That answered the question about Richard's future political plans without him having said a word Graham Richard who had become the first candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor was the first dropout of that race.

However, the candidate himself wasn't at the office. He was contacted at home where he said of the much-discussed change, "I have not made an official announcement at this point." In the time-honored rituaJ of candi-dates campaigning, but not announcing officially, the former state senator from Fort Wayne said he would wait probably until "after the mayor's election this year, although I may make a public announcement sometime later this summer." He said he would make "close to a full-time commitment after Sept. 1 to get the nomination, which also may be sought by State Sen. Robert Peterson of Rochester and Marion County Superior Court Judge Michael Dugan. Ted Wilson Graham Richard To Run Or Not? Speaking of candidates for lieutenant governor Indianapolis attorney Ted Wilson is thinking along those lines.

Wilson, who gave some thought to running for the Democratic nomination for mayor earlier this year, is sending out letters to Democrats sounding them Jout about his becoming a candidate. One letter has gone out already to those Democrats nominated for mayor, congratulating them on their May victory, pointing out that their election in the fall is vital to the party and especially to campaigns next year. In the letter, Wilson makes himself available for endorsements, appearances on the candidate's behalf. Now in the works are 3,500 letters to organizational Democrats, from the state committee, down through the district and county committees to precinct j7 aw- Darts And Flowers Darts for the week go to: The IMPOSTER who has been calling women offering to teach self-breast examinations for the Amercian Cancer Society.

Then there's the problem with drivers who won't give emergency equipment the right-of-way. This past Wednesday, the driver of a big, old-model Buick tried to stare down the driver of a medic ambulance on a collision course with him at Delaware and Massachusetts. Not only did the driver of the car not stop (despite the medic's wailing siren and flashing red lights), but he stayed just ahead of the ambulance for two blocks before pulling out to one side.

No-Street Addresses Downtown Indianapolis is about to get another prestigious address without a street designation to go with One Indiana Square and Merchants Plaza. The American United Life Insurance which has acquired the block bisected by the first block of Indiana Avenue for construction of a new headquarters tower, has filed a request with the Metropolitan Development Commission to give the area a new name. Under the plan, it will be called American Square. Everyone seems to be in favor of the proposal, but it could lead to a problem later for the American Fletcher National Bank when it builds its proposed building. It eliminates one of the names AFNB might have used.

Wilson, who was the party's 1972 nominee for attorney general, said he plans to have the letters mailed out "prior to the end of August" and the Indiana Democratic Editorial Association meeting. In them, he says he has been considering running and he has received many calls about it from all parts of the state. "Most candidates just jump out front and announce, but I want to bring in a new twist," he said, by asking their advice before making a decision. At this time, Wilson said, he has no committee and has received no donations and is financing the printing and mailing on his own.

Unfair Treatment A resident of Pittsboro wrote a letter to Indianapolis Mayor William Hudnut and sent a. copy to The News about a situation in which he was a witness in a case but was never notified that the defendant had pleaded guilty and that he had had to disrupt his business and drive hundreds of miles to no avail. In his letter, Larry Mooney wrote: "I received a subpena to appear in court July 10, 1979, at 5 p.m. It so happens I make my living traveling the state of Indiana and was in Danville, 111., on July 10 so had to drive from Danville which is roughly 87 miles to appear in court to honor this subpena. When arriving in Indianapolis I paid $1.50 in advance for parking." Mooney went on to write that he was shuffled from one courtroom to the next and back again and after 45 minutes "I was notified by a young, very courteous officer" that the person had pleaded guilty on June 26 and that there was no reason for me to honor this subpena.

"It's no wonder to me that people try to avoid being a witness. It cost my company several hours of my time, and I had to finish that day's work back in Illinois the next day so I had a couple hundred miles of extra driving, and at the cost of driving today this was certainly a waste of energy and time. I think the court should have been held responsible and paid me in some way for time and money lost." Although the courts are something over which Hudnut has no control, it certainly seems Mooney has a legitimate complaint. Open Clay Court Tennis tournament, might be responsible. "If histoplasmosis is being rejuvenated in this area, it's not through Riverside amusement park," Cohen said.

At least 10 cases of the influenza-like respiratory illness were reported last week, Dr. Thomas Slama, an infectious disease specialist, said. He said some of the cases were serious and added, "It's not over by any means." At a meeting last week, investigators from the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta agreed with local health officials that the most likely source of the outbreak was on the city's near North-westside and that the park was a possible source. Slama said that no laboratory confirmation of the source has been made, but added the new cases may coincide with renewal of demolition. The disease is caused by inhaling spores of a fungus that lives in soil or bird droppings.

The law, if invoked, has the effect of increasing the punishment upon a third felony conviction. Prosecutor Stephen Goldsmith vowed to use the law against every repeater, but he apparently hadn't reckoned with the mechanics of the majority of trials by jury. The juries usually start deliberating mid or late afternoon and frequently don't return with verdicts until well into the evening.

The charge of being an habitual criminal becomes active only upon conviction. The problem develops because at this point the trial must be reconvened and evidence heard by the jury. Then the jurors, probably already plenty tired and anxious to go home, must deliberate again. Rather than expose the jury that convicted Franklin McGraw last week of the murder of a security officer, Jerald Pounds, the state dismissed the habitual criminal charge. "The jurors were tired (they were out from 3:30 to 10:30 p.m.) and we might have had a problem anyway in providing proof," a deputy prosecutor explained later.

Not Funny Those in the community who provide emergency services for the public are inclined to wonder quite often how some persons get licenses to drive motor vehicles. For example, why do drivers of cars and trucks insist on parking in the fire lanes along both sides of the Market Street access drive at the City-County Building? That question was posed by a frustrated security officer assigned to keep the lanes open. The officer points out mat the signs distinctly read, "No Parking, Fire Lane," but drivers tend to laugh at them. Recently there was one, however who didn't laugh. He was an out-of-towner who drove a fancy van and left it in the access drive for an hour or so while he conducted business in the building.

When he returned, the van was gone. The experience cost him $20 for the ticket, $17.50 for a tow-in to a STAINED GLASS AND TOOLS AND SUPPLIES AVAILABLE NOW ST 443 WASHINGTON ST.

By AMecieted hn The owner of an abandoned amusement park says he disagrees with health officials who believe that it may be responsible for an outbreak of histoplasmosis described as the largest in the world. Meyer Cohen, who owns the property, said he is convinced the former Riverside Amusement Park site, which was abandoned about 10 years ago, is not the source of the disease. After a six-week lull, a new round of histoplasmosis cases began after demolition work resumed at the former anapolis amusement park, health cials said yesterday. Demolition work was stopped about three months ago while health investigators conducted soil tests at Riverside. When the tests were inconclusive, work was allowed to resume.

Cohen said the only demolition work done in the last three weeks was tearing down of one ride, and that didn't disturb the soil. He said construction at the new downtown Indianapolis Sports Center, which is to open next month for the U.S. TBJPJPBM Microwave Ovens Family Size Cuts Cooking .1 ggrg?
