Howard County Convention and Visitors Commission Director Peggy Ragland contacted Cannelton, which had a $90,000 budget for its 1987 event. Ragland reported that they wound up with a 15,000 deficit.

Contrary to advice from the Rogers company, the Gatlin Brothers were hired to perform for 17,000, and attendance was poor. "If they had not done this, they would have made $2,000. They said they were happy with the Rogers company," Ragland said. Hagerstown made 10,000 from its 1982 celebrations. Its pageant, which lasted six nights, went well despite the coldest, rainiest August in years.

The bottom line is whether the community wants a nice celebration or a spectacular event, said Howard County Museum Director Kelly Thompson. He co-chairs the sesquicentennial committee with Dick Pickering of the Kokomo City administration. Thompson and Dave Broman of the Howard County Historical Society related their experience of Highland Park's centennial celebrations last year. 'We all put in a lot of work, and it was nice enough, but it was hardly memorable," Thompson said. Margie Johnson of Saint Joseph Hospital and Health Center said she didn't feel comfortable making a decision that day because she missed the first meeting and did not have sufficient time to digest the proposal.

But she urged the others to go ahead. Sister M. Martin McEntee, president of the hospital, asked the co- Memo alleges free ride No independent confirmation of the charges made WASHINGTON (AP) The business partner of President Clinton's Hollywood friend Harry Thomason wrote in a memo sent to the White House that he had heard assertions the charter airline that carried the White House press corps had worked against Clinton politically. Darnell Martens, Thomason's associate in TRM an air charter' consulting firm, charged in the memo that "Republican-operated" Airline of the Americas, the White House charter carrier, had given free trips to White House reporters in an effort to produce favorable coverage of George Bush's re-election campaign. Martens' memo, handed out by the White House without comment, said the Federal Election Commission rejected the charter line's attempts to have the alleged free trips considered a campaign contribution.

There was no independent confirmation that any reporters or news organizations accepted any free trips, chairs, "Do you think this is a good way to go?" "If we want to do something small (for the sesquicentennial), we could do it ourselves. But if you want a huge celebration, this is the way to go," Thompson said. Pickering said, "I agree with Kelly. It is what we want. But if you don't all agree, we can't do it ourselves." Next year is also the 150th anniversary of Grace United Methodist Church; the centennial of the Greentown Glass Festival; 100 years since Elwood Haynes tested the first commercially successful automobile; and the 20th anniversary of the Haynes- Apperson Festival.

"It's a time in our history we will never see Pickering said. Dick Lange, general manager of WWKI Radio which organizes the Haynes-Apperson Festival said, "I'm comfortable it will flow well with the festival we've Other members of the sesquicentennial planning committee include Mayor Robert Sargent, who is honorary chairman, leaders from business and industry, Indiana University- Kokomo, the labor movement, the Kokomo chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and various civic organizations. Local society writer Pat DiSalvo made the motion to accept the proposal. It was seconded by county historian Ned Booher. The committee's decision to accept the Rogers company 's proposal was unanimous.

The Rogers company representatives will return to Kokomo for the next meeting June 24. Anyone who is interested in working with the committee on the project should contact Kelly Thompson at 452-4314 or Dick Pickering at 4567444. that Airline of the Americans made such offers or that any such purposed arrangements were considered by the Federal Election Commission. Martens said in a subsequent telephone interview that he had no way to verify the assertions in the memo and emphasized that he had never for the document to be distrlb- jted outside his own company. "This was just hearsay information hat was given to me and was in a re- jort that was never meant to be read by said Martens.

He said he was "kind of being pulled into things" and expressed regret that "there are things going on parallel that don't involve me." "I wouldn't bring this up because I have no facts or verifications for It was anecdotal information that would come up with no backup and no way to verify. Nor would I have ever put it out for that reason: it just isn't something I can Thomason has acknowledged faxing a copy of the memo to the White House four days before the start of an audit subsequently cited as the reason Local update for firing the seven-member White House travel staff. Martens who has denied any efforts to obtain business advantage for himself or his friends appeared in the memo to be attempting to link the charter airline's alleged political ties to Bush to the White House travel office's purported refusal even to consider a competitive bid for the press corps travel business from a company that had arranged charter flights for the Clinton presidential campaign. Martens acknowledged he was a paid staff member on the Clinton campaign who helped arrange charter flights for the Clinton campaign and press covering the candidacy. He said his for Thomason, Richland Martens, Inc.

collected a fee based on a percentage of billings or hours flown for air charter consulting work done for the Clinton campaign. In the first of two telephone interviews Saturday, Martens denied he was seeking any business advantage for himself or Thomason.
