FISHERS DOWNTOWN 126 EAST WASHINGTON ST. FATHER'S DAY COUPON SALE! MtfW PASTI.R MF.WS THITHSnAY, JUNE 8, 1978 FIFTEEN Ethics Committee returns to investigating By STEVE GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI) Eleven years ago this month, Sen. John C. Stennis left his office and briskly strode down the corridor. He was on a grim mission.

Stennis, the courtly former judge known for his personal integrity, went into the office of Sen. Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut to deliver the verdict. And Dodd, under investigation by the Ethics Committee for using political funds to pay personal expenses, was waiting. As the report goes, Stennis, trying to ease the impact, said to Dodd: the news is not all And it The committee had voted to recommend censure.

Although the Senate later dismissed some of the charges and softened some of the language, Dodd was censured by his colleagues. For many years after that, the Ethics Committee remained dormant. If there were any allegations brought against senators, they have remained a well-kept secret despite the continuing shuffle among its membership. Now, a reconstituted committee which last year wrote a new code of ethics, has two cases to investigate. The senators involved are Sen.

Herman Talmadge of Georgia and Sen. Edward Brooke of Massachusetts. Their cases have nothing in common except that the information which exploded into national headlines stems from ugly divorce proceedings which ended long marriages. Talmadge and Brooke have both contacted the Ethics Committee Talmadge asking for a quick determination and Brooke for a of his situation. The Committee, under the chairmanship of Sen.

Adlai Stevenson, has already announced it will hold a preliminary investigation into the Talmadge affair. It is certain to grant Brooke's request for a review. Talmadge has candidly admitted that during his career in public service which spans 31 years friends have given him cash gifts of $5, $10 or $20 to help defray day-to-day expenses. In a letter to Stevenson, Talmadge said the gifts if exceeded $25 a week, a pittance for a man who has holdings worth well over a million. The Georgia Democrat also conceded that he accepted clothing and let others pay his hotel bills when he traveled around the state.

In addition, Talmadge's office has confirmed that that the Georgia senator filed erroneous reports with the Secretary of the Senate on his campaign expenditures. case differs from but is just as intriguing. Brooke, who is up for reelection, has conceded that he made a on a deposition related to his divorce proceedings when he claimed he owed an old friend $49.000. Commentary Confronted by the Boston Globe with the fact that he failed to list the loan as a liability on his statement of holdings as required by the Senate Brooke said the sum was really only $2,000. If downward revision is correct, then he should have no trouble with the Ethics Committee.

Loans under $5,000 do not have to be disclosed. The Boston Globe has also unearthed a maze of financial dealings with a family fund which also may not be subject to the code of ethics. What the judicial system may do and how the electorate may react, is another question. Talmadge despite the embarrassment of being pictured as a millionaire who is willing to let friends stuff his pockets with small bills may also get a clean bill from the Ethics Committee. Senators now are only required to list gifts totalling $100 a year or more from any individual with a direct interest in legislation.

And previous rules, which also would apply in the Talmadge case, required the confidential disclosure of gifts of $50 or more from an individual. Only if Talmadge violated those limits which if he did would be extremely hard to prove could the Ethics Committee bring charges against him. Early age swimming advised UNIVERSITY PARK. Pa. (UPI) A child's parents should be the first to give him swimming lessons, but only after they have studied appropriate books on the subject, according to a Pennsylvania State University professor.

MacNeill points out that there are now small inflatable pools available that can be kept on the kitchen floor so the small child can paddle around under a parent's guidance. When the child is several months old. MacNeill says, it might be best to make the swimming lessons a family affair.

He adds that when a professional instructor becomes involved, the instructor may want the help and cooperation of the parents or he may prefer that they stay away from the pool. It usually depends on the child, the parents and the instructor. "Some children mav never learn to swim, and this almost always is because of a deep fear of water." MacNeill says. "Babies do not have this fear; it is acquired during the later years and in many cases, parents, who consistently warn their children of the dangers of water, are responsible." MacNeill feels group instruction is an effective way to teach children to swim, but adds that the size of the group should be limited to about eight students.
