12 Usury BillHits A Snag COLUMBUS (AP)-A bill that would exempt federal home loans from Ohio's usury law limiting interest to 8 percent ran into trouble in a House committee late yesterday. As a result the Insurance, Public Utilities and Financial Institutions Committee offered a substitute bill that would be in effect only 75 days. "THAT WILL get us off the hook and give us time to work something out," said Chairman Robert Netzley, R-Laura. A floor vote is scheduled today. The substitute bill is the same introduced earlier in the day, with the exception of the April 1, 1970 expiration date.

Netzley said he had no idea if it would be possible to pet the substitute measure through. The banking and savings and loan interests wanted the bill to include commercial home loans as well as the federal VA and FHA loans. The federal loans, by government directive, recently went up to 8.5 percent interest. Firms specializing in them said they need the exemption to compete in the market. Banks and savings and loan officials said a bill that mentions only federal loans would be "discriminatory" against other home loans.

EIGHTY-THREE i of legislation were either introduced or prepared for introduction as the 108th General Assembly reconvened. The house passed one bill a housekeeping measure that would require two Franklin County Court of Appeals judgeships to be determined by separate elections. Sponsors said if the oversight had not been corrected four persons would have been running for two seats in the November election, rather than for specific judgeships as the law intended. A bill to create another Ohio crime commission was introduced into the House by Rep. Thomas B.

Rentschler, R-Ham-ilton, and eight co-sponsors. Rep. Michael R. Hollington, R-Cuyahoga, said he will reintroduce in the House today his Ohio Consumer protection bill. It passed the House last July but died in the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The bill is designed to provide state and county governments with a more important role in comsumer protection. It would give them authority to stop de-c i trade practices that have only intrastate impact. A 25-m ember commission, without subpoena powers, went out of existence after a final report to the legislature early last year. 4 Bills Propose Around Our Town By John Sweeny Journal HeroW Staff Wrltar A 25 percent collection fee levied against six rent strikers has been called "outrageous and unreasonable" by the strike organizer, and may lea4 to a bar association investigation. Melvin J.

Jackson of the Dayton Organization, organizer of the four-month rent strike, called the fees "outrageous and unreasonable" yesterday and said the tenants involved are considering tiling a complaint with the Dayton Bar Association. Bar Association President James James T. Lynn Jr. said the association would agree to investigate. One point of such a complaint would be that the apartment operator, the Federal Housing Administration, should pay the fees rather than the tenants.

The fee is being charged by Some Dayton area school districts would lose large sums of money if President Nixon vetoes HEW-Labor appropriations bill. p. 21. About Business National Cash Register among glamor stocks chalking up good gains on New York Stock Exchange, p. 18.

However, an FHA spokesman would not support Carter's position. Carter does not plan to charge the fee to 20 other tenants who have moved out without paying rent or are being evicted. In those cases, in which garnishee and attachment actions will be taken to recover the back rent, the apartment manager has agreed to pay his fee, Carter said.

He had sent him to jail at least 43 times. So when Army Sgt. James Hobson, 24, walked into Epton's courtroom yesterday, the judge called immediate recess. Bac in the old days, Hobson was a leader of the Vice Lords, one of Chicago's largest street gangs of teen-age toughs. "I just can't tell you what a trouble-maker this fellow was," the judge said.

Enrollment, for example, will more than double at Wright State University, Sinclair Community College, Central State University and Wilberforce University in the decade. At the University of Dayton and Antioch College, enrollment will remain about the same but those schools will strive for substantial changes in curriculum and way of life.

Recently, the presidents of Ave area universities and the vice president of a sixth talked about what lies ahead for their schools. Here is some of what they said.

Knudson said he would not be surprised to see 1 1 go much higher, especially with the college's new campus as an attraction. The campus, located on urban renewal land in downtown Dayton, will be finished in die early 70s, probably by 1972. "The expected Increase in enrollment will mean a subsequent increase in faculty," Knudson said. "The new campus has provisions for 285 faculty members." WILL THE NEW campus be outgrown in the 70s? "Well, a concentration of more people than we expect on the new site would not be wise," Knudson said. "One possibility to take care of the overflow is to continue our centers in local area high schools, but this Is good only for evening classes, of course.

"Another possibility would be area," he said. Knudson and his staff, in planning for the 70s, based their plans on a number of assumptions: college enrollment nationally to increase by 50 percent; federal support to i r. a Vietnam war to have little effect on enrollment; Sinclair's one-mill tax levy to be renewed in 197S. Using these (and other) assumptions, Knudson predicts a com rolled curriculum growth for Sinclair, with emphasis on two-year career programs, particularly in what he calls allied health programs medical technology, nursing, inhnlatlon therapy, radiology. He also foresees a continuing interest in adult education, with emphasis on learning tor the fun of it art, music, drama, for example.

"THE ADULT classes will be of two basic kinds," he said. "The first will be taken by competitive position and we might even be favored in some cases." Kundson also foresees a trend toward individualized instruction on the college level by use of mechanical teaching devices; more remedial courses for students with poor high school education, and close cooperation with the public and parochial school systems and other Dayton-area universities. Wright State "Wright State University is going to flourish in the next 10 years," said President Brage Golding. "I don't think we could stop it even with bad management Golding cited two reasons for his prediction: 1, The fact that American (Continued on Pago S) Ninth of a Series a satellite campus or campuses. We have absolutely no plans about that right now, but It is obvious that we will have to do a little thinking about it." Knudson said the main addition to the new campus he expects In the decade will be a teaching gymnasium.

"THIS A MUST, because the site is too small to have an extensive o-itdoor recreational clair might be in a position to attract good faculty. The reason? "Community colleges a i-tionally reward people for good teaching, whereas most four-year Institutions tend to reward them for research and writing," Knudson said. "With the heavy nationwide emphasis on community colleges, we are finding a lot of pec pie who like to teach. I.
