It was chaired by Valjean Dickinson, an MKNA officer.

Issues passed by the group of several hundred people included: A formal request for a public inquest by the coroner's office. 2 A request to Mayor Richard Lugar that Chief Winston Churchill suspend officer Charles L. Sparks for 10 days, pending an investigation. 3 A motion to have a councilman introduce an ordinance to the City-County Council to prohibit the use of firearms to kill animals and a public hearing on the matter. 4 The creation of a citizens committee to investigate the shooting incident.

5 The creation of an ordinance that would require any officer who kills a person be automatically relieved of his duty for a 10-day period pending an investigation. The creation of a task force in the MKNA neighborhood to draw up guidelines on general police conduct in the area. 7 That the group assist the family of the deceased girl in seeking legal help to bring criminal charges against the officer. Although he said the case is closed against an Indianapolis policeman who accidentally killed a 13-year-old girl as he shot a stray dog Thursday, Police Chief Winston L. Churchill has proposed some changes in animal control procedure.

"As far as I'm concerned, the case is closed," Churchill said, explaining no punitive action will be taken against Patrolman Charles L. Sparks in the accidental shooting of Joyce McCray, 4240 Carrollton. "But," Churchill added, "I'm the shooting of any animals unless there is immediate danger, and I think dog pound employes should be equipped with, and trained in the use of, tranquilizer guns for use against stray dogs." Miss McCray was killed by a 00 buckshot pellet Thursday afternoon as Sparks fired a shotgun blast at a dog in the yard of 4252 Carrollton. Pellets from the weapon passed through a garage and struck Miss McCray, a police investigation disclosed. (Funeral arrangements, Page 20) Churchill said the patrolman would be reassigned to another patrol sector.

In a meeting with neighborhood residents and William A. Leak, public safety director, Churchill yesterday rejected requests that Sparks be discharged and that the investigation be reopened. Last night the residents had another meeting, and discussed the incident for more than three hours. 00 BUCKSHOT 46?

Killed rate Traffic In As 4-Day Weekend Walter John Petlikowslcy, left, charged with aiding hijacker AP. irnrieY Pipn Lost His Pants sengers and a passenger in the Hurley auto were treated for minor injuries at a Kendallville hospital, state police said. About three hours earlier and 1,000 feet west of that crash scene ORVILLE E. RANSBOTTOM, 38, and his wife PATRICIA, 22, Kendallville, were killed when a car driven by Mrs. Ransbottom crashed head on with a semitrailer truck driven by David W.

Golden, 35, Diamond, Ohio, troopers said. They said Golden, who was unhurt, told them he flashed his lights repeatedly as the ammunition, and tables and calculators for computing airspeed time distance problems. v-'- The Justice Department said the case will be turned over to a grand jury in St. Louis where the skyjacking began and where the money was handed over to the pirate. It was later found in a farmer's field near Peru.

The FBI charges McNally and Petlikowsky developed the skyjacking plot and made "a number" of trips to St. Louis to scout the area. Welch said they chose St. Louis because they felt airport security there was looser than in Detroit. On June 22, the FBI's version of the script continued, Petlikowsky drove McNally to the airport in St.

Louis, then went home to wait for the call to pick up McNally and the money in Monroe. McNally, wearing a shaggy wig, boarded Flight 119 for Tulsa, and commandeered the plane. Back on the ground at St. Louis, two FBI agents boarded the plane dressed as mechanics, but the bureau said they could not stop the crime because the skyjacker was holding the submachine gun to a stewardess' head. The skyjacker had to change planes after a car drove onto the runway and smashed into the plane.

The incident is still unexplained. The driver has been charged with illegal interference with an airliner. When the second plane took off, the pilot, unknown to the skyjacker, circled St. Louis twice. Welch said this is what threw off the careful computations of the skyjacker and made him jump off 200 miles short of his target.

When the skyjacker jumped, the FBI said, the wind blast was greater than he had anticipated. That's when he lost the submachine gun, the money and his pants. Almost 24 hours later, Petlikowsky walked into the River Rouge police station and told them he had some information to give about the skyjacking. DETROIT (AP) The FBI said last week's airliner skyjacking was well planned, but the hijacker lost his pants, submachine gun and the $502,500 ransom he got from American Airlines. In addition, Neil Welch, head of the FBI office in Detroit, said yesterday the skyjacker was identified by two FBI agents who boarded the plane and he left the ransom note fingerprints and all on the plane.

The hijacker wound up in Peru, instead of Monroe, where the FBI said he had intended to land. The FBI said it was led to Martin McNally, 28, of Wyandotte, by the fingerprints and by an informant's tip. McNally, an unemployed high school dropout, was arrested Wednesday night on a charge of air piracy. John Petli-kowsky, 31, Ecorse, went to the FBI yesterday and told the agents he had unwittingly driven McNally back to Detroit. Agents said Petlikowsky later gave a complete account of the skyjacking.

He was arrested and charged with aiding and abetting an air piracy. He and McNally are being held in lieu of $100,000 bond each. Welch said Petlikowsky told agents he assisted McNally, making several trips to St. Louis to further the plot; helped shorten the machine gun used in the hijacking; drove McNally to St. Louis for the heist, and picked him up after he parachuted in Indiana.

No Confession Welch said Petlikowsky's statement, contained in a complaint filed yesterday in St. Louis, could not be termed a confession. When FBI agents searched McNally's home Thursday, they said, they found parts and a stock for a submachine gun, Begins Mitchell Quits Nixon Committee WASHINGTON (UPI) John N. Mitchell resigned today as President Nixon's re-election campaign director in order to devote more time to his wife and family. The resignation came just a week after the volatile wife of the former attorney general said she would leave him unless he quit politics.

Francis L. Dale, chairman of the Committee to Re-elect the President, said Mitchell would continue to work for the committee in an "advisory "We have accepted John Mitchell's resignation with deep regret," said committee chairman Francis L. Dale, "but we are fortunate in the availability of a most distinguished new successor. The new campaign director will be Clark MacGregor." MacGregor is counsel to The President for Congressional Relations. Ex-Representative Prior to his appointment by President Nixon in January, 1971, MacGregor was a member of the House of Representatives for 10 years from the 3rd District of Minnesota.

Mitchell, in a letter to Nixon, said he no longer could continue in his job and still make his wife, Martha and their daughter Marty happy. "They have patiently put up with my long absences for some four years, and the moment has come when I must devote more time to them," Mitchell said. Nixon in turn wrote Mitchell saying, "I thoroughly understand and appreciate the compelling reasons for your decision to withdraw from full-time political activity." In a specific reference to Martha, Nixon added: "I have often noted that the greater sacrifice is usually the wife's, since she must share the disappointments and brickbats, but must accept the frequent absence of a husband and father."

If Fischer fails to arrive in time for the match with Spassky, of the Soviet Union, he could lose his rights as a challenger to the world champion. It took years of elimination play for him to win the right to play Spassky, and months of delicate negotiations to set up the match.

Fischer could still make the match if he boarded either of two Icelandic flights direct to Reykjavik scheduled to leave New York this evening. Or he could fly to Europe and take a connecting flight to the Icelandic capital. And He's Off Merritt "Dude" Hardt. of Flora, readies his pony for the ride back to Flora from the Statehouse today.
