Y; ' , | Indiana Is Eighth In Manufacturing Field

(Editors’ note: Indiana’s industrial progress and prospects for the future are outlined in the following article written exclusively tor International News Service by Jack E. Reich, executive vice-president of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce.) By JACK E. REICH Executive Vice • President of Indiana State Chamber of Commerce (Written Expressly for I. N. S.) The year 1956 may well be J year of decision for Indiana insofar as it* prospects for future Industrial growth are concerned. Indiana now has moved up to eighth place among the states in lvalue added by manufacturing processes. Immediately after World War 11. the rank was ninth, but since then Indiana has surpassed Massachusetts in the manufacturing field. The decision to be made in 1956 on Indiana’s industrial future is largely political and governmental in nature. The question is: "Does Indiana want to continue to provide a governmental climate in her present manufacturing businesses can operate profitably enough to warrant expansion and which also will attract new industries to the state?” The answer will be provided primarily by the men and women Howlers elect in 1956 to state of-

fives and the state legislature. The decision therefore will rest with active members of both political parties who can use their influence to see that their nominees are persons who will realise the importance of the continued enlargement of Indiana’s producing and job-giving facilities. This question in our opinion, does not involve any issue of management vs. employes, or any group VB. any other group. And will benefit if our manufacturing employment is kept at a high levelproviding income which, along with that from agricultural production, makes the wheels of our communities go round and makes possible the creation of other jobs in stores, service establishments and all other types of business enterprises. The competition among states for industries is intense. Some states and communities, particularly in the south, are offering tax-free privileges and other lures in attempts to persuade new industries to locate in their areas and to entice existing businesses to pull np stakes in their present locations (Including Indiana) and move to the “promised land.” Most people in Indiana do not believe in these types of donations to obtain new corporate citizens. We do noL But we are certain that the great majority of Hoosiers want to maintain a governmental

climate which will give Indiani industry a fair chance to compete in the nation's markets. Just to cite one example of the Importance of decisions to be made in 1956 by voters and early in 1957 by the legislators they elect, there is the tax situation. It now appears that Indiana may have to enact new or increased taxes at the next legislative session. Fortunately for Indiana from a competitive situation, most other states are faced with the same prbolem. Populations have increased, more children must be educated in the schools, more school buildings must be built, highways must be improved, and so on. , j The main question, if it becomes certain that more revenue is needed, is "what kind of taxes?” Many individual Indiana legislators, an official commission on state tax and financial policy and a number of private research groups are giving much though to this question now. Their ideas and plans will be forthcoming in 1956, so now is not the time to make definite proposals. But the fact nevertheless should be borne in mind that any state which enacts legislation unfair to industry will, lose its share of future industrial growth. Established industries and new industries in Indiana Increased manufacturing employment from 548,346 persons in 1947 to 686,736 Ln 1953, the latest year for which census figures are available-a rise of 25 per cent

The future course of this trend may well be determined in 1956-57 by Indiana citizens and their representatives in government. Dionnes Determined To Lead Own Lives Rift Seems Headed To Solid Deadlock MONTREAL (INS) —The four surviving Dionne quintuplets appeared determined today to live their own lives in their own way. i As the four sisters remained in seclusion in Montreal, the rift in Canada’s famous Dionne family seemed headed for a solid deadlock. Olive “Papa” Dionne stuck to his story that his daughters were "drifting away” from their family ties. Y But h tearful Yvonne, speakiifc for the four 21-year-old girls, d€, dared: "It isn’t so.” The rift became public knowledge Tuesday when "Papa” Dionne complained that his daughters had not ■ come home for Christmas. Nor, he said, had they even sent a Christ-’ mas card or telephoned. “Papa” declared the girls were treating their family “almost with contempt.” He blamed unnamed “outside intruders” for the alleged coolness of the quints since they each inherited approximately $240,000 on their 21st birthdays last May. Th% only one of the quints “to talk was Yvonne. Between sobs, she said: “Don't believe it. It’s not true.” But for some months, the breach between the girls and their parents apparently has been brewlngand Yvonne, Anette, Cecile and Marie appear determined to hang on to their new independence. As of now, Yvonne and Cecile are nurses-in-training at the None Dame L’Esperance hospital in Montreal. Annette and Marie, who both were patients In the same hospital until a few days before Christmal, are sharing an, apartment at an undisclosed location in the city. Some ! reports describe it as, “lavish.” At the hospital Tuesday night, newsmen were told Yvonne and Cecile were “off duty” and it was not known when they would be available for further statements. Earlier Yvonne said she and Cecile did not telephone their parents at Christmas time because “we were on duty.” - "It’s not easy, this job,” she added. At his $55,000 home in Callendar, Ont., built with money he received after the quintuplets became world

Nosed Cartoonist Commits Suicide Creator Os Palooka Strip Kills Self NEW YORK (INS) —An autopsy report o n Hammond Edward (Hani Fisher was expected to confirm today that the creator of comic strip character Joe Palooka took his own life Tuesday night because of failing eyeeight and poor health. Police termed the death a suicide but awaited the autopsy results before officially determining the cause and manner of death of the noted 54-year-old cartoonist. Fisher’s body was found in a friend’s New York studio where he often worked. He had left notes mentioning his failing eyeeight, a diabetic condition and the fact he had swallowed some pills. When Fisher did not come hotae ’Tuesday night at his usual dinner hour, his wife, Marilyn, phoned a friend, Morris Weiss, and asked him to look for the cartoonist Weiss found the body and called police and an ambulance. Fisher i&jeurvived by his wife, a sister Rosalind, his mother, Mrs. Sadie B. Fisher, and a daughter by a former marriage, Wendy Lee.

He was a native of Wilkes-Barre, PL, where he began his professional career on the Times-Leader with an illustrated column just after World War One. The idea of Joe Palooka, he told friends, came to him in those early days but it was only after he moved to New York that he was able to syndicate it in 1930 and watch his lovable prizefighter grow into a figure known around the world. —— Round-World Flight Completed By Jet LONDON,(INS) — The prototype of the British Comet HI jet airliner flew from Montreal to London today in six hours, 17 minutes at an average air speed of 548 miles an hour. famous, Lionne had a different verHe said: “All our other children either came home or called on Christmas Day.

Deny Recognition For Malayan Reds Malaya Communist Party Is Dissolved BALING (INS)— Malaya’s chief minister Tengku Abdul Rahman rejected today a request from the outlawed chief of the Malayan Communist party that the party be recognized. Instead, Kanman told the Red secretary-general that the party had been dissolved. The minister revealed his stand before entering the second session of negotiation, aimed at ending the red-led jungle warfare which has terrorized the rich Malayan federation for eighfc years. Rahman joined the chief minister of Singapore, David Marshall, and Malay Chinese leader Dato Sir Cheng Lock Tan at the first of their “peace” talks with Red secretary general, Ching Peng, this afternoon. The Communist delegation kept the government leaders waiting for an hour and a half after the scheduled start of the meeting. The scene of the Malayan “Panmunjom” is a small schoolhouse in Baling, a village about 180 miles north of Kuala Lumpur, capital of the federation which is part of the British commonwealth.
