ABSENTEE BALLOTING is underway at the county clerk’s office in Warsaw for the May 4 primary. Persons wishing to cast absentee ballots should go to the courthouse between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday - Friday or from 8 a m. to 12 noon on Saturday. ’ INCUMBENT (CONGRESSMAN Floyd Fithian took his battle to eliminate the federal energy administration into the legislative process Wednesday Fithian, who announced last week that he wanted congress to allow the FEA to expire, testified before the subcommittee on energy and power of the house commerce committee against a bill which would renew the agency. “This is an opportunity to save $440 million of taxpayers’ money.” Fithian told the subcommittee members. “By ending the FEA. we have a chance to prove that congress does care about the size of the federal government and is aware of the horrors of a spreading, entrenching bureaucracy.” Fithian noted the FEA will expire by law on June 30 unless congress acts to make it a permanent agency. —o— LARRY A. Conrad told members of the Indiana Farmers Union last week the federal inheritance tax was the greatest stumbling block to preserving the? family farm in America. Conrad, running for governor, pledged an effort of leadership to get federal inheritance tax reform effort at the state level if he is elected . . He said his program would: ”1. Be fair to taxpayers; 2 Provide local government with the means to provide basic service; and 3. Place the burden of taxation on those with a true ability to pay.” “IF WE wani the government to run our business should we name the head of the postal service chairman of the board? “Phil Oppenheim. second congressional district Republican candidate asked members of the Greater Lafayette Home Builder s Association last week. J "Wither wejas free American businessmen, surrender to the self serving politicians in congress and the bureaucracy, or we attack. I know not what course you gentlemen plan on. but as for myself, I have chosen to attack while I still have some of the tools of private enterprise left to work with.” Stressing the urgency for citizens, not professional politicians, to take an active part in their government. Oppenheim continued. “1 plan to attack nOw, before the OSHA inspector fines me S2OO for having j six fire extinguishers three inches higher than the manual calls for And this is in a business that hasn’t had a fire in 70 yearsl.” Calling congress “rotten to the core,” Oppenheim cited its actions in voting itself $ cost of living pay raise, increasing its number of free trips home and, grandly granting itself a half-dozen or more freebies all within a of 18 months ..” DR DENNIS J. NICHOLAS, chairman of Indiana Citizens for Reagan, took sharp issue with remarks made at a press conference in Indianapolis April 16 by Donald Cox. chairman of the President Ford committee Nicholas shid. “I am glad that Mr. Cox introduced the issue of leadership into the campaign. Leadership is what this campaign is all about Ronald. Reagan's leadership is a proven fact. When Ronald Reagan was elected governor of California he inherited a 600 million dollar debt. When he left office eight years later the state treasuryshowed a 400 bullion dollar surplus. During these same eight years Governor Reagan funded the bankrupt teachers pension plan. It is common knowledge that Governor Reagan's leadership in the area of welfare resulted in additional funds for the truly needy- by stopping welfare paymerits to welfare ripoff artists and at the same time putting the California w elfare plan on a sound fiscal basis ...” GLENN SULLIVAN came off what he termed “dead center” this week and severely criticized the process which led to the slating of Will Erwin as the Republican party’s “official” candidate to challenge incumbent F oyd Fithian next Nov-ember. Sullivan; said he wanted tb “clear the air" of a number of misconceptions he claims second district voters have been exposed to concemftig ti e events leading to the choice of a single slated candidate in the upcoming primary election. Sullivan jsaid. “Voters in the second district have heard much of the selection process from Mr Erwin since he launched his campaign He has been talking about screening, but in effect he has been referring to slating — and there’s a difference. ” JACK NEW., .candidate for governor, has charged Governor Bowen with [attempting to cover up a scandal in the real estate commission. j New has called upon Bowen to make a full disclosure as to the persons who have been granted state real estate licenses without taking the stare exam as required by law. He also called upon the governor to: release in full the investigation report of the real estate commission! by the Indiana State Police.” I. ' ’ WILL Republican candidate for US Congress, said, "it is time for Congress and the federal government to start unwrapping the red tape that is tying up the American businessman, farmer and citizen.-” ! I , ( He citeßi the IRS and the 1975 federal income tax forms as prime examples of this red tape Erwin pointed out that the cost to the taxpayer for non-essential [ federal paperwork is outrageous and he said there are hidden costs. , NOW COMES a large packet from the campaign office of [ Senator Vance Hartke telling all about Hartke. the person; Hartke, the ( legislator; what he has done for Indiana; the fact Indiana’s senior i senator holds a powerful post; questions and answers; endorsements; 1 information about his family and photos, captions and chroma-slides [ for televison i Hartke was born May 31. 1919 in Stenal tPike county) and ' graduated from the University of Evansville and Indiana university’s [ law school In 1977 he will become the 17th ranking senator He is the ( fifth Indiana Democrat senator elected in the 20th century and the first < Democrat to serve three terms.
