THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS Tuesday, June State Democrats Face No Surprises In Platform Pofl 4 iisiiiiirailfVv A A wH 111 1 vo 47y --if rt i Hi fi 'V 1 jr ty AumMM Prwt The party platform Indiana Democrats will vote on at their state convention is one that looks cautiously ahead toward the 1980s, with no bombshells. There is no mention of abortion or gay rights, as in past platforms. The Democrats skirt a headon battle over nuclear power by saying they support it if it's safe. The traditional Democratic issues are there. The 13-page document, drafted by the party's Platform Steering Committee, endorses collective bargaining for public employes and teachers, increased unemployment compensation, tax breaks for older Hoosiers and programs to guarantee Jobs to every person who wants one.

The Democratic platform also proposes a strong lobbyist registration law, a five-member Public Service Commission and a code of ethics for the commission and its staff. The party also explores the Idea of providing welfare assistance to families where both parents are present. Currently, only children and mothers in broken homes are eligible. In the preamble, the Democrats go on the offensive against the Republican Party, which has occupied the Statehouse for 12 years. The difference between the two parties, the document says, is that "Democrats value the individual.

Republicans value the power of agencies, bureaus and institutions." The platform framers were critical of the way the Republican administration has run the state, laying the blame for Indiana's 9 percent unemployment rate with the GOP. "Not since the Great Depression has the need for a Democratic administration been so great in Indiana," the platform said. On the issues of business and industrial development, the platform adopts the proposal of gubernatorial candidate John Hillenbrand that the governor not the lieutenant governor should Mr. and Mrs. Sanchez with children Laura More About Silent Janive Maxey talks with Jerry Lux.

Confusion Reigns Over Delegates can find. I don't think there will be any this country is so rich and autiful." Sanchez's youngest daughter, 11-year-old Laura, is vigorously trying to gather materials to help the refugees. And although she has been successful, it has had complications. Laura, a sixth grader who speaks fluent Spanish, said she tried to explain to her classmates at St. Gabriel School the difficulties that lie ahead for the refugees.

"I told them that they don't understand," she said. "They act like it is nothing." The road to a better life for these refugees has been less bumpy than it will be for most of the Cubans now crowding into camps in Florida, Arkansas and Wisconsin.

"A lot of Mexicans and blacks are discriminated against because of the color of their skin," he said. "We were lucky in that we were not as visible." Asked about his impression of the less-than-hospitable feelings many Americans have voiced about the recent flow of Cuban refugees into South Florida, the elder Sanchez, moving forward in his seat and speaking at a quickened, pace, said: "One of the reasons people are against it is because they are afraid they will interfere with jobs. But I think there are at least three reasons why they won't be taking anyone's job: They don't speak the English language, they are not qualified for many of the jobs and they are going to take any job they More About Carter Booed At the airport a reporter asked Carter if he was aware of what happened during the motorcade. The President responded: "Jfo." Damages from the May Miami in which 16 people were killed, has been estimated at $100 million. Carter told the leaders the government would meet them halfway in boosting employment in the area and repairing the damage.

The rioting erupted hours after a white jury in Tampa acquitted four white ex-policemen in the fatal beating of a black insurance salesman from Miami. Carter told black and white businessmen and civic leaders they should not sit back and wait for the Federal government to provide jobs and assistance. "I will meet you halfway," he said. Carter earlier told the Opportunities Industrialization Center those most hurt by the recent Miami rioting "are those who already have the least," but warned that "burning down a business, cannot create any jobs." "Violence cannot breed justice," he said. "Hate can only poison and ulti UnlM rm mttnutlml Considerable confusion went along with selection of national convention delegates for President Carter and Sen.

Edward Kennedy at caucuses of the Democratic state convention. Kennedy's people exercised their veto right and eliminated nine delegate candidates before the balloting began in the 11 district caucuses. Then some persons earned the right to be a national convention delegate with fewer votes than received by some of the losers because of the party's proportional plan. Carter won 53 delegates to the Democratic National Convention and Kennedy got 27. The rules require equal numbers of men and women.

Some candidate endorsements were made as well as national convention delegate selection. John Loughlin, former state school superintendent, gained the endorsement of delegates who also are members of the Indiana State Teachers Association. The 7th District caucus endorsed Glenden Campbell, Terre Haute school administrator. Sen. Elden Tipton, D-Jasonville, protested because copies of the "Loughlin News" about the endorsement were circulated within the caucus room.

He said he was a teacher delegate and he hadn't endorsed Loughlin. The candidates struck from the national convention list by Kennedy's representatives were: Michael Sohacki and Nick Negovich, 1st District. L. C. May, 5th.

Ruth Deppert, 6th. Ronald Folley and James Bramble, 7th. Cecil Stark and Christopher Cameron, 9th. James Riggs, 11th. Mrs.

Deppert's husband, Charles Deppert, struck his own wife's name, a move that did not improve family harmony. In the 1st District caucus, attempts to bring the factionalized Democrats together failed after Edward Raskosky, the mayor of Hammond, complained that he was defeated as a national convention delegate because there were more votes cast than members of the caucus. Gary Mayor Richard Hatcher, 1st District chairman, said, "It is unfortunate that some people got more than one ballot and voted more than once. I can't believe anyone would be as corrupt as that." Raskosky could have appealed the election to the convention rules committee, but he said he would not do so. The national convention delegates listed by party officials and their presidential preferences are: 1ST DISTRICT East Chicago Mayor Robert Pas-trick, for Carter.

"The family, that is the key," the elder Sanchez, a graduate of the University of Havana, explains. "We know about each other and we are in constant touch.

Florida congressmen estimate the Federal support needed for the Cubans is about $200 million per 100,000 refugees, but that program has not yet evolved either. Carter was greeted by heavy security measures for his motorcade from the airport, a bomb threat at the Fontaine-bleau that police said was unrelated to his visit, and a scattering of protesters carrying placards in front of the hotel.

The President took a swipe at Ronald Reagan for "political doubletalk and ideological but did not refer to the probable Republican opponent by name. "I reject the easy promise that massive tax cuts and arbitrary rollbacks of government programs are the answers," Carter said of the nation's economic woes. "Such facile quick fixes should be recognized as political double-talk and ideological nonsense." "It is essential to strengthen with NATO our collective defenses and to respond to Soviet aggression in Afghanistan," Carter told the mayors, defending his prosposal for a 4 percent real increase in defense spending while holding the line on domestic programs.

"Many of you expressed your personal concern about defense increases, but I decided to stand firm because of our overriding need for national security." In Miami, Carter visited the James E. Scott Community Center in an area of the city ravaged by bloody racial riots last month. An unruly crowd estimated at about 1,500 gathered outside while he spoke to civic and business leaders. Carter waved briefly at the crowd as he emerged from the meeting with black and white leaders, but members of the raucous crowd greeted him with booing and some broke through the wooden police barricades. Wads of paper and other objects, including cans, according to some witnesses, flew through the air as the motorcade started to leave.

A green beer bottle soared through the air and bounced off the roof of Carter's limousine, leaving a dent. The President was uninjured. Beer bottles and other missiles also splintered the windows of a guest and staff bus in the motorcade as it sped through the city streets. Witnesses said at least a dozen bottles were tossed at other cars in the motorcade. No injuries were reported and there were no arrests.

He declined to say whether Carter had invited Burg. Burg told reporters in Tel Aviv that he expected a procedural meeting, but would not comment on Be gin's statement about a trip to Washington. "I believe we will not have negotiations about the essence of the autonomy, but about the procedure: When we will meet, which working groups should meet and so on preparations for the real meeting," he said.
