Mutz appoints 12-member panel on property tax reassessment

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) A 12member task force will watch the next property tax reassessment to guard against large increases in revenue for governments, Lt. Gov. JohnM. Mutzsays. Mutz appointed the members of the panel Thursday, charging them with monitoring the next reassessment and recommending regulatory or legislative action to hold down a potential rise in tax revenues. The reassessment begins in 1987. The 1990 tax bills will reflect the values after the reassessment is completed in March 1989. The value of property taxed will rise due to inflation, and that should allow tax rates to be lowered and

Peres and Shamir trade Israeli posts

JERUSALEM (AP) - Prime Minister Shimon Peres resigned today, beginning an unprecedented transfer of power to his rival, Yitzhak Shamir. Hours before the resignation, both men underscored the fragility of the next government. Peres, leader of the left-leaning Labor Party, will head a caretaker administration until Shamir, currently foreign minister and head of the rightist Likud bloc, is sworn in by Parliament, probably on Tuesday or Wednesday. “Mr. President, I respectfully hand in my letter of resignation as prime minister according to the existing coalition agreement,” Peres said in a brief statement out-

Reagan wants to hold in the United States perhaps as early as December. On his arrival Thursday, the president’s motorcade swept past the treeless and sparsely populated landscape between the airport and the capital. Small groups of people some holding candles and signs endorsing peace clustered at various points as the motorcade reached the city and the people who watched his arrival at the residence of Ambassador Nicholas Ruwe were undemonstrative.

Hart, executive director of the Indiana Housing Finance Authority. The group, which will serve only in an advisory capacity, will begin to meet in October. Other members are: —Sen. Lawrence M. Borst, RIndianapolis, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. —Rep. Jeffrey Espich, RUniondale, House speaker pro tern. —Bruce Cracraft, tax counsel for Indiana Bell and chairman of the Governor’s Tax Policy Committee. —Fred Hunter, a Fort Wayne Realtor.

Captured American coerced, U.S. says

WASHINGTON (AP) A top State Department official says Nicaraguan authorities coerced a captured American into making a false claim that CIA personnel are illegally involved in resupplying an-ti-communist rebels. Hours after’ 1 the detained American, Eugene Hasenfus, made the allegation at a Managua news conference Thursday, Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams said, “I hope no one will believe anything Hasenfus says until he can speak freely.” In a telephone interview, Abrams also reacted angrily to what he said was the Sandinista refusal, in violation of international law, to grant U.S. consular access to Hasenfus since his cargo plane was shot down in southern Nicaragua last Sunday.

side the office of President Chaim Herzog, to whom the resignation was submitted. Herzog replied: “I wish you well and congratulate you on all you have done.” Peres and Shamir trade jobs under an arrangement made in September 1984 after an election stalemate made it impossible for either party to govern alone. Peres, speaking on Israel Radio hours before handing in his resignation, said a Shamir-led government would not last if it failed to pursue his Middle East peace initiatives. Shamir told Army Radio that he would stick to the coalition accord.

The government of this island nation of 250,000 people has called on peace groups and anti-Soviet demonstrators to limit their activities, and their plea has been aided by a scarcity of hotel rooms for anyone trying to come to the city. Nevertheless, leaders of Jewish groups seeking increased emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union have scheduled protest meetings to coincide with the summit. Before leaving Washington, U.S. officials said Reagan would hold firm on his arms control proposals.

‘ ‘There is only one reason to keep a man from our consul, and that is to keep the pressure on,” Abrams said. “I’m confident they (the Sandinistas) are telling him, ‘lf you say the things we want to hear, you’ll be out in no time.’” ‘“lf you don’t cooperate, you’ll be in prison for 30 years,”’ he added. At the Managua news conference, Capt. Ricardo Wheelock, chief of intelligence of the Nicaraguan army, was asked if Hasenfus had been treated well since his capture Monday. “Mr. Hasenfus is being treated under the best possible conditions ... for a prisoner of war,” Wheelock said. Nicaraguan officials have said Hasenfus faces up to 30 years in prison, although no charges have been filed.
