She Ladwig Endorses Public Hearings he tends to favor the proposal for a county-sponsored ice skating arena, James Ladwig, candidate for the County Board in the 22nd District, said the outcome of public hearings is the most valuable aid in making a decision. Speaking at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Wayne Karls, 4023 Coach Light Drive, Ladwig said the public hearing gives the citizen an opportunity to make his views known to his supervisor and other supervisors. He added the ice rink proposal will be given another hearing on April 8, 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Hall and said, "The views and comments made there will have a direct influence on any final decision I would make if elected." Ladwig said he idea because of its recreational value not only for children but for adults and families as well. i ft 1 WELDON ROUGEAU By Linda Winkleman Journal Times Staff Voter registration should either be simplified or eliminated. That was the advice given here Wednesday by a National Urban League (NUL) official.

Weldon J. Rougeau, director of the NUL citizenship education department, said no one has yet been able to persuade him that registering to vote is necessary. He is in charge of the league's voter education-registration projects, including on in Racine. Rougeau, whose offices are in New York, was in Racine Tuesday and Wednesday to observe the local project. The six-month voter education-registration drive is intended to increase the numbers of blacks and other minorities who register and.

vote. "Registration shouldn't be a major burden on a person's time." The burden should be on the state to make it simple for persons to register, then the responsibility for voting should rest with the individual, he said. In the last Presidential election, 55.5 per cent of the eligible voters voted, he pointed out. "I think that's just horrible, just scandalous, for (that to happen in) the richest, most technologically sophisticated country. "It raises all kinds of questions.

How do the rest of the people feel? Are they dis illusioned completely? Do they feel they won't concern themselves with it?" The NUL voter education projects 26 total have emphasized de-centralizing registration. That has worked well in Racine, he noted, where state statutes allow for it. "We're very happy city officials were receptive to our work and have helped." number of persons were deputized in order to register persons in such places as community centers and grocery stores. That's enabled the Racine project to be probably the outstanding voter registration program for a city of its size in the current phase of the project which includes 13 cities, Rougeau said. Preliminary figures show more than 1,100 persons have registered to vote through the project here.

In Buffalo, N.Y., "where they're having fantastic problems" only 200 have been registered in the same amount of time, he said. The voter education-registration projects have been conducted by the NUL with a special grant for a two-year project which will wind up in May. It's unique, he said, in that it has focused on medium and small-sized cities like Racine, instead of metropolitan areas. The project has made a good start, and it's hoped education- registration activities can be included in regular Urban League programs. He said it has brought expertise to local Leagues, previously uninvolved in what has become "a sophisticated organization of registration campaigns." Rougeau, a Louisiana attorney who joined the NUL staff two years ago to head up the voter project, discussed a wide range of topics, including a fear that an open society will be a long time coming.

"It's time to put the terrible history of racism behind us, and have an open society. But there are still politicans who would not have an open society. Some would turn to what South Africa has, or would see a return to pre-1964, before public accommodations, before desegregation." But the country could not survive, if that would happen, he said. "If we could face the future and put racism behind us, and look at the 250 million people as a whole "Either we're going to have a war between the races and classes, if we continue the way we're going, or we're going to have outright oppression." "I can see it building up," he said, and pointed as an example to the group calling themselves the Symbionese Liberation Army. "It's a multi-racial group of various classes they are people who are generally fed up.

They see the poverty on one Firm Can't Hike 104 Mortgages Monday night that more than 100 people in Racine with escalator clauses in their contracts would not have increased rates. However, officials at First Federal of Wisconsin could not be reached for comment at that time. der the state charter because they were originally the notes of a state chartered institution that merged with our federal institution," he said, adding that the former Belle City office at 1733 Douglas Ave. was one of the savings and loan association that was previously a state chartered institution. "Each of these notes had to be treated on an individual basis to determine if the interest rates could be increased or not," he said.

"We concluded, on our own volition, that if there is any question about any loan contract, we would be glad to have the person stop in and discuss it with us." Some 104 of about 400 mortgage contracts at First Federal Savings and Loan Association (Belle City) which were scheduled to have increased interest rates were not increased because the original contracts do not provide for the increase, Noel Mangan, senior vice president at First Federal of Wisconsin in Milwaukee, said today. hand, and affluence on the other." "It's a very depressing thing. We need real leaders, but there are few who are." Real leaders, he said, do not pander to emotions. "I reject out of hand, people who go around infuriating people on the busing controversy, when there are so many other things that need to be dealt with unemployment, runaway prices, the quality of life." Rougeau called President Nixon's "appeal to an emotional issue like busing" tragic, and said it shows his lack of ability to be a leader. He said real leaders "understand their constituents and have an idea of the greatness of people and what future society can be like."

Lt. Harris, however, testified Red Cross Seeks County Purchase Robert Mutchler, chairman of the citizens group which opposes the mortgage interest rate increases (CUTOFF) announced that he showed his badge and told the men at least four times that he was an officer before Vorlob struck him in the face. A gun Vorlob allegedly pointed at Harris was said to be a blank pistol.

It was not shown to the jury. Vorlob testified that he did not point the gun at Harris and that he punched Harris when he saw him drawing a pistol. Harris testified that Vorlob's gun was pointed at his face and that he was punched when he attempted to disarm Vorlob. The jury deliberated about half an hour after hearing testimony and arguments for, some six hours. Another resolution coming up for action at the final meeting is the request of the Law Enforcement and Legal Services Committee for a hearing on juvenile crime in Racine County.

Specifically, the committee seeks to learn more about the existing juvenile court system, the availability of juvenile services and to gain information on the expansion of the juvenile court proposed by Judge John C. Ahlgrimm. Complaining they 'have not been successful in producing a face-to-face disci'ssion" with Judge Ahlgrimm and others, the committee members asked that they be empowered to issue subpoenas if necessary to guarantee the appearance of persons or information considered essential to the inquiry. County supervisors will be asked to approve the purchase of the Red Cross headquarters property at 745 Wisconsin when they hold their final meeting of the board year April 9. A price of $48,500 has been agreed to for the property located on the northeast corner of Wisconsin Avenue and 8th Street across from the courthouse.

The purchase has been proposed by the special Space Needs Study Committee which said in its resolution for purchase, "It has become apparent to the committee that acquisition of some property in the immediate area of the courthouse would be advisable in the interests of sound planning." Youth Corps Head Suspended; Program Under Investigation John H. Jackson, director of a tri-county Neighborhood Youth Corps (NYC) program based in Racine, has been suspended from that position. Thomas E. White, executive director of the Racine County Community Action Program, which administers the program, said Jackson was suspended March 13 with pay until urther notice. He said the CAP executive and personnel committees had met in closed session and agreed on the suspension.

He refused to give a reason for the suspension! other than "there were allegedly some problems, and as a result of this, (Jackson) was suspended." NYC, an employment program for low-income youth in Racine, Kenosha and Walworth counties, is under investigation by local and federal authorities for possible misuse of funds. White refused to say if Jackson's suspension is associated with the investigation. Something new at Jos. Lawrence.
