Indianapolis police and courts are not kidding about the crack{down on rush-hour parking violations. Just ask Paul Clark of 6162 E. 25th St., who spent six hours in jail last night before he could post $100 bond. He had been ar-

when slated earlier in Municipal Court 3. Mr. Clark told Judge Joseph M. Howard the whole thing was a mystery to him, that he had re-

mons and that he did not know {he had been slated.
