firms. In speech, Rhodes is shoot-from-the-hip; McElroy is thoughtful and articulate.

And in politics, Rhodes loves the limelight but shuns the day-to-day grind and avoids contact with the press. McElroy operates effectively behind the scenes and is eminently accessible. It is these last two traits which probably will make McElroy one of the key men in Rhodes' third term just as he was under the old Rhodes administration, when he functioned as chief of staff. McElroy's position should be particularly important now that Democrats firmly control the legislature. Indeed, Democrats could develop ties to the Rhodes administration as close as those of the Republicans.

"He needs us more than he needs them," one Democratic legislator said of Rhodes yesterday. IN AN INTERVIEW with The Times-Reporter Wednesday, McElroy did not go that far, but agreed ties with the Democrats would be necessary. "If there is to be legislation, we're going to have to deal with the Democrats a lot," McElroy said. "Not any more than the he added "The Republicans are our own family." But with Democrats running the legislature, Rhodes' field of operations could be severely restricted. In particular, that could affect such proposals as doing away with the Ohio Board of Regents a suggestion Rhodes made in his inaugural speech Monday and even Senate confirmation of Rhodes' appointments.

McElroy concurred with Rhodes' proposal to scrap the regents and while he praised the board's past work, he added: "We need a new kind of government structure to do a better job now." As to whether it was realistic to expect the General Assembly to go along with the idea, McElroy said: "I don't know -1 think this is the kind of thing that will become law only if there is public response to the suggestion." MCELROY ALSO SAID he did not anticipate trouble with Rhodes' cabinet appointments. Rough is seen by some for Rhodes' proposed commerce director, Gordon Peltier, who received a real estate license under questionable circumstances when he headed the same department in the last Rhodes administration. "The fact that the people have been appointed indicates the governor has made his evaluation that they could pass the scrutiny of any committee that looked at them and be approved by the Senate," McElroy said, "He wasn't going to name anyone that was going to run in to a buzz-saw." As for general relations with the two parties in the legislature, McElroy noted that the administration would be talking with Democrats on legislative proposals before the bills were introduced, but pointed out that, "Whatever is developed will be worked out with the minority (Republican) leadership of the two houses." "The only way we can hope to get anything through is to develop consensus," McElroy said. He added that thus far, "We have written no bills in here (the governor's office)." He characterized the proposals in the Rhodes inaugural address Monday as "a pretty broad sweep" and indicated more specific proposals would be forthcoming in the governor's "State of the State" message in March. McElroy also laid to rest rumors that he might only be serving a year or two in the new administration.

"It never occurred to me that this was anything except signing on for the voyage, "he said. He added that he enjoyed his work, but, "It's pretty heavy to begin with I feel mentally disheveled at the end of each day." Supreme Court upholds Dems' refusal to seat elected convention delegates WASHINGTON (AP) Democratic and Republican 'leaders say a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court has strengthened the two political parties and added to their responsibilities. The court ruled unanimously Wednesday that national party conventions play such a crucial role in the political process that the parties can refuse to seat dele- gates chosen in state elections. Democratic National Chairman Robert Strauss said the decision "places even greater responsibility on the political parties of this nation." "I as chairman would expect that the national Democratic party would devote itself to a guarantee that the voters of any state will never in the future be Pets die in home blaze COSHOCTON Two small dogs and a cat died in a fire early this morning that caused extensive damage to the two- story cement block home of Mrs. Susan Ferrell and her three children at 395 Center Roscoe Village.

Another dog and cat were saved. Damage suit filed COSHOCTON Monty and Jane Prater of S. 2nd st. have filed a damage suit for $25,000 against Robert Reed of RD 1, Warsaw. The couple alleges that Reed was negligent and caused an accident Jan.

15,1973. Prater was operating a car which collided with Reed's on Rt. 83 in Franklin Township. The fire, which firemen brought under control by 4:04 a.m., is believed to have started near a piano in the liv- ingroom. That room and the upstairs sustained damage.

Firemen, who stayed on the scene until 6, will investigate the cause of the blaze and extent of damages today. The three children are Shawn, 10, and Bryan, 8, both Times-Reporter carriers in the Roscoe area, and Erin, 4. More arrests made CLEVELAND, Ohio Three more persons have been arrested by the FBI in connection with the $350,000 theft of a shipment of trousers in Cincinnati in December. disenfranchised without due cause," Strauss said. Republican National Chairman Mary Louise Smith said the decision appeared to be very significant.

"Such a ruling will clarify who has authority over the delegate selection process and would certainly appear to strengthen the function of a political party," Mrs. Smith said. The court's ruling wiped out contempt of court proceedings against 59 Illinois delegates whose seating helped swing the 1972 Dehio- cratic presidential nomination to Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota. The delegates, chosen in private caucuses, were seated in place of a slate backed by Chicago Mayor Richard J.

Daley, which had been elected in the state primary election. The convention's credentials committee held that the Daley slate violated party guidelines regarding representation' of youth, women and minorities. Speaking for the court, Justice William J. Brennan Jr. said the importance of national nominating conventions overrides the need of the states to safeguard their elections.
