MIMJMU (luu.l MUKlHlNb IIMCi I nutsoay jungury 11, iyo; i House GOP remapping plan snag in caucus INDIANAPOLIS (UPI)-Hopes of House Republican leaders draw up an Indiana congressional restricting plan that would meet with quick party approval ran into a a caucus Wednesday. A proposal for creation of new districts to replace those invalidated by the U. Suprene Court was presented to GOP House members but produced no agreement. Caucus chairman Charles B. Howard, R-Noblesville, said GOP leaders had not expected any agreement but "wanted to let them know the problem we're facing so they can discuss it among themselves and come up with a plan" which will draw the 51 votes needed for House passage.

There were reports, however, that a motion was made to support the specific plan included in maps passed out at the caucus but that no vote was taken. The maps were collected again as the legislators left the caucus room. There were strong indications that dissatisfaction with the proposal was greatest in the 4th District. Chairman Jack Smitherman, R-Mooresville, of the House Legislative Apportionment Committee conceded that caucus members "are giving us some problems." Smitherman and majority leader William E. Ruckelshaus, R-Indianapolis, will be the sponsors when the GOP pian is introduced in bill form.

Howard said the Republicans except another caucus on the subject Friday. He said they still hope to introduce a bill before the end of the week but admitted it might be difficult to get an acceptable plan ready by a time, The issue of using the state's general fund surplus for property tax relief cropped up again on the floor of the Senate when Sen. Wilfrid J. Ullrich, D-Aurora, introduced a measure calling for an additional $1.3 million for welfare assistance to dependent children and disabled fathers. Ullrich said he had talked to his constituents about the GOP plan to use $144 million of the surplus for property tax relief "and I can't really find anyone who wants the state to dole back money from its surplus when some of this money could be used to strengthen already existing programs." Ullrich proposed that the present $80 per month for a dependent child and mother be raised to $100 and that $23 per month be added for families with a disabled father.

"Some 1,800 incapacitated fathers are now listed among the 11,500 families on welfare but are not receiving benefits," Ullrich said. He referred to a measure introduced earlierby Senate President pro tern Jack H. Mankin, Terrc Haute, which would authorize the state to pay 63 per cent of welfare costs, cutting the county share from 40 per cent to 37 per cent. "To me, this bill reflects a responsible approach to real tax relief for our citizens," Ullrich said. The flood of bills being introduced continued inboth chambers and the House voted to delay its Thursday session until afternoon, leaving the morning open for committees to act on the bills assigned to them.

The House passed two bills Wednesday, its second and third since the session began January 5. One, approved 83-3, would require slow-moving vehicles to pull to the side of the road to allow vehicles behind them to pass The second, approved 90-1, would allow utilities to give retired employes the same reduced rates they now give to active workers. The bills now go to the Senate. The Senate Elections Committee voted Wednesday to recommend passage of a bill abolishing Indiana's presidential preference primary which was revived a few years ago.
