Dr. John B. Patton, state geologist and director of I. Geology Department, and Dr. George Pinnell, dean of the U.

Graduate School of Business, were named with Indianapolis architect David O. Meeker, and Charles M. Sappenfield, dean of the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University, Muncie. The committee will make recommendations on industry policies involving operations, research and marketing. Institute President Ingalls said the Indiana Limestone industry "will profit from the advice and counsel" that the new committee would provide.

"Each of these men is a leader in his chosen field, and their individual experiences and talents will be invaluable in guiding the growth and development of the Indiana Limestone Industry," Ingalls said. Dr. Pinnell is advisor to number of U. S. business firms and is or has been a member of numerous state, federal, national and international committees and task forces on business, management and socio-eco-lou nomic development.

Dr. Patton took over the I. department of geology in 1959, when he was also made State Geologist and director of the Indiana Geological Survey. Meeker is a principal of the Indianapolis architectural firm of James Associates, and was the designer of the new I. U.

library; Sappenfield was made dean of Ball State's college architecture when it first opened its doors, in fall of 1966. Both architects have studied the Royal Academy of Arts Copenhagen, Denmark, as Fulbright scholars. Meeker, Patton and Sappenfield are scheduled to address the annual business meeting the Institute early next month in 1 New Orleans.

These proceeds also will go toward redeeming the membership certificates, which the corporation will be mailing to all purchasers next week. (They're being printed now, Robbins said.) About mid April, Junior Chamber of Commerce members from both Mitchell and Bedford also will be selling the membership certificates in denominations ranging from $1 to $75. "We'll take any amount, though," Robbins said.

"And we'll sell as many as anybody wants to buy, up until they're all gone. Only 2,000 certificates are being printed and only will be sold. And they'll make wonderful souvenirs suitable for framing if you want to keep them." He said more than a few $5 certificates already have been spoken for and several youngsters have asked that some of the $1 certificates be held for them.

The President named no replacement for Westmoreland, but many observers consider his deputy, Gen. Creighton Abrams, the most likely candidate.

Johnson said he has asked Gen. Wheeler to serve an extra year as chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Wheeler's term had been due to end July 2. In moving up to the top job at HEW, Cohen succeeds John W.

Johnson's comments on the report of the Kerner Commission seemed to bear out speculation that he was less than fully enthusiastic about the riot panel's findings. "We felt that over-all the commission wanted to be and was constructive and helpful," he said. The report, Johnson said, was "a very thorough one, very comprehensive and made many good recommendations.

We did not agree with all of the recommendations, as certain statements have indicated." The report is being analyzed by the various departments and "there is a general 'simpatico' of views, I think, between the Cabinet officers who handle dese programs and the recommendations of the the President said.

McManus said COD parcels will have to be picked up either at the Bloomington or Shoals bus terminals. McManus said the 16 Grey(hound busses passing through Bedford each day 12 north and south and four east and west will stop at Hall's for parcel pickups and deliveries, but persons, wanting passenger tickets should go to the old bus lot at Fourteenth and I streets.

"And they'd better be on time," McManus said, because the bus won't wait unless passengers are boarding or debarkding from the bus. Tickets will still have to be purchased from the bus drivers, because Greyhound has vacated the building. McManus said all freight and baggage at the Fourteenth and I terminal has been delivered its owners, or sent back to Indianapolis. "Nothing is Iseft at the terminal here," he said. "Some the freight left at the station over recent months was shipped back to Indianapolis and will have to be picked up there." He said the company ted the inconvenience to Greyhound customers but steps are being taken to find another terminal location and another terminal manager.

(AP) Members of the U.N.

She smiled as her son explained that the shiny blue 1966 model car had been his only a few days. He laughed and revealed that a used car salesman came to see him about a car, and upon finding out he couldn't walk, carried him to his car, drove him to Orleans, sold him the blue car, drove him back home and carried him in.

Six or seven of Jim's buddies usually come out every night and carry him to the car and take him for a ride for a little change of scene. Although he spends most of his time sitting with his leg propped up watching television, Jim is planning to take a vacation and rest up some more after he gets out of the Army. Then, he may go put in an application at Crane NAD. He isn't sure yet just what he wants to do. Commenting on the situation in Vietnam, King said, "It's one big mess.

I think we ought to get out of there. The guys just get over there and do what they're told and spend their time to try to get back alive." members of the 15-nation council that Israel's retaliatory attack on Jordan Thursday should be condemned. The sources said the major obstacle to agreement was a Western call for a general reference to Arab terrorist raids into Israel and Israeli-occupied Arab territory which preceded Israel's large-scale attack on Jordan. Israel said the attack was in retaliation for the raids. Algeria, one of the most militant of the Arab states and a member of the council, was said to be opposed to any such reference, however vague.

One Western diplomat said Alberia describes the Arab terrorism against Israel as a manifestation of a "national liberation movement." The Western members of the council also are unhappy about a provision in a draft put forward unofficially by Algeria that would warn Israel of "further and more effective measures" by the council if Israel should repeat its military reprisal. The Western members also had offered a proposed resolution in the private negotiations but had not been able to win wide council support for it. Up to the early hours today, no resolution had been presented to the council. Jordan had urged immediate. application of Chapter 7 of the U.N.

Grissom Named For Posthumous Award WASHINGTON (AP) The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics named Astronaut Virgil A. (Gus) Grissom of Mitchell, posthumously Friday as the winner of its Haley Astronautics Award. The winner last year was Astronaut Edward H. White III.
