10 THE TRIBUNE, TERRE St. Louis Fire Guts 7 Firms ST. LOUIS (UPI) Firefighters hampered by brisk winds battled for two hours before containing a blaze Friday that began in a vacant eight-story warehouse and quickly engulfed a three-block area near downtown St. Louis. No serious injuries were reported.

Youth Center Ruled Unsuitable INDIANAPOLIS (UPIi The Indiana Youth Center is not a "suitable for confining persons under age 18 who have been adjudged juvenile delinquents but who have not been convicted of a felony, the Indiana Supreme Court ruled Friday. Chief Justice Richard Givan wrote the unanimous opinion in an original action brought by the attorney general's office seeking to have Howard Juvenile Court Judge Robert J. Kinsey vacate his order committing a juvenile to the youth center Kinsey had ordered EIja Arnett Jr committed to the center, rather than the Indiana Boys School, on May 2. 1975, after he had been found to be a juvenile delinquent for attempting an armed robbery The boy. who was under 18.

had signed a waiver of consent requesting commitment to the center rather than the school. Kinsey said that to the Boys School would not accomplish any meaningful rehabilitative purpose" since state law requires that inmates be released when they turn 18 and the judge did not feel adequate rehabilitation could be acomplished before Arnett turned 18. Kinsey also argued that public institution in Indiana other than the Youth Center is designed to provide the needed rehabilitative services for and no just or reasonable rehabilitative purpose would be served by waiving jurisdiction of Arnett to adult criminal court for the sole purpose of claiming admission to the Indiana Youth The order also said that deny Amett admission to the Indiana Youth Center for the sole reason that jurisdiction was not waived to adult criminal court would be an unreasonable classification and violate the equal protection clauses of the U.S. and Indiana The high court noted that the law says that persons between ages 15 and 18 who are found to be delinquent are to be committed to specified institutions or other public institutions" or agencies. It said that the statute creating the institution would have a bearing (Mi whether it was suitable, and the law establishing the youth center said that it was for young male first-time offenders shall have been convicted of a felony therefore, hold in view of the language of the statute, that the youth center is not a for juveniles found to be delinquent for the reason that they are not persons who have been convicted of a the opinion said.

It said a law that allows temporary transfers of boys school inmates to the youth center did not change this. The court also rejected the notion that to deny the offender commitment to the youth center would deny him equal protection under the law because no argument was made that the school does not provide treatment for those in its custody. Tornado Separates Ohio City's History XENIA, Ohio (AP) City Manager Robert Stewart says managing two different cities. The first is the one that continues to exist as it did before April 3, 1974. The second is the one being rebuilt after that tornado, which has become the dividing line in the history.

The tornado killed 32 people and injured 1.000 others, wiped out 187 businesses, and destroyed the schools. Because of the extensive damage, city officials have had to st rt from scratch in several areas of the city, including the downtown where a oall and home for the elderly are planned. More th $9 million in federal and state disaster funds have enabled them to project plans for the city which would have been only pipe dreams. tornado has forced us to compress what a normal city would do in 10 years into two Stewart said would have been major steps for us two years ago have had to become As an example. Stewart notes that before what he calls "our disaster." the annual budget was $5 million Now swelled by emergency funding, it has grown to $20 million.

With so much opportunity to gam funding, the city is looking for new ways to revitalize. These include an industrial park and the new downtown mall. Stewart says that after two years, he is still encountering problems directly caused by the tornado. However, most of the complaints are from people who want to know why the rebuilding program is not faster. a whole new bal- lgame now and a once- in-alifetime process," agreed Jack Jordan, editor of the Xenia Gazette and a leader in the recovery program not surprised that people here are confused about some of the options they are faced with The everyday choices are confusing The most dramatic part of comeback is behind it.

The clearing of debris was finished in six months and now lies buried in an abandoned quarry outside of toln. Of the 1.091 family dwellings which were destroyed or damaged, 792 have been rebuilt. Construction in the private sector, has cost $40 million sofar. Jordan indicated there have already been inquuiries from industries eager to take advantages of the benefits they might derive from the new industrial park, which is currently under construction, and of the businesses destroyed. 138 have been rebuilt.

The residents, whose plight was lublicized in a network television show and a book, now are back to the daily routine and thez onceagain take the luxury of grumbling about their city government. But the fear is still there after two years. warm days, people are outside watching the skies and they say, was just like this that Stewart said. first tornado watch of the year, I came home from driving around the city and found my family gathered together quietly at the dinner table. Before the disaster, the only time I say that was atdinnert Bayh Withdraws Opposition to COP Judge WASHINGTON (UPI) Sen.

Birch Bayh. said Friday he was withdrawing his opposition to the nomination of a Republican to be a federal judge in northern Indiana. Bayh said he was withdrawing his opposition to the nomination of Phillip M. McNagny Columbia City. for an existing vacancy because the Senate has now passed legislation adding another judgeship for northern Indiana.

Until now Bayh had blocked confirmation of McNagny to replace the late George Beamer as the third federal judge in northern Indiana. Bayh argued that one judge in the northern district should be a Democrat. The other two judges, Allen Sharp and Jesse Eschbach. are Republicans. McNagny was recommended by Gov Otis Bowen, a Republican, and President Ford, also a Republican, then nominated him.

