The House Government Operations Committee said the NIH had been warned more than a year ago to keep closer check on the way research money was being spent. "It has become evident that Police to Move Up Street Soon Moving time for the Indianapolis Police Department is fast approaching, and with it a week-long job of carrying the entire department up Alabama Street to the police wing of the City-County building.

Judge John Niblack of the Circuit Court and Dr. Walter E. Hemphill were standing on Washington Street watching bulldozers pull down walls of the old Courthouse. The walls of the old Circuit Court were falling at the same time.

Hemphill casually inquired: "Judge, have you moved to the new County-City building?" "Oh yes." Niblack replied conversationally. "I have moved my office and the courtroom." Then both laughed as Niblack caught the significance of the query. Some Democrats analyzing Center Township Assessor James F. entry into the struggle for county leadership of the party against hopeless odds believe it has overtones for the 1963 city election. They speculate that Cunningham might back off from his bid to replace Mayor Charles Boswell as county chairman if James Noland, choice of most party leaders for the chairmanship, would name city attorney John J.

Frank Rodriguez, 23, and his wife, Elvira, 20, said they are afraid to talk about the Cuban political situation because both of their families, still living in Cuba, might be punished.

They left after they couldn't find the difficulty. She then discovered her billfold missing from the purse she had placed on the front seat. It contained $1.50. In still another crime, Shirley Benson, Mooresville, was visiting her grandmother, Mrs. Edna Pettigrew, at her home, 1756 Dawson, when she let a strange woman use the phone.

The audit showed the federal money had been used to buy practically all the company's office equipment and furnishings and all the rent, maintenance and remodeling charges came out of the money earmarked for research. The company also charged off to the NIH grant such items as salary for corporate officers for time spent in directors' meetings dealing with nonresearch business.

Travel expenses of company officials also had no bearing on the federal project, the audit indicated. "While the amount of NIH research funds paid to this company represents only a small percentage of total NIH grant expenditures, NIH policies and management procedures provide no assurance that practices similar to those followed by this grantee are not widespread," the report said. The committee questioned whether NIH officials understand their responsibility for management of public funds. NIH, the report continued, seems inclined to give the fiscal responsibility to the grantees on the grounds that "the research grant is, in essence, a trust." "The committee believes that a government agency is equally responsible for the proper, efficient and economical use of public funds," the report went on. The committee also questioned why NIH permits federal money to he used by "some institutions" to pay the contract researchers more than their regular salaries.

"The committee believes it preferable that NIH limit is support for research projects originating with the investigator to non-profit organizations, and extend such assistance to commercial organizations only in exceptional circumstances," the report said. The House group also was angered because NIH had failed to follow up last year's recommendation that it form "field review teams' to check periodically on the research projects and report the progress to NIH officials.

Since both of them are only-children, leaving their families was very difficult.

But, as Rodriguez said, "When a man is young and has two hands and two feet plus some, intelligence he can do anything." And that is what he will do, anything. He had worked in a Cuban bank and would naturally like to find a similar position here, but he is anxious to do any kind of work.

"It appears that Congress has been overzealous in appropriating money for health research. The conclusion is inescapable, from a study of NIH's loose administrative practices, that the pressure for spending increasingly large appropriations has kept NIH from giving adequate attention to basic management problems." The House committee called attention to the fact that the average quality of the research projects has "been steadily declining in recent years." "It is probable that the large annual increases in the NIH appropriations made in the past several years has contributed to the increasing support of lower quality research," the report concluded.
