The new section between 21st and Illinois measuring 1.27 miles has a $19 million price tag on it. This includes cost of construction, right of way, design, lighting, signing and other costs. Dave Waggoner of the Highway Commission's information staff said the cost "averages out at $13,241,205 a mile." About 135 years ago, 141 miles of Cumberland Road, better known as National Road or U.S.

40 from Richmond to Terre Haute, cost $1,136,000. It has been rebuilt and resurfaced many times at many times its original cost. With the opening of the new section, motorists will be able to drive nonstop and without encountering a traffic signal or stop sign from Illinois Street to Gate 3 of the Indiana Toll Road in Northern Indiana about 150 miles. Motorists can go farther north into Illinois and Wisconsin via connecting interstates.

Calls For The size and location of the centers would be determined by the inmate population from various regions throughout the state. The commissioner said the State Reformatory at Pendleton, where a disturbance broke out Sunday, is overcrowded by as many as 500 to 600 inmates.

The prison was built to house 1,400 to 1,500 inmates, and the present population is about 2,000. As many as 3,000 inmates have been at the reformatory at one time. Heyne said the overcrowded condition was not the reason for the disturbance, explaining that his opinion is that a minority of inmates involved in a "revolutionary movement" caused the problem. He said this minority must be segregated from inmates who want to be rehabilitated. The Department of Correction will attempt to "illustrate" to the 1973 General Assembly that a community correction center concept is feasible, Heyne said, and that the state would not only rehabilitate inmates, but also save money.

Favors Conventions TERRE HAUTE, Ind.

(AP)-Former Gov. Matthew E. Welsh, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for gov-ernor, says he favors candidate selection at state conventions instead of through direct primary elections. Welsh opposes a bill passed by the Indiana Senate Tuesday calling for a direct primary for U.S. senator and elective state offices.

During a campaign tour here yesterday, the former governor blamed direct primaries for the enormous sums of money being spent on campaigns. Mayor 'Caught' BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (API-Patrolman Nolan Eads fought City Hall and-contrary to the old adage made it pay off.

After his court appearance, Mc Goskey, $30 poorer, promoted Eads to patrolman first class.

The promotion had been pending. "I think they did a very fine job," said McCIoskey, whose car was ticketed in the municipal building parking lot. By SKIP HESS A complete reform of Indiana's penal system was called for today by the commissioner of the Indiana Department of Correction who said the present system is failing to rehabilitate inmates in state prisons. Robert P. Heyne, in an interview by The News, said the department hopes to have a "salable" program to present to the 1973 General Assembly, which will include the opening of eight to 10 community correction centers throughout the state "for inmates desirous of helping themselves." Heyne stressed, however, that Indiana will have to continue with its maximum-security institutions because, "We are still going to have the hardheads, the violent inmates who do not want to be rehabilitated and who don't want to be anything but a problem." The commissioners said a rehabilitation program for the "violent" inmates will be initiated at the maximum-security prisons.

Heyne said the state's "problem" is that it does not have "diversified types of facilities so it can isolate the violent, militant (inmates) minority, who want to do nothing but tear down, from the majority who want to be rehabilitated." He said an answer to the problem would be to open community correction centers where nonviolent inmates could be rehabilitated through various educational, vocational and community programs. "For instance, we could have a correctional complex in Fort Wayne which would serve a region of 10 counties," Heyne explained. "Inmates would be allowed to participate in programs in their own communities, learn a vocation, and possibly even be given the privilege of going home to their families on the weekends." The commissioner said citizens might be "leery or frightened" of such a program, but he said "it must be stressed, and repeated, that the dangerous, violent inmate would not be sent to the centers." There are inmates in Indiana prisons who "do not need maximum security," Heyne said, but under the present system, the state has no alternative but to imprison them with inmates he terms violent. "The community correction centers would not be run like a Sunday school," the commissioner said. "There would be confinements, and the inmates who would be sent to the centers would be carefully screened.

I feel that such a program is very promising, but it should be understood that we can't make the change overnight." Heyne said the department will conduct research studies to determine where community correction centers should be located. "A center we would build in Gary would have to be larger than the one we would build in, say, Jeffersonville or New Albany," Heyne said.