Bayh. a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee through which the nomination must go, blocked it. saying he wanted either a Democrat nominated or another judgeship created.

Satellite Aids Formation Of Public TV's Identity LOS ANGELES (AP) In the not too distant future, Americans may be raising their eyes toward heaven and thanking a satellite for improving television That is the hope of those who run public television stations across the country They are planning to spend $38.4 million to convert to a satellite transmission system in the next two years The satellite would replace the vast network of telephone lines currently used as the principal means for distributing programs to the 264 public television stations in the United States The TV signals would be beamed to the satellite in outer space, bounced from it. and spread over the country for each station to pick up on its own ground receiver and relay to the television sets in its area Executives at Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the public television network, say there will be many benefits for the viewer at home Among them: will have a greater variety of programs available to put on the air and more flexibility in scheduling them satellite system will cheaper to operate, especial iy once it is paid off in 10 years picture and sound reception in homes in many parts of the country will improve for a national. regional or specialized group of stations tsuch as those in farm regions or with Spanish-speaking can originate from many more cities satellite will make it possible for Alaska. Hawaii Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands to receive live television coverage of events on the mainland In addition, the satellite might be used later to send programs to public radio stations.

although there are techni cal problems that have to bo solved first. If approved soon by the Federal Communications Commission. the satellite inter-, connection system could be fully operational ior PBS television stations by the tall of 1978. says Hartford Gunn, lor mer president and now vice chairman of PBS. Actually, the satellite that public television would use already is in orbit.

It is owned by Western Union, which would contract to lease satellite chan nels to PBS Most of the initial expense oi a satellite system will be in the construction ot ground receiving stations Once these are completed and the satellite system is working, Gunn says, public television will be much closer to fulfilling its goaf of providing a wide diversity of programs from a large number of sources, with each station selecting what best meets the needs of its community PARIS The French and Italian Communists, by changing their images to win political power, are calling attention to the variety of policies and attitudes among Western European Communist parties. The French and Italian parties, Western strongest, are now' committed to democratic institutions and to independence from Moscow, So are some of the others the Dutch, the Swedes and even the British Communists lately while the Belgians, the Portuguese and the Danes remain Russian-oriented and revolutionary in their approach. U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and others have expressed skepticism about the sincerity of the democratic beliefs expressed by Western European Communists. Kissinger lias argued that bringing Communist parties into Western European governments will undermine the free unity and resolve.

But others say that their participation in the democratic process would threaten Soviet interests Since 1945, the French and Italian Communists have played major political roles in their countries, with the Italians winning up to 33 per cent of the vote and the French averaging between 18 and 25. The Italians began criticizing Moscow back in the 1960s and their share of the vote rose from 25 per cent in 1963 to 33 per cent in 1972, the last general election. There also have been impressive victories in recent municipal and regional elections. The success of the Italians helped jolt the French out of their old Stalinist position. There have been a series of changes since last November when the French Communists joined the Italians in stating they were the plurality of political parties, for the right to existence and activity of opposition parties, and for the Democratic changeover between the majority and the minority." The French party could report that it gained 93,873 new members in 1975, bringing its total membership to about 500,000 The Italian party had 1.73 million at the end of last year, alter slow, steady growth during the last 10 years.

In France, the Communists now leave most of the baiting of the United States to Gaullist politicians. They spend their time attacking the French industrial giants, the injustices of French tax laws and basic vote-getting issues such as education and housing. There is a similar feeling in Italy. Sergio Cortesi, 28. a clerk, explained it this way: I was 20 I was afraid of Communism.

Then I realized they are just another party, except they seem more honest. I believe w'hat some say that once in power it will mean dictatorship Francesco De Martino, leader of the Italian Socialist party, which collaborates with the Cnmmunists, says they say they want to be independent from Moscow I believe the Italian Communists are cere. But I know whether tomorrow they will be strong enough to reject Soviet The decisive factors in determining whether Western European Communism will become stronger appear to be the economic situations the various countries and the image of independence and honesty that the parties can project. Here is a look at the parties: West Germany In its only national election bid, in 1972, the party won only 146.000 votes, or 0.4 per cent of the total. The party does not talk of dictatorship of the proletariat, but holds up East Germany as model of social justice.

Britain The party has 28,651 members in a population of 54 million and is without representation in Parliament. A faithful Moscow ally over the years, the party has taken what seems to be a relatively daring action by suggesting that there is not enough room for dissent in the Soviet Union. The Senate Thursday ap proved another judgeship and sent the legislation to the House, where Rep. J. Edward Roush.

called for immediate passage. Bayh said he was withdraw ing his opposition to McNagny in view of the Senate action and because of assurances from Governor Bowen and other Republican leaders that the next vacancy will be filled by a qualified goal from the beginning was to maintain the principle of a bipartisan federal judiciary and to deal effectively with the long term case load problem in the northern district by obtaining an additional Bayh said. Hearings on the McNagny nomination still must be conducted by the Senate committee before the entire chamber can act on confirmation. BSU Speaker Set MUNCIE, Ind. (UPI) Retired Air Force Lt.
