By DAVID MANNWEILER Potpourri from a reporter's notebook: ITEM: Ten days ago, Peru farmer Lowell Elliott found $10,000 in a canvas Lowell Elliott found $500,000 in a canvas bag on his son-in-law's soybean farm, Reporters from throughout the nation hastened to Elliott's front porch for hurried conversations with the 61-year-old man. They asked a lot of questions and got a lot of answers, most of which Elliott tinged with wry inflections. A week ago today, Elliott smudged his hero status in some Mannweiler people's eyes when he turned down a $10,000 certified check American Airlines offered as a reward for finding the half-million dollars ransom a hijacker had dropped when he bailed out over Peru on June 24. Elliott said he wanted more money. Something in the neighborhood of he told Frank D.

Bodwell, Indianapolis district sales manager for the airlines, who had offered the check. When Elliott was asked how he would feel if the airline didn't repeat the offer, he replied, "Well, I guess I'm out of luck then, ain't Apparently he is. David Frailey, director of public relations for the airline, said from his New York office today that "nothing has been done since that day (when Elliott turned down the money). We made the offer and we're sorry he rejected it. We don't have any plans to increase the amount or to offer the money again.

We don't know what will happen now." Elliott's wife said today her husband had "no comment to anyone." Item: A London professor was listening to cats serenading each other one night, when he came up with an idea about pregnancy. Dr. V. T. Wynn of Exeter University wondered if the sound of a woman's voice might be as good as a contraceptive in preventing pregnancy, and he-tested the idea on his wife and on a friend.

His first tests showed a woman is likely to sing a note slightly flat in the week just before ovulation. As soon as ovulation occurs, he says, the woman tends to sing the note rather sharp. So far, London hasn't reported any run on pitch pipes.

Balsbaugh Named Special to The News LOGANSPORT, Ind. Cass County commissioners have appointed Elbert Balsbaugh trustee of Miami Township.

Walgamuth of Greencastle has been Benefit 'Reduce By United Press International A 20 per cent increase in Social Security benefits will mean some reduction in public welfare costs but not enough to keep expenditures within the amount budgeted by the Indiana Legislature. This was the preliminary evaluation by William R. Sterrett, administrator of the Indiana Public Welfare Department, of the impact on the state welfare expenditures as a result of President Nixon's action in signing the increase in Social Security benefits, effective Oct. 3. Sterrett said the exact amount of the reduction in Indiana will not be known before September.

"Every time there is an increase in Social Security benefits, some welfare recipients go off," he said. "Many of our people are getting Social Security and are getting only very small amounts of assistance, but they also are getting medical care. These people no longer will be eligible for welfare after Oct. 3." Sterrett said county welfare departments will start in August with a review of their welfare recipients to determine those whose increased Social Security benefits will remove them from welfare eligibility. "These reports should be ready for the September board meeting," he explained.

'A Lesser Deficiency Sterrett said he felt certain the reduction would 'not bring the state's share under the $75 million appropriation for the 1973 fiscal year but "there will be a lesser deficiency." Welfare appropriations have an "open end" provision under which more money can be spent than appropriated. The 1971 Legislature had appropriated $68.9 million for the state's share in the fiscal year just ended and the final costs reached $86.3 million, which is $17.4 million more than the Legislature appropriated. Of this total expenditure over the budgeted amount, $15 million already has been met by administrative transfer of money from other funds, and the remaining $2.4 million will be transferred when other year-end ad Jobs For Youth Almost 15,000 jobs have been made available in government and nonprofit agencies throughout Indiana for disadvantaged youth this summer by the Neighborhood Youth Corps program. State Manpower Planning Council director Jerry Maynard said this year is the first the summer program has operated in all 92 counties in the state. Youth program specialist Wendell Walls said, "While the program is still not practically available to every disadvantaged youth, we have come a long way since last summer when we had many counties with no program at all." The program is funded by the U.S.

Department of Labor. People In The News 2,000 Hairdressers Descend On Vatican justments are made by the State Budget Agency and State Auditor Mary Aikins. Such final totals for the fiscal year that ended June 30 are not expected to be available before mid-July. Sterrett said he had earlier advised that the 1973 fiscal year's welfare costs would be $92-93 million for the state's share, as compared to $75 million appropriated. He said this $16-18 million deficiency would be reduced by the increase in Social Security if other changes do not occur, but "nowhere near" enough to bring the costs down to $75 million.

