Franklin Institute in Philadelphia; after tests conducted there created smog conditions similar to those suffered in the Los Angeles area. Scientists are now busy trying to find out the exact nature of "Compound X" of which there are five parts in one hundred million parts air. Since the beginning of several smog attacks in the U. S. practically all known sources of smoke, from industrial smokestakes to back yard trash burners, from oil refineries to automobiles have been blamed, but none has been found to be the sole cause. Now with Silent Sam’s help and the discovery of “Compound X” which is considered an intermediate component of smog, scientists feel they have their foot in the door as to the nature of smog formation.

Cravens Favorable To Gas Tax Boost ' Governor Candidate For Tax Increase FRANKLIN, Ind. (INS) — A candidate for governor came out flatly today in favor of a tax increase. He is Dan M. Cravens, of Frtmklin, who seeks nomination as governor on the Republican ticket Cravens urged a one - cent increase in the state gasoline tax in a speech before the Franklin Rotary club today, calling such an increase a “necessary means of restoring roadways which have bogged under unanticipated traffic that has increased almost 100 per cent in the 10 postwar years." Cravens noted that adjoining states all have higher gasoline tax than the four cents now assessed by Indiana. He proposed that Indiana charge five cents per gallon, ‘raising an estimated sl4 million more annually. The candidate, a former member of the Indiana alcoholic beverage commission, said the additional revenue should be distributed proportionately on a roadmile basis. He said the present average annual county highway budget is based on S3OO per road mile, of which only about SIOO is spent on road building directly with the other S2OO going to salaries. equipment, repair, and other items. "My proposal would increase about $155 additional money pey road mile in each city, town and county. This money would be earmarked for absolute use on the various local road prograins.” Cravens proposed that .after three Or four years of channeling the extra one-cent tax, directly to the need community levels, the legislature could then determine -whether it would be feasible to return this additional revenue to the state highway fund. , ' >1 Currently, Kentucky has a seven cent gas tax, Michigan six cents and Illinois and Ohio, five cents.
