Proxmire asked. Rep.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD AWARD OF THE WEEK: To Ed Anna, senior in the Wayne County Joint Vocational School of Smithville, Ohio, as the United States welding champion. Sen. Howard M. Metzenbaum, D-Ohio, noted in the Record that Anna will represent the U.S. at the International Skill Olympics in Pusan, Korea.

He explained that the President, when asked about deregulating the price of natural gas, had answered that it had been a "campaign statement and commitment" in favor of deregulation.

Michel said that President Carter had opposed deregulation all last year, and he added: "There has not been a more stunning use of the dead-pan technique since the days of Buster Keaton, a silent film star some of you (members) may be old enough to remember." As an afterthought Michel suggested Carter should have a starring role in a new movie, "Gone With the Wind." Don't settle for a few minutes of headlines. Get the full story In The Indianapolis News.

A Palace TIM Ntwi WaiMnttM Iwm WASHINGTON The cherry blossoms and the tourists began arriving in the nation's capital this week, but there were only echoes in the congressional chambers. Most members were back home listening to the gripes of constituents or off to some foreign country to attend those interparliamentary conferences that no one seems to know much about. But if the tourists couldn't visit their senator or representative, they could take the guided tours of the Capitol and perhaps wander over and watch the construction of the new Senate office building.

Sen. William Proxmire, has described the $122 million building as one "that would make a Persian prince green with envy." The cost of the building is 2j times the original estimate, or a cost overrun of 154 percent. The frills include a swank rooftop dining room where senators can ponder the country's latest problems. A third gymnasium on Capitol Hill for the senators also will be provided in the new building. The dining room and gym will be off limits to tourists when completed.

Police Set Up Report System The Indianapolis Police Department has started a new program for taking reports when residents are away from their homes for an extended period of time, said Chief Eugene Gallagher. Persons planning to leave should provide police with an "unattended house report," Gallagher said. The report includes the resident's name, address, dates of departure and return, emergency telephone numbers and names of persons authorized to enter the house. The unattended house report will be sent to the sector commander and assigned to field personnel to check during the regular patrol, the chief said. "Since most residential burglaries occur while the occupants are away from home, the increased patrol of the residences that are unoccupied will hopefully aid considerably in reducing the number of burglaries that occur.

"The extent to which the crime rate reduced is not greater or no less than the extent to which each individual, in conjunction with the police department, willing to participate in this total effort to further reduce crime in our community," Gallagher said. The chief reported that Indianapolis experienced a 20.6 percent decrease of burglaries for February and a 17.9 percent decrease from January through February of last year. Gallagher offered the following suggestions to residents to further secure their homes: Doors should have adequate lock systems, such as double cylinder locks a deadbolt lock system, including bar-track locks for patio doors. Check all windows and openings, such as coal chutes, for easy access and make sure they are properly secured. If basement windows are never used, consider nailing them shut.

Keep outdoor and indoor lights on when away from home. If possible, install an automatic timer to turn on lights and possibly a radio at appropriate times. Do not leave spare keys under door mats, in mailboxes or above windows. Make sure all ladders are securely locked up and never leave garage doors open or unlocked. Never keep large amounts of money or other valuables at home.

Rent safe deposit box and use private markings to identify valuable personal property. List serial numbers of radios, televisions, firearms, machines and stocks and bonds. Trim bushes and hedges around doors and windows so entry points to house are in clear view. Stop deliveries and make arrangements to have unsolicited material kept off the doorstep or picked up from the mailbox. a of $41 Grover C.
