Ichord Will Not Debate Meyer In 1978 Run
Congressman Richard Ichord refuses to debate Republican challenger Don Meyer who has launched a series of debates ahead of the 1978 election. Ichord says Meyer should wait until after filing closes in April 1978 and accuses him of a smear campaign with half truths. Meyer, a Franklin County agribusinessman, is the only Republican filed for the 8th District seat. Ichord denounces Meyer's attacks and says he will not dignify a candidate who relies on alleged demerits of the incumbent. In related notes, Melvin Kroupa of 102 Monroe St. was bound over for trial on attempting to procure a controlled substance, connected to a Nov. 5 incident. Bobby Griffith’s related charge was dismissed.
