Edgar D. Whitcomb, who has a big, state-rented Cadillac (cost: $6,276 a year, including insurance), is going to get a smaller limousine. The new car also a Cadillac will be delivered in the next month or two, according to M. F. Renner, commissioner of the State Department of Administration.

He said getting a smaller car was the governor's idea. Whitcomb's reason was he doesn't need a car as big as the present limousine all the Wildhack time. If an occasion should arise for which a large car was needed temporarily, it could be rented for that specific occasion, Renner said. Renner also said he may start leasing cars for the governor on a one-shot basis when he needs one after fly- ing to another Indiana city. At present, the governor's driver 'sometimes drives to the city ahead of time so he will be there for Whitcomb's visit.

Public School Payrolls The State Finance Board today agreed to make a "monthly" distribution of more than $20.9 million to public schools one week earlier than usual to permit some of them to meet Friday's payrolls. State tuition support grants formerly were made on a quarterly basis, but were slowed down to monthly distributions beginning last year because of the state's own general fund money squeeze.

The union ratification committee voted 52 to 23 yesterday to accept the proposal forged in the Washington office of a Federal mediator.

Crater OK Asked MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) Antiwar sympathizers at Ball State University sent a letter to school officials yesterday asking authorization for a symbolic bomb crater in front of the Administration Building. Twice this week a group of students dug a hole about 20 feet in diameter and two feet deep and each time maintenance crews filled it. Police told diggers the second time there would be arrests if the hole appeared again. Rich Johnson, a spokesman for Vietnam Veterans for Peace, said the antiwar group wants the symbolic crater as part of its demonstrations tomorrow and Friday against increased bombings in Vietnam.

Johnson said protesters also have asked that classes Friday be devoted to discussions of the war. Johnson said students have agreed to fill the hole Friday night. "The administration is trying to bury the issue," he said. Rate Hike OK Sought The Southeastern Indiana Rural Telephone Co-operative, serving residents of Jennings, Jefferson, Ripley, Switzerland and Dearborn Counties, has asked for a rate increase and permission to borrow $1.9 million from the REA to purchase new equipment. In a petition filed with the Public Service Commission, the co-operative asked for a hike in telephone rates to permit expansion of service, which would include eventual one-party service for all customers.

The proposed new monthly rates for basic rural service would be $10.60 for businesses and $7.60 for residences. The present rates are $7.60 and $4.80. Gjiing increased costs, the town of The Indianapolis School Board last night approved creation of a Career Education Center, named architects for additions to Tech, Marshall, Shortridge and Washing High Schools, and approved a procedure for handling school complaints. It was one of the briefest School Board meetings in the last three years. The Career Center will be housed at Tech and will involve a reorganization of Tech's industrial arts programs to attract students from throughout the city to use the highly specialized equipment Tech has.

Students from other high schools will take their academic courses at their home high schools. The reorganization will involve hiring a director who will have the equivalent status of a vice-principal. Supt. Stanley C. Campbell said the reorganization of the six industrial education departments and the hiring of the director will cost more money than is presently allocated to the school system, but greater reimbursement from the state will be available.

Two architectural firms, Gibson and Associates and James Associates, were named to draw up plans for a $5.5 million multipurpose building at Tech. McGuire and Shook Corp. was ap- dates without invalidating his ballot. Q. What happens if too many candidates are marked? A.

The entire ballot is invalidated. In Indianapolis, for instance, if a voter votes for more than seven candidates, the entire ballot is invalid. Q. How will officials make it clear that it is possible to vote for candidates in the school board race without voting tor other candidates in the primary or declaring a party preference? A. A voter only has to walk into the precinct polling place and state he wants to vote only for the school board candidates and does not want to declare his politics.

After signing the voter list the clerk will mark down "school board only" and give him a paper ballot for the school board election. Q. Who at the polls will be designated to solve any disputes that arise? A. The law is very clear on that. The inspector and the two judges will huddle and come up with a decision in the event of a dispute.

If anyone has questions about something that has happened at a poll, we have manned, rotary phones here and will send a deputy election team with one person from each party to resolve the matter. In the Indianapolis School Board election there are 13 candidates running for a four-year term that begins this July 1. Voters may only select four of these candidates. Six other candidates are running for a four-year term that begins July 1, 1974, and voters may select three of the candidates. Voters should read the ballot carefully before voting, especially in some of the suburban school board races where candidates are elected by district.

If a voter makes a mistake in filling out the paper ballot, he can request that the ballot be mutilated and will be given a new one. None of the school board candidates will be listed by their slating organization. Only the names of the candidates will appear on the ballot, in rotating alphabetical order, so voters should know the name of the person they intend to vote for before going to the poll. pointed as architect for an addition at Washington High School, Snyder and Blackburn Associates was hired for an addition at Shortridge High School, and the Everett I. Brown Co.

was hired for an addition to Marshall High School. Complaint Form The board approved a form for filing complaints against the school system, or complaints concerning incidents in the schools. If a person is not satisfied his concern has been resolved after an informal discussion with the principal or other administrators, he can obtain a form to fill out. Within five days the principal shall have a hearing with the person who submits the document. Witnesses may be heard and evidence may be presented.

