Counties are scheduled to be reimbursed more than $933,000, excluding interest, for salaries paid judges during the period, and judges and former judges on the bench during the period are expected to get more than $440,000. The interest will be more than $105,000.

The figures include more than $66,000 already paid 12 judges and former judges and the estate of a 13th in a successful lawsuit challenging the pocket veto of a judicial pay raise approved by the 1967 General Assemblya judgment made before the case became a class action and on which legal fees are not an issue. The revived law i a the state's share of salaries paid judges by $4,000 annually, raised the total pay of Marion and Lake County judges by $1,500 annually, and raised the total pay of most other judges in the state by $4,000. Judges on the Supreme and Appellate Courts at the time also got a raise. It also provided, for the first time, for state participation in the salaries of Marion County municipal judges. Municipal judges on the bench then may get up to $5,113 each in back pay, other Marion County judges are expected to get $3,000 each and the county itself may get about $200,000 in reimbursement money.

Other counties that supplemented judicial pay during the period also may get some reimbursement funds.

Madison Square Garden decided the only fair way to sell tickets to the Stones' July 24-26 concerts was to have everyone send postcards to a special address, have a random selection of cards, use a computer to eliminate any duplicates, and mail back an official notification card that can be used to pick up tickets.

POSTSCRIPT A dozen residents of Beanblossom and Richland Township in Monroe County have filed a class action damage suit against a Bloomington drive-in theater because of "dirty movies." Bloomington lawyer Lewellyn Pratt told Lawrence Circuit Court Judge H. Wayne Baker the suit should be thrown out because "no lawsuit is made for mental suffering alone, or I could make a face at you and you could recover damages." The residents claim the drive-in's X-rated films are visible from Ind. 46 and their children are "unwillingly exposed" to them, thereby "endangering their ability to travel on the highway with a reasonable amount of safety." Fell right off their tricycles, huh? By DAVID MANNWEILER The world has known quite a few men of letters, such as Ben Franklin, Lord Chesterfield and George Bernard Shaw, but Billy Runner, a 10-year-old Westside moppet, may soon emerge as this country's first boy of letters. The sixth grader at School 67 has parlayed perseverance, a gift for gab and a quick hand with a pencil and a postage stamp into friendships with movie stars, race drivers, politicians and international beauty queens.

Now he has set his sights on President Nixon. "I pity the President if he makes it to Runner Washington," says Billy's mother, Mrs. Paul Goff, 1134 N. Alton. She admits, though, she has few doubts her son somehow will be sitting in Richard Nixon's oval office on July 21, which is Billy's birthday.

When Billy first announced he wanted a personal letter from Nixon to go along with his correspondence with Lucille Ball, the stars of "Bonanza" and other famous people, his father bet him he wouldn't get a reply in a mil-, lion years. His first letter got him a booklet for children about the White House, but Billy decided that wasn't good enough. After several more letters he got two "awfully sweet" letters from Nixon and pictures of the President, the first family and the White House. Nixon explained his schedule is pretty busy and he didn't think he'd have time to see Billy, but the boy said he'll just meet the problem when he encounters it. Four months ago he began buying boxes of candy wholesale and selling it door to door to raise money for his Washington trip.

On April 22 his hopes for the journey seemed dashed when his father had a heart attack and Billy gave his mother all the money he had saved. In return she promised to help him sell his candy. Billy got his bug for knowing famous people two years ago when he used his own money to go to the 500-Mile Race. He talked his way into the Tower Terrace area, into sitting with Miss Universe and the movie stars, and into an Australian photographer's race seat. Then he appointed himself protector of the "500" Festival's pace cars behind the tower.

For two years now, Billy has stopped souvenir-seekers from peeling off decals from the cars or taking hubcaps. His reward from people he met while making his rounds has been tickets for this year and next year's 500 and a promise of tickets for any event at the Civic Center that would be suitable for a boy his age. This year's offer of free tickets came too late for Billy, who already had ing swimming trunks, and had a knife, compass and can opener. "The first thing they asked me was if I was from Cuba," Kim said. Then came the period when he was the nation's "mystery boy," and answered calls from persons with missing sons.

That was "very hectic," he said at O'Hare Airport, and for most of the callers "I was either too tall or too short I just didn't fit the description." His parents, who had been keeping their hopes alive since their son failed to come home from classes at East Chicago Roosevelt High School, saw a resemblance to their son in an Associated Press Wirephoto in the Hammond (Ind.) Times, and flew to Florida. Paul Barkel, senior counselor at Kim's high school, said the youth ran away from home last year and turned up in Ohio. He described Kim as a "nice kid" with "average intelligence." Kim told reporters at O'Hara that "I'm starting to visualize my brother and sister," and added "my name is coming back to me." "We are telling him what to remember," his mother said. Kim's 12-year-old brother and 5-year-old sister were waiting for him at their grandparents' home. As the family left the airport termi-nay, Kim happened on Charles Spear, his school homeroom teacher, recognized him and shook hands.

CITY, STATE SUMMARY House OKs $185,700 For Wildlife Refuge CHICAGO (AP)-Kim Kadas, found 11 days ago swimming off Key West, is back home at East Chicago, today, the mystery of his identity solved. But for his parents, who arrived with their 16-year-old son today at O'Hare International Airport, there remains the matter of figuring out how Kim: 1 Managed to get to Florida after disappearing from his home April 11. 2 Survived what Florida police estimate as between 11 and 12 hours in the water off Key West. 3 Developed amnesia that wouldn't allow him to remember who he was, and set scores of parents of missing sons to calling him in the hope that he might be theirs. Kadas' identity was confirmed when Mr.

and Mrs. William Kadas flew yesterday to Key West. Dorothy Kadas said her son stared at her for a short time when they met in the Key West police station, then recognized her. Kim says his first recollection was finding himself in the ocean about 4 miles offshore. He said he saw a beacon and swam for it.

