Brown, 17 years on the Ohio Supreme Court is enough. "I've always felt that I would want to stay on the bench as long as I found the work gratifying and enjoyable," Brown said, "but to be perfectly honest about it, it's getting a little old." Brown, former state attorney general and candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination In 1970, announced Saturday that he will retire from the bench effective Sept. 1.

Brown, 66, said he is leaving the court to become a partner in the Columbus office of the Cleveland-based law firm of Thompson Hine Flory. "I thought that 66 was a rational time for me to take my leave," Brown said. The law practice idea "struck me as interesting." Although he has advised Gov. James A. Rhodes of his plans, he has not officially submitted his resignation.

His successor to the post, to be named by Rhodes, will have to run next year for the unexpired term when two other Justices are elected to six-year terms. Brown was first elected to the court in 1964 and won election to his first full six-year term in 1966. But he resigned in 1968 when Rhodes plucked him from the bench to become attorney general after William B. Saxbe was elected to the U.S. Senate.

Brown was a candidate for the GOP gubernatorial nomination in the 1970 election, but lost out to then-state auditor Roger Cloud. Cloud was later defeated by Democrat John Gilligan in the governor's race. Brown ran for the Supreme Court again in 1972 and was elected by a 1 million-vote margin. He was reelected in 1978 with 57 percent of the vote after he said he spent only $3,000 on his campaign. Although he is blessed with one of Ohio's better political name, Brown said he believes it hasn't won him many votes.

"There is no doubt that my name has been helpful to me in politics, particularly when Paul Brown was riding so high in pro football," Brown said, "but I also resented it when anyone insinuated that the only reason I was in politics was because of the name." Rhodes is expected to name Brown's successor in the next few weeks. "I don't care who the governor appoints as long as he is a good.hard-working, conscientious fellow," Brown said. Brown was born in Cleveland but attended primary and secondary schools in Youngstown. He received an A.B. degree at Ohio State University in 1937 and his law degree there in 1939.

He began law practice in Youngstown the same year. He was discharged from the Army as a major in 1945. In 1942, he married an American Army nurse, Helen Page, he had met in Ireland. They have seven children.

Eckhart, a Democratic chairman of the PUCO from 1971-1973, vowed the petition drive will continue in order for the issue to go on next year's ballot. Each November issue is to qualify an initiated proposal that would require the direct election by the state's voters of members of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. But Henry W.

Though 285,000 signatures are required, they must be checked to ensure they come from registered, qualified voters. Another group had hoped expected to touch off major controversy, with millions of dollars probably spent for both support and opposition. Issue 1 will be pushed by the Ohio Committee for Free Enterprise Competition, comprised mostly of insurance companies seeking to end the state Issue 1, which allows private insurance companies to sell workers' compensation insurance in competition with the state, officially was certified earlier.

Rhodes the drawing of "building blocks', used to create districts In Ohio's urban areas.

Democrats, with 3-2 control of a state Apportionment Board which otherwise will reapportion the Legislature, said Rhodes' role in the preliminary stages of the FAIR plan negates any non-partisan claim. Spokesmen for the FAIR plan expect to spend about $1 million promoting Issue 2, while the Ohio Democratic Party and some labor groups against Issue 2 hope to come up with a similar amount. Cincinnati youngster 'Packs away9 video points CINCINNATI (AP) When 12-year-old Randy Otto sits down to play Pac Man a modern replacement for the pinball machine grownups crowd around and watch. They were watching again Sunday night when Otto outplayed two 20 year-old college students to qualify for a contest in Columbus next week and a chance to advance to the national finals Aug. 30 in Fayetteville, N.C., where the winner receives $10,000.

Otto didn't flinch Sunday as the circle of spectators watched. With his 12-year-old legs crossed, only the toes of his right leg touching the ground, Otto even occasionally turned from the screen and smiled at his smiling father. monopoly in the field of the injured worker insurance. According to the committee, competition in the workers' compensation market would create higher and prompter benefits for workers injured on the job. Those opposing the issue include state officials and others who claim Ohio's compensation program is among the finest in the nation.

Opponents say the private firms, including some from out-of-state, are trying to expand profits by getting in on a new insurance market. The Fair and Impartial Redistricting Committee is the official backer of Issue 2, claiming bipartisanship. Democrats said it's a front for the Ohio Republican Party, which hopes to get a better break for GOP candidates for Congress and the state Legislature. Issue 2 contains what FAIR officials call a bipartisan system for drawing new election districts, required after each decennial federal census to reflect population shifts. But if approved by voters, it would delegate a key role in the process to GOP Gov.

Disappearance remains mystery "Most of the time, when he's going good, he stands on one foot Just like that," said Randy's dad, Ron. The father has watched often at Pooh's Tap Room in Northside, a bar he owns. "Those softball teams come in after they play and, if I'm there, ihey usually say, 'Get If ne comes, he usually has half the team watching," he said. Pac-Man is a video game, the computer-age replacement for pinball machines. Most are interchangeable.

But Pac-Man is different from other games. The player turns the lever and moves a little yellow circle that has an open mouth through 'a maze. As the circle moves, it "packs away" dots and scores points. Four little monsters chase the yellow circle. They are named Shadow, Speedy, Bashful and Pokey.

Each is a different color. If they catch the yellow circle three times, the game is over. The game is accompanied by cheerful-sounding electronic beeps representative of the end on Loony Tunes cartoons just before Porky Pig says, "Th-th-th-that's all, folks." hmuA'i Original IHiti SkoJN 210 S.Frent StrMt, Downtown Fromont OPEN 6 DAYS A WEEK Sgt.

But Otto, a student at Cin DETROIT (AP) The disappearance of a young Michigan woman in Toledo, Ohio, continues to baffle authorities who are unsure whether the disappearance is linked to the deaths of four young people killed in the area in the past month, police said. Cynthia Anderson, 20, of Lambertville has not been seen since Tuesday morning, officers said Sunday. A janitor at the Neller and Rabbit legal center in Toledo where Miss Anderson worked as a secretary said he saw her enter the building, police said. Her 1980 Chevrolet Citation was found parked outside the building and when two lawyers arrived at the office about noon the office lights, air conditioner and radio had been turned on.

Police said three of four people found slain in Toledo in the past month worked for a supermarket chain with a store in the same shopping center that housed Miss Anderson's law office. "There are a lot of spooky people around that shopping center," said Michael Anderson, the missing woman's father. "They drive by real slowly and Cynthia sits just behind a glass window on the main floor."
