WHO’S WHO IN THE 1968 ELECTION

X;

QUESTIONS ASKED CANDIDATES FOR UNITED STATES SENATE 1. Please list education, training, and experience you have which qualify you for the office for which you are a candidate. 2. What changes, if any, would you advocate in federal policies to solve the problems of the cities? 3 What changes, if any, would you advocate in U.S. policy toward Southeast Asia? 4. How do you propose to meet the demands of the federal budget?

UNITED STATES SENATOR 6-year term elected by the state atlarge. Indiana is represented in the U. S. Congress by 2 Senators, only one to be elected at a time. Must be 30 years old, citizen for 9 years, and a resident of the state when elected. Salary: $30,000 per year plus allowances for stationery and other office supplies, and telephone and telegrams; for clerical assistance; and for mileage to Washington each session. Up to $3,000 exempted from income tax for living expenses in Washington, D.C. Congress has the power to make all laws necessary for carrying out the powers given it in the Federal Constitution.

REPUBLICAN

1. Education, training, experience: Princeton, A.B., cum laude; Harvard, L.L.B.; House Majority Leader, 1967 General Assembly; Senate Attorney, 1965 General Assembly; Chief Counsel, Attorney General, 1963-65. 2. Problems of the cities: Return a portion of Federally tax collected monies directly to the local governments through revenue sharing or tax credits as a substitute for Federally-dominated and controlled programs. This would diversify the solutions to the complex problems of the cities, diminish bureaucratic immobility, and involve people in the solutions to our problems. 3. U.S. policy toward Southeast Asia: My solution is essentially the same as that of Senator McCarthy and the late Senator Robert Kennedy, i.e., change the Johnson - Humphrey administration in Washington. Our policy in Southeast Asia, as everywhere in the world, must have as its ultimate goal the best interests of the people. In my opinion our best, interests are not being served now. 4. Demands of the federal budget: The requests for the expenditure of money at the Federal level cannot be divorced from the necessity of protecting the soundness of our currency. Priorities in terms of programs must be set so that in our zeal to make a more equitable distribution of the abundance of America we do not destroy the economic system that has made that abundance possible.

DEMOCRAT

BIRCH EVANS BAYH, JR. 40, West Terre Haute; United States Senator

1. Education, training, experience: Purdue, B.S. Agriculture; I.U., LLB; Farmer; Attorney; 8 years Indiana legislature. U.S. Senator — 1962-68. Member Public Works, Judiciary Committees. Author 25th Amendment to U.S. Constitution. 2. Problems of the cities: Federal programs, alone, not sufficient. We must mobilize state, community, individual participation; place emphasis on jobs, training, education, business opportunity so self-reliance can ultimately replace dependence on welfare. This can only be accomplished through non-violent change, maintenance of law and order, equal justice in our society. 3. U.S. policy toward Southeast Asia: As I said upon returning from Vietnam, “Our goal is self-determination for South Vietnamese.” People of South Vietnam must do more to secure this goal for themselves or we must do less. They must assume greater share of fighting.

Corruption must be stopped. America should not be world policeman. We must encourage regional security so nations living within a region possess capability to defend themselves. Of greatest importance, we must intensify our efforts to find alternative solutions to war— peaceful solutions for international differences. 4. Demands of the federal budget: We must reassess our priorities: cut expenditures in areas not necessary to U.S. security or to critical needs of Americans at home. Have attempted to cut expenditures by over $6 billion, e.g. in military foreign aid, advanced space programming, reduction of troops in Europe.

Salary $25,000 a year, plus $6,000 annually for other expenses of his office. In addition, the state furnishes the Governor a home and appropriated slightly over $33,000 for maintenance and $9,000 for repair and equipment of the home for the 1967-69 biennium.

ROBERT L.

ROCK, 40,

Anderson; Lieutenant Governor

1. Education, training, experience: Graduated from the Indiana University School of Business, I served four terms in the Indiana House of Representatives, serving as House Minority Leader in 1963. My term as Lieutenant Governor has further broadened both my legislative and executive experience. 2. Problems facing Indiana: Education has to come first. The quality of our public schools and our state universities is our greatest asset. I have an unshakeable commitment to maintain and improve the quality of our educational system. We must seek to increase state revenues to local school boards. Modernizing our primary highway system, and modernizing state government itself are the next most important challenges. Modern highways pay for themselves by saving lives, property damage, travel time and through economic development. Modernizing state government is essential if state government is to deal effectively with its responsibilities, rather than default them to the federal government.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR 4-year term. Same requirements as Governor. Salary $16,500, plus $1,800 per year as president of Senate and, when General Assembly is in session, an additional $5 per day for serving as president of Senate. By statute, is Commissioner of Agriculture and Director, Department of Commerce.

