"7 * —— Officials To Benefit If Proposal, Passes

' Adams county officials will ben* efit if proposed legislation taking them off the fee system, is adopted In the next Indiana general assembly. . The proposal to pay county officials entirely by salary rather than by the fee system is being made by a legislative committee which studied alleged inequities in the compensations of county officials throughout the state. The committee included John M. Harlan, chairman, of Richmond, and Waren W. Martin, Jr., of Clarksville, senators appointed by Lt. Gov. Harold Handley; Harriet C. Stout of Indianapolis >and Wm. F. Condon, committee secretary, of Greentown, representatives appointed by George S. Diener, speaker of the house, and Elmer Crull of Richmond, appointed by Gov. George N. Craig. The report filed by the committee as a result of the study sets up a schedule of proposed salaries for the officials of the counties of various classes. Adams county would fall into class seven for which the following salary schedule is proposed: auditor, $6,500; treasurer, $6,500; clerk, $6,500; sheriff, $6,500; assessor, $6,000; recorder, $6,000; surveyor (if non-registered engineer) fi,Boo plus $1 per mile of drainage in the county; coroner (if not a physician) $1,000; county commissioners, $2,700, and county councilmen. $l4O plus $25 per day for each day in attendance at ’ any official session. The class one counties of Lake and Marion would allow salaries of $17,500 for auditor, treasurer, clerk and sheriff; $17,000 for assessor; SIO,OOO for recorder, $9,900 for surveyor if a registered engineer; $9,750 for county coroner if a'physician; SIO,OOO for the county commissioners and $260 for county councilmen plus the $25 per diem. The proposed salaries are graduated downward through class 13 where the salaries would range from $4,000 down to $1,600 for the commissioners and S2O plus the per diem for councilmen. Included with Adams county in class seven are Jefferson, Rush, Jay, Fayette, Hancock, Putnam, Daviess, White and Greene. Wells county is in class eight, Allen is in class two and Huntington is placed in class five. The proposed table of salaries was made following the study of the compensations of Indiana's county officals in 1955. The committee formed the following conclusions as a result of the study: that all per diems except for the councilmen be eliminated; that county officers participation in all fees, commissions and percentages be discontinued; that a fixed salary be established tor each officer with the exception of county surveyor and coroner; that all fees, percentages, and commissions be paid into the county general fund; that the effective date of the proposed legislation be Jan. 1, 1958; to have classification of counties calculated and certified each year by the state of board of accounts; that a uniform mileage allowance of eight cents per mile, in such amounts as approved by the county council, be established for county officials in the conduct of their official business, and to submit legislation to the general salary bill which would enable these conclusions to be put into effect. Exactly how local officals would benefit (as would many of the smaller counties of the state) is shown in the committee's report which includes the tables of 1955 compensations to the major officials of each county. In Adams county the auditor received a statutory salary of $4,250 plus per diem of $715.50 for a total compensation of $4,965.50. Under the proposed legislation he would receive about $1,500 more. The county treasurer turned in a total net compensation of $5,190.43 under the fee and per diem system. Os this amount, only $1,840 was the statutory salary, the rest being per diem and fees. His salary would go up a little under sl,500. Adams county’s clerk reported compensations totalling $4,747.65 for 1955. The statutory salary was also $1,840. The increase here under the new system would be over $1,700. The proposed legislation would bring a big jump to the sheriff’s compensation. The local report for 1955 totalled $3,623.89 and the new system would provide almost $3,000 more. The Adams county assessor, with a base salary of $1,500 reported a total, compensation of $4,828.36 in 1955. His increase under the proposed salary system would be about $1,200. Anotherbig boost would be in the Adams county recorder's salary, which totalled $3,373.06 with fees and per diem in 1955. The increase would be about $2,600. The base salary of county surveyor and three other seventh class counties would be decreased with the elimination of fees and per diem, but the added $1 per mile of drainage would bring it back up. The proposed salary is about SSOO less than the $3,300 reported by Adams county in 1955. The rest of the counties in the class would see increases in base compensation. . The $740 reported by the Adams county coroner would be increased to SI,OOO under the proposed salary system. Commissioners and councflmen would also receive more salary under the new system

than under the current one. However, the compensations of many county' officials.' especially those in the larger and more populous counties would be decreased in many instances. An example would be Marion county's * clerk who received a total of $24,283.25 in salary and compensations in * 1955 and who would get $17,500 under the new system. The committee, in addition to setting up a proposed salary schedule, made other recommendations pertinent to the fee systems of the various offices. Report China, Russian Talks Are Complicated Intensive Campaign Reported Underway In Restive Ukraine LONDON < UP'—Moscow talks between Communist China and the Soviet Union on Iron Curtain unity were reported complicated today by unrest in the Ukraine and a “crisis" in Sino-Soviet relations. ni ’4om»tto reports reaching London hinted an intensive campaign was underway in the traditionally restive Ukraine to stamp out “titoism” among intellectual groups there. A Canadian correspondent reported in Hong Kong after a trip to Red China that a “crisis” had developed in relations with Russia because Peiping “fiercely reseats dependence on Russia." No Hint of Trouble Reports from Moscow and Peiping on the talks between Chinese Communist Premier Chou En-Lai and leaders of the Soviet government and Communist Party gave no hint of any trouble. Peiping Radio broadcast a plea today for Iron Curtain unity behind the leadership of Soviet Russia but remained silent on the right or wrong of Moscow’s bloody policies of repression in Hungary and Poland. Peiping's broadcast of an editorial in the official Peiping Peoples Daily left the door open, by implication, to the possible role of Peiping as mediator in the satellites demand for greater freedom. But Peiping’s emphasis upon unity oveP fieedbhi lhade it clear the Peiping regime would support the Soviet in any showdown with the Eastern European countries. Bulganin Thanks Chou Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin Tuesday thanked Chou for his government’s support of Soviet policy in the Hungarian freedom fighting and Chou responded that “unity within the Communist Party itself and among the Communist parties in various countries is the most vital guarantee of the victory of our common cause of Communism." Peiping Radio emphasized this again today. This sentiment received a boost Tuesday night from East Germany before a delegation left Moscow for Peiping after a series of talks here. The East German delegation gave its full approval to the re-' vival of hard-fisted Stalinism.
