GOP 'hires' a candidate

Wanted: Personable, attractive go-getter to be candidate for major state office. Conservative credentials and a name recognised by hundreds of thousands of people are preferred. Long hours. Much time on the road with a hefty expense account, salary, $45,599. Apply Indiana Republican State Committee. \ NO, INDIANA Republicans really didn’t place the above want ad. But they might well ave in their search for a likely person to neutralize the ballot strength of Democrat Even Bayh, a candidate for secretary of state. The person they found, of course, is Robert 0. Bowen, 33, of Bremen, son of former Gov. Otis R. Bowen. Rob Bowen resigned a judgeship in Marshall County two weeks ago to become the Republican party candidate. Coincendentally, his new employer is the Indiana Republican party. A Between now and next November young Bowen will be a paid member of the Republican committee staff doing the dual duty of running for office and being the Hoosierland eyes and ears of Republican leaders in Indianapolis. The salary Bowen will be paid is the same as that of secretary of state — $46,500. There are also anticipated travel expenses of around $50,000. Because he’ll be employed about nine months, he can expect about $30,000 in salary, “It eased my mind a great bit,” according to Bowen, who said, he had expected during the campaign to live off the early 0 withdrawal of money he has paid into a state judicial pension plan. Evan Bayh, the holder of an equally famous last name as the son of former U.S. Sen. Birch E.

Selected for Mam Street program

Warsaw has been selected as one of 12 communities to participate in Indiana’s “Main Street Program.” The announcement was made by Lt. Governor John Mutz Thursday, May L during a news conference in the Main Street revitalization area, on the corner of Center and Indiana Streets. ” Among the many political and civic leaders present with Mutz were Warsaw mayor Jeff Plank, and Jean Northenor, president of the Warsaw Community Development Corporation. “Warsaw has an impressive track record of downtown revitalization and an organized local development corporation making it well suited to pursue the Indiana Main Street Program. The longevity and success of their program makes it appropriate for us to designate them as a ‘senior partner’”, said Mutz. As a Main Street Partner, the Indiana Department of Commerce will be providing specific technical assistance in marketing, design, and financing for Warsaw’s downtown area. The selection of “partners,” the highest level of participation in the Indiana Main Street Program, was made by the Indiana Main Street Council. Administered by the Indiana Department of Commerce and the Indiana Main Street Council, the program is designed to encourage the development, redevelopment and improvement of downtown areas throughout

Bayh, doesn’t like what the Republicans have done, “but that’s their normal method of operation.” Bayh says he’s continuing to put in 40 hours a week in an Indianapolis law office, which limits his campaigning mostly to evenings and weekends. “It’s personally kind of discouraging,” Bayh said. “I’ve got to hold things down here. He can campaign full-time. “On a public policy level, I don’t know that we should pay candidates to run for office. But the Republicans have displayed that kind of arrogance before. ” Young Bowen’s committee responsibilities will be to conduct workshops for.local candidates and precinct committeemen, assist in preparing the party’s convention platform and be the “communication link” between the state organization and candidates for legislative office, according to state Republican Chairman Gordon Durnil. They are exactly the kinds of things that will put Bowen in daily contact with the local political organizers of what is frequently described as the best political organization in the country. In conversation Durnil is quick to point out that the hiring of candidates is not new, although “I don’t view it that way and neither does Rob.” All four state-wide candidates

the state to make them more attractive for new investments. “The enthusiasm displayed by the program’s participants reflects their desire to improve their community’s quality of life,” said Mutz. “Community planners and leaders realize that today’s industrial prospect is just as concerned about their employees’ living environment as they are about business conditions.” The Indiana Main Street Program is comprised of three tiers of involvement: Partners, Associates and Partners. Placement in the tiers depends upon a variety of factors, including a community’s organizational readiness to implement the proRadio stolen \ Dwight Davis,. Osceola, reported the theft of a Motorola two-way radio to Syracuse Police Monday, May 5, atß:l6 am. The radio, placed in a boat Davis was having stored, was stolen sometime between Nov. E, 1985 and May 1,1986, according to Syracuse Police. The boat, which- was supposed to have been stored at Main Channel Marina, Syracuse, was taken to Smith-Walbridge Camp, East Shore Drive, Syracuse, by Main Channel personnel. However, officials at SmithWalbridge claim that the radio was gone before the boat was taken to its premises.

