Tax Study Commission In Recommendations

(Editor’s note: This is the third of a series of articles outlining various phases of the recommendations of (he Indiana tax study commission, which have been submitted to members of the 1953 leg-' islature for action at its session beginning in January.) The Indiana tax study commission? has recommended that Indiana join states in a trend away from tl|e property tax as a source df state government income. To|lay Ihe trend is to leave this form of tax as a source of income f6r local units of government. ( Jj The tax study commission,'cheated by an of the 1951 general assembly, mfde several recommendations regarding property tai. They are: i,■ ’ • .- . : L; That the 15-cent state property tax rate,, now; yielding some >8,890,000 annually, be abolished and that present obligations financed from this source be absorbed by the general fund. Current obligations ? charged to property tax are a pbrtion of state tuition support for local schools, the teachers retirement fund. World. War memorial, st{ate forestry and the state fair board. 2. That the authority of the county assessor to achieve greater uniformity in property \ assessments withip each county ‘be more bledrly defined and strengthened, to avoid confusion as to authority of township anU county assessors. 3, That the state board of tax commissioners be permitted to reduce the aggregate valuation of taxing units below the true cash Value in order to achieve equalization. i 4. That the legislature, in the forthcoming .session, provide for a statewide ‘review’ and reassessment of repl estate and improvements between January 1*- and June 30, 1955 and at regular intervals thereafter. .

5. That the legislature provide for, tho taxation of personal property in the same manner and in accordance with the same I standards as apply to real estate. The commission’s recommendittion 3i ls l to the effect that the legislature instruct the slate board of tax commissioners to develop a system for submission to the? 1955 legislature. Considerate stress was placed on periodic re-assessment of both real and personal property. , in case of personal property the tax htudy report points 1 out that in actual practice the assessment of personal property has been largely a matter of bargaining between the property owner and the assessor so that there has been little opportunity for equialization. In the case of real estate, on the 1 other hand, considerable progress has been made toward equalization |of assessments. This was made possible hy the *1949 reassessment program which brough| about the most important. movement toward tax assessment equab tty in almost 20 years. The commission recognizes that a single re-assessment cannot correct all problems. The report therefore astyj for legislation that will 'provide for regular periodic reviews. The commission expressed itself as -strongly in favor of “home rule’’ and felt that local taxing officials need the machinery for equalizing property assessments. Dropping of the 15-cent state property tax, according to the report, will strengthen the taxing power; of local governments. \ (Next: The tax study commission proposes a new tax base for local Units of government.)

Admits Friendship With Tom Luchese U. S. Attorney's i Aid In Admission ■ ■ i ■ ; \ NE WYORK UP —A top official in the United States attorney’s office admitted today that he had been friendly for five years with Thomas Three Finger Brown Luchese, reputed successor \to Frank Costello as king pin of big city rackets. \ But Armand Chandakian, the U. S. attorney’s administrative assistant, said he ended his friendship with Luchese in 1950\ after he read in the newspapers that Luchese had a police record. \ , Chankalian's recollection of when he severed this acquaintance was challenged before the New York state crime commission’s hearing by chief Counsel Ben. A. Matthews. Chandalian denied a statement read by Matthews said to have come from Federal Judge Thomas 'F. MeanCy of Newark, N. J. Thg judge said Chankalian had taken Luchese to for the purpose of disctissing a criminal case in which a friend df Luchese was involved. Chankdlian acknowledged he had at one time introduced Luchese to Meaney, but said he believed Meaney had met him previously and ienied that he had ever taken Luchese to the federal courthouse at Newark.: Luchese was described in earlier testimony today by two narcotics ageptS f as an intimate of underworld figures ranging from Lucky Luciano ’in Italy to Jack Dragna in Los Angeles. Narcotics bureau -supervisor George White testified that narcotics violator who \ was murdered two months ago told him that Luchese “had replaced Frank Costello as over-all coordinator of rackets in the New area."

