Court nixes challenge to domed stadium tax
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indiana Supreme Court today dismissed the constitutional challenge to the Marion County food and beverage tax to finance a domed stadium in Indianapolis. In an unanimous ruling, the justices said the plaintiffs. Sen. Julia M. Carson, D-Indianapolis, and Marion County Democratic Chairman Knute Dobkins, waived their right to challenge a lower court's ruling because their appeal wasn't filed on time. The Supreme Court also refused to assess damages against Mrs. Carson and Dobkins iirfavor of the city of Indianapolis for delaying the progress of bond-letting on the stadium project. The Supreme Court's ruling is based on procedural law, not on the merits of the lawsuit. The suit challenged the legality of enabling legislation passed last year which allowed the Indianapolis City-County Council to

Final report on laetrile says drug useless against cancer
c. 1982 N.Y. Times NEW YORK - The drug laetrile has produced ‘‘no therapeutic benefit” against cancer, according to the final report of a governmentsponsored study. The report also described laetrile as a potentially hazardous substance, although it said none of the patients in the study experienced grave side effects. The report, published in Thursday's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, said that 90 percent of the patients’ cancers became worse within three months after treatment started and fewer than 20 percent of the patients were still alive after a year.
impose a 1 percent tax on all food and beverages sold in Marion County restaurants, bars and carry-out establishments. The revenue from the tax, estimated to be about $3 million a year, is to be used to pay the interest on bonds to finance the domed stadium. The City-County Council passed an ordinance April 28, 1981 implementing the tax. "Given the state of the law as reviewed above and the facts of this case, we sustain appellee's motion to dismiss for the reason we have no jurisdiction to proceed any further in this case due to appellants' failure to follow the statutory provisions for appeal," Chief Justice Richard M. Givan wrote. The high court refused to award damages to the city, ruling that since the city moved for a summary judgment before a time was set for the plaintiffs to post their bond, the damage issue was waived.
The study was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and approved by the Food and Drug Administration under considerable public pressure. It was intended to give the drug what some specialists viewed as a final chance to demonstrate its value against cancer. Few cancer specialists believed the drug had any merit, but its use had been legalized in 27 states, it was given to thousands of patients in the last 23 years and had some strong supporters in the medical profession. The study was conducted by the Mayo Clinic, the University of California at Los Angeles, the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Can-
cer Center, the University of Arizona Cancer Center and the National Cancer Institute. The report involved 171 patients whose experience with laetrile was fully documented, and three others for whom there was partial documentation. All suffered from cancers of types not considered curable by conventional means. All the patients were judged to be “in good general condition” at the start of the study. Few laetriie supporters were expected to be convinced by the report. They have already criticized the study for limiting the test to otherwise unbeatable cancers.

Senate rejects change to allow lottery
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The Indiana Senate has voted 26-24 to reject a constitutional change that would allow a state lottery. Lottery proceeds would have been split between state and local governments. “Don’t delude yourselves into thinking people in Indiana don’t gamble,” said bill sponsor Sen. Joseph Harrison, R-Attica. “There’s a considerable amount of illegal gambling in Indiana now.” Harrison told the Senate it was time to address reality. Iloosiers buy lottery tickets from Ohio, Illinois and Michigan, he said. Lotteries in Indiana’s are barred by the state Constitution. To change that a measure must pass two sessions of the Legislature and then be approved in a voter referendum.

Dozier freed in raid; terrorists surrender
PADUA, Italy (AP) Police commandos burst into an apartment in this northern Italian city today and freed U.S. Brig. Gen. James L. Dozier as terrorists from the Red Brigades held a pistol to his head, Italian and U.S. officials said. The rescue ended his 42-day ordeal in a “people’s prison.” “At the time they arrived, a pistol was being held to the general’s head,” National Security Adviser William Clark told ABC in Washington. He said one shot was fired. “He’s a bit tired and a bit shaken by events, but in good health,” said a U.S. Embassy official in Rome. A special commando unit of the Italian security police had located the apartment Wednesday night but held off the raid until daytime for fear a night attack might endanger the 50-year-old general’s life. Five terrorists holding Dozier gave up without resistance,

