Rules Holding Two Offices Is Illegal INDIANAPOLIS <UPl>—lndiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers ruled today that State Rep. Otto Pozgay ] (D-South Bend> surrendered his | seat in the Legislature last Nov 1; when he took a second lucrative i office as St. Joseph County deputy prosecutor. Steers said taking the prosecutor office job was a violation of the State Constitution. He said his ] ruling means that Pozgay "is not now a member of the Legislature —he forfeited that when he took, the job as deputy prosecutor.” "The office of deputy prosecut- ‘ ing attorney and member of the Legislature are both lucrative offices under the state within the meaning of the Indiana Constitution,” Steers said. "Inasmuch as both positions are lucrative offices ; under the state, the acceptance of the second office vacates the ’. first,” Steers said the holding of both offices "is against public policy." "The offices in question are under separate departments of state government and the simultaneous holding thereof by one individual is in violation of the Indiana Constitution," Steers said.

the state, is subordinate to and ■ under the supervisory powers of ■ the Legislature, thus making the - (offices incompatible with each other." The opinion was sought by State ■ I Auditor Albert Steinwedel at the I request of St. Joseph County AudiI tor Emery L. Molnar. I "If it were right that one county I lof the state have its prosecutor or its deputy prosecutor as a memIber of the Indiana General Assembly. there would then be no reason why each of the 92 counties of this state might not also be entitled to such representajtion.” Steers said. "If a controlling faction in the Legislature were composed of ! prosecutors and deputies prosecui tor it would be conceivable for 'the Legislature to materially increase salaries payable to Prosecutors and their deputies, to"™thorize the appointment of additional unnecessary deputies and personnel and to enlarge the powers or diminish the duties of the office of prosecuting attorney. Pozgay has been a state representative since 1953. He was appointed deputy prosecutor last Nov. 1. Girl Scouts . d °^ s t r p . t w «.e nKS ‘ichoot The meeting was opened •by saying the Girl Scout laws. Dues were collected and the leaders passed out the skating party tickets.
