TrTnr NEWS II, r-u Flares At US. Marshal Judg 1 A' Jx jxjLJ INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, 103rd YEAR Political Analysis Ml Security Tightest For Any Convention temper when two of three defendants in a bank robbery case appeared but i no one could properly account for the third defendant. William R. Boyd, 23, 2006 N. Win-field, appeared for sentencing and Charles Robert Monnett, 44, was on hand for arraignment.

Missing was Timothy A. Evans, 23, Brazil, who is reported in the U.S. Navy at Great Lakes (111.) Naval Training Center. The three were named in two separate indictments involving the $2,295 robbery last July 20 of a Merchants Bank 4 Trust Co. branch at 6031 E.

Washington. Dillin questioned the necessity of two indictments and asked about Evans, who Lantz said had been arrested. No record of any arrest, however, appeared in the court records. An FBI agent then testified that Evans had been arrested in Chicago and indicated he wished to be tried there. I Dillin said he would not go along with that and ordered the marshal's office to have Evans before the court next week for arraignment.

ice they could only get him as far as Lexington. Why can't they make that last three-hour trip?" It was then that Dillin told assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffery Lantz to inform the deputy marshal to inform his superior in Washington that the superior official was in contempt. Dillin, after the court session, said he made the contempt statement to voice his criticism of the prisoner transfer system set out by the U.S. marshal's office in Washington.

"The report was done in mid June but they could only get the defendant as far as Lexington in three weeks," said Dillin. "I want the marshal's officers here to pass on my criticism to their superiors in Washington." In other actions before Judge Dillin a charge of engaging in the business of selling firearms without a license was dismissed against a 75-year-old West Baden man. Dillin rejected the guilty plea of the defendant, William Moffett, and ruled there was no factual basis for the plea. i WiX If) 1 ''A fhIA 'Pass On My Criticism' -Judge Dillin A Federal agent testified that Moffett, between Jan. 16 and March 14, sold second-hand guns from Bill's Grocery, which he owned at West Baden, without possessing a permit as required under the 1968 Gun Control Act.

Dillin, who has had run-ins before with the agents of the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms division over gun selling cases, accepted Moffett's statement that he did not believe he needed a permit to sell old guns and did not intend to violate the law. A third case brought out Dillin's craft that may be the best example yet of how space technology can be put to practical use on earth. High-flying aircraft using the same exotic multiple scanning equipment that worked so well in the corn blight watch program last summer will begin gathering photographic data for use in the LARS study next week. Dr. David Landgrebe, a professor of electrical engineering at Purdue and the LARS director, said the Indianapolis study will determine whether multiple remote sensing devices can help land planners determine future growth patterns in metropolitan areas.

Purdue also will study agricultural monitoring techniques in the Wabash River basin and collaborate with the Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado in a third major ERTS study. "The thrust of the entire ERTS effort is to see how we can space technology in a useful manner on earth," Land-grebe said.

Satellite To Observe Us By RANDY CABLE It started out as a routine day of criminal proceedings in Federal Court but ended with the U.S. Marshal's office being held in contempt of court. Situations surrounding cases coming before Judge S.

Hugh Dillin began to worsen as the morning progressed yesterday, bringing out Dillin'i temper. Finally Dillin told a deputy marshal, "He, your superior. Is in contempt of this court." The remark came after the marshal's office failed to bring Charles Lee Martin, 28, to a hearing. Martin, charged with the $11,356 robbery of the Saratoga State Bank last Dec. 3, had entered a guilty plea in March and was sent to Federal prison at Petersburg, for a 90-day pre-sentence study.

The U.S. Attorney 's office had placed Martin's case on the calendar for yesterday, but the marshal's office had only gotten its man as near as Lexington, Ky. Dillin noted that "under the money saving plan of the U.S. Marshal's Off Government Space Need Survey OK'd A step was taken yesterday toward planning for the future space needs of local government. The Indianapolis-Marion County Building Authority awarded a $45,000 contract to J.F.N.

Associates, New York City, for a six-part survey to be completed in 90 days. Announcement of the contract was made by Maynard R. Hokanson, president of the board of directors of the Authority. J.F.N. Associates will determine space needs through 1985, covering present allocations to units of government in the City-County Building and possible relocation of some agencies as well as a look to future office needs.

The contract specifically calls for a decision as to space needed for the 29-member City-County i 1 for meetings, caucuses and individual offices for members and also for whatever new construction may be necessary. Employment of J.F.N. Associates is an outgrowth of a move to acquire the half-block south of Washington between Alabama and Delaware for a future courts building and council headquarters. A preliminary plan for the courts building has been drawn for the Authority as a means of demonstrating what could be undertaken in the way of new construction if such a need is determined by the space study. If additional construction is undertaken, however, it will take three to five years to complete, according to estimates by the Authority.

