Hefty judicial pay hikes, rent-a-judge bill among legislative filings i nqrf.timopc u/hn makp more

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Tired of those court backlogs that have kept your lawsuit on the back burner? Some Indiana legislators have the answer: rent a judge. Under a bill sponsored by Reps. Jerome J. Reppa, R-Munster, and Maurice Doll, D-Vincennes, parties to civil suits could agree to hire a former judge to preside over their case. The judge’s salary would be subject to negotiation. Rules for the case would be the same as in a real court, and the .. ruling of the hired judge would have the same status as other judicial rulings and could be appealed. Reppa introduced a similar bill for the 1981 session of the ■ Legislature, but it got nowhere. The rent-a-judge bill was among 93 filed Monday in the Indiana House. They were assigned to committees for con- •; sideration in the 1982 session. While former judges might have new demands on their talents, sitting judges on Indiana's trial and appellate courts would »■ get hefty raises under another bill filed Monday. The measure, sponsored by Reps. Craig B. Campbell, DAnderson, and John Donaldson, R-Lebanon, would raise salaries for members of the Indiana Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals $12,000 to $54,000; county court salaries from $30,500 to $45,000, and trial court salaries from an average of $35,945 to $48,000

Yugoslav jet crashes into mountain; 174 die

AJACCIO, Corsica (AP) A chartered DC-9 airliner carrying 168 Yugoslav tourists and six crew members slammed into fog-shrouded mountains 30 miles from the airport here today and Ajaccio police said all aboard were killed. They said the wreckage of the Yugoslavian Inex-Adria Airways craft was found by search parties on the slopes above Casa Casalabriva, about 30 miles south of Ajaccio airport, nearly four hours after radio Banner-Graphic "It Waves For All" (USPS 142-020) Consolidation of The Daily Banner Established 1850 The Herald The Daily Graphic Established 1883 Telephone 653-5151 Published daily except Sundays and Holidays by LuMar Newspapers, Inc. at 100 North Jackson St., Greencastle.

and radar contact with the plane was lost. High winds and fog had hampered efforts to locate the downed plane, police said. Ajaccio police said the DC-9 crashed on the west face of Mount San Pietro. Bodies were scattered on the sides of the mountain among the debris of the aircraft, they said. Civil defense workers were taken to the scene by police helicopter. Earlier police reported spotting metallic debris near Serra-di-Ferro, about 12 miles south of Ajaccio near the west coast of this Mediterranean island. A helicopter was sent to the scene. It was not immediately clear if this was part of the wreckage. Villagers reported seeing an aircraft apparently in trouble and others said they heard one or more explosions, possibly as the aircraft crashed into Mount San Pietro.

The Legislature would have to approve gubernatorial appointments to the Public Service Commission under a bill introduced by Rep. Darrell Felling, D-Terre Haute. The measure would require utilities to offer subsidized rates for non-profit organizations and governmental entities. Republican Reps. Richard B. Wathen of Jeffersonville, Paul Mannweiler of Indianapolis and Ralph Ayres of Chesterton are backing the creation of a 20-member state film commission to promote Indiana as a new haven for movie moguls. The bill says the commission should encourage the filming of motion pictures in Indiana. The panel also would receive royalties from movies filmed in the state, with the money earmarked for the state general fund. Wathen also has a bill to require that any confidential or restricted government record be made public 75 years after it was created. Churches would be allowed to obtain temporary alcoholic beverage permits for up to four days a year under a bill sponsored by Republican Reps. Richard Worden and Mitch Harper, both of New Haven. The state would take a “hands-off” policy toward exclusive selling territories for beer wholesalers under a bill sponsored by Rep. Thomas C. Coleman, R-New Castle. The measure has been described as “beer baron by the back

