Dulles In Meeting ' With Ambassadors Discuss Violence During Nixon Tour WASHINGTON (UP)-Secretary of State John Foster Dulles scheduled a meeting today with ambassadors from the eight South American countries visited by Vice President Richard M. Nixon. Informed sources said Dulles wanted to compare notes with the Latin envoys on the effect of Nixon’s violence-marred tour. Diplomats from seven of the eight nations—all but ColombiaWednesday heard the Vice President addess a luncheon at the National Press Club. Nixon told the gathering he made his trip despite threats on his life because “if we allow a bunch of blackmailing bullies to keep government officials doing what needs to be done, we better get off the face of the earth.” The theme of his speech was that the United States must avoid foreign aid policies which keep an "elite” in power or “make the rich richer in Latin American countries. He said it would be a basic mistake to assume Communists were entirely responsible for the rock - thowing, spitting riots against him in Peru and Venezuela “Communists spearheaded the [ attack . . but they had a lot of willing spear-carriers, ,r he said. I He urged that this government j should coordinate its diplomatic, economic and information policies to combat Communist influence. The Immigration Ser vice meantime pressed an investigation into i the status of former Venezuelan ! dictator Marco Perez Jiminez, [who has been granted sanctuay in this country. _ Perez Jiminez is in Miami. Fla., where he arrived on March 28 after taking refuge in the Dominican Republic, following his ouster (from Venezuela in an army-led I coup d'etat. Itnmigration authorities rejected his visitor’s visa and [admitted him on “parole”—a statlus given those whose admissibility Ijs in doubt. —, Cooler Wealher Is Predicted In Stale Rainfall Paves Way For Cool Weather .

400 Amish Wagons Are Licensed Here County License Is Now Paid By Amish Nearly 400 Amish wagons will be licensed in Adams county this year when the assessing period is completely finished, Edward F. Jaberg, county auditor, said today. The 1955 state legislature passed fl law permitting a county to license Amish buggies and wagons. The first license costs sls, and additional licenses are $1 each. The township assessor .usually the township trustee, issues the licenses, which are obtained from the county auditor. While sls seems like a high fee for buggies and wagons, road men say that it is not. Horses and ironwheel wagons damage the soft blacktop roads, and crush the stone roads so that the expensive gravel just blows away. Monroe township seems, to be the center of Amish activity in Adams county. The township assessor took out a total of 200 lienses. The licenses not sold are returned to "the auditor's office. Wabash township trustee L. A. Mann took out 115 licenses. Jefferson sold 47. Blue Creek, 19. and French township. 10. A few have been sold directly from the auditor’s office, because the licenses were late in arriving from the state-office. Some farmers had already been assessed. Adams county received $1,976 for the county roads in 1957 from the Amish. Adams County Auditor Edward F. Jaberg said assessors in his area ran into the same kind of trouble collecting buggy taxes that they do from other taxpayers trying to get by with the least possible amount of, financial responsibility. Look For ‘Bargain” ‘‘We had some fellows,” Jaberg said, “who wanted to buy plates for all their sons and daughters. That way,, they could get the plates for $1 each after the sls fee for the first one.” But Jaberg said assessors were firm, although he said in cases where the ownership of the extra buggies was not clear-cut they had to use their own judgment. Some counties began levying the tax the year after, the legislature created the law. Others, seeing how productive it was for the pioneers, adopted the plan later. ml au as ljv } ; nFiwrtheasteM ‘ heavuy populated by members of this religious sect whose trademark is frugal living, bearded men and colorless garb. The Amish have religious scruples against motor vehicles. They drive home-drawn buggies. Until recently, they paid no taxes, like motorists, for the privilege of driving on the highways. -LaGrange County gets an income of SIO,OOO to SII,OOO a year from buggy license plates. Elkhaff County collected $4,900 from plate sales last year. LaGrange County Auditor Richard L. Eash said most buggy owners, in his, area didn’t mind paying the tax. But they balked at displaying the license plates on their vehicles. The Amish dislike adornment. Some of them painted the colored plates black to match their black suits and black hats. The law doesn’t say they can't paint the plates black. The paint hides the numbers but the num-bets'-are raised on metal and you can tell what they are if you . squint. Nobody seems to care ; about the number anyhow, the ■ main thing being that the tax is paid. i Elkhart County Auditor Frank

tion to accept it. The mention to accept was introduced to the assembly by Dr. Byron Stroh, superintendent of the Fort Wayne Methodist District. The congregation previously was invited to join in 1956, subject to its release from the Cental Jurisdiction. the administrative organization for Negro Methodist churches. Only a week ago, the church was released from the jurisdiction's Lexington Conference. The conference also adopted a resolution to move the conference next year to Ball State Teachers College at Muncie, provided scheduling can be worked out with two othr Methodist conferences-in Indiana. Otherwise, it would be held in Fort Wayne.