Cupid Is Busier Than In Months Legendary Dan Cupid has been a busy fellow in Marion County this year, especially in the last two months. Thanks to accuracy of Cupid's arrows, marriage licenses issued through June 30 increased 439 over the first six months of 1971. Licenses issued for June, the traditional month for weddings, totaled 1,189, or 95 more than June, 1971. So far the biggest increase in any month in 1972 was in May when 910 licenses were issued, compared to May, 1971, 663. Mrs.

Natalie Pash, chief of the license bureau under County Clerk E. Allen Hunter, shrugged her shoulders when asked for some explanation for the increase in licenses. "There is no one reason as far as I can see. I know we're issuing licenses to a lot of youngsters these days, many during June who had parental permission to marry because they were underage, but we've issued licenses to a lot of oldsters, too," she said.

Such a march, certainly, would have drawn a crowd and hundreds of photographers. Indiana's 76-member delegation is a middle-sized frog in the political pond here, dwarfed by California's 271 delegates, for example, with the Hoosiers comprising about 2.5 per cent of the 3,016 total delegates. The Democrats always have about twice as many delegates as the Republicans, creating space, food and transportation problems, but giving more people a voice in the convention. Indiana will have just 32 delegates to the Republican National Convention. Although the Democrats seem to do more fighting at their conventions, they also seem to enjoy themselves more when they have some time to relax, than do the Republicans.

At least, it seems that way to a reporter who has been going to conventions beginning in 1948. Grim Air Hangs The best line ever written about that came from the typewriter of Anne O'Hare McCormick of the New York Times, who said in 1936, "For the Republicans, politics is a business; for the Democrats, it is a pleasure." Probably not as much this year, with a certain grim air hanging over the and anti-McGovern forces, and also because of the fact that more than any Democratic convention in history, more of the delegates have never before been to a convention or even had a part in politics. They are here from every area of 1 American life and no one is certain how they will behave, but at last they have a "piece of the action." They may behave very well indeed. Many of the first-timers, including those from Indiana, are extremely serious about the whole businessj and while the probable nominee of the con-. vention, George McGovern, is given only an outside chance of ending Nix-.

on's White House tenure, the inclusion 1 of every group from everywhere in the convention process and within the Democratic party may pay off handsomely in the future. It all should be over Thursday night, with the acceptance speech by the presidential nominee, calls for uni-; ty, a relaxation of tensions and a hope that election day will turn out to be a good day, after all. Could be. The Democrats have been in business longer than any other poli-tica party in the Western world, and again and again have demonstrated some amazing powers of recuperation and resilience. Write a Run Now "I was kind of interested in a paragraph on the last page." It says: "Of Lugar's own future, nothing is certain except that it will never be mediocre.

Some would-be seers, of course, go further, entertaining national visions. In bar-stool whispers and barber shop speculation, the name Lugar often elicits the fervently held conviction that the Unigov merger may not have been Indy's last miracle." "The book is filled with pictures of Lugar doin' this and Lugar doin' that, and pictures of headlines sayin' how he won a landslide victory in the last election, and how Indianapolis is an Ail-American city, and of bumper stickers boastin' 'I Love "At the back of the book there's a listin' of some of the appearances and speeches he's made outside Indiana since 1968, and that takes up two full pages of small print. Kinda makes one wonder where he finds the time to do all these grand things here at home." "Does it mention how many people have fled from the pre-Unigov city of Indianapolis, or tell how a proposal to take over the sheriff's department went over, or mention that figures show Indianapolis is the second most-segregated large city in the nation, or tell about the incident when Lugar gave out Dr. Otis Bowen's private telephone number in an attempt to get Unigov passed, only to have a majority of the callers say they were against Unicov?" asked Courtney. "No," said Swen, "guess there wasn't room for that.

"But it looks like Gov. Whitcomb is about to do Lugar one better. Remember when Whitcomb ran for governor? He passed out thousands of copies of his book, 'Escape From to the voters. That book is out In a hardback edition, Incidentally, with a picture of the governor and his family on the book jacket and a comment about how fortunate Indiana Is to have Whitcomb as governor. "At any rate, Whitcomb reportedly Rot a bunch of public relations men together and is plannln' to have 'rm do a book on his administration.

The rumor Is that the book will be called 'Escape From the Statehouse'." By EDWARD ZIEGNER Political Editor MIAMI BEACH H.L. Mencken once labeled national political conventions as "fascinating as a revival or a hanging," and that's about right here with the Democrats in this gilded tourist area at the southern tip of Florida. It's the first trip here for the Demo- a s. The Republicans came down in 1968 to nominate Richard Nixon, and will come back here Aug. 21 to do it again, but the Democrats now are about the humidity.

