"The Indianapolis Zoo is the only one in the country as urban as this one, in the "heart of downtown," said the 47-year-old specialist on zoos and aquariums. The Jerry Johnson, three-dimensional models were displayed at James Associates Architects. They will go on display at the existing zoo in May, said zoo director Roy Shea. Johnson said the planned Indianapolis Zoo "is one of the largest projects of its kind" in the U.S. "Zoos are in a kind of renaissance today.

Many animals are endangered and this conserves them," he said Construction of a new bridge over White River at the site of the zoo will be started this spring, with completion set for August 1985, said Shea. The bridge and a new section of Washington Street will run south of the current route, merging back with Washington at Bloomington to Posey County at the request of Poling's lawyer, who argued Daviess County residents had been biased by the acquittal of Poling's codefendant Arthur said the case marked the first use of a state law passed last year allowing judges to select a jury from another area rather than moving an entire trial. The jury will be sequestered. Miller and Poling's lawyer, John Kesler ii, asked potential, jurors about any previous knowledge of the case and whether any jurors might allow the state's request for the death penalty to influence their judgment Kesler was admonished by the judge for the tone of his questioning of potential jurors. Kesler made two motions for mistrial.

Both were denied by Arthur. Poling and Christopher Deckard, 17, of Jasonville, were arrested in San Francisco three weeks after the girl's body was found. A Daviess County jury acquitted Deckard last month. At his trial, Deckard said Poling killed the girl and Deckard fled with him in fright Miller said Deckard has been sub- Jury Almost Chosen CORRECTION I An unfortunate error occurred in the Osco Drug ASi ist Church.

Jury selection for the trial of Michael, Poling, charged with the rape-murder of a 15-year-old Linton girl, is going faster than attorneys expected. Eleven persons were selected yesterday from a pool of 50 potential jurors. Deputy Greene County Prosecutor Robert had said he expected jury selection to take about three days, but few of the potential jurors had prior knowledge of the case that would prevent them from serving. Attorneys said the trial could begin tomorrow. Poling, 17, of Jasonville is charged with first-degree murder in Greene County for the July 2 shoot- ing death of Cindy Lou Mason.

Miller has asked for the death penalty if Poling is convicted. The trial was moved to Daviess County because of publicity about the murder. Daviess Circuit Judge Robert Arthur moved jury selection.1 Air Service 7 EVANSVILLE, Ind. (UPI) Air Kentucky will begin service between Louisville and Evansville March 15, a spokesman said yesterday.