in 1974 became state committee employees so they could campaigning full time, according to Durnil. The only other option, Durnil said, would have been to find a private business to hire Bowen for a job that he would not have been able to perform while he campaigned “That would have been devious,” Durnil said. “Our responsibility is to finance the best candidates we can find,” Durnil said. “When they agree to run for office, we can’t back away from them. “Rob is a young man basically going from pay check to pay check and he has a family. He couldn’t go all year without a job.” The addition of Bowen to the 1986 campaign roster has changed the complexion of the elections. Republicans could have done nothing smarter than convince the young Bowen to run for the office. The number of Hoosiers who recognize the name Bowen is at least as substantial as those whose minds will be tickled by the Bayh name. Prior to Bowen’s emergence, the primary candidates for the office were a Fort Wayne legislator and an Indianapolis accountant, neither of whom were expected by party leaders to ignite a passion in the voting public. While Republicans were still groping to find a candidate, young Bayh cleared out any would-be challengers. He appeared to have Republicans seriously worried prior to young Bowen’s emergence. That has now changed. Bowen, largely due to his also famous name, can challenged Bayh as no other Republican could have. And now he has a job.

Behind the headlines — The f ree world must close ranks against terrorism

By PHILIP C. CLARK Libya’s Colonel Khadafy is not just an American obsession but a threat to civilized peoples everywhere. The bombing of that West Berlin discotheque in early April demonstrated the insidious nature of Khadafy’s terrorist network. Investigators have confirmed intelligence reports linking the Libyan Embassy in Communist East Berlin to the bomb attack that killed two persons, including an American solider, and injured 230 others. The bomb that exploded aboard a TWA airliner over Greece in April also bore Khadafy’s “foot prints. ” Arab terrorists claiming credit for that attack, in which four Americans died, are known to be part of the infamous Abu Nidal group, sponsored by Libya and Syria. Although attacks on Americans make the biggest headlines in our media, most of the victims are non-Amerieans. Os the 928 perkilled by terrorists last year, 23 were Americans. “So the problem is much more out there than it is here,” according to Robert Oakley, chief of counterterrorism for the State Department. “Only with the cooperation of others governments are we going to be

able to get it under control. It’s not something the United States can do by itself.” That is what the United States has been telfing its allies ever since 1982 when it tried to get them to join in quarantining the Libyan regime. Until the latest terrorist incidents, however, most of the European countries have continued to go easy on Khadafy, mostly because of their dependence on his oil — and also out of fear of his terrorist hit squads. Most European allies have taken steps to tighten security and increase surveillance of violence-prone groups and individuals. Meantime, the International Airline Pilots Association is giving renewed consideration to a worldwide pilots’ boycott against countries found to be supporting terrorism. And there are proposals in Congress to give President Reagan, and future chief executives, a freer hand to fight terrorism minus the superfluous. Congressional constraints that

Also, the White House has been urged to strengthen its Vice Presidential Task Force on Combatting Terrorism, which recently proposed more than 150 specific activities ranging from intelligence gathering to educating the public. Ironically, the terrorists are bolstering the resolve of Europeans who oppose them on economic grounds. Because of recent attacks on airports and other facilities, Americans in growing numbers are cancelling trips abroad, causing heavy losses to Europe’s important tourist industry. Addressing this turn of events, the State Department’s Robert Oakley warns that Americans “cannot allow the terrorists to force us into a fortress America. We have too many thins to do abroad. We have national interests abroad. We should not be scared off by the terrorists. ” I (Distributed by America’s Future, Inc., New Rochelle, N.Y.)
