In a morning news conference in Republican state headquarters, the 47-year-old Melchert became the third candidate to formally announce for the nomination in the 6th, the most Republican of the new districts created by the GOP-controlled 1981 Legislature.

The Republican vote in the new district on the average, was 64.8 percent in the 1976-78 80 elections. In a statement read to reporters today. Melchert said: "I am the only candidate, Republican or Democrat, who has served local, state and Federal government, the only candidate who has spent more than 10 years of his life preparing for the challenge of serving as your congressman and today, I am asking for that opportunity." Already in the field for the nomination in the 6th are Sen. Dan Burton, Indianapolis, and attorney John Price, Carmel. William Frazier, Muncie, three times an unsuccessful nominee in the old 10th District, has said he will announce next month and a possible Supports Reagan Programs Melchert fifth entrant is Steve Nation, Nobles-ville, Hamilton County prosecutor.

Melchert said he was committed to support of President Reagan's economic and tax programs and that a Republican U.S. House of Representatives, working with an already Republican Senate, could help in that task. The U.S. House is Democratic, and has been since January 1955. Asked about the predictions last week by Prof.

James Tobin of Yale, who has just won the Nobel Prize for his work in economics, that the Reagan program will not work and will make the rich richer and the poor poorer, Melchert said, "It is too soon to say that. We have to give the President's programs a chance to work." Melchert, who served as state chairman from July 1977 to last month, was administrative assistant to Mayor William Hudnut when the latter served in Congress 1973-75, and also served as chief of staff and deputy mayor to Hudnut before becoming Republican state chairman. Melchert said he had discussed being slated with Marion County Republican state chairman John Sweezy, but did not know what would result from this. Melchert has already been endorsed by Madison County chairman Sen. James Abraham and much of the Madison County organizaton.

Abraham had considered running for the nomination in the 6th, but decided last month not to do so and endorsed Melchert Apartment Fire Fire broke out in the furnace room of the Stuyvesant Apartments, 3340 N.
