Niehoff, upon questioning, said the

for each $1,000 of the bond issue. If
the issue would not be approved by
voters, the firm would get only "out

provide the half million doll~rs.
The board agreed to study the
matter further and probably wiU
take action at the Feb. 9 meeting
which would give it lime to process
the necessary resolution towards
putting one issue or the other before
the voters at the June election.
Meigs CoWJty Auditor Howard
Frank and Prosecuting Attorney
Frederick Crow Ill met with the
board last night.
During the discussion, it was
brought out that the board would
have to certify the bond issue to the
county auditor at least 110 days
before an election and to the board of
elections at least 90 days before an
election. Then the State Department
of Education !Vould be contacted for
permission to place the issue before
voters and retain the funds locally.
Niehoff said h~ would anticipate
no problem with the State Depart·

that the board could cancel the election up to one &lt;lay before the elecllon

last night-the apparent victim of a
blow, or blows, with a sharp, heavy
instrument that struck the face ,
neck and upper chest.

Charlie Miller, 52.
Co-habitant MiUer was questioned
by investigators throughout the
night and was being held this IDorDing in coMecilon with the aUeged
homicide. No charges bad been filed
as of this morning.
Upon their arrival at the scene,
Gallia deputies discovered Miller
leaning over the body. Woods and
her husband, J. Hollis Woods, both of
Northup-Patriot Rd., told officers
that they, along with her son, bad
discovered the body when they
arrived at the trailer shortly before$
p.m.
Miller, they said, had come to
their home, located approximately
one mile from the murder scene, on
foot and bad requested a ride to his
mobile home residence.

Richards was pronounced dead at
the scene by Gailia County Coroner
Dr. Donald R. Warehime at approximately 6 p.m. Dr. Warehime
told investigators the death bad apparently occurred four-to-five hours
prior to the time orpronouncement.
Sheriff James M. Montgomery

ment, along with Prosecuting At·
torney Joseph L. Cain, examined the
scene and, were joined by In·
vestigator Herman Henry of the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation
(Btl), London, 0 ., who arrived at
the Taylor Road residence at 8:30
p.m.
The bod)' was fOWJd in the living
room of the trailer, lying face-up,
just inside the entrance door. A pair
of blood soaked trousers were lying
on the floor near the victim.

ter and table tops. A bed located in a
rear bedroom was saturated with
·

the substance. The wash basin in the
bathrO&lt;m was filled with bloody
water. A pile of blood-drenched
clothing lay on a living room chair.
The body was removed from the
scene late Monday and was awaiting

the alleged homicide. He was transferred at 5:30 a.m., today, to the

Meigs County Ja11, where he is being
held In "protecilve custody" , according to the Galli&amp; department's
booking records.
Housing in the Meigs facUlty was
necessitated due to the incapacitycaused by last Thursday's cour·
thouse fire-of the Gallia jail to hold

Sheriff Department plans to search the area surrounding the murder
scene, Taylor Rd., SR T/5, and Northup-Patriot Road were delayed due
to the heavy overnight snow fall.

The impact of the news fran
Detroit is easier to understand.
Every American old enough to vote
last Nov. 4 grew up with the
unquestioned assumption the
automobile industry symbolized the
United States' standing as the
world's . pre-eminent economic
power.
nus was the country that gave the
world the assembly line, the Model·
T and General Motors. How many
Americans cited with pride at one
tithe or another the fact that GM's
output exceeded the gross national
product of most nations?
With no notice, the American
automotive giants suddmly began
looking more like dinosaurs.
Japanese competitors began grabbing increasing shares of the U.S.
market.
What looked like a $-15 billion
deficit last June, now is projected by
Reagan people as doser to $60
billion, an Increase possibly
aggravated by an election-year tendency by the incumbent economists
to forecast the lowest likely deficit
during the campaign.
Confronted with the news of the
bigger deficit, Reagan told reporters
that the economy has "been
deteriorating very badly and I think
it's a very serious situstion."
The president-i!lect said it would