The welfare picture is one of constant change, so Sterrett is hesitant about predictions. The 1972 Legislature had enacted a law to make stepfathers responsible for support of dependent stepchildren if they are able to do so, but a Federal court held this to be class legislation and wiped out a potential Sterrett said 1973 legislation is being prepared to achieve the same result but to apply to all stepfathers and dependent stepchildren in all situations, not just those stepchildren getting welfare aid. Sterrett, also faces uncertainty in a current review by the Indiana Legislative Council that includes a recommendation that the State Department of Public Welfare "study the feasibility of assuming the administrative functions" currently being performed by Blue Cross-Blue Shield as fiscal agent for the state in the medicaid program. Sterrett said the state could not do the same work being done by Blue Cross-Blue Shield at the same cost. "Blue Cross-Blue Shield has 137 people working on it," Sterrett said of the medicaid program.

"I don't know where we could put that many people, if we could hire them. We don't have the budget to hire them and the ones we could hire would not have the expertise." The Legislative Council's welfare task force has taken no action as yet on this and other recommendations, but is continuing with its review of the medicaid program. Tri-State Program Special to The News ANGOLA, Ind. Tri-State College has received approval from the teacher training and licensing commission of the Indiana Board of Education for its elementary education program. The action means Tri-State can offer a program leading to a bachelor of science, degree in elementary education and teacher certification by the state.

except in cases where the animal constitutes a definite threat to the officer or a citizen," the 1971 policy statement said. "Stray animals," it continued, "should be contained until a dog truck can be summoned. In cases of injured animals, the officer will call the Humane Society and wait for a man to come to his assistance with a tranquilizer gun." The policy further stated, "Officers will be held accountable for any damage caused by the indiscriminate use of firearms." Orr said MKNA residents have never been presented with evidence to indicate the dog that Patrolman Charles L. Spinks fired posed an immediate threat to him or anyone else. In his letter, Orr said MKNA is requesting: 1 A full investigation of the incident to determine if there was indiscriminate use of a weapon.

2 A coroner's inquest into the death of Joyce McCray. 3 A meeting with police so the MKNA can make recommendations about police conduct in the neighborhood. An ad hoc neighborhood group met Thursday and Friday nights and drafted numerous other proposals, including a demand the policemen be suspended.

7 Drown In Indiana Over The Holiday By L. T. BROWN In Vatican City, POPE PAUL had kind words for hairdressers who, he said, were in a position to render service by reason of the "patience, kindness and courtesy" required by their profession. The Pope made his remarks to 2,000 hairdressers meeting in Rome on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the canonization of their patron saint, the Peruvian mulatto friar, St. Martin de Porres.

The hairdressers were received in audience by the Pope, who also told them they have "abundant opportunities to help many people recognize the goodness of God." In London, QUEEN ELIZABETH and PRINCESS ANNE took their first close-up look at Concorde 002, Britain's supersonic airliner. They were shown around the jet by its crew.

In New York, Newport Jazz Festival-New York promoter GEORGE WEIN believes trumpeter MILES DAVIS and chess master BOBBY FISCHER have a lot in common. Davis was labled "The Bobby Fischer of jazz" by Wein when Davis canceled his appearance at the festival upon learning there were two scheduled performances instead of one.

For the first time in his career, Georgia Lt. Gov. LESTER MADDOX canceled a speech. He said at Atlanta an airline strike left him with three hours sleep, his wife suffered a virus attack and a sister underwent major surgery. "It was the first time I ever had to cancel out, and I regret it but it was just too much," said Madtfock, who had been icneduled to address a New England A full investigative report into the fatal shooting of a 13-year-old Indianapolis girl last week was urged today by officials of the Meridian-Kessler Neighborhood Association.

David Orr, president of the association, said, "While Churchill (Police Chief Winston Churchill) may be satisfied with the investigation of the incident, the neighbors and this neighborhood are not and won't be until we have a full report." Orr has written a letter to Mayor Richard Lugar objecting to the way police and city officials reacted to the shooting of Joyce McCray, daughter of Mrs. Barbara McCray, 4240 Carroll-ton. The girl was hit by a stray pellet when a police officer fired at a dog. Police announced earlier this week vicious dogs would only be shot in cases of "dire emergency," and police officers would keep stray dogs under surveillance until Municipal Dog Pound employes arrived with tranquilizer guns. The purchase of three new tranquilizer guns and two new dog trucks also has been authorized.

Churchill closed the investigation of the incident Friday, the day after the shooting. The police officer involved in the shooting was not suspended and the investigation was not a public one, Orr said. Orr, in his letter to Lugar, noted that a policy on shooting stray dogs was signed by Churchill on Feb. 10, 1971, and issued to officers. The policy, Orr said, is almost identical to the one issued two days ago.

Orr said the 1971 policy statement noted the police department had been receiving complaints of the indiscriminate shooting of animals by police and property damage caused by stray shots. It said the rule pertaining to using firearms for self-protection or the protection of others was applicable when shooting animals as well as people. Officers will not use firearms to destroy animals, whether injured or not, Associate Preis A Gary boy drowned yesterday at Burns Harbor near Portage, and police said at least seven persons died in water-related accidents around Indiana during the four-day Fourth of July holiday weekend.