Key West police Sgt. Earl L. McCain said Kadas was shriveled from exposure to water when he arrived at the highway patrol office June 4. He was wear Tavern Robbed By 2 With Shotguns A near-Southwestside tavern was robbed of an undetermined amount of cash today by two men armed with shotguns and wearing white sacks over their heads. Earl Keaton, owner of the Country Boy's Old Barn Tavern, 525 S.

Harding, said the armed men came in a back door about 1:30 a.m. and took money from a cash register and safe. Keaton said there were about four patrons in the tavern, and one of the holdup men announced, "I hope one of you moves so I can shoot you." The two fled out of the rear door, he said.

Atterbury Under State Control CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. The state now has and will exercise law enforcement authority over the Camp Atterbury area, site of a big World War II military training center later phased out.

Gov. Edgar D. Whitcomb announced yesterday he has signed acceptance of concurrent jurisdiction with the U.S. Secretary of the Army. In the past, speed violations, thefts, vandalism and some other crimes went unchecked because no one except a Federal officer could make an arrest, and FBI manpower in the area was not large enough to handle the violations.

Whitcomb said that under the concurrent jurisdiction agreement with U.S. Secretary of Army Robert F. Froehlke, signed June 12, state police, sheriffs, conservation officers and other state and local law enforcement officers can make arrests. The camp area lies in three counties Johnson, Bartholomew and Brown. Indiana State Police Supt.

Robert Konkle said his men will patrol Atterbury now "just like any other area of the state." He said he understood that county sheriffs in the area also have authority to deputize security guards. In addition to Camp Atterbury, Konkle said state police also are to assume responsibility for the security of Burns Harbor on Lake Michigan later this month. The Atterbury area includes a Job Corps center, National Guard training facilities and a state recreational area.

(AP) A Federal Court jury here has decided that Norman R. Grass, 38, Montpelier, did write a letter to President Nixon, saying: "I've hunted everywhere for work you are to blame therefore you must die." The jury deliberated 30 minutes yesterday before convicting Grass of threatening the life of the President last December. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a $1,000 fine or both.

No date was set for sentencing. The Secret Service said the letter was mailed from Montpelier Dec. 16, 1971, signed with a scrawled and addressed to the office of the President at the White House. They quoted further from the letter: "I want a Democrat in office so when you or Agnew come to Indiana I will kill you."

Amen. Rev. Theodore E. Zitnn Eastern Orthodox Church (Antiochian) People In TheNews 'Egocentric1 Fischer Given Equal Chance 'Skylab Will Benefit All Astronaut Says Tht News Washington Bureau WASHINGTON The House has approved $185,700 in funds for the Muscatatuck Wildlife refuge in Jackson and Jennings Counties of Indiana. The action was taken after Rep.

Lee Hamilton, sought the funds to develop and operate the refuge. The Department of the Interior earlier had earmarked $52,000 for the Indiana refuge, part of the Midwest duck and geese flyway. Hamilton had argued that the Interior funds would allow only marginal maintenance of the refuge property and equipment and would curtail development. He pointed out that 1,421 acres recently were added the Federal project. Hamilton said he was pleased by the House action on the Interior appropriation bill and he explained: "If the Muscatatuck refuge is allowed to deteriorate or even linger, without further development because of inadequate funding, it will be far more expensive in the long run to meet the commitment to develop this facility as it was planned to be developed.

The measure still must pass the Senate before it is sent to the President. Paper Gets OK FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) Trustees of Fort Wayne Community Schools have changed their policy and will permit distribution of an underground student newspaper before and after school and during lunch hours.

STATE DEATHS ON PAGE 18 Choir Director Indicted GOSHEN, Ind. (AP) A church choir director was indicted by a grand jury here yesterday in the arsenic poisoning death of her husband. Shirley Rock, 24, New Paris, was charged with first-degree murder. Her husband, David, 26, died in a hospital May 25 while awaiting a tonsillectomy which had been postponed several weeks because of his health.

He said the success of the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions has "exemplified the pioneering spirit of the United Staes." Duke said the joint space agreement with the Soviet Union that President Nixon announced on his recent visit to Moscow will be "an excellent way to get people to communicate."

By JACK ADAMS American chess champion BOBBY FISCHER is "egocentric, capricious, obstinate and hot-tempered" but has an "approximately equal" chance to defeat Soviet world champion BORIS SPASSKY in their title match next month, says the Soviet news agency Tass. A commentary by the news agency's chess commentator, YAKOV ROKH-LIN, said the match for the world championship that begins in Reykjavik July 2 may depend on "who will be first to seize the initiative." Tass called Spassky, 35, a "universal chess player. "His rich intuition enables Spassky to effect sharp tactical turns in a fluid involved position," Rokhlin said. "Rapid appraisal and accurate calculation of variations are Fischer's strong points," the commentary said, adding, "His Achilles heel is the psychological and emotional aspect of the struggle." They have "approximately equal chances" in the match, Rokhlin said.

The Arizona Kidney Foundation in Phoenix has received about $1,800 in donations from a Mr. Swartz in recent months.
