SOUTHERN INDIANA DEATHS gUkins may sue to get memo on bus contract By LIVINGSTON TAYLOR Couritr-Journal Staff Writtr FRANKFORT, Ky. State Auditor George Atkins indicated yesterday that he will go to court if necessary to get a copy of a memo being withheld by the state Finance Department.

The memo relates to a bid by Lester Motors Inc. of Central City on a state school-bus chassis contract. It was written on Jan. 24, 1978, by Gary M. Smith, a Finance Department attorney, to Russell McClure, then secretary of the department.

Atkins' office last week asked the Finance Department for all documents related to the contract. Smith sent the auditor the documents, except for the Jan. 24 memo. KThe1 memo "may be considered a privileged communication which this office would not be at liberty to release," Smith wrote. Atkins told Smith in a letter yesterday the auditor's office "intends to exercise Its full authority under Kentucky 'revised statutes to obtain the document in question." Atkins asked Smith to reconsider and irt nmtriAa Mia maffln Ktr tnmnrrfttv "eft 'that we may avoid any further expendi-: ture of time and effort on legal proceedings." Smith was not available for comment yesterday.

t' In his letter to Atkins last week, Smith said he had asked the Ethics Committee of the Kentucky Bar Association "for guidance in this matter." The Ethics Committee's chairman, Martin Huelsmann of Fort Mitchell, 'said yesterday that he has prepared a reply to Smith. Smith should not release the memo if he feels it was a confidential communication, Huelsmann said. However, Smith's legal work was Jdone for the office of the finance secre- tary, not for McClure personally, Huels- mann said. If the current finance secretary, Roy Stevens, wants to release the memo, he of Royal Crown'Cda Emerson G. Dyer, 66, of 1803 Dix-dale died at 6:40 p.m.

Sunday at SS. Mary Elizabeth Hospital. He was a native of Crandall, a retired truck driver at Smith Transfer and a member of Ashland Masonic Lodge. Survivors include his wife, the former Elizabeth Nolean Coley; a son, Edgar Dyer; a daughter, Mrs. Paul Mangeot; and five grandchildren.

The funeral will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Arch L. Heady Southern Funeral Home, 3601 Taylor with burial in Louisville Memorial Gardens West. Visitation at the funeral home will be after 11 a.m. Tuesday.

Mrs. Edwin J. Gast, 89, Pine Tree Villa, died at 12:04 p.m. Monday at St. Anthony Hospital.

She was a the former Louise Lacher. Survivors include two daughters, Mrs. may do so without violating Smith's legal ethics, Huelsmann said. Stevens, who was released from a Frankfort hospital yesterday, has been away from his office since Thursday because of illness. His chief executive assistant, Tom Graham, said yesterday that he will discuss the matter with Stevens soon.

In November, the Finance Department withheld the Jan. 24 memo from The Courier-Journal, citing the state's open-records law. An exemption in that law excludes from disclosure to the public "preliminary memoranda in which opinions are expressed." Atkins, however, is seeking the memo under a different law, which says the state auditor "shall have access to" all books, reports, correspondence, files, records and property of any state agency. Atkins in his letter also questioned why the Finance Department has previously released other correspondence from its legal staff while withholding the Jan. 24 memo.

The auditor cannot perform his statutory duties "if the executive branch of government has the ability to pick and choose, under the guise of privileged communication, those documents it wishes to release," Atkins stated. In a Jan. 10, 1978, memo already released, Smith told McClure that an error claimed by Lester Motors was not substantial enough to permit the firm to withdraw its bid. McClure's agency later approved $22,695 in extra payments to Lester Motors based not on any error but on an unprotected factory price increase. In an earlier truck contract involving a claim of unprotected price increase, Lester Motors refunded $20,727 and was suspended from state bidding for six months.

Assistant State Auditor Robert Warren has said the auditor's office is looking into the extra payments for buses because of the similarity with the truck contract and because the Finance Department has made no report on its own investigation begun in November.
