Hillenbrand jobs plan is 'anti-business': Orr

By The Associated Press ;' It Gov Robert D. Orr has fired the opening salvo of the 1980 general election campaign for governor, blasting a proposal of his Democratic opponent to help bring jobs to Indiana. Orr, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, said the plan of Democratic nominee John A Hillenbrand would do more harm than good for Indiana businesses. Orr. unopposed in Tuesday’s primary for the Republican nomination for governor, told the Indiana Manufacturer’s Association Thursday that Hillpnbrand’s plan would allow for governmental monitoring of business. Hillenbrand, a Batesville businessman, also spoke to the IMA, of which he has been an officer. During the primary campaign against Sen. W. Wayne Townsend.

Kokomo mayor plans 'selling' city to benefit unemployed

KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) - Slumping car sales that have triggered thousands of layoffs here have left Mayor Stephen J. Daily with a product he must * f sell” to help the unemployed: the city of Kokomo. His potential customers? Business and industry, he says. “We’ve begun the work that needs to be done, but we should have been doing this kind of work several years ago,” Daily said Thursday of his efforts to ebnvince industry to locate in his central Indiana community. Some 1,100 workers at General "Motors Delco Electronics plant in Kokomo were told Thursday they will be laid off either on a temporary or indefinite basis beginning Monday. The Kokomo workers join 550 employees already on furlough at IhC plant. A spokesman said the new layoff will affect all departments at the plant and that a reduction in the number of salaried workers also will be necessary soon. “I don’t think anyone can predict how bad it’s going to get,” Daily said. “The only Census employee is fired FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - The U.S. Census Bureau in Fort Wayne fired a 19-year-old receptionist Thursday for her involvement in a work stoppage protesting overdue paychecks. A spokeswoman for the census* workers said they might walk off the job entirely if the receptionist were not rehired today. Robert Yehl, district census manager, said Becky Wuellner was fired by the regional office in Chicago for trying to encourage other offices to stop working and for using federal phone lines to talk to other offices. * Wuellner, employed since January and paid $3.55 an hour, said she called other Indiana census offices to see if they were having trouble getting paychecks. She also asked if they would support the Fort Wayne job action About 150 of the Fort Wayne office’s 180 employees stopped working Wednesday because some paychecks, due last Friday, had not arrived.

proposed governmental monitoring system sounds like an early start to me,” Orr said at the French Lick meeting. Orr, who heads the Indiana Commerce Department, said the proposal is not needed and could breach the confidentiality that businesses need to compete in the market place. "This proposal is just plain anti-business and would discourage economic growth in Indiana,” Orr said. Hillenbrand’s campaign spokesman, Mike Riley, declined to comment on the Orr speech. Riley said because Orr did not mention Hillenbrand by name, no response was called for. In his remarks to the IMA, Hillenbrand said the problems of the ’Bos for government are going to be dealing with government over regulation, over spending and deficit financing. Hillenbrand said inflation proved to be a blessing in disguise for government, because it caused more tax dollars to flow into governmental treasuries. In other political develop-

thing we can do on a shortterm basis is take care of those people who are unemployed at the present time, and at the same time, work very hard to entice new business and industry into our community.” Daily said Kokomo had a 14.2 percent unemployment rate for April, and he estimated that the most recent layoffs would push that to 17 percent. But there is hope, he said. “I talked with the people at Delco (Thursday), and they have indicated that things are going well at the plant and were pleased to be able to hold off the layoffs this long. (The layoffs) are a direct result of slumping auto sales, and they feel there will be a pick up in the fall,” he said. Daily added, “We’ve all become accustomed to Chrysler (Corp.’s) problems, and it’s somewhat frustrating and disturbing to have Delco laying off people and adding to our problems.” Kokomo was not the only Indiana city hit by more layoffs Thursday. Some 119 workers at GM’s Fisher body plant at Mar-

ments Thursday: —Orr’s campaign manager, Gordon K. Durnil, said the lieutenant governor would seek support from labor in the fall election. Hillenbrand’s primary opponent, Townsend, had the bulk of support of organized labor. “I am convinced that working people would prefer Bob Orr as governor, with his proven record of creating more jobs for Indiana, over a clone of Jimmy Carter," Durnil said. Riley said Hillenbrand already has begun to mend fences with labor and expects union support in the fall. —lndiana House Elections Committee Chairman Richard Mangus, R-Lakeville, said the Legislature has contracted with Ball State University for a study to determine why primary election voter turnout was so low. The study includes a telephone survey of about 1,000 Hoosiers of voting age, to be conducted this month. About 1.2 million of the state’s 2.9 million voters turned out for Tuesday’s primary.

ion and 90 workers the Dana Corp. Spicer Universal Joint Division plant at Marion were 1 notified as well. At Dana Corp., officials say the 90 hourly workers will be temporarily laid off for one week beginning next week for inventory adjustment. Officials said the layoffs at GM in Marion include some with seniority dating back to 1968. The layoffs at the Fisher plant will reduce its workforce to about 1,775. About 1,100 workers have been laid off at the Marion plant since the auto industry began its slowdown last year. Sluggish auto sales and decreased production at various assembly plants are the reason for the layoffs, officials say, and a GM spokesman at Marion said more layoffs are anticipated. Plant manager Walter Bartkowiak said the Dana Corp. facility supplies parts to light duty trucks and that demand is down, adding that the current workforce at the plant is 575.

Media asks cameras in Evansville court

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) - If Julie Van Orden is tried in Evansville on a charge of killing former Mayor Russell Lloyd, 13 local news organizations want cameras on hand to record the proceedings. Representatives of the local media asked Vanderburgh Circuit Judge William H. Miller on Thursday to allow one television camera and two still cameras in the courtroom during the trial. The request came one day after Ms. Van Orden told Miller that she wanted television cameras on hand for her murder trial. But Miller has yet to decide

Second jail escapee captured

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Three Marion County jail escapees still at large will be recaptured now that another one has been caught, authorities predicted Thursday. They sought warrants in U.S. District Court charging William Fletcher, 31; Nathan Hogan, 26, and Sammy Lee Gray, 20, all of Indianapolis, with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. “I think we’ll get all of them now,” said sheriff’s Capt. Harold Young. Five mmates fled the jail last Saturday by sawing through cell bars and sliding down a makeshift rope. Jeffrey A.

where the trial will take place. The judge granted a defense motion Wednesday for a change of venue. Minutes later, Ms. Van Orden persuaded him withdraw his approval. “I really don’t want a change of venue. I have my reasons,” the 35-year-old commercial artist said. “The only way for me to have a fair trial is to have it here in Evansville. “I want it televised and I want to take sodium pentothal. I have made a lot of mistakes, but I did not kill Mayor Lloyd.” Sodium pentothal is a truth serum. Miller is expected to rule on the change of venue motion

Gladish asked permission for camera coverage of the trial. “The defendant has stated in court that she desires to have her trial televised,” Gladish said in a letter written in behalf of 13 newspapers, radio and television stations. “We believe this would be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the effectiveness of cameras and microphones in the courtroom.” Gladish also cited the impact courtroom coverage had on the 1979 Miami murder trial of Theodore M.
