Bowen Anticipates Scholarship Act

IN DIANA POl.IS. <AP> Gov. Otis R. Bowen told Indiana private college officials that he is looking forward “with anticipation" to signing the “freedom of choice" amendment to the state scholarship act. The amendment directs the State Scholarship Commission to set up a separate fund for scholarship awards and educational grants for attending private colleges and universities. “This act is unique in another way as well, for Indiana has an offer for a dollar-for-dollar match in funding this program from the Lilly Foundation.” Bowen said in remarks prepared for delivery at the annual meeting of the Independent Colleges and Universities of Indiana. The House passed the amendment 84-7 last week after it had cleared the Senate 44-4. The governor praised the offer from the multi-million dollar foundation, established by the Indianapolis pharmaceutical manufacturing family, as “the type of public and private

participation that I believe is so important to the people ol Indiana in gaining maximum beneficial public service at the least possible cost to the taxpayer.” He said. “If education were forced into an assemblv line strait jacket, it would stagnate and certainly wither. Fhis vital quality ol diversity must not onlv be protected but it must also be nurtured and conscientioush developed.” Bowen said unfortunately the 1967 act allowing direct credits on the state income tax for college contributions and the 1971 creation of higher education grants had tailed to be the aid contemplated for private educational institutions. He said enrollment in the non-public colleges and universities has declined to (ewer than 53,000 from more than 55.000 in 1970. He said half of the state's college students once at tended Indiana private schools and the figure now is about 28 per cent.

Prater Discloses Yablonski Murder Knowledge To Court

PITFSBI RGH, Pa. (AP) William .1. Prater, convicted of murder in the 1969 slayings of United Mine Workers reformer Joseph A. Yablonski and Yablonski's wife and daughter, has given authorities a handwritten statement detailing his knowledge of the killings, sources close to the case said yesterday. I he statement, which Prater was said to have written in his cell shortly after an Erie County jury last month convicted him of three counts of tirst-de-gree murder March 26. “brings us a step closer to the top” in the killings, one source said The sources said the statement does not directly mention former I MW President W.A. “Tony” Boyle in connection with the slayings. Special Prosecutor Richard Sprague claimed in his closing argument at Prater’s trial that Boyle, who defeated Yablonski in an election for the union presidency three weeks before the murders, was the man behind the slayings. But one source said the statement does “refer frequently” to Albert E. Pass, a former middle-echelon UMW executive

currently awaiting trial in the slayings. Boyle has steadfastly maintained that he knows nothing about the murders, and has never been charged in the case. Pass. 52. ot Middlesboro. ky .. is among seven persons arrested thus lat in the killings, and is the last awaiting trial. He was secretary-treasurer ol the I MW’s District 19. embiacing parts of Kentucky and lemitssee. and a lormer member of the unions policy-setting International I xecutive Board.
