Schools Are Warned On Time Payments INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Indiana schools have no legal authority to purchase automobiles on time payments involving finance charges, state officials said today. . — — The warning was contained in a report by the Indiana State Board of Accounts which was certified to the Porter County' grand jury and the attorney general’s office. The report concerned the Westchester Twp. School Corp, in Porter County. The field examiners noted that $276 was paid for finance charges during 1962-63 oh a conditional sales contract for a station wagon used for .driver training courses at the school. “Your examiners find no legal authority to purchase in this matter,” the report said. It noted the corporation had ■ made “numerous purchases in excess of SI,OOO without advertising for bids.” Included were football field lights', lockers, paper towels, shop equipment, coal, tires, and a used 60-passenger school bus. An overdue tuition fund was also noted with the explanation that reduced payments of state support. below what was expected when the budget was made, caused the problem of overdrafts on the fund. < During the time thg finance charges were noted, treasurers for' the school corporation were John Pillmamr who served until Dec. 31. 1962 and current treas- • urer Edwin Harrington, both of Chesterton. Governor Connally ■ Reported Improved AUSTIN, Tex. (UPI) —Wounded Gov. John Connally, who has spent most of the past month in a hospital bed, looked forward today to a Christmas visit with President Johnson at the LBJ Ranch, and a trip to the Cotton Bowl New Year’s day to see the football battle between Texas and Navy.. “I assume that if the President gets to spend a few days down here,” said Connally, “I will get to see him.” Johnson is due to arrive at Bergstrom Air Force Base near Austin at 3:15 p. m. (EST) today. A helicopter will take him the 65 miles from the air base to his ranch. The governor said if weather and doctors permit, he wants‘to be in the stands Jan. 1 to cheer the nation’s top ranked football team. “I’m certainly going to root for Texas,” said Connally, “although I am fond of Navy.” Connally was Navy secretary before running for governor. Connally appeared in fine spirits Monday when he greeted newsmen in the governor’s mansion. He said he had lost 10 pound' since he was "shot down by President Kennedy's assassin. He spent most of the past month in two hospitals, . recovering from the gunshot wound, and from a blood clot in his right leg. The governor's wife, Nellie, and his two children joined him in his pre-christmas news conference. He said his doctors began letting him out of bed for a short period each day last Thursday.— Found Not Guilty Os Running Light A case in justice of the- peace court has been continued indefinitely, and in another case the defendant was found not guilty. Thomas Alien Christen, arrested in May of this year, was found not guilty of a charge of running a red light. A case of passing on a railroad track against Donald Wayne Bell was continued indefinitely. Bell was arrested in March of this year. Former Professor At Purdue Dies Monday LAFAYETTE, Ind.
