R3 es1ts All A-Lmh Meedls-, ys IHImdle By FREMONT POWER An area adjacent to the proposed Eagle Creek reservoir "fulfills all the criteria and exceedingly well that have been made for location of a huge national high energy laboratory, Dr. Frederick L. Hovde said today. "I would never have recommended it unless I thought it was good enough to be in the 'finals," the Purdue University president said. The location criteria were laid down by the Atomic Energy Commission: That the new $280 million laboratory be near a plentiful water and power supply in or near a large metropolitan center easily accessible to a major jet airport and good highway networks.

The AEC also stipulated that it be near a university complex, which Purdue and Indiana Universities would seem to provide more than sufficiently. "In the last analysis, the final decision may be tipped one way or another by factors that are intangible in a sense," Dr. Hovde said. "About these, you can only guess and speculate." Dr. Hovde is serving as cochairman with Indiana University President Elvis J.

Stahr of a governor's committee on Indiana's bid for the huge nuclear research center. Tuesday the legislature will meet in special ses sion, at the call of Gov. Roger D. Branigin to enact legislation making it possible for Indiana to offer the Federal government a site on either a lease or donation basis. Cost of the land has been estimated at $10 million.

"Undoubtedly, wherever it is located it will make that place one of the world centers for research, especially in the field of physics," Dr. Hovde said. And he foresaw several other results: A stemming of the flow of Indiana-trained Ph.D.'s out of the state and the growth of industries here to provide the service and complex instrumentation that such a laboratory requires. On the matter of keeping Indiana brains in Indiana, the Purdue president said; "It will be large enough and significant enough, in my judgment, to make a significant difference." And on the matter of industry stimulation, he said: "You get an immediate and natural response on the part of private enterprise and companies in existence to provide the necessary services and instrumentation that a program of this kind inevitably demands." It is estimated that the huge center, which may take up to five years to build, will have an annual operating budget of $60 million and employ 2,000.

This includes $6 million system at the South Belmont Street sanitation plant, which engineers say will eliminate foul odors rising Trash In Capsule Is Only Worry By PAT REDMOND, Aviation Editor CAPE KENNEDY, Fla.

All systems were showing "very favorable" today as astronauts James Mc-Divitt and Edward White II whirled through space on their epic four-day journey. The Mission Control Center at Houston said everything appeared to be going smoothly for the Gemini 4 spacecraft, now in its second day of circling the earth. A growing collection of trash and "junk" in their capsule seemed to be the astronauts' only worry as they followed their planned schedule for the mission. Pinch-hitting flight director John Hobbs said the astronauts' cockpit, smaller than the interior of two telephone booths, was "beginning to fill up with bits of paper and stuff which they are supposed to be putting down in the foot well." "We are crowded and we have most of that junk down Russ May Try To Link Ships By HENRY SHAPIRO MOSCOW (UPI) Western observers said today that Soviet space experts, upstaged Kir Amaristn'e ftrsl A in the root well or the capsule," McDivitt reported this ment- hoPe to recoup later this morning. year by trying an unprecedent from lagoons at the plant.

The money will be raised through a bond issue, explained Frank A. Mueller, executive secretary of the board Mueller said engineering plans for the new digestive system will be presented to the board for approval within 30 days. Southside residents have complained since 1944 that odors from lagoons at the sanitation plant make life miserable in late afternoon and early evening during warm weather. Mueller said the odor is caused by warming temperatures which create bacteria on top of the lagoons. Harold Shuman, president of Greater Southside a civic league, told about 75 persons at Manual High School that if.

Marion County Commission- Inner Loop Wins Backing A group associated with the Greater Indianapolis Progress Committee today endorsed the proposed route of the Federal interstate system's inner loop. The organization's downtown development subcommittee passed a resolution urging the committee's executive board to advocate completion of the inner loop program on the designated route. The plan has been approved by Mayor John J.

Barton, the State Highway Commission and the Federal Bureau of Roads. The City Council will hold a public hearing June 14 for groups opposing the inner loop.

Poor could not explain what happened, other than the fact that his car hit the bridge. The accident broke an flinch gas main that crossed the stream. Citizens Gas Coke Utility workers were able to cut off the flow of gas before there was any danger. The 79th Street bridge was commonly known as Flani-gan's Bridge.

Mueller told the group the best way to get action started on the bond issue would be to petition the Board of Sanitary Commissioners.