Three days after the hearing the principal shall make a written reply to the complaint. If the complainant is still not satisfied, he can appeal to an area co-ordinator or an assistant superintendent and have a second hearing, which will also involve a written response. If the complainant still is unsatisfied, a third hearing procedure may be requested with the superintendent. During the informal session George Farkas, supervisor of physical education, health and recreation, discussed the implications of a proposed resolution to give girls equal parity with boys regarding use of athletic facilities and interscholastic sports. Farkas said there has been an ongoing program in most high schools for such things as kickball, volleyball, track and gymnasiums for girls.

The difficulties with expanding the program, he said, are a shortage of facilities and a shortage of women instructors to coach girls' athletics. Campbell, who has strongly urged the expansion of girls' athletics, cautioned the board about passing a resolution that could not be implemented. He urged some planning to set up a timetable and find the personnel. Martz, noting that enrollment projections indicate there will be overcrowding at Howe, Manual and Marshall, said the board should announce early any pupil reassignments that will have to be made. CD Aiming Big Because of limited resources, the State Civil Defense Department will direct its efforts at major communities where most of the population is.

J. Ray Martz, acting state civil defense director, told the Governor's Civil Defense Advisory Counsel yesterday if effective programs can be established in the major population centers, "they may rub off a little" on adjoining counties. Martz suggested the ranks of civil defense workers could be swelled by returning servicemen. He said the Federal government will give credit for military retirement for volunteer work by veterans. Martz said his agency also will promote seminars for county civil defense directors and other public officials.

Local and civil defense workers should be educated on how the political system operates and "how to get things done," said Gilbert Leonard, Terre Haute, advisory board chairman. He said this does not mean, however, getting involved in partisan politics. Markin Time We let the good Lord makt us new. Then everywhere a better view. The world is greener, dark days brighter And every burden will seem lighter.

Luther Mirtiin Evening Prayer The power of speech, or communication, is one of the most wonderful gifts God has given us. Through words we can tell others our thoughts, our feelings, our hopes, and our joys. What we say to others can change completely their attitude toward us and establish a new relationship. God's Word found in the Scriptures should profoundly influence our lives. The Rev.

"If she is sent to prison for a significant term, that's one thing," DOUGLAS FOSTER, a New York lawyer representing the Swiss said. "If she receives a suspended sentence, that's another." The World Chess Federation should take tougher measures against American challenger BOBBY FISCHER to force him into playing, VLASTIMIL HORT, Czechoslovakia's chess grand master said in Prague. Fischer has refused to play world champion BORIS SPASSKY of Russia because, Fischer said, the financial conditions for the matches were not good enough.

"The American evidently forgets that he belongs to the large family of chess players. He resembles, even in the eyes of his friends, increasingly a businessman," Hort said. "How many sympathies and friends he has lost over the past feqynonths!" By L. T. BROWN A Buckingham Palace spokesman "jhas dismissed as "quite unrealistic, really" a British journalist's proposal I that part of the palace, QUEEN ELIZABETH'S London residence, be open to the public.

"This idea is a very old chestnut and has been mooted again and again for years," he said. "But there are very real problems that speak against it. Columnist SIMON JENKINS of the Evening Standard suggested opening the state apartments, situated on the opposite side of the building to the queen's private residence, to the public. In nixing the plan, the palace spokes- man said, "First, there is the very im- portant matter of security. Second, the fact this is, after all, a working house- hold." Happy Birthday, Rudy! As the only inmate in West Berlin's Spandau prison, RUDOLPH HESS observed his 78th birthday.

Sr Actor CARY GRANT is suing 20th for $1 million, saying the studio lifted scenes from a 1952 movie 'fin which he starred and used them in a movie. Grant's suit, filed in Los Angeles I Superior Court, says he didn't give per-mission for the studio to use scenes it from "Monkey Business" in "Marilyn." He said he wasn't paid for the added I use of the scenes and that their appearance in the 1968 film hurt him profes- sionally.

The election of School Board members next Tuesday at the same time as the political primary appears to be confusing some voters, it was reported today. Paper ballots will be used for the School Board election and political choices will be made on voting machines. The paper ballots are necessary because some persons who are 17 years old will be eligible to vote in the Republican or Democratic primaries, but cannot vote for School Board candidates who are actually running for election. Also, a few precincts cover more than one school district. The following questions about voting procedure are based on questions asked in an open letter to the Marion County Election Board by the Black Coalition, an organization which has been involved in voter registration and education for several years.

Answers were given by E. Allen Hunter, county clerk. The questions and answers are applicable to all school board elections in Marion County. Q. How will your workers make sure that each person gets a paper ballot for the school board candidates, whether he knows to ask for it or not? A.

Voters will not have to ask for a paper ballot. When the voter walks into the polling place and signs the voter list, the poll workers have been instructed to give the voter paper ballots for the school board race. Q. Are there clear guidelines as to when a ballot Is invalid? A. Our inspectors will attend a school Sunday where they will be given materials for the election.

They also will be given booklets with the state law and regulations of the State Election Board. It is very clear in these booklets what constitutes a bad ballot. Q. Does a voter have to vote for candidates to fill all of the vacancies on the school board (which in the case of the Indianapolis School Board is seven candidates)? A. No.

A voter may vote for fewer than jhe maximum number of candi.