Bill co-sponsor Sen. John Bushemi, D-Gary, said their proposal would “allow citizens an opportunity to vote on this important issue.” Harrison said, “The only way we can ever answer the question is to go to the polls and let the people vote aye or nay.” Bushemi said 15 states have

lotteries grossing more than $3 billion. He estimated Indiana could raise $66 million net profit for public services with about sl7 million for schools. “A lottery will not solve all of the state’s revenue problems, but it can be an important supplement to state and local revenues,” Bushemi said.
cracked the Red Brigades terrorist “column” which operated in the area of Verona, where Dozier was kidnapped Dec. 17. “It was a textbook operation. They cracked the column, the people talked and they followed up every single lead. They did it right and it worked,” said a U.S. official, who asked not to be identified. Shortly after being taken to police headquarters, Dozier telephoned his wife, Judith, who left their apartment in Verona and went to West Germany about 10 days ago, U.S. officials said. The terrorists, several of whom were dressed as plumbers when they kidnapped the NATO general, transported Dozier 40 miles east, in the direction to Venice, to this city. Dozier is the highest-ranking U.S. military official at the NATO base in Verona. The White House said President Reagan was
Bushemi said a lottery may help stave off a future tax increase. He said the measure would be primarily a revenue raising device and was “not intended to legalize gambling.” Sen. Thomas Hession, RShelbyville, said the state had enough money to fund basic services and more revenue “is not going to necessarily let us fund our responsibilities any better. The people are not going to know what they’re voting for. Virtually any form of gambling may be considered a lottery by the courts.” Bushemi said lotteries do not compound or contribute to social problems, but opponents of the bill disagreed. “The more opportunities there are to gamble the greater
Reagan ponders visit to Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (AP) President Reagan is considering an appearance before the Indiana Legislature next month to tout his plan to return more governmental power to the states. Republican leaders say. White House aide Judy Peachee called House Speaker J. Roberts Dailey. R-Muncie, Wednesday to make tentative plans for Reagan to appear Feb. 9 before a joint session of the House and Senate. “I was flabberghasted,” Dailey said. Dailey and House Majority Leader Richard Dellinger, RNoblesville, stressed the arrangments are still in the preliminary stage. “It is not definite,” Dellinger said. He noted FBI agents were in the Statehouse Wednesday checking out security around the legislative chambers. Asked why Reagan would want to speak to Indiana legislators, Dellinger said, “The president appreciates what Indiana has done for him.” Indiana was the first state to be listed in the Reagan victory column in 1980 and also gave Reagan a victory over thenPresident Gerald R. Ford in the 1976 GOP presidential primary. Republicans control both houses of the Legislature and also hold all statewide offices. Dellinger said there is some feeling Indiana may be in a better position than other states to adopt the programs of the new federalism outlined in Reagan’s State of the Union speech. When the news was announced, a handful of Democrats joked they would consider auctioning their seats on the House floor the day of Reagan’s speech as a fund-raising ploy to finance their re-election campaigns. t

awakened at 6:50 a m. EST, by William Clark, director of the National Security Council and the president’s national security adviser. “A lot of prayers have been answered. It’s difficult to express gratitude to all those who assisted in his release,” deputy press secretary Peter Roussel quoted Reagan as saying. Dozier’s sister, Joan Townsend, of Alvin, Texas, told a Houston radio station that she had clung to the hope he would be rescued. “We got used to the hopes. I did have a sense of calm all along that this would turn out positive,” said Mrs. Townsend. A Vatican spokesman ex; pressed “relief and satisfaction” at the release of Dozier. ANSA said word of Dozier’s release was relayed to the head of Rome police by the prefect of Verona, the local representative of the national g..eminent, who has directed the probe of Dozier’s abduction.
the number of compulsive gamblers and consequently the greater the number of people who will be adversely affected by this social cancer,” said Sen. Charles E. Bosma, R-Beech a Grove. “Legalizing any form of gambling can only turn out to be a method of regressively taxing the poor. It offers to those who are least able to afford it, the opportunity to legally waste their money on games of chance when in effect this money ought to be spent on the basic neeeds of family living,” Bosma said. Sen. Joseph O’Day, DEvansville, said, “We’re not voting today on whether or not we’re going to have a lottery.” He said the issue was whether the people should have the right to decide.
