■, 1 ~ Cities and towns in Indiana will have to struggle along with funds raised from taxes on property; because the legislature failed td pass a law which would , liaVe given municipalities a share of the state's liquop taxes. Ending in a huff; senate (refused to re- * consider the bill which thje house had approved. The plan was to distribute $1j,T50,000 of the liquor taxes, among cities and towns to help defraj]y operating expenses.. The trend toward higher property taxes will continue, officials de- \ - clare, since the state 4ill not divide its collection of taxes. .- , -—L .Q Q —I ! The United States takes every precaution to avoid incidents that may lead th war, but in the cake, of the two American ali pilots who were shot dowp by Czech Communists, we believe the Americans should have Returned their ' fire. Testimony proves that the Americans kere in U. S. zone territory when the trigger-happy \ Czechs riddled their Thunderjet. The rules /should be changed giving our fliers the to fire back. If the Reds want to “make something" of the return attack, ■ lei them do it. We slipuld give our airmen equal privileges to defend themselves. —0 Vo—— J See The Blow-Up:— On March 17 the - public!will be i, able to view for the first time the : l \ havoc which can be caused by the dropping of an atomic bomb.

Two specially constructed frame housqr and several--aittouaehilts will be within the blast area. . The telecast will show the bomb \ exploding. Later in the day the . Cameras will be allowed to move in closer to inspect the bomb dam- , Age. The AEC believes that if .people see for thtemselves just . - ■ ■ ' ' ' I | ' A • how"-destructive an atomic bonib can be there will be a .greater interest in the .civilian defense j corps and a better understanding ,o‘j the ravages of atomic warfare.