But he pointed out the board has received "petitions for sanitation improvement which, if granted, would cost in excess of $100 million." The secretary said health and sanitation plans for the Southside also call for a $5 million incinerator. "This additional bonding power was made possible by which increased the board's bonding power by 2 per cent $18 million," Mueller said. ARTICLES TELL OF JOHNSON MASTER PLAN "Almost from the moment he took the presidential oath, Lyndon Johnson began unfolding a master plan designed to win the presidency in his own right and to carve for himself a favorable place in history." Jack Bell, Associated Press reporter and author of the book "The Johnson Treatmen thus describes the actions of the president in the first installment of a serialization of the book. The 12-part series will appear in The News starting Monday. Bell reveals the personality of President Johnson.

The articles tell the Johnson story from the first hours after the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of President John F. Kennedy through the ensuing months during which Johnson put his stamp on the administration.

Kraft had said late yester- day there was possibility the men could open the hatch again later and get rid of some of the equipment. After considering the dif- ficulty White experienced closing the hatch door because of a malfunction of a ratchet and plunger, it was decided not to try to open it again. Hobbs said, "You need three hands to work that hatch and apparently Ed (White) didn't satisfactorily complete that. They worked on the hatch for a number of minutes.

They had quite a bit of difficulty." From what he can gather," Hobbs explained, "the plunger Continued on Page 2 A wrecker pulls car from collapsed 79th Street bridge.

AP Wirephoto. Reprimand 2 In Police Case Two Indianapolis policemen were reprimanded by Chief Noel A. Jones today because of a "lack of communication" concerning a possible robbery suspect now being held for murder. Lt. Spurgeon Davenport, of ficer in charge of the robbery and homicide division, and Sgt.

James Rogers, a member of the division, were repri manded in connection with the activities of murder suspect Frank Brown, 20, 1618 Martindale. Brown is being held for the May 21 fatal shooting of Charles A. Polen, 27, 3020 S. Collier, an attendant at Gene's Texaco Service, 501 E. 38th.

Brown has been bound over to the grand jury and is be ing held without bond. Jones conducted an investi gation after Mrs. George Snyder, owner of Bill Synder's Marathon Service, 3801 E. 38th, complained Brown was a suspect in robberies of her station. Police said attendant Ray Morrow, 47, 3133 Broadway, could not make a positive identification of Brown in connection with the Snyder holdups.

Jones said Sgt. Rogers failed to notify Lt. Davenport, Brown should have been con sidered a suspect in any simi lar holdup. Brown was brought in on a charge of passing a fraudulent check in February, but was released and no investigation of possible robbery activities was made. The chief said that a "lack of communication within the division" caused the situation that would "be rectified." i ed orbital rendezvous.

But Westerners in Moscow believed that the Russians, who sent up the first sputnik more than 7 years ago, planned to score in space again later this year possibly in the fall, They said the Russians, who usually practice for manned flight with unattended space vehicles, will blast off two un- manned capsules and attempt to link them in orbit through electronic impulses from the ground. American scientists had hoped Gemini 4 would ren- dezvous with its Titan 2 rocket yesterday. But this plan was abandoned shortly after launching, leaving the field clear for the Russians to try to be first in a technique considered vital for the construction of space stations. Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov became the first man to "walk" in space when he left his Vosh-kod 2 spaceship for 10 minutes on March 18. Warmer, partly cloudy weather is forecast by the Weather Bureau.

Marion County sheriff's deputies said the driver of the car, Richard L. Poor, 36, 2708 W. Washington, was treated for slight injuries at Methodist Hospital and released.

Sand pile barriers will be placed at the approaches to the bridge to avoid further accidents, they said. The street was a major thoroughfare for residents of Northeast Marion County and was the only major crossing of the creek for 4 miles.

Deputies reported Poor was traveling about 60 miles an hour when his 1955 Buick struck the support. The car went over the edge of the street and fell about 10 feet to an embankment. The distance from the bridge bed to the creek is about 35 feet. Poor suffered face and chest injuries. He was not wearing a seat belt, deputies said.

It would cost $250,000 to replace the structure. Poor, who was not held, was traveling on 79th and hit a support on the east end of the structure.

The first would determine whether damages can be obtained from the motorist's insurance company. The second would concern the possible cost of reconstruction of the 45-year-old bridge. The county commissioners this morning hired Fraps Associates, 3763 Broadway, an engineering firm, to obtain three bids for removal of the bridge and to prepare plans for a new bridge. The fallen structure is interfering with drainage and could cause dangerous erosion in the area, the commissioners said. is stand against racial segregation.