REPUBLICAN RICHARD E. FOLZ, 46, Evansville; Treasurer, F. J. Folz Co., Inc. 1. Education, training, experience: Indiana University — Georgetown University _ U.S. Navy (Pilot — World War II) — Twenty years of business, banking and civic activities — and a vital interest in creating and maintaining a vibrant economic climate in Indiana. 2. Problems facing Indiana: Most important problem facing State of Indiana is what I call Problem of Responsible Change. We are faced with technological advances that stagger the imagination — that make our productive capacity unlimited. But we are also experiencing great upheavals in our social and economic structures. We must recognize this change — accept it — yet work to preserve our heritage within this change. Think this best can be done by creating economic climate in Indiana that will attract and retain forward-looking industries and provide good jobs so that each of our citizens can take meaningful and proud position in this new society.

DEMOCRAT JAMES W. BEATTY, 36. Indianapolis; Lawyer & Marion County Democratic Chairman 1. Education, training, experience: University of Michigan Law School; Army Judge Advocate Corps; Practicing attorney for nine years; Indianapolis Corporation Counsel, 1964-66; Marion County Democratic Chairman, 1964 to present; worked closely with Marion County delegation to General Assembly, 1965 and 1967. 2. Problems facing Indiana: Crime and mental health take top priority to insure a safe, productive society. We need all the community mental health centers we can realistically finance by combining tax and private funds. Acutely overcrowded, understaffed mental and penal institutions need new ideas for staff training and recruitment as well as better financing. We need more effective gun control legislation. Education is also vital. Public schools throughout the state need more state aid and more consultation from the state on how to use citizen participation to work out ticklish social problems connected with the schools— particularly that of racial integration. SECRETARY OF STATE 2-year term begins December 1 in even numbered years. Cannot serve more than 4 years in any 6-year period. Salary $16,500 per year. Attests official state documents; compiles, publishes and distributes statutes enacted by General Assembly; administers laws regulating issuance and sale of corporate securities; issues charters of incorporation. Securities Division under this office. Ex-officio member of Corporation Survey Commission, State Board of Canvassers, Commission on Public Records, and Indiana State School Building Authority.

Education, training, experience: Anderson, Indiana, Schools; Culver Summer Naval Schools; Indiana University, B.S.—Law School, D.J. Former City Attorney; Director and member of Investment Committee of several corporations. 2. Administrative and/or legislative changes: As Secretary of State, I would appoint a study commission to consider legislation for creation of career staff positions in the Securities Division in order to attract and retain competent personnel; the separation of duties of the Securities Administrator from the Securities Commissioner; the efficient and systematic revocation of corporate charters of corporations no longer in existence. Recordkeeping can and should be done with data processing equipment, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs; for example, the cross filing of trade mark records with corporate records. Computerization should be utilized for Notary Public records, and Commercial Code Security Agreement expirations.

DEMOCRAT REPUBUCAN SUPERINTENDENT OF

STEPHEN W. CRIDER, 29, Fort Wayne; Trust Officer 1. Education, training, experience: Graduate of I.U. School of Business and School of Law. Current position is of administrative nature including immediate responsibility for corporate stock transfers. 2. Administrative and/or legislative changes: The most important change with regard to this office would be constitutional changes which would eliminate the office as an elected position, reorganizing the executive branch of state government into a cabinet-type administration. Of course, these changes cannot take place during the next term. Thus, of more immediate concern are modernization of the corporation division and study of existing corporation laws, further study of the securities laws with particular regard to protection of the public, study of trademark registration, legislation, and streamlining of Notary Public procedures with emphasis on renewals including special expiration notices to each notary.

Administrative and/or legislative changes: I would hope to apply my every effort to cutting waste and increasing efficiency in state government. As Auditor, my major responsibility will be to insure the prompt and accurate preparation and distribution of state checks, a responsibility that I will dispatch with the utmost care. Also I would hope to encourage the Legislature to adopt implementing legislation allowing the connecting of remote computer units in the various County Auditors’ offices around the state with our computers in the Statehouse. Such a system would go far towards saving our taxpayers countless thousands of dollars.

Bookkeeping, administrative experience for 24 years encompasses payroll, state & federal tax withholding, daily ledgers, accounts payable & receivable, office procedures. 2.
