Toll Road Employes "Held State Workers Ruling Issued By Attorney General INDIANAPOLIS (INSI-U newlybakqd “hot potato" may be cooled off somewhat by the time the Indiana toll road commission gets around to its formal consideration, July 20. Attorney general Edwin K. Steers Wednesday ruled that ell toll road employes are state employee and that toll road funds are state funds. The ruling was made In response Jo a query from Cecil Bolinger, executive secretary ’of the public employees' retirement fund. . Officials of the toll road commission have proceeded on the assumption that since 'thei/> jindertakinge are financed with non-tax jfundqjrom sal lam ds to private investors, they are not a direct part of state government. Salaries of the commission personnel never have been reviewed by the slate budget committee, and director Donald Clark commented that there was doubt whether they should be. He said a question exists as to whether the law creating the toll road commission does not also exempt the body' from the budget act. He added that the budget committee will discuss the question at its next meeting July 21. Meanwhile, a spokesman for thb toll road commission said that the members will discuss the attorney general's opinion at the commission's next meeting July. 20. He said that the opinion probably would be referred to Ralph Gregg, attorney for the toll road commission, for his advice. Steers himself said that his ruling was intended to clarify the question of whether or not toll road commission employes come under the public employes retirement fund, and was not intended to apply to the queetion of state budget committee review. __ .

Heart Foundation Sponsors Project Research Project In High Blood Pressure The Indiana heart foundation and the Northeast Indiana heart foundation yesterday announced plans of sponsoring a new research •project in high blood pressure at the Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis.

He said that the new project, one of tei> to be supported by the Indiana heart foundation, will be in memory of a newspaperman,' the late Maurice, Early, for years a page one columnist for the Indil.Mr. 'parly's death last Fetopnivy was caused by hypertension. ®r high blood .pressure. ! “High blood pressure is a major health problem, and its causes are neither simple nor well-known,” Dr. Eisaman said. “That will be the purpose of the Early memorial research grant, to supply some answers to the hundreds of questions which today exist about high blood pressure. “Aging certainly is not the cause, as has been popularly supposed,” he added. “The number of patients increases after the age of 30, reaching a maximum among those in the prime of life. “But even babies sometimes have the illness, and it is sufficiently common in young adults to have become the chief reason for the death of women in childbirth."Approximately 100,000 Hoosiers . suffer with high blood pressure, it was brought out.

All told, more than 2,500 Indiana Residents died of high blood pressure including 10 in Adams county; 12 in DeKalb; - ■six in in Kosciusko; five in Steuben; 11 in Whitley and 18 in 'Wells county. "Treatments now used to help high blood pressure patients include drugs, surgery, rest and reL taxation. Physicians advocate as much sleep as possible because I blood pressure is at its lowest during sleep. Exercise must be watched and blood pressure patients . must stop before becoming tired," Dr. (Eisaman commented. “Physicians also suggest that hypertensive persons not eat too much at one time, and that their diets be reduced if they are overweight. This is' one reason why the Northeast Indiana heart foundation is sponsoring weight control programs,” he said. "Recent developments in the medical treatment of high blood pressure are most encouraging and present-day treatment is able to ■ accomplish more benefit than ever ! before. Although we do not have, 1 as yet, a 'pill’ or some other simple solution of the problem of high 1 blood pressure,■’ much can be done for many patients who have this condition and need treatment. ( “We are confident that heart re--search, -partially supported by con- • tributlom, to the Northeast Indiana heart foundation, will supply r new answers to this problem," Dr. • Eisaman said. *■ r Break Ground July 25 • For Church, Parsonage f Ground-breaking ceremonies tor r the new 3250,000 St. John.
