KOKOMO find.) MORNING TIMES Saturday, May 22, 1965 7 Bloomington editors says state doesn't finish jobs Off to the zoo More gar ten than 50 children in the Carver Center kinder- class wave goodby as they board their bus Friday morning for a trip to George Park Zoo in Indianapolis, (Morning Times Photo) INDIANAPOLIS (U I) -Bruce B. Temple, a leader in state flood control and water resources development charged Friday that Indiana is lax in finishing projects it starts. Temple, editor of the Bloomington Herald-Telephone and a member of the Indiana Flood Control and water Resources Commission, praised Governor Branigin's recommendation that the state complete a new reservoir each year for the next 10 years. But he said the state and Corps of Engineers must do more than "simply buying land, building a dam and impounding water." Temple, who was chairman of the Governor's Commission on Monroe Reservoir Community Development by appointment of former Gov. Matthew E.

Welsh, said the Monroe Reservoir has become "an attractive nuisance" because the state did not invest another $4 or $5 million for access roads, parks and other public recreation facilities. He said the State Highway Department made no plans for access highways despite recommendations in 19 63 by Temple's, committee and did nothing but take over a county road and label it "Indiana 446." Temple accused the press of "casual coverage" of important flood control news and said public officials and the press are trailing behind the public in wanting to move forward. Memorial Day services here are announced Memorial Day observance plans have been announced by the Howard County Veterans Council. Ceremonies will take place at 2 p.m. May 30th at the Civil War monument with several numbers scheduled bythe American Legion Post 6 band.

The principal speaker will be announced later. Commander Earl Daniels has appointed Charles H. Girton as general chairman of ceremonies. Hubert Stinnett, Commander of the Disabled American Veterans, will be in charge of wreath laying ceremonies; Glen Rodgers, past commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post, will be in charge of decorations; Ralph Carmichael will be in charge of flag raising ceremonies early in the morning; Commander Max Smith, from the American Legion Post 6, will be in charge of the firing squad in the salute to those who lost their lives in wars. Republicans win initial skirmish INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) Two of the top lawyers on opposite sides of a Democrat versus Republican battle in Indiana over reapportionment agreed Friday following a preliminary skirmish that "eventually this will go to the U.

S. Supreme Court." The main difference in view between Atty. Gen. John J. Dillong, a Democrat, and William Ruckelshaus, attorney for the Republican State Central Committee, is in the timing.

"The quicker, the better," is Ruckelshaus' idea of when the constitutionality of a 1965 reapportionment law should be settled. Dillon made no comment as to speed of decision. Politically Democrats have more to gain than the Republicans from a leisurely pace. The 1965 Legislature was Democratic-controlled and the districts it produced for the 1967 state legislators have been attacked by the GOP as a ticket to continue Democrat control. The skirmish Friday occurred in U.S.

District Court here and gave a temporary win to the Republicans. Federal Judge Cale Holder dismissed with prejudice a petition filed by Dillon upon behalf of himself and the state which sought to block Scholarships for KHS seniors Five more Kokomo High School sertiors have been announced as the recepients of scholarships from colleges in Indiana.

Old And New Appreciated Quality Merchandise Only HOURS 6AM 6PM PAUL BONNIE RICE West Middleton, Indiana the Republicans from conducting the apportionment legal war in state courts. Dillon's May 17, asked for a restraining order against about 30 defendants which would have had the effect of confining reapportionment consideration to the three- judge federal panel which has had jurisdiction of the subject since 1962. Normally, dismissal with prej- udice would mean that the same type of petition could not be filed again in the same court on the same matter. Deputy Atty. Gen.

Charles S. White, representing i maintained there was nothing before Holder since the attorney general on Thursday had filed a "notice of dismissal." But Holder continued to ask for evidence and finally dismissed the Dillon motion for a restraining order "with prejudice." Ruckelshaus asserted that Dillon was "violating the spirit of his request that there not be a multiplicity of actions" on the subject of Indiana reapportionment. "We are not particularly worried about which court hears it," Ruckelshaus said. "We want it expedited. It is in the interest of the people tiat the determination of the constitutionality of the act is expedited." White maintained that there no longer was any emergency need for the restraining order the attorney general had sought against the cases in the state courts.

He said the Indiana Supreme Court has since given time for the matter to be considered by two Marion Coun- ty courts where cases are pending. One suit was filed in Marion County Circuit Court and specifically concerns one senator, Wilbur Newlin, R-Mooresville. The other was filed in Marion County Superior Court and is an effort to block Secretary of State John Bottorff from accepting future filing of candidacies under the 1965 law. 43-year-old Terre Haute mom strangled by husband TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (UPI) --A 43-year-old mother was shot to death in her bed Friday as her 5-year old daughter slept beside her.

Police said Mrs. Doris Deuster was apparently shot by her estranged husband, William, 46, who then fatally shot himself without awakening their daughter, Madonna, 5. The gunfire did not disturb any of the three children, including Dottle, 19, and William, 15, who were asleep in other rooms. Mrs. Deuster apparently was not shot as she slept, police said.

She evidently awakened when her husband entered the house. Mrs. Betty Emberton, who picked Mrs. Deuster up daily to take her to work at Columbia Records, told au- thorities that when she stopped in front of the house shortly before 7:30, Mrs. Deuster came to the door and said, "Drive on, don't ask any questions." Deuster was believed to have entered the house through a basement window.

He reportedly moved out about a week ago after the couple separated. The shooting was discovered a few minutes later when Mary Cole, a housekeeper, reported for work at the Deuster residence and could not get in because the door was locked. She knocked repeatedly and Dottie awakened and let her in. The bodies were found a moment later. Police said Mrs.

Deuster's body was in bed. Deuster was lying on the floor in the bedroom critically wounded with the rifle at his feet. Two empty cartridges were found on the bed. He was rushed to Union Hospital and died about two hours later. Both had been shot in the head.
