Queen Elizabeth To Visit U. S. In Fall Queen And Husband Accept Invitation WASHINGTON (UP) — Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip have accepted an invitation to visit the United States in October, it was learned today. I There had been a report that the visit would be announced this morning in simultaneous announcements from Washington and London. However, a later mestage from London called for a postponement of the announcement for “a day or two.” an authoritative source said. The acceptance of the U.S. invitation remained in effect. No explanation for the delay was offered here, but a dispatch from London said Monday’s Canadian election upset was causing the Queen’s American visit to be re-studied. There was a possibility that new Canadian elections would be necessary this fall, as the Conservative govermnent will not have a majority in Parliament. If this occurs, the Queen’s visit may be delayed or advanced to avoid her presence in Ottawa during a political campaign, the report said. The Queen and prince will visit Canada before coming to the United States. The tentative arrival date in this country is Oct. 16. The royal couple plan to visft Washington, New York, and Jamestown, Va.

New Irregularities In Illinois Office May Hike Shortage Above $1.6 Million CHICAGO <UP> — New irregularities discovered in the Cook County treasurer’s office may boost total shortages of taxpayers' money to moi;e than $1,600,000, the 'state's attorney estimated today. i The irregularities were announced late Monday and apparently stemmed.from failure to col-lect-interest on taxes in a number of foreclosure suits during the past j 10 years. State’s Atty. Benjamin Adamowski said he will ask the county board today for funds to hire special auditors to investigate the full extent of the loss. Adamowski said the shortages may,total As much as one million dollars. Earlier. „an investigation uncovered a shortage of about $600,000 in alleged overpayment of court reporting and legal publication costs in the treasurer’s office. “It is our opinion that we have the makings of a scandal which far exceeds the recently announced investigation” involving over-phyments, Adamowski said. He said the new disclosure represents “an indictment of the State’s attorney’s office, the county treasurer’s office and the office of the county auditor” because any one or all should have caught the irregularities. His office, Adamowski said, will seek to recover most of the missing interest money through civil

CONTROVERSY <r«atiaue«i from Poire Oae> the Wabash township school will take care of the township needs within the foreseeable future. Smith explained. There is no way Berne residents could be taxed for the present building program or present school. If in the distant future the resit dents of Wabash township would circulate a petition with the idea of getting 51 percent of the property owners in the township to approve a building project under the provisions of 65-701, as stated by Muselman, the property owners in i Berne in the part south of Main street at the time of petitioning would also have to be taken into 'consideration. There is doubt as to whether 51 percent of the property iowners would be without the city ■ limits of Berne. Also, the law could jbe changed at any time by the j state legislature, changing this ; feature. Smith pointed out. Under the law used. Smith added, i property leaving the school township after the letting of the bonds, September 26. 1956. will still have to pay a prp rata Share of the cost of the? school. This means that any land taken into Berne since that date will be taxed for the present building program, of the outcome of the mandamus suit. Mann, When contacted, stated that there was absolutely no intent to tax the residents of Berne for anything but the civil township rate. He felt that the taking of little parts of his township into Monroe township, piece by piece, was unfair to the other taxpayers in Wabash township, which has to pay a very high civil township rate because of it. Muselman stated in reply this morning that the whole situation was in doubt, but that every possibility had to be considered and that the mandamus action, if approved. would certainly prove highly disadvantageous to Berne taxpayers in Wabash civil township. The whole question arose several weeks ago when Mann filed a mandamus suit asking the county auditor to transfer the land in Berne south of the Main street back from Monroe township to Wabash township. Each time land was transferred from Wabash township to Berne, it was also transferred to Monroe township. Mann questioned the legality of this transfer, and asked that it be stopped. After filing of the case, it received considerable comment in all the county newspapers. Stories in the Geneva Herald pointed out the tax advantages to Wabash township. Stories in the Geneva Progress played this angle down, and pointed out the editor’s feeling that the additional “new blood” voters in Wabash township would be good for yie progress of the community. The Berne paper emphasized the loss of taxable property in Monroe township and the transfer of 600 voters from Berne out of Monroe township, making it harder for the Berne area to elect a trustee. Even county councilman Charles Jones is alarmed over the transfer of voters from his councilmanic district. Following filing of the case in circuit court, Judge Myles F. Parrish added Monroe township trustee Sylvan Sprunger as defendant. Muselman iX attorney for Sprunger, the Monroe township trustee. The Geneva Progress, published by Earl DeWald, justice of the peace in Geneva and teacher at Monmouth school, stated June 6, “There has been widespread speculation that attorney Muselman may have a connection with a Ge-neva-agitator a"hd control group sponsoring the Mattax press (Geneva Herald) in the Geneva paper war. On one occasion Mr. Muselman declined a Progress invitation to publicly deny that labor and material from his Berne operations

were getting into the Mattax operations ... It is believed that a small 'control group’ in Geneva is secretly in favor of the Monroe township side of the boundary line case because they fear the near 700 new voters from Berne will take control of Wabash township aWay from them.” Conservatives Win Canadian Election Win Upset Victory But Lack Majority OTTAWA, Ont. (UP)—The Conservatives won Canada’s general election for the first time in 22 years in an upset victory over the Liberal Party but failed today to gain a parliamentary majority as final returns trickled in. The country was faced with a situation in which no party could exercise control over the government. The 1:30 a.m. e.d.t. United Press summary of party standings showed 108 Conservatives elected and 4 leading; 100 Liberals elected and 5 leading; 20 CCF elected and 5 leading; 18 Social Credit elected and 1 leading; and four others—2 Indepencb ent Liberals and 2 Independents who usually vote Conservative — elected. A victorious party needs 135 of the Commons 265 seats to form a government with a voting majority. ~ i If you nave something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. it brings results.
