JASPER SINCE 1937 contract at the conclusion of each of the first three years will be dependent upon her merit and performance, the settlement states. The school corporation will pay Mrs. Drexler, or her counsel, the costs taxed against the school corporation in the Court of Appeals in the amount of $1,109.60. The suit was brought by Mrs. Drexler against the school corporation in 1971 when her teaching contract was not renewed for the following year.

A decision of the Federal District Court in 1972 to abstain from hearing the case on grounds that there were state law questions to be determined was first upheld by a three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, but later reversed by the full panel of that court and sent back to the District Court for trial. Legislature Nears The Midway Point (Concluded from Page 1) Gary, introduced a House concurrent resolution charging that "the state of Indiana is not meeting the requirements of the federal food stamp law and regulations" and that "in many instances there is a. delay of several weeks in the granting of emergency food stamps which causes long lines with interminable waits for eligibility determination and resultant hardship upon many individuals and families." The House resolution urged that least one computer terminal should be placed in every county food stamp and also that other speed-ups be made to "eliminate the backlog and keep all food stamp applications current." The State Department of Public Welfare and the county welfare departments handle the food stamp program in Indiana. Harris was joined in the resolution by other Democrats and sought immediate action but minority Republicans urged a more adequate consideration of such a sweeping order and succeeded- -with Democrat help -in getting the resolution made a special order of business, for 3 p.m. Monday.

Republican Minority Leader Kermit 0. Burrous said "there Chevy LUD Economy Drive TON Sized with the mini-pickups, yet built to move payloads up to 1080 lbs.

He moved for the food stamp resolution to be made a special order of business and was joined by some Democrats in a 53-43 vote that delayed any action at least until Monday.

Harris said he felt that "the primary relay rests with the State Department of Public Welfare" and urged the steps outlined in the resolution be taken "to take out some of the bottlenecks." Rep. Robert L. Jones, R- Indianapolis, objected to the fact the Legislature might be putting the Department of Public Welfare in an impossible situation with an order for 92 computer terminals, one in each county. "There are not 90 terminals available to- be installed." he said. He charged the lawmakers, if they adopted the resolution were trying "under the weight of emotion to dictate to the professionals who are running the (food) program." But Rep.

Michael K. Phillips, D- said that "the Bureau of Motor Vehicles saw fit to install terminals" to help motorists get their licenses and titles more quickly and the same thing should be done for poor persons needing food stamps to keep from going hungry. In the Senate, the resolution of Sen. Rudolph Clay, D-Gary, memorializing Congress "to reject the proposals of President Ford to increase the cost of food stamps and to reduce social security was assigned to the and Interstate Committee. The resolution proposes that the Indiana Legislature go on record "in the interest of insuring that the poor people of the nation do not bear an unduly heavy share of the burden the economic problems of the country are (and) urge the Congress of the United States to reject the proposals of the President to increase the cost of food stamps and to reject the proposals to make any cuts in programs dealing with the provisions of assistance persons in need."

Auto Industry Layoffs Drop 23,000 Monday By EDWARD S. LECHTZIN UPI Auto Writer DETROIT (UPI) Auto industry layoffs next week will drop by nearly 23,000 workers despite an announcement from the Ford Motor Co. that it is putting another 1,050 workers on indefinite layoffs. The four automakers will have 17 assembly and manufacturing plants closed for one week starting Monday with 252.980 workers on short -and long -term layoffs. That compares with 27 plants closed this week and 275,130 workers off the job.

Next week's layoffs amount to almost 40 per cent of the industry's 657.000-member labor force. Ward's Automotive Reports, the industry's statistical service. said auto output this week totaled 82.995 cars, 14.3 per cent less than last week and 26.4 per cent fewer than in the same week last year when output already was depressed because of the energy cris.

He was talking about a statement by Ford's chief economic adviser, Alan Greenspan, that there is virtually nothing the government can do to get unemployment below 8 per cent in the next two years.

Arthur Burns, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, said Friday Greenspan's prediction is too pessimistic, but gave none of his own. Ford has predicted unemployment would average 8.1 per cent this year and 7.9 per cent next. Evansville Boat In Louisville Race EVANSVILLE, Ind.
