The commission has high hopes, Whipple said, for the new Jeffersonville port, which has access to two rail lines and three interstate highways. The commission has "probable guarantees" from shippers of steady business amounting to at least 500,000 tons in the port's first year, Whipple said. million tons for the port or 1 percent more than the previous year. The Southwind Maritime Centre near Mount Vernon on the Ohio River had a 25 percent revenue increase to $198,000 and a 12 percent tonnage increase to 1.88 million tons.

Whipple said the Southwind port, which opened in 1979, should handle 75 percent more tonnage this year based By PATRICK BLACK Evening Press staff reporter INDIANAPOLIS If Thursday night's fight is any indication, Sen. Kenneth "Swamper" Snider, D-Decker, will be fighting for quite a while. "I'm going to keep doing it until I quit having fun," says Sen. Snider, who knocked out Billy Doyle of Omaha, with one minute left in the third round in a scheduled six-rounder at the Sherwood Club. The 38-year-old welterweight improved his professional record to 3-0 with the victory.

He is now 2-0 against Doyle, against whom he made INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) The Indiana Port Commission predicts this year will bring more revenue and tonnage than last year as the commission prepares to open a new Ohio River facility. Commission officials said they will dedicate the Clark Maritime Centre in Jeffersonville in September. The commission also plans to move its office to Indianapolis from Portage in northwest Indiana.

The session at Ball Corp. auditorium will begin with a breakfast at 9 a.m. and discussion at 10 a.m. State legislators from this area will answer questions from the audience.

Discussion will include health care costs, license branch reforms, transportation and the future of Prairie Creek Lake. Guest speaker will be Sen. Carolyn Brown Mosby, D-Gary. The session is free and open to the public. his professional debut last Nov.

10. The first fight went four rounds. "He was the first one I fought. I knew basically what he was going to do. I must have learned something this one didn't go three," Snider quipped.

Snider decided to go pro in October of last year 11 years after his last fight as an amateur. "I always wished I had become a pro," the senator said after Thursday night's quick bout was over. "Finally, I decided if I was going to do it, it was time to be doing it." Snider was also successful as an amateur fighter. He compiled a 76-8 record before hanging up his gloves. Dusting them off wasn't as hard as he thought it would be.

"I'd always worked out with the fellas who participated in dad's (Charles Snider) amateur boxing program. And I've always run and stayed in pretty good shape," he said. To stay fit, the 146-pound Snider says he runs 5 miles a day four or five days a week, and works out 24 rounds at his father's gym four or five days a week, as well. Fighting seems to run in Snider's family. His father fought "about 45 fights" as an amateur and his 14-year-old son, John, has fought 75 fights, also as an amateur.

"Gene Autry was my dad's trainer when he was in the service," Snider explains proudly. Snider says he got his nickname "Swamper" because he lives near the cypress swamps down in the southwest corner of the state. "Swamper" will return to the ring March 16 in Hammond. He also has fights scheduled for April (Atlantic City, N.J.), May (Washington, D.C.) and June (Chicago). He does not know as yet, however, who his opponents will be, although he says the Washington fight is scheduled to be televised by ESPN.

But Monday, Snider will shed his trunks for a suit and return to the Legislature, where he has been active for 14 years eight in the House of Representatives and four in the Senate.

ADVERTISING STANDARDS INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) It will be easier this year for Democratic presidential candidates to win Indiana delegates to the Democratic National Convention. The Indiana Democratic State Central Committee voted Thursday to change its delegate selection rules after the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus proposed the change. The committee voted to grant a presidential candidate delegates to the national convention if the candidate obtains more than 10 percent of the vote in a congressional district.

Candidates have needed 20 percent of the vote to gain delegates in the past. The rule change would require approval of the Democratic National Committee. Indiana will have 77 delegates at the Democratic National Convention at San Fran- cisco in July. Of those, 53 will be selected from the 10 congressional districts and the rest at-large. "It is extremely important that Democratic voters participating in the May primary feel the process is open and fair so they will stay involved and will support in November whomever the eventual nominee will be," said Rep.

Hurley Goodall, D-Muncie. Goodall, who is also chairman of the Black Legislative Caucus, told the state committee that under the old rule, former vice president Walter Mondale would be able to win all of the 53 congressional delegates if no other candidate obtained 20 percent. "It is possible for Mondale to get 45 percent, all the others to get less than 20 percent, and Mondale gets all the delegates," Goodall said.
