Seek Cancellation Os Lease On Coliseum Wirtz, Fair Board Battle Continuing INDIANAPOLIS (INS)—A Chicago corporation and its affiliates, all headed by Arthur Wirtz, today had a two-pronged pincer' attack working against the Indiana state fair board. A battle between Wirtz forces and the board appeared settled several weeks ago when the board awarded a group headed by Melvin Ross, Indianapolis ticket and travel agent, contract for the Fairground Coliseum. Wirtz' directed Indianapolis Coliseum Corporation, headed by Richard Miller, had held the lease for the full 15 years the Coliseum had been in existence but declined to bid on renewal of the lease. Earlier this week, Wirtz' Chicago Stadium Corporation filed suit for $106,000 damages allegedly suffered when the fair board allegedly refused to release property allegedly' belonging to the Chicago group. Late Friday, Miller, acting for the Indianapolis Coliseum Corporation, filed suit to cancel the Ross group’s five-year lease on the state-owned show-place. The latest suit charges that the board altered the terms of the lease after the Wirtz group withdrew from bidding. Officials said the only change was one granting both building and concession lease rights to Ross. Secretary-manager Kenneth F. Blackwell countered that he would recommend that the state board file suit against the Wirtz-Miller organization for damage to the building during their tenure.' Trains on British railways cover a greater mileage and run more miles per head of population than in any other country in Europe. There are enough porcupines in some portions of Nebraska to cause serious damage to timber stands. ■ -in- .1 Through trial and testing one develops patience, understanding, and kindness.