Defense Department. But that was

WASIDNGTON (AP) ~ Two
recent events tell a good deal about
the economic state of the union as
America awaits Ronald Reagan's
presidency.
A stock analyst who advised his
clients to sell was credited with
triggering a record trading volume
on the New York Stock Exchange
and a sharp drop in the Dow Jones
Industrial Average.
The same day, American
automobile manufacturers confinned that 1980 was a dismal sales
year during which they lost additional ground to foreign competitors.
Rounding out the day was word
that once again the economists bad
underestimated the size of the
deficit in the current federal budget.
AU in all, a dismal day symptomatic ri the economic and
psychological climate confronting
Reagan as he prepares to move into
the White House.
The events on Wall S~t and in
Detroit seemed to leU something
about the national mood and how it
got where it is.
A market analyst named Joseph
Grallville sent his clients a telegram
Tuesday night advising them to ''sell
the market, sell everything."
The neXt day, volume on the New
v'ork Stock Eltchange was a record
92.9 million shares and the Dow Industrials fell 23.00 points. Gran·
ville's telegram was cited as the
cause.
If that is true, Granville rates

Letter to the Editor
-----Mother upset----Dear Editor:
I am writing about this so.called
"good school system," the Meigs
Local Schools. I don't think tlwt it ia
a very good school when they change
the time tlwt they are bringing the
children borrie and they don't notify
the parents, or at least the parents of
the yOWJger children.
A good elUlJilple of this was
Tuesday (January 6) when they
decided to let school out earlier
because of a tittle snow. My !On is in
kindergarten; be is usually ·home
around 11:20; I cannot see the place
or the road where be is dropped off,
so I have to go and meet him. Thank
goodness, I bad a car that day
because of the cold weather and
because of my two-year old which I
bad to take with me. We sat there for
over half an hour waiting for him to
get home. I bad the radio on but I did
not hear anything about him being
late. Plus I'm sure not aU the parents were listening to the.radio just to
fil)d out if the school officials had
decided to let out early. I got so
worried that I went back borne and
called the school. They told me that
be "was getting on the bus then. So we
"Went back down there to walt some
more. They finally brought him
home about 12: 20, an hour after the
usual time.
Imagine what it would have been
like if I didn't have a car that day,
my little boy standing out there in
the cold for an hour waiting for a
school bus. I believe the least they
could do waa to call.
I don't think much of a school
system when they let a parent worry
like that I didn't know what to do,
stay borne and he close to the phone
In case something had happened to
him, or to be down to the road to
make sure he got home safe after the
bus left him on the road.

Is it being responsible leaving a ·
five-year old on a road all by himself
unsupervised? In my opinion, it is
not responsible but Irresponsible.
I honestly feel sorry for the
children -hose parents are gone
through the day and for the children
who usually have a parent home, but
In a situation as it iV8S Tuesday,
parents weren't told.
We should think about the people
that are running this school system.
Would you reaUy want to leave our
children in the hands of pe()ple who
don't care what happens to them? If
not, we should do more than just
think about these people, we should
get responsible people instead. It's
really not the teacherS' or the bus
drive!'ll' fault. They are doing what
they are told to do; it's the ones over
them.
I've tried to get the bus to come up
our road to get my son, but they just
keep telling me one excuse after
another. What they are really telling
me is they don'\ give a darn. They
dOn't care about your child or his
safety at aU! - Adell White, 41469

To deny an appointment would
take more than your average skeleton
administration. There have been
mid-term Cabinet rejections, but
only eight of those.
Even a Democratic Senate almost
inevitably would have approved the
Reagan team intact. Democrats ran

first Cabinet was installed. With a
Republican majority in the Senate,

Democrats see limited GOP control
COLUMBUS, Ohio lAP) Democrats are betting that the
Republican takeover of the Ohio
Senate wiU be short-lived.
In particular, they are planning
now for 1982, when the districts of
senators and House members will
have undergone an overhaul by the
Democrat-controlled state Apportionment Board.
The five-member board will meet
later this yesr to reshape distrlcts'to
accommodate population shifts
reflected by the 1980 U.S. Census.
Districts must be as nearly equal
in population as possible, but boundaries can be manipulated to one
party's advantage through the timeworn practice known as gerrymandering.
Democrats won 3-2 control of the
board In 19'18 when Secretary of

