BRADEMAS WARNS OF LOSS Oct. 24 — Congressman John Brademas (D-Ind) today warned that Indiana may forfeit millions of dollars in Federal grants for the construction of sewage treatment plants because of the failure of the state to appropriate matching funds. At the same time, he announced hia intention to introduce legislation to assist South Bend, Goshen. Warsaw, Culver and other Third District communities meet their water pollution problems. “Unless the Whitcomb Administration finds some way of allocating about 113.4 million by next May 15 the 129 Indiana communities with applications for constructions grants pending before the state Stream Pollution Control Board will be deprived of as much as $26 8 million in Federal Funds,” said Brademas. Brademas noted that there were nine communities from the third district with pending applications: Culver, New Carlisle, Warsaw, Bourbon. Bristol South Bend, Goshen, Winono Lake, North Liberty and Walkerton Each year the Federal Water Quality Administration makes grants of funds to the states to be distributed among local communities for the construction of sewage treatment plants, F-d

eral funds can finance 50 fierce nt of the total cost of each project The state and local government must contribute 25 percent each in matching funds. “The 1969 session of the Indiana Genera! Assembly appropriated only $6.5 million in matching funds for the two-year period 1968 71. “said Brademas. “This sum was not even enough to mate h the f-deral grant of S2O million for the first year alone " This year the Federal government again allocated S2O m.llion to Indiana, and an additional 6 8 million in unused funds carried over from the previous year. The state has until May 15 1971. to provide matching funds. Otherwise the Federal funds will be real Hoc a ted to other states “The failure of state leadership in this case is truly shocking," said Brademas. “Indiana communities are ready to go forward with 129 projects costing a total of sl3l million, but they ar< stymied by the inexcusable short sightedness of the Whitcomb Administration.

COLLEGE EDUCATIONS REQU I BED Since wr ting a series of article# about divorce laws In Indi ana. I have received num irons inquiries about the exxact nature of the duty imposed by law upon the father to support his

I minor ch Idren. One recurring qu -stlon is whether or not the father of a healthy minor child 1 is required to send him on to college after he is graduated from high school This has been a matter of some extensive l.tigition in the Indiana Courts. Prior to 1961. our Indiana Supreme Court had consistently । held that the father in a divorce , action was not required to pro v.de for the coll ge education of ( his minor son. The 1961 Indiana . Legislature, perceiving the great । change that hud come over our society in that many people ar ■ now finding a college education a necessAy. changed the law of custody, support and education by making a specific provision that the Court could require the father to provide all or some spe- ■ dfied part of the cost of educai tion of a ch’ld beyond the twelfth yar of education provid'd by : the public schools in deeding a proper divorce judgement It should ba> noted that this was not a mandatory provision of the law but was I ft in the sound discretion of the trial court judg • to determine from all the facts presented whether such order was proper in the view of the circumstances of the p irties to the divorce suit In arrvmg at this d cL-mn. the statute provided ' that the court take m consider- ■ ation the earnings of the fol her his staton in life, the ability of the child involv d to complete • a college education, the aptitude of the child as evidenced by h’A school records, and other relev mt factors as to wheth r or not it would be proper to order the father to pay all or part of the cost of a college education. It was not long befor • this i new provision in the law of divorce was tested in our Indiana Supreme Court ond the court pro perly Implemented this statute.

The Indian i Supreme Court felt that the trial court had p opcrly implemented this statute in awarding this am ount of the money out of the $75.00 per week income of the dependent father The court iso found that this would not pay th • entire cost of the college education for the two children, of course but only part ot the necess try cost incident to a coll ge educat Van. It Is obvious th It there is. therefore a strong public poin y in favor of providing of a college education for capable minor children of a d voice A father is therefore not rel eved of the providing to his oblig it ions ah' - lately in Indiana until th- child has leached the full age of 21 or has become an emancipated minor.
