THE BATTALION MONDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1979 Page 9 -■ bounty drains treasury y paying weekly payroll Hearing set over married 13-year-old United Press International TULSA, Okla. — A judge has set a hearing for Tuesday on the marriage of a 13-year-old Gypsy girl who eloped with a 16-year- old boy in July. District Judge Jay Dalton set the hearing Friday after issuing a bench warrant for the girl’s ar rest. The girl, Dorothy Uwanawich, failed to appear at a hearing in Dalton’s court. Dalton also asked that con tempt citations be prepared against the girl’s in-laws and grandfather. “They only way we re going to get to the bottom of this is with a full-blown jury trial,’ Dalton said before issuing the warrant and ordering the contempt citations. At an earlier hearing, Dalton ordered the marriage ended, say ing a 13-year-old girl cannot be married in Oklahoma unless she is pregnant. He sent her to Chicago to live with her grand parents. But the couple went to Louis ville, Ky., and remarried about a month later.

But officials who engineered Friday’s fiscal finish in I nation’s third-largest county say they don’t know [ether they will be able to come up with the $2.3 [lion needed to pay employees next week. But Richard Manning, chairman of the county board [commissioners, refused to say the county was joke.” He said money might come in from other Irces in time to issue next week’s checks to 4,500 Jployees. pi guess I have to say I can’t simplify it to that ex it,” he said. “We are short of the necessary cash to e payments. But we have credit outstanding to the e of Michigan and to the federal government and as n as they pay their bills we will be able to conduct business in a reasonable fashion.” Friday’s developments marked the latest chapter in ongoing fiscal dilemma shrouding the county, ivhich faces at least a $19.5 million deficit and has been lable. jrarted in efforts to scrape up additional cash.

County officials, noting they only had $332,000 on hand, questioned Dunn’s order as “of no legal conse quence” but said they intended to abide by it. And with the available funds tied up, the county effectively has no cash left, leaving next week’s payroll in doubt. “As to next week’s payroll, I can’t say,’’ Manning said. “I’m hopeful but I can t say with absolute cer tainty. We won’t know that until such funds as we re able to collect trickle in. We do not have it as of this moment. Manning said he expected county services — includ ing the courts — to continue unaffected at least for now. The county, which has been running in the red for the last three years, has been rebuffed repeatedly in its attempts to obtain additional operating funds. The state Municipal Finance Commission has re jected county requests to sell $22 million in tax antici pation notes and release $5.4 million in impounded county taxes. And Gov. William G. Milliken has said he will block all special state aid until the cash-starved county over hauls its government operations.

He also recommended the com mission order Bristol-Myers to dis close in all future advertising that Bufferin, Excedrin and Excedrin P.M. contain aspirin, saying a “sub stantial” number of consumers do not realize this. And he found that while Excedrin contains a combination of pain re lievers, it actually possesses “a smaller amount of proven analgesic ingredients than a five-grain aspirin tablet.” Bristol-Myers said its claims that the pain relievers “are superior to other products are based on clinical and scientific studies and fully com ply with the commission’s reason able basis requirement.” A year ago a law judge issued an order similar to Hyun’s against American Home Products Corp., maker of Anacin and Arthritis Pain Formula. That case also has been appealed to the commission.
