Doesn't Expect To Win McGovern Looks To New Hampshire Primary MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) Sen. George S. McGovern is campaigning for a Democratic presidential primary more than a year away, acknowledging he doesn't expect to win it but forecasting that he will demonstrate his strength during the first four or five primaries of 1972. Preparing for the first one, in New Hampshire on March 14, 1972, McGovern said he may wind up on the primary ballot in eight or 10 states in a campaign designed to overtake the frontrunning but undeclared Sen Edmund S.

Muskie of Maine. "I think it's fair to say that New Hampshire is not one that I would be expected to win," McGovern said Thursday. "We're right next door- to Sen. Muskie, who was on the national ticket in 1968 and went into New Hampshire many times. "This is a state he ought to carry by a very large margin," the South Dakota Revenue Sharing Ignores City's Efforts Mercy Mission flalei of hay tumble from an Afr Force C130 to feed cattle marooned in southwestern Kansas by snowstorms earlier this week.

(APWirephoto) WASHINGTON (AP) To the dismay of urban lobbyists, the Nixon administration has decided to allocate its proposed urban-development, revenue- sharing fund according to a formula largely ignoring a city's past and future plans to meet its problems. The formula would turn over 85 per cent of the proposed $2-bilIion-a-year fund directly to metropolitan areas with cities larger than 50,000, according to George Romney, secretary of housing and urban development. These metropolitan areas would receive money regardless of past effort and without the necessity of an application spelling out their spending plans. Urban groups briefed on the plan last Howard County Student Finalists Honored At Scholarship Luncheon Seven finalists in the ninth annual PPG Industries community scholarship program were honored at luncheon Thursday noon in the Kokomo Country dub.

The message, HiUis said, points out the importance of adopting measures which would strengthen present programs, control emerging problems and promote environmental quality in land- use decisions. The President requests $2.45 billion for the programs of the newly formed Environmental Protection Agency.

This is more than double the amount apporo- priated in fiscal 1971. "These funds will provide for the expansion of air and water pollution, solid waste, radiation and pesticide control programs," HiUis said. The administration also requests that Tickets Available For Program Here Of Purdue Singers The opportunity to get good seats for the March 6 appearance here of the Purdue University Varsity Glee Club is still available for those who act now. According to David Davenport, advisor for the Student Union Board at Indiana University-Kokomo, a number of good seats still remain available as time for the show nears. Tickets may be purchased by writing Student Union Board, in care of David Davenport, advisor, IU-K, 2300 S.

Washington St. and sending along a' self-addressed envelop. The cost of each reserved seat ticket is $2. The Glee Club is considered one of the finest in the nation. It has appeared before in Kokomo and audience reception was termed outstanding.

The local performance is being sponsored by the student board at IU-K. $6 billion be authorized and appropriated over the next three years as the federal share of a $12 billion program of waste treatment facilities. "In the area of enforcement, President Nixon states that he would like the Environmental Protection Agency to be empowered to impose fines of up to $25,000 per day for violation of water quality standards, and doubling that amount for repeat violations," the congressman continued. "It is also proposed that $25 million be appropriated for development of better techniques to prevent and clean up oil spills and to provide more effective surveillance. "Other proposals contained in the message deal with pesticide control, recycling of wastes, toxic substances, ocean dumping, and noise.

"One of the major parts of the President's proposal has to do with a national land-use policy. While recognizing that most land-use decisions will continue to be made at the local level, the President's proposed legislation would establish a National Land-Use Policy which will encourage the states, in cooperation with local government, to plan for and regulate major develop ments affecting growth and the use of critical land areas. "To do this, the President has budgeted $10 million a year for the next five years. "The solutions to environmental and ecological problems are always complex and costly. It is easy to define the problem, but more difficult to discover the remedy.

The help come up with solutions, the President has proposed that the federal government through the National Science Foundation and the Council on Environmental Quality, support the establishment of an Environmental Institute. The institute would be delegated the responsibility of providing new and alternative strategies for dealing with the whole spectrum of environmental problems." ty-Kokomo and Haworth graduate, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Bowyer, 1532 Cranbrook Mike Champeau of Haworth, son of Mr. and Mrs.

The panel consists of Virgil Hunt, registrar, IU-Indianapolis; Dr. Herbert Miller, dean of academic affairs, IU-K; and Dr. A. Blair Helman, president of Manchester College. The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test was used as the basis for selecting the seven finalists for the scholarship valued up to $1,500 per year of $6,000 for a our-year education.

Other factors in determining the finalists are princilal's endorsement, motivation, leadership and other personality characteristics. The amount of the scholarship given to the winner is determined by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation and will be related to the student's actual needs. The minimum award will be $250 per year for four years. The six other finalists will receive $25 U. S.