State Anthony J . Celebrezze Jr.
ousted the veteran Ted W. Brown, a
Republican, from the secretary of
state's office.
Besides the secretary of state, the
board consists of Auditor Thomas E.
Ferguson, a Democrat, Republican
Gov. James A. Rhodes, and one
member of each party from the
l.A!gislature.
House Speaker Vernal G. Riffe
Jr., 0-New Boston, ·and Senate"
President Paul E. Gillmor, R-Port
Clinton, or their designees, will be
the legislative members.
Ohio gained about 100,000 in
population from the 1970 census, and
is listed with 10,797,419 residents in
the latest head count.
This probably means that the
number of lawmakers, 99 HoUBe

the same.
But each senator would represent
about 325,000 constituents, and each
House member, about 108,1100, up
3,000 and 1,000 respectively.
Democrats currently control the
House 56-43, but Republicans reversed what had been an 16-15
Democratic senate edge in the Nov.
4 elections.
Democrats have another ·im·
portant advantage, besides their
control of the apportionment board.
Without much fanfare, they increased their hold on the Ohio .
Supreme Court from 4-3 to 5-2 in the
election.
This is Important because any
legal challenge Republicans might .
decide to mount to .the Democratic
apportionment plan would wind up
before the high court.

It would he expected to strike

down any such challenge, 4esplte
the myth that may he lingeririg In;
some quartel'll that the court and Its
decisions are non-partisan.
But the Republicans' hopes are
still alive.
They are circulating petitions to
place on the fall ballot a proposal under which the l.A!gislature and members of Congress would run from
districts established through pure
computer mathematics, they say.
In addition, they showed last fall
that It Is not Impossible to win in a
Democrat-drawn district. In
Cleveland, for instance, Republican
Ben M. Skall defeated the entrenched Anthony 0 . Calabrese in
the 22nd Senate District, where
Democrats have a 3-1 voter
registration edge.

OCC urges probe of nuke management
Ohio Consumers' Counsel William
SpraUey wants the Public Utilities
Commission of Ohio to order an
audit aimed at examining
management of the Davis-Besse
nuclear power plant.
Officials of Ohio's only nuclear
plant say it is watched closely
enough by federal regulators, that
its problems are the same as other
nuclear plants and express confidence In its operation.
Since the plant went Into service In
August 1977, It has been operating
on-line 487 days and has been out of
service for 674 days.
·
"I think the commission ought to
launch a separate investigation (of
plant management)," Spratley said.
"I think 'It needs an ·independent,
outside look."
Spratley said the three-week shutdown announced Tuesday of the f700
million power station is one more indication of the plant's operation.
Davis-Besse is owned jolnUy by
Toledo Edison iJnd the Cleveland
-Electric Illwninating Co.
Spratley said the utilities should

U.S. provided 40 percent
of world's cOtton last year
WASHINGTON (AP) - A ,new
review by the Agriculture Department shows that U.S. cotton exports
last yellr accounted.for about 49 per·
cent of all the world's cotton trade.
Exports by the world's leading
producing countries were a record of
nearly 22.7 mUllon bales in 197~,
up from 19.6 mUilon the previous
year.
Of that amount, U.S. exports ac-

counted for more than 9.2 mUilon
bales, the most shipped to foreign
buyers since 1926-27, the department's Foreign Agricultural Service
says in a year-end review. That was
up from about 6.2 million bales in
1978-79.

''Other countries sharing ln the expanded trade include P•kistan, India, Argentina, Colombia and
Egypt," the report said.