Ziegner finding out Believe it or not, on some days it's worse than what we have in Indiana. And you can't hardly get worse than that, anywhere in the U.S. The convention hall, at the southern end of the beach, is adequate, but hardly splendid. The new Convention-Exposition Center in Indianapolis probably could handle a national political convention from the standpoint of space in the hall, but Indianapolis doesn't have the necessary hotel space. A political convention takes 15,000 to 20,000 rooms, and even here, with about 33,000 rooms in the Southern Florida area, some people are housed miles away from the convention hall.

If a national convention ever gets to Indianapolis, we'll have to have more hotel and motel rooms than we now have, EVeryone wonders if there will be violence, as there was at Chicago in 1968, and no one knows, but if some develops, police officers and troops on hand to control jt will be about equal in numbers to the demonstrators. Security is the tightest for any convention history; delegates and the press must get new sets of credentials every day, to block the possibility of counterfeit credentials. They're Everywhere Police and Secret Service men are everywhere, and troops are on standby duty at nearby Army and Air Force bases." Thus far, groups such as the Yippies (Youth International party) have been tame as kittens, even to having a watermelon party with retirees who live here. And the Yippies long ago denied a rumor that thousands of them would march past the convention hall in the nude.j Absolutely without foundation, Don't Quote Me Ya Gotta Book To By DAVID ROHN "I didn't see anything in the newspapers about you making the motorcycle jump out at Sportsman's Paradise as you vowed you were going to do," said John Courtney of Hamilton, Smith, Wilson, Haynes, Brown Associates public relations. "What happened?" "Well," replied Sidney Swen, independent candidate for State Legislature, "I decided jumpin' a motorcycle over 200 Rohn feet of water was a little dangerous, so I asked the management if I could jump my car.

They indicated I couldn't. "Besides, my life insurance agent called and allowed as to how he wasn't terribly keen about the whole idea either." "What are your campaign plans now that the Fourth of July is past?" Courtney inquired. "I'm gettin' together with some writers and havin' 'em put out a book on me," said Swen. "I plan to pass it out in the campaign." "What prompted this idea?" asked Courtney. "Why don't you just put together some of your press clippings?" 'There Is Hope' "That's old politics," replied Swen.

"The other day I ran across a brochure that our own Mayor Lugar had printed up called "There Is Hope It's got a picture on the front cover of the mayor in his shirt sleeves addressing a group of people, with a beam of light a shinin' on him, and Is filled with wonderful things about Lugar and the city of Indianapolis.

Aug. 1, Indianapolis area residents might want to look up, smile and wave to an invisible satellite overhead. That's the time of day when the Earth Resources Technology Satellite can penetrate the atmosphere best with its remote sensing devices. The date will be August 1 because it will take a little more than a week after the July 21 launching date for all the systems to become operational. Indianapolis and its suburbs will be the subjects of a one-of-a-kind study to determine how future land-use planning can be made on the basis of information from satellite-mounted scanning equipment.

The Indianapolis study is one of three scheduled by Purdue University's Laboratory for Applications for Remote Sensing. In all, 300 experiments will be conducted, using the ERST satellite, the long awaited jack-of-all-trades space People In The News Fisching For Popularity? put some of our techniques into practice. But this is still an experiment." Purdue was the center of remote sensing research activities for the corn blight watch and it will play a major role in the ERTS program. A two-stage Delta booster will send the spacecraft into a near-polar orbit 564 miles above the earth. It will cover the planet every 18 days.

It will provide data that may help farmers control insects, foresters determine timber-cutting schedules and highway planners decide new routes. The satellite will carry sensors and photographic equipment so sensitive it can distinguish between live and dead vegetation and differing plant species. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration estimates the satellite and another to be launched next year will cost $176 million. Dr. Arch Park, chief of the NASA Earth Resources Survey Program, said the satellite data will be used to study the geology of parts of Indiana, to survey pollution falling into Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and to determine whether forest land should be harvested.

The folks in Reykjavik, Iceland, don't like American challenger BOBBY FISCHER. "He might be a great chess player, but he behaves like a child," said one native of the city where the 24-game match for the world chess title opens Tuesday. Spassky has been In Iceland for more than two weeks.

He moved into a hotel as just another guest, goes shopping like any tourist, plays tennis, goes swimming, all without a police guard. He has a ready smile, stops to chat with his fans and gives autographs. Fischer, on the other hand, first stayed at a villa outside the city and was protected by a police guard. But he complained the house was too noisy and moved Into the presidential suite of the most luxurious hotel in town, the Loftleider. He has made no public appearance except at the draw to determine who would play white and thus get the first move in the opening game.

Spassky won that draw. Actress SOPHIA LORKN has been "cast" In a new role.
