More-land was $2,740 short of the $5,860 she needed to send the Rainbow Players, 13 mildly handicapped Indianapolis youngsters, to represent Indiana at the National Very Special Arts Festival in Washington May 23 26. An April 20 column here about her search for funds noted that $8 million worth of Indianapolis Colts tickets had been ordered that week, and yesterday was the deadline for raising the travel money. "We haven't received all of the funds but we have 'the check's on its way' promises from some very reputable corporations and companies. We feel very comfortable now. Every day's mail brings in another $50 or so," said Mrs.

Moreland, director of Arts Unlimiting, an organization that seeks' to expand opportunities for handicapped youngsters. "We planned the trip on a gut level, minimum budget to survive. Now we'll have enough money not to do McDonald's twice -a day. We have enough that each child will have a little spending money to buy a personal souvenir." The Indianapolis youngsters, who attend Nora School, have been paired with a group of handicapped youngsters from France at the festival. The Rainbow Players have been asked to perform their "Bremen Town Musicians" puppet play at the festival.

They also will have lunch on the White House lawn and visit the Washington Zoo. Mrs. Moreland has high praise for "the complete community," but "the most rewarding joy has been to see the support of all of Nora School's parents, where most of the children are not handicapped." and the Nora area service organizations and By DAVID MANNWEILER Speaking of money Item: John Nelson, music director and conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, earned $100,375 from the ISO last year. Who says? The Milwaukee Journal says, using information the ISO supplied to the Internal Revenue Service. The Journal included Nelson's salary in a copyright story about symphonies that have complied or have not complied with an IRS requirement that tax-exempt, orchestras must report their top salaries to keep their tax-exempt status.

The Journal found the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington had not reported the salary of its music director, Mstislav Rostropovich. The Boston Symphony failed to report the salary of Seiji Ozawa and the Cleveland Orchestra failed to post the salary of Lorin Maazel, its former music director. The story showed a wide range in symphony and orchestra salaries. Carlo Maria Giulini, former director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, had $601,270 in salary in fiscal 1982, according to IRS records open to the public. Zubin Mehta of the New York Philharmonic pulled down $483,850 in the same year.

Other salaries noted in story were: Sir Georg Solti, Chicago Symphony, $333,583 in 1983. Edo de Waart, San Francisco Symphony, $356,216 in 1983. Neville Marriner, Minneapolis Symphony, $255,500 in 1983. Eugene Ormandy, conductor emeritus of the Philadelphia Orchestra, $380,820. Leonard Slatkin, St.

Louis Symphony, $180,000 in 1982. Michael Gielen, Cincinnati Symphony, $75,500 in 1982. Lukas Foss, Milwaukee Symphony, $96,000 in 1983. David Zinman, Rochester (N. Symphony, $82,500 in 1982.

City Planners Urged To Restudy 'Blighted' Plot By PAUL BIRD A reorganization of the Indiana State Police will return "local" control to 17 district posts around the state and provide enforcement to communities with narcotics and other crime problems, The News learned today. "One thing we have done is return the narcotics officers assignment to the various, districts around the state under the control of the post commander," said ISP Col. James "Rex" Dillman.

Dillman said tighter control of the activities of detectives and case management will be implemented through strict supervision and checks by officers at headquarters in Indianapolis. This marks the first major change in the department's structure in 10 years. "Detectives time spent on cases will be cross-checked with their daily activity reports," Dillman said. Sources within the ISP said Dillman, Supt. John Shettle and Maj.

John Aikman have been unhappy with the way detectives spend their time and prepare case reports. The sources said some detectives claimed they were working theft rings or other criminal activity and would spend dozens of hours on those investigations. After spending hundreds of dollars and man hours on the investigations, however, the detectives would claim their investigations failed to develop enough evidence or information to open an active case. Shettle said this type case development would stop under the new structure and detectives will now have an open case before long hours are spent on an investigation. The state's chief lawman said he did not know of any detective who lied on his daily activity reports, but "this case management will more closely control detectives work hours." Dillman said the change is intended to let post commanders assign narcotics ivnestigators, through a supervisor sergeant, to community problems rather than have those assignments decided at headquarters in the State Office Building here.

10 Fewer Than Necessary It was revealed by Dillman that the ISP narcotics section has been operating with 10" fewer men than necessary. He said Shettle ordered the number of narcotics investigators raised at once to 28 statewide. The distribution of narcotics investigators will be based on demands for service, Dillman said. Some district commanders have complained that headquarters personnel were not sensitive to community problems and that requests for undercover narcotics investigators were ignored by the former head of ISP narcotics, Lt. Charles Williams.

Williams was removed as narcotics section commander by Shettle last fall and reassigned as a post commander. On March 30, Williams was again reassigned to a position in ISP headquarters. The investigations overhaul also includes doubling the strength of a special diversionary investigation unit to six officers. The unit probes complaints against drug stores, doctors and other legitimate sources of drugs. Five investigators, spaced around the state with two coordinating officers at ISP headquarters, will coordinate vehicle theft investigations concentrating on rings and scams involving stolen vehicles.