But the United States was the
leading exporter by far, according to
the figures. The Soviet Union was a
distant second with exports of 3.7
million bales. ·
" In spite of a record 1979 cotton
crop, the USSR cotton prices were
not competitive during most of 1979110 " the report said. "Shipments

A-Bangkok most prevalent flu this winter
· NEW YORK (AP) - Besides the
obvious threats ofslippery ice or fire
from a ·f~ulty heater the bitterly
cold temperatures 'that spread
across the country lately can be a
direct assault on a person's physical
well-being, doctors say.
It's easier for the flu to get around
when people are crowding together
for warmth, and in some. cases,
shoveling snow can trigger a heart
attack.

invariably JIUluary and February.
It's just a less healthy time of year

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - The
state Controlling Board was to heat
more requests from agency heads
today for shsres of an $8 million fund
created by the Legislature to
,prevent job layoffs.
But the problem faced by the
seven-member board, which began
pfoceedings Monday, was thst
reqll'eSts totaled more than what was
in the fund.
Meanwhile, other money-pinched
departments made a pitch for the
comparatively small balance about fl'l1,000 - left in the state's
ail-purposes emergency fund, earmarked for weather and other
calamities.
The board convened Monday un·
der Republican control, 4-3, for the
first time since 1973. But represen·
tatives of GOP Gov. James A.
Rhodes' administration didn't find
the atmosphere Improved.
The new GOP members asked
tough questions and voted against
some administration requests
without hesitation.
· Six legislators and a representative of Rhodes' office constitute
the board, which generally acts as a
spending watchdog for the
Legislature.
The panel earlier gave the Department of Mental Health $1.6 million of
the $8 million, reducing the fund to
$6.4 million, slightly less than Monday's batch of requests. But those
amounts requested from the all·
purposes emergency fund totaiecf
more than $3 million, or more than
four times as much as the fund's

NEW YORK - The government of Iran filed suit in federal court
late Tuesday in an effort to trace the wealth of the late shah of Iran,
estimated at $35 billion, Iran 's U.S. lawyer said.
The attorney, Paul O'Dwyer, said the suit also sought punitive
damages of $36 billion and whatever else the courts deemed appropriate.
The suit named 65 persons, Iranian and Americ~n, including the
wife of Shah Mohanunad Reza Pahiavi, his sister Ashraf Pahlavi,
other relatives and the estate of the monarch who was overthrown in
early 1979.

Chairman Stanley J. Aronoff, RCincinnati, a board member, indicated it would be approved.
Department officials told the

The Legislature, which tried last

"strangest development" he has

yesterday that the cause of death in
an alleged Monday homicide was not
blows from a shsrp, heavy objectsuch as an ax or hatchet-as

death occurred as the result of a
single shotgun blast to the head.

Taylor Road residence, just off SR

At that time, authorities
speculated that deep gashes in the
face, neck and upper chest had been
caused by a blow, or blows, from a
sharp, heavy instrument.
Authorities speculated the instrument of death was an ax, hatchet or meat-cleaver.

Agency.

the homicide specialist from the
Bureau of Criminal Investigation
(BCI)-believed the physical evidence indicated a weapon, such as a hatchet, was the cause of death," a
department spokesman said
Tuesday evening.
According to preliminary autopsy
infonnation, the shotgWJ blast
manifested itself in the form of deep,
clean wounds when gas press~re
from the point-blank shot built up inside the skull causing it to explode.
As described in the preliminary
autopsy report, the "explosion" split
the skull and facial tissue leaving
deep straight wounds to the head,
neck and upper chest.
"It was not like any shotgun
wound-or for that matter, any gun
wuund-I have ever seen,'' a sheriff's

investigator said.
Sheriff's office personnel combed
the area surrounding the Taylor

Road mobile home throughout the
early afternoon and evening yesterday seeking the weapon used in the
alleged homicide.
Deputies examined an outbuilding
at the residence and searched
through fields and a wooded area
near the the Taylor Road mobile
home.
In a related matter, Charlie
Miller, 52, who c~habited the trailer
with· Richards, was released from
custody Tuesday evening.
Miller had been questioned immediately following the discovery of
the death; and, was held throughout
the next day, at his request, on
"protective custody."
Sheriff's investigators were joined
this morning by Herman Henry of
the BCI, London, o.; as the investigation into the presumed
hornicide continues.
