"Each of us considers the other a friend." Saturday's slating probably' will call a halt to the legislative' careerof one of those two dates. Each said it is unlikely he would run for the seat in the May primary election if he is not slated. 1 The effect of slating on the other two races, however, is less clear. Keeler said he would not compete if he is not slated. Nelson however, declined to comment.

Jones did not rule out a pii mary fight if he does not win the party's endorsement. Party members traced oppos- tion to Jones to his refusal las year to conform to the wishes of-House Republican leadership on redistricting and other issues. While pitched battles are un-" der way for three of the House, seats, some GOP House incumbents will face little or no opposition In Saturday's slating. Reps. Paul Mannweiler, Brian Bosma.

Jack Cottey and Michael Young are all unopposed. Kep. Joyce Brinkman is con sidered the favorite over her opponent, Don Grable, a represen-' tative for the Indiana State' Teachers Association. One non-incumbent, David Frizzell, faces no opposition for an open seat left vacant by the retirement of Rep. L.

Keith By JOE FAHY The Indianapolis News Painful battles spawned by last year's General Assembly will emerge Saturday when the Marion County Republican organization meets to decide its preferred candidates for the Indiana House. Rep. David Jones will try to stave off a spirited challenge linked, in part, to his endorsement last year of a redistricting plan forged by House Democrats, who hold a majority In the chamber. That plan, adopted after a record 5 months of deliberations, also placed some GOP House Incumbents in the same districts. As a result.

Republican precinct committeemen, ward chairmen and vice chairmen also will have the difficult task Saturday of choosing between four incumbents vying for two House seats. One contest on the South-eastside pits Rep. George Schmid against Rep. Lawrence Buell. In another slating contest on the Northside, Rep.

John Keeler faces Rep. Donald Nelson. A decision in the Keeler-Nel-son race is complicated by a third contender, attorney C. Russell Cox. Party Insiders say all three battles are too close to call.

Some observers, however, believe Buell and Nelson may have an edge. In the race for Jones' seat, Robert Cockrum, former president of the Decatur school board, appears to be the top challenger. The other contenders are Linden Swift, a data processing worker for the state Department of Correction, and Robert Behning, owner of Berkshire J. B.

Robert Wood, Eastern Hancock Junior-Senior High School principal, pleaded guilty Thursday to drunken driving and was given a suspended Jail sentence. Hancock County Court Judge Richard Culver suspended 364 days of a one-year sentence and placed Wood on probation for a year. He had served one day in Hancock County Jail. Wood, 46, was arrested Jan. 19 on a charge of driving while intoxicated.

His blood-alcohol level measured .341 percent, more than three times the legal limit, after his vehicle collided with another car on U.S. 40 near County Road 525 West, according to police reports. Culver also fined Wood $613 and ordered him to reimburse the other driver for damage to her vehicle. Wood's operator's license was suspended 30 days, and he will be limited to driving to and from work for six months. Wood also will be evaluated by the Hancock County Alcohol and Drug Abuse program.

Wood was suspended with pay from his job as principal Jan. 22. The Eastern Hancock School Board extended that suspension Monday until its next meeting Feb. 10. Principal support Many patrons attended Monday's school board meeting to show support for the principal.

Although most said they don't condone drunken driving, they asked the board to looTc at Wood's Job performance. Some described him as a "people principal." Some parents, however, said what he did should not be tolerated. Police said Wood's vehicle hit a car driven by Wilma F. McDonald, 61. Rushville.

His car then left the road, hit a tree and ended up in a field. IPS: Graduation goal set Mayor: Taxes stifle our ability to compete Continued from CI "If we have a school that no one elects to go to, we have a problem. It will be addressed by a critical assessment of that school," he said. The proposal most parents seemed concerned about involved the conversion of Junior high schools to middle schools. Of about 20 parents asking questions at the meeting at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, many expressed concerns about sending sixth-graders to school with older students and the possibility that an elementary or high school might be closed.

Gilbert said junior high schools are ill-equipped to handle the emotional and physical needs of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders. "When you look at their test scores, they fall off the map when they get to Junior high school," Gilbert said. Gilbert also said many ele Friday Newkirk announcement prompts speculation By JOE FAHY The Indianapolis News State Rep. Frank Newkirk's decision to seek a judicial seat in his home county has left some Republicans wondering if he might have won a race for attorney general. The Salem Republican, who became well known for switching political parties and seeking restrictions on abortion, announced Thursday that he would not seek re-election to the House seat he has held since 1984.

Instead, he plans to be a candidate for Judge of the Washington County Superior Court. Before his announcement, Newkirk had expressed interest in running for attorney general and also for a state senate seat. DEALERS INSTITUTIONAL AGENTS WELCOME! Guaranteed Free Layaway or Immediate Delivery Available "We're sorry about his deci-; sion, because we like Frank," said Republican aide Roger Schmelzer. "I think he could, have been the next attorney general." William Schreiber, an aide to House Speaker Michael D-Boonville, agreed Newkirk' might have been a viable candidate for the office. But Ann DeLaney, executive director of the Indiana Democratic Party, questioned whether Newkirk's defection from the Democratic ranks in 1990 might have hurt his chances as a candidate for statewide office.

The staff either adopted or recommended adoption of most of the 79 proposals, which ranged from reducing Janitorial staff by attrition to conserving energy.

Gilbert said IPS would hire an administrator to implement the strategies, with the salary being funded by outside sources. A billion dollars recommended by the Chamber for improvements to streets, parks and sewers. Goldsmith also announced he will form two other panels: One to study ways to substitute government user fees for taxes. Another to consider opportunities for bolstering small businesses, particularly in the deregulation of certain government services, such as permitting. The mayor.

Excessive taxes stifle the city's ability to compete for new development and a better life for families, he said. "We're In a competitive environment, not just state to state, but county to county," Goldsmith said. "We need to create income, we need to create wealth, we need to create opportunity." Goldsmith's speech was well-received by City-County Council members in attendance and by members of the Chamber, who welcomed his call for partnership in the coming years. "I think all of his Initiatives were positive," said John Myr-land, executive director of the Chamber.

"The speech set a real good tone for a process that's going to involve a lot of people, many of whom were in this room today."