The City-County Council has asked the Metropolitan Development Commission to reconsider a controversial urban renewal plan that calls for obtaining land near the Convention Center for a hotel. In other business, the council postponed action again on the latest proposal to name an Indianapolis street or highway in honor of Martin Luther King. Recommended by the council metropolitan development committee, a resolution adopted by a voice vote calls on the commission to restudy its previous action in declaring a large area near the convention center as "blighted." Under the plan, the city has indicated it intends to acquire the block bounded by Washington, Sen-, ate, Missouri and Maryland as the site for a 600-room hotel. Property owners in the area and the Indianapolis Taxpayers Association have protested the plan would require the demolition of stable buildings for the benefit of the hotel developer. They have suggested the city consider building the hotel on the block just south of Washington between Capitol and Senate, which is now owned by the Capital Improvement Board and used for streeflevel parking.

In addition, the council resolution requests the commission to: Consider adopting better notice procedures for property owners within areas to be declared renewal projects. Seek state legislation to remove the need for declaring areas as "blighted" in order to establish redevelopment projects. Restudy whether it is necessary to include some of the properties south of the, Hoosier Dome in the Tenewal area. Robert Samuelson, commission president, said he feels the recommendations are "reason able" and that he will present them to the commission for consideration. The latest plan to name sections of three Northside streets for King was delayed until the May 21 council meeting at the request of Borst, who said some residents and businesses along the streets had filed complaints about the proposal.

Glenn Howard, the main sponsor of the proposal to honor the slain civil rights leader, agreed that additional time is needed to come up with a possible alternative. He said he will drop the idea of using any part of Sutherland Avenue for the renaming because he has learned it was named for a local family, which still has some members living in the city. In other action, the council endorsed a recent agreement between city officials and representatives of the Marion County Liquor Board and the Indiana Alcoholic Beverage Commission that is aimed at preventing liquor licenses from being issued before zoning clearances are obtained. Under a revised system, applicants for new liquor permits will be required to show if the property in question has the proper zoning clasification. Any licenses approved by the state board for sites not properly zoned will be held in escrow until an official zoning clearance is received from the city.

Council member Beulaji Coughenour, sponsor of the city's controversial antipornography ordinance, failed last night to introduce an amendment to the ordinance which she said she had considered bringing to the council. She earlier said she wouldn't bring the amendment to the council floor unless city attorneys defending the ordinance in Federal Court felt a revision was necessary.

In 1969, he received an award from the American Political Science Association for his series on Florida's new constitution; He then spent six years with the Miami Herald and was an assistant city editor for nearly three years.

In 1975, he was named executive editor of the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph Si News and remained there until moving to Norfolk. Frank Caperton, executive editor of the Virginian Pilot and the Ledger-Star in Norfolk, yesterday was named managing editor of The News. He succeeds Wendell Phillippi, who retired April 1. Caperton, 47, had been with the Norfolk newspapers since 1978 and managed a news staff of 220. While there, the Pilot won the E.W.

A native of West Virginia, Caper-ton's first newspaper job was as a reporter on the Richmond (Va.) News Leader. In 1965, he joined the St Petersburg Times and handled a of newcomers is perhaps the best ever. Without downgrading the skill of the performers, McCluskey said he believes their outstanding performance is because of excellent equipment. Already the freshmen have served notice with Mi ael Andretti, 21, and Roberto Guerrero, 25, practicing at about 207 mph.

Also among those to be counted are such distinguished youngsters as Bobby Rahal, 31; Danny Sullivan, 34; Canadian Jacques Villeneuve, 30; 500 veteran Pan-cho Carter, 33, and AI Unser 22. But what is this? Mario Andretti shattering records like a dinner plate, unofficially of course, at 210 mph? Andretti is bucking the tide of British built March 84C chassis with a British-built Lola. In his corner are Eric Broadley. who created the car, and Tony Cicale and Nigel Bennett who have developed it under the eye of Carl Haas, the Red Auerbach of racing (he smokes big cigars and likes a winner). Only three of the last 22 races were won from beyond the second row, and six of them were taken from the pole.

Now everybody knows the Speedway is in transition and the old guard is really the Over the Hill Gang. Nevertheless, if anyone stuck a knife to your throat and asked for one name as the best prospect to take this year's Speedway pot of gold, what would you say? I'd say, "You are only as old as you feel. I'll take the Andretti kid Mario." By BILL PITTMAN The Newt Indiana-Bloomington Bureau BLOOMINGTON. Ind. It is as plain as the nose on your face: The Speedway is in transition.

Everybody says so. There are seven former winners of the 500 at the track, and five of them are at least 40. You can count them: A. J. Foyt.

49; Gordon Johncock, 47; Johnny Rutherford, 46: Al Unser, 45, and Mario Andretti, 40. Among them are 13 victories. Together they have 100 years of experience at the Speedway. But what is experience worth when, as Johncock said this week, it is so easy to travel 200 mph around the 2 '4-mile oval. "It is so easy, compared to what we were doing last year.

You just stick your foot in it and steer," the two time winner said. The old guard's victories extend over the 21 years from Foyt's first triumph in 1961 to Johncock's epic battle with Rick Mears, 29. in 1982. The young Turks, led by Mears, who won in 1979, and last year's winner. Tom Sneva, 35.

have sharpened their scimitars and are in hot pursuit. Remember it was Sneva who in 1977 first flirted with ultimate speed in a 200 mph lap, and it' was Mears who pushed the barrier beyond 207. Last year, Teo Fabi, 29. new to the Speedway, found the fast track and punched a hole in the record book at more than 208 mph.
