exemptions and their abuses. The commission, a permanent body of state officials, legislators and civic leaders, studies Indiana tax needs and recommends tax changes to each session of the General Assembly. The commission’s sales tax report said it saw “no need to recommend the adoption of a gerieral retail sales tax to replace or supplement the gross income tax at the present time.” “Nevertheless, competent professional opinion indicates that the time may not be too far off when Indiana may have to give serious consideration to the adoption of a general retail sales tax to produce the revenue it needs,” the report said. To catch those who avoid the property tax, the group asked the Legislature to require payment of the tax at auto license branches when license plates are bought. Under present* law, tax receipts are- required for purchase of plates, but this has not been foolproof. The group recommended a con-
stitutional amendment to allow the Legislature to exempt household goods from the, property tax if it desires. Until that time, it suggesed a flat percentage applied to real estate taxes to cover household goods. A commission member, Rep. Waler Maehling (D-Terre Haute), raised the question of taxing airlines. , Maehling said airlines serving Indiana Were allowed Jo remain tax-free by the 1957 Legislature on grounds they were jan “infant industry.” But he said this was open to question in view of an airline brochure he received which boasted “airlines have grown up.” Little Rock School *• . . « ■ Year Ends Calmly First Negro Given Night LITTLE ROCK Ark. (UPD— The most hectic school year in the history of Central High School ended peacefully Tuesday night |as an 18-year-old Negro became the first of his race to graduate | from the integrated school. ■ Tai, lanky Ernest Green aci cepted his diploma from the pre. viously all-white school with no I outward show of feeling by his 601 white classmates and 4.000 persons attending the commencement.
As soon as ceremonies were concluded, police sent Green and eight attending Negroes into two waiting taxicabs and hustled them from the area. Police cars and National Guardsmen riding jeeps patrolled the city after the program ended. One policeman commented “We expected a lot of rumbles,” but Little Rock Was relatively quiet. The graduation brought to a close a year of riots, bomb 'threats and constant surveillance by federalized Arkansas National Guardsmen, and for a time, tough paratroopers. About 120 guardsmen sat on long benches inside a garage in the . school’s- basement Tuesday night, but they were, not needed as the ceremonies’ proceeded without interruption. Also unneeded last night were more than 100 policemen, deputy sheriffs and plainclothes detectives who kept close watch on the crowd.