Saving Bonds. Juniors wishing to apply for the PPG scholarship for next year should have their applications in no later than March 12. C. V. Haworth, Kokomo educator for 50 years, was a special guest at the luncheon.

This was the first year that Haworth has been represented with PPG scholarship finalists. LOCAL NEWS BRIEFS PRESIDENTIAL CLASSROOM Tony D. Hart, a former Kokomo resident and now a high school senior in Racine, was chosen by his classmates to attend the Presidential Classroom for Young Americans in Washington, D. this week. The Presidential Classroom was originated by President John Kennedy and consists of six sessions during the year during which high school students attend seminars conducted by congressional, administration and agency officials.

Students attending total 1,920. Hart's aunt, Phyllis Hedrick, lives in Kokomo.

The a i a League of CitiesConference of Mayors, for example, argued a city should at least indicate by simplified application how the money will be spent.

"Rather than spreading the money i it should be put where problems are greatest and there is demonstrated local willingness to meet them," said one league official. The urban-development fund would take over the present Model Cities, urban renewal, housing rehabilitation, and water and sewer programs as part of President Nixon's revenuesharing plan. Urban groups at first assumed the development fund was misnamed revenue sharing and was really grant consolidation, meaning a city still would have to apply for larger chunks of money but with a simplified form. "We couldn't believe it when the administration unveiled this formula," the league official said. Romney explained the formula this way in a Chicago speech Thursday: Five per cent of the $2 billion would be retained by HUD to reward superior performance by cities and to encourage innovation and experimentation; 85 per cent would go to areas with cities greater than 50,000 on a basis of population, poverty, and extent of substandard and overcrowded housing; 10 per cent would go to states for distribution to smaller communities outside these areas.

Some 80 per cent of the money for the statistical areas would go to the central cities and the remainder to "county and smaller jurisdictions," Romney said. All communities would receive at least as much as they averaged in urban aid from HUD over the past five years, he added. Second Man Held In Connection Wifh Theft Ring Another man was under arrest Friday in connection with what appears to be a theft ring, but the Howard County Sheriff's Dept. declined to release the person's name. Deputy Lee Eckert, who said he has had the case under investigation for a month, stated that the man faces preliminary charges of conspiracy and possession of stolen property.

Clyde S. Kizaur, 28, 2731 Apperson Way was picked up by the sheriff's department Thursday and charged with four counts including theft of stolen property. A criminal affidavit in the Circuit Court alleges that Kizaur took possession of three wheels and tires which had been stolen. His bond is $5,000. senator said, "but if 1 or some other candidate can demonstrate respectable strength here and could indicate that there is a hard core of support, I think that's significant." McGovern visited the state legislature in Concord, campaigned at Nathaniel Hawthorne College in Antrim and answered questions at a reception in a Durham living room, emphasizing as always his opposition to U.S.

policy in South Vietnam. "We will end that war in a matter of weeks if I become the president," McGovern said. In a WENH television interview in Durham, McGovern denounced current American operations in Indochina as immoral and unworkable. "I really don't know how we ever got our consciences into the position where we can tolerate the fact that day after day American bombers are ranging out across Vietnam, across Laos, Cambodia, all these defenseless little countries that don't have air forces," he said.

lo 3 p.m. each day. A Las Vegas hotel which was part of the Cook Brothers trust operation at one time and which was sold by the American Fletcher National Bank and Trust trustee of the trusts, for $5 million, an has been sold again. This time it has been sold for $16.5 million, according to a report in a Las Vegas newspaper. The property is known as the Aladdin Hotel.

It was acquired by Beryl E. and Floyd F. Cook and Donald J. Bolinger of Kokomo as trustee of the real estate investment trusts which now are under new management after going through bankruptcy. At the time, purchase of the property was made by the Kokomo group from Edmund Lowe of New York City for a reported $5 milliion.

The trustees leased the hotel and later transferred it to the Garden of Allah Corporation of Las Vegas. That corporation went broke, ending expectations of the trusts for a large monthly income with which to meet their obligations to their investors. After the three Kokomo men resigned as trustees in 1966, the Aladdin was sold by the successor trustee, the American Fletcher bank, to the Milton Prell Hotel Corporation of California, for $5 million. Hearings in U. S.

District Court at Indianapolis have brought out that the Prell firm had agreed more than a year earlier to buy the property for $10 million. The sale price of $5 million, negotiated by the American Fletcher bankwas in full satisfaction of the $10 million second mortgage. A commission of $1 million was approved by the federal court at Indianapolis for Leo Lippman Associates, an Indianapolis real estate firm, for its services in finding a buyer. According to the Lss Vegas news story the $16.5 million paid for the Aladdin includes $4.5 in debts. The latest purchaser is a group headed by Walter Gardner of Las Vegas, which bought the hotel from Recrion Corporation, also of Las Vegas.

