The interest from the notes would provide up to $25 million a year in investment profits, which would be used for engineering and other advance work on the high-speed system. Following the studies, the legislature would decide in 1990 whether to build the system. In Mansfield, the Ohio Brass Co.

said a highspeed rail system would generate Jobs In north central Ohio because the company is the only U.S. manufacturer capable of supplying the tracks. An Ohio high speed rail contract would be Ohio Brass largest, company vice president John Harkness said.

High speed trains can go up to 170 mph. The trip from downtown Cincinnati would have stops in Middletown, Dayton, Springfield, Columbus, Mansfield, Gallon and Cleveland. The one-way fare for the entire route would be about $36 and require about 4 hours, Snyder said.

Service could begin In a year, he said.

The senator told a news conference that be recognizes some hesitancy among Ohioans accustomed to auto and air travel to resurrect trains and said, "it seems reasonable to me to Implement this on an experimental basis."

Stamper was killed instantly when his car crashed into the rear of a parked tractor-trailer on northbound 1-75, south of Ohio 122, the Ohio Highway Patrol reported. Troopers said the truck driver, Leroy C. Hutchinson, 42, of Rock Port, had pulled onto the berm to check a road map when the accident occurred about 2 a.m. Meanwhile, a 47-year-old Franklin woman died Thursday from injuries she received in a head-on crash last week on Union Road in Middletown.

June Bowman of Shaker Road was northbound on Union, just north of Ohio 122, around 9:30 a.m. on Nov. 7, when she apparently lost control of her car, went left of center and collided with a southbound car. A dispatcher with the patrol's Lebanon Post said both cars went off the west side of the road and ended in a ditch. The dispatcher said Bowman was thrown through the windshield.

Bowman was taken to Middletown Regional Hospital and then transferred to University Hospital Medical Center jury in October for allegedly providing Hewlett-Packard microfiche cards in September 1980 to a sales representative of one of Hewlett-Packard's Mel Parshall, who is employed by Midland Ross Grimes. Explaining Forstmann Little's decision to let the airport lease expire June 30, 1987, Parshall said, "They have a flight department In New York, so they phased this one out. "If nothing else, I think the city will manage (the airport) with a minimum or skeleton crew," Parshall said. "We'll be able to operate it," agreed City Engineer Claude Nickerson. He said Friday that industrial firms In neighboring Bellefontaine and more remote Cincinnati have Indicated interest In using the airport, about 20 miles north of Springfield.

The operation probably would continue on an Interim basis for a year or more, Nickerson predicted. The airport will be on more solid footing in about two years with the projected expansion of its runway to 5,000 feet, Nickerson said. Federal funds are expected to pay 90 percent of the cost, with Urbana and the state splitting the rest, he said.

Town ft Country MoH Stroop ft For HUb Kettering 29B-4BS9 By Scipio Thomas STAFF WRITER Government welfare and school programs emphasizing birth control, sterilization and abortion among blacks are nothing more than genocide, an anti-abortion activist said in Dayton Friday.

'Erma Clardy Craven, director of the National Right-to-Llfe Committee's Black Outreach Program, questioned why birth-control clinics and programs are offered more frequently in inner-city schools, which have a higher percentage of blacks and other minorities. "They are not offering these programs heavily in white or suburban schools," she said. Craven said that rather than programs that emphasize birth control, she believes blacks should be taught respect for traditional values and sexuality. Craven will be the featured speaker at Life '86, a daylong series of workshops sponsored by Dayton-area anti-abortion groups. The workshops which are open to the public at $10 per adult, $15 for couples and $5 for students begin at 9 a.m.

today at the Christian Life Center, 3489 Little York Road. She said many economic and hunger- relief programs offered to minorities In this country and poor residents of Third World countries tie in a heavy emphasis on birth control. "The reason for these programs Is they are out to eliminate people who are not seen as a resource by those in power," she said. They believe that, "A life that cannot support itself has no reason to exist," she said. Craven said she is not against sex education, but is opposed to the quality of courses taught In the schools.

"They are teaching children to have sex," she said. "I would teach children parenting skills, respect for the nuclear family and their sexuality." Sex-education programs should stress abstinence as a form of birth control, she said. She believes blacks must unite to take a stronger part In how their children are educated about sex and how they handle pressures to have sex. "They can (take control) if they get' involved In parent-teacher associations and they can if they go to the polls and vote," she said. Craven, 69, Is a retired social worker and has been an anti-abortion speaker for 15 years.
