Gasoline tax Hike would provide revenue, cut usage

WASHINGTON (AP) - With President Ford's proposed 5 per cent income surtax in trouble, administration officials are talking again about a gasoline tax hike that they say would provide needed revenue and cut gasoline consumption. Government officials say the administration is desperate to get congressional and public approval for one of the two taxes. An increase in tax revenue would be used to pay for a proposed public service unemployment program, help the housing industry and offset tax cuts for low-income groups. State Police—

Nevertheless, some officials said privately they were surprised when Interior Secretary Rogers C.B. Morton said Wednesday he was studying a gas tax increase anew and might recommend it to the President. These officials also said it was highly unlikely Morton would raise the gas tax idea again without prior approval of the White House. And they said it logically could be linked with a White House statement Tuesday that Ford no longer was “wedded” to his income surtax proposal. The gasoline tax proposal that has had the widest support among administration econo-

Continued from page 1

mists is an increase of 10 cents per gallon, on top of the existing four-cont federal tax. One Treasury official said a 10-con t increase would raise about |9 billion. He said it had been proposed in the past to pay for income tax refunds of about |4 billion to low-income persons and use the remaining $5 billion to pay for a public service job project and other programs. Treasury officials, including Secretary William E. Simon, have made no secret that they preferred the gasoline tax to the income surtax. They have argued that the gasoline tax also would help reduce gasoline consumption.

Ford has said on several occasions there would be no gasoline tax increase, and he has argued that his surtax proposal was fairer. However, the income surtax has run into heavy opposition, and congressional leaders like House Speaker Carl Albert have said it will never go into effect. Treasury officials also have said privately for weeks that the surtax is doomed. These officials believe Ford decided against a gasoline tax because he felt it would not get through Congress. But they say that Congress might now be willing to consider the gasoline proposal because of congressional objections to the surtax.

It was also determined that “there was an attempt to cut the torso in half from the back."

SPRINGFIELD, 111. (AP) - J.R. “Bud" Fitxpatrick got into the newspaper business against his better judgment nearly four decades ago. Now he says he cant give it up “It must be in my blood," said Fitxpatrick, a spry 78. “There are plenty of places you can go and make more money than the newspaper business. " Fitxpatrick has gone other places, operating a real estate firm and running a wax museum in Springfield. But news-

papering is still a chief love. “It keeps you in contact with the moving work)," he said in a recent interview at his office, where walls are lined with mementos and photographs of poli-

ticians and sports figures.

Fitzpatrick’s current publication is a weekly blend of news, comment and folksy humor contained in a printed news-

letter called “Main Street."

Fitxpatrick said he was “dragged sideways" into newspapering in 1936 when he and two friends agreed to start a weekly newspaper to take a position on a local controversy in-

volving public utilities.

Fitxpatrick recalled that once the deal was made he was somewhat reluctant bacause “I

could loaa a lot of money."

bought out the remaining pan U ner, becoming sole publisher of

the Citixen Tribune.

“I took it over and carried on until 1966," Fitzpatrick said. “That's the longest any weekly newspaper ever ran in

Springfield."

Fitzpatrick said he felt a compulsion to keep on writing, so he decided then to put out Main Street, named after the column he had written for the Citizen Tribune. Main Street, which carries no advertising and costs his 735 paid subscribers $12.50 a year, contains “nothing but news of interest on the local level, written with complete independence and genuine frankness," the front page says. A recent issue had a story on former President Nixon, items on the local sanitary district and school board and a story telling what the State Fair was

like years ago.

Fitxpatrick freely admits that his publication contains his own opinions. But he figures if his readers don’t like what he is writing, they don’t have to buy

Main Street.

"We call a spade as we see it,” he said. "People have some confidence in what we say. It’s not a question of winning or losing (on an issue). It’s a question of doing what we think

is right.”

A cooperative project of Methodist laymen and DePauw students was subject of a presentation by Dr. Clinton Gass of the Math department before members of the Greencastle Rotary Club. As a winter term project students and laymen went tc Horxjgras last year for the purpose of constructing a parsonage and cistern for one of the churches in that area. While the project was stymied because material didn’t arrive on time, the group did get much of the actual construction done. Since leaving the project last

yaar, the local group hai been Informed that residenta of Honduras have been able to complete the projects which included a large parsonage and a huge cistern to impound water for toilet facilities. In January, a similar group of students and laymen will return to Honduras this time to help rebuild homes destroyed by the storms. Preceding the program, Rev. Morris Finch was inducted into the Rotary Club. He was sponsored by Dr. John Coomer and Charles Ellis conducted the induction.

ATHENS (AP) - Stelios Kyriakou has a bold poster displayed on his shop window reading “koum-kan blocks sold here.” Across from him is one of the city’s largest police centers and many police officers are his customers. Kyriakou says koum-kan is blossoming again “in a state of legal illegality.” Koum-kan, equivalent to “Rummy” in the West, is Greece’s favorite national card game, the daily pastime of the coffee-shop pundit and the neighborhood gossiping housewives. But the game was banned by the now defunct military dictatorship as “immoral, economically ruinous, and a serious waste of time.” The ban formally remains, but since the fall of the dictatorship in July, koum-kan has moved to the No. 1 slot again, and Kyriakou makes lucrative sales of his koum-kan blocks to facilitate the scoring records of the players. The dictatorship’s decree provided for up to five years im-

prisonment for the managers of clubs where police found the game being played, and up to two years imprisonment and a fine for those found playing even at home. It also provided for the confiscation of gamblers’ money and the confiscation of dub furniture and utensils. Under t)u junta about a dozen arrests of koum-kan players were reported, and fines were imposed. Since the fall of the junta another half dozen have been arrested but later re-

Many koum-kan players believe the government would not undertake the step of formally legalizing koum-kan again, because it would appear as encouragement for gambling. But as long as money is not displayed openly, they say that it will continue to thrive in homes and the numerous male-domi-nated coffee-shops. Even police admit to playing it at their stations during lax hours. Koum-kan is almost part and parcel of traditional Greek custom.