Recrion, formerly known as the Parvin-Dohrman Corporation, purchased the hotel and its casino in 1968 from Milton Press. Recrion also operates the Stardust and Fremont casino-hotels. The Aladdin was built in the I950's and was then called the Tallyho. The name later was changed to the Kings Crown Tallyho. Its casino was added after Prell bought it in 1966.

At home, McGovern proposed a program of federal employment if needed to put jobless Americans to work. He said it is preposterous for anyone who wants to work to be unemployed in view of the things that need to be done in the United States. McGovern met privately with Democratic leaders in Concord and planned more sessions with party figures today. He acknowledged that his was an unusually early campaign start.

But his likely New Hampshire primary rivals may not be too far behind. Harry Makris, the state Democratic chairman, said the party has invited all potential Democratic candidates to appear in New Hampshire. Makris said he has word from Muskie and Sen. Birch Bayh of Indiana that they will arrange trips in Ihe near future. He said he is awaiting replies from other potential entries.

LOCAL, NATIONAL, WORLD NEWS THE KOKOMO TRIBUNE Page 2 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1971 Tribune Restates Shift In Policy on Photos (Editor's Note The Tribune has chaged its policies concerning photo coverage of certain community events. In the interest of making the public fully aware of (his new venture into belter photo-journalism, we again todiy publish in full the story announcing the changes. The story was published initially on Sunday.) A picture is worth a thousands words or is it? You have heard the expression, but have you ever stopped to test it? For some time now, Tribune editors have been doing just that. The conclusion reached from this study is that there is a better way when it comes to several community activities. The result of this study is a new photo-coverage policy.

Consider for a few moments what Tribune editors have been asking themselves. What does a newspaper photograph of one man handing another a plaque or check really tell? Sure, it let's you know someone won something or is receiving something. But don't you have to read below the photograph to even know which person is doing the ing? And, Tribune editors pondered, isn't the real news value what the man did to be honored or what the gift of money will be used for not the formality of making a presentation? And how about our photographs of new Eagle Scouts? Receiving the top rank in the Boy Scout program is far more than getting a badge. These distinguished young men have moved through the ranks, earned 21 merit badges and conducted themselves according to the strict standards of the Boy Scout movement. So, Tribune editors asked, can't the Scout's efforts be shown better to the public in a photograph of what he had to do? In the long run, wouldn't this give the readership of the newspaper a much better insight into what it takes to be a Boy Scout? And how about the election of club or organization officers? Certainly such election is an honor, but this can be told, can it not, in a news story? Isn't the real interest what these new leaders accomplish while heading up the club or organization? In short, our editors concluded Tribune photos can come a lot closer to being worth "a thousand words." Consequently the new program of photo- journalism has been adopted to give more meaningful coverage to those concerned in such events and provide more insight for our readership.

The Tribune no longer will photo- graoh the passing of a plaque. We will do it a better way. We'll show readers some of what it took for the man to earn recognition. No more pinning badges on Eagle Scouts. We want the public to see what's involved in climbing a hard, long ladder in a program this newspaper believes to be one of the finest in the nation.

We want the public to see the many varied challenges a boy hurdles on the way to the top. No longer will The Tribune settle for publishing just a group portrait of new officers. We'll take the better approach and pledge to report piclorially the activities of organizations that contribute to the public welfare. Officers who are giving leadership surely will be in these more meaningful and more informative photographs. No longer will The Tribune take the easy way of telling the public a worthwhile gift has been made.

Instead, we will attemt to show how the money will be used. These new approaches to better photo coverage in our community do not in any way alter our willingness and desire to report events in news stories. Our policy concerns only an improved system of photo-journalism. If, as will be the case occasionally, there is no way to carry out our new program, The Tribune will be happy to publish a one- column photo of an honored individual along with a news story. And we will be more than happy to publish a one-column photo of the top newly-elected club officer if an organization feels it will have no activity that will contribute to the betterment of the community.

The Tribune feels its new program will prove to be highly meaningful and asks the public's help. Needed will be as much advance notice as possible on all award and gift presentations. That'll give The Tribune time to do the job photographically. Also needed is frequent contact from organizations as to their activities. Is a picture worth a thousand words? Maybe.

Maybe not. But in the future, Tribune photographers will tell a lot more than in the past. 'OPEN TONIGHT GOING CRAZY on your A 7 i i '5. Avoid your Waterloo by bringing your tax problem to BLOCK. You'll gel every tax break that's coming to you, plus our guarantee of accuracy.