Army Breaks Down Casualty Figures j || Casualties Not As Grim As May Seem WASHINGTON, UP —The army is trying to “take some of the biighboo" oft the Korean war by assuring the public that mounting U. S. casualty figures are not really as grim as they seem. The thing to remember, according to Maj. Gen. George E. Armstrong, army surgeon general, is that 85 percent of the wounded return to duty and thus are “not casualties but former casualties." Noting that army combat casualties in Korea are nearing 100,000. he told a news conference: \ “If there is some way to convince citizens that this does not represent a dead loss, we have gone a long way to lake some of the bugaboo off this particular conflict.’’ He pointed to a casualty chart listing 16,500 army men kilted in' action and 1,500 dead of wounds, and said, “That is the picture we would like to leave with you.” To achieve this picture, Armstrong ripped off the chart: 62.500 wounded who returned to duty or were discharged as-com-pletely recovered. ’ 4.500 wounded who are still hospital patients, many just starting treatment. :3,0Q0 discharged for disability. Armstrong said this was “not nearly as tough a proposition as one might think" because many could be rehabilitated to earn their own livings. Even ,a paraplegic or a blind man can lie trained to make his own -way, he said. v 12,000 missing in action. Armstrong he hoped many of these eventually be return- ■ For purposes of illustration, Armstrong Used a figure of 100,000 army casualties. Actual army combit casualties in Korea whose next of kin had been Notified through last Friday totaled 98,946. Total combat casualties of all'U. S. armed services in the same period w'ere 125.887. The announced casualty figures generally run two to three weeks late because of time required to : notify next of kin. Armstrong also said the army’s laminated nylon body armor , now being tested in Korea is reducing wounds of the chest and upper abdomen by 60 to 70 percent, and cutting the severity Os the wounds, Mitch do occur in those parts-by 25 to 35 percent. \ >. —■■■ ■ , legislature will have the greatest opportunity of \ any administration in Indiana history “to bring order out of chaos.” Craig warned tuey should let patronage become secondary in their thinking and trj\ ‘abolish unnecessary jobs." The Republicans will hpld thair organization meeting of the senate Saturday and state committee Sunday. No contest is expected for the ppst of senate president pro tem since Craig has endorsed the reelection of Valparaiso Sen. John W. Van Ness.

CHICAGO, VP—Negotiations in a; strike that has crippled production .at eight International Harvester plants since Apg. 21 were to resume today at 3 p. m. after tjie ; talks proved fruitless Thursday night. ? International Harvester representatives flatly rejected- a propose I Thursday by the striking Farm Equipment-United Electrical Workers, Ind., which called for renewal of the old contract with wage adjustments previously oftjered by the company. . A company spokesman said Harvester waft not interested in renewing the old contract because there has been more than 1,000 Wildoat strikes in the Harvester syatem in the last seven years, j The strike has not completely Closed the affected Harvester plants because a number of workers have been crossing picket fines am> reporting on the job. Consistent • violence has been the tesult. 11 The FE-UE, a coalition of two gnions expelled from the CIO for defying CIO policy, or allegedly following the Communist line, originally demanded- a 15 cent hourly pay boost. \ > In their newest proposal they frimtned the demand to seven - including a four-oent cost-pt-living increase which the old Contract would have provided for hud it not been terminated. j The FE-EU workers went on Strike at six Harvester plants in Chicago and northern Illinois, one |ii Richmond, Ind., and one in Louisville.

One Chicago non-«triker was . beaten to death on a street near Ms home recently, and a union official has fjeea charged with the crime. Meanwhile, a petition asking tliatj the FE-UE be decertified as the bargaining agent at the company’s West Pullman works here Was filed Thursday by a group of workers. j The national labor relations board will investigate the petition and, if it\ is determined that the dissident group represents 30 percent of the plant’s workers, a bargaining election -will be held.