The number of people aboard the airliner was confirmed officially in Yugoslavia, where the one-day excursion to Corsica was organized by the KOMPAS tourist company in Ljubljana. Most of the people aboard the plane were believed to be Yugoslavian. The aircraft sent a distress message shortly before it was due to land at Ajaccio airport, control tower officials said. The plane was on final approach to landing when the tower lost radio and radar contact with the craft, they said. Neither the French regional government office in Ajaccio nor the Yugoslav tourist company could give the number of crew aboard the DC-9. Both sources said however that all those aboard the flight were believed to be Yugoslavia, The worst single airplane

crash in history occurred in France on March 3, 1974, when a Turkish Airlines DC-10 crashed 26 miles northeast of Paris, killing 346 people. In July, 1973, a Boeing 707 belonging to the Brazilian airline Varig crashed in flames near Orly Airport outside Paris, killing 122 people. A month earlier, during the 1973 Paris Air Show, a Soviet supersonic Tupolev 144 crashed while attempting an emergency landing during a demonstration flight. Eight crew members and nine people on the ground were killed. The worst aviation disaster in history occurred on March 27, 1977 when Pan American and KLM Boeing 747 s collided on a runway on Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary killing 582 people.

The S3OO million sale by the nation’s largest manufacturer of farm and construction equipment was approved last week despite initial objections by Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger, according to Defense Department officials. Weinberger contended that the transaction would enable

100 attacks in nine states Three arrested in 'Ski-Mask Rapist' case

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Authorities in nine states, including Indiana, want to talk to three men arrested in Louisiana in connection with the so-called “Ski-Mask Rapist” case, said the head of state police on Monday. “We have heard the number

door,” because it allows brewers, wholesalers and retailers to decide among themselves how to carve the state into territories. Under the beer baron concept, the state would determine exclusive franchise areas for beer wholesalers. If Rep. Steve Collins, R-Ogden Dunes, has his way, neither the State Board of Health nor the Air Pollution Control Board would have the power to mandate vehicle emissions testing. Rep. Richard Mangus, R-Lakeville, sponsored two bills to clear up discrepancies in the 1981 reapportionment law. In another bill, Mangus resurrects his plan for a pre-primary convention to slate candidates for governor and lieutenant governor. The measure would change the date of the May primary to June and would schedule party conventions at least 90 days before the June primary. Rep. William Soards, R-Indianapolis, introduced a bill to repeal the law which makes temporary legislative employees ineligible for unemployment benefits. This repeal is necessary if Indiana wants to retain U.S. Labor Department approval of its unemployment compensation program. The Legislature would have to make a special appropriation before any money from the federal block grants could be spent, under a bill sponsored by Democratic Reps. Richard C. Bodine of Mishawaka and Michael K. Phillips of Boonville. Rep. Robert J. DuComb, R-Granger, wants to include full-

His bill also would require the House speaker and the Senate president pro tern to report in the legislative journals who is getting paid and how much from House or Senate funds. Other bills would: —Require the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to make detailed financial reports each year of its branch operations. —Outlaw “paramilitary” instruction on firearms intended for use in a riot. -Mandate buses, trucks, semi-trailer rigs and recreational vehicles to be equipped with fenders, mudflaps or splash guards to minimize the effect of road spray. —Raise from 13 to 16 the legal age limit for selling tobacco to minors. —Require public transit companies to offer free transportation to people over 65, except during rush hours. —Provide a method to remove public officials convicted of $ felony while in office. —Create a commission to find additional office space for the Legislature. —Establish the Parke County Covered Bridge Commission to promote the preservation of covered bridges in that county. —Require binding arbitration of all public employee disputes.

Garrison said Simonis “nflay have been involved in numerous attacks in Louisiana. Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida. Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, California and possibly others!." He has been linked to attacks in several Texas cities, • including Texarkana, WoodvHfe, Orange, Houston and Beaumont as well as attacks in St. Petersburg, Fla., and a San Francisco suburb, Garrison added. “All of the cases seem -to revolve around Simonis,” said Garrison. “You might say he formed the core or a nucleus. Sometimes he worked alone and sometimes in concert. His accomplices were not always involved in the sexual assault?, but sometimes they were.” ; Garrison said Simonis fits “pretty close” to la psychological profile worked up by the task force with help from experts. Simonis differs from the profile in only a few ways, but declined to point out the differences.
