Sparklers Back In Vogue In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UPT) Oldfashioned sparklers will be in vogue at Fourth of Jull celebrations in Indiana this year after long absence. Every adult Hoosier retains fond memories of the slender burning rods which showered dazzling sparks and added a festive atmosphere to Independence Day celebrations in bygone summers. In those days, the sparkers were crude and actually dangerous because they contained magnesium or chlorate. Sparks landing on homes or dry grass caused many fires and more than one child suffered severe bums or even of an eye. Agitation?*dver repeated injuries and fires caused by the sparklers and other fireworks prompted the 1939 Legislature to ban their use and sale as “too dangerous." _ Law Loosely Enforced The law specifically banned “blank cartridges, toy pistols, toy cannons, ton canes, or toy guns in which explosives are used, the type of balloons which require fire underneath to propel them, firecrackers, torpedos, skyrockets, roman candles, bombs and other fireworks of like construction and any fireworks containing any explosives or flammable compound.” The law was rather loosely enforced. In most instances, local officials prevented retail outlets from selling fireworks, but did little to prevent importing them into Indiana from neighboring states. The 1959 Legislature ammended the 1939 law to exclude “gold star producing slitter sparklers on wires which contain no magnesium, chlorate or prechlorate and slitter sparklers in paper tubes that do not exceed one-eight of an inch in diameter." Also excluded were toy snakes which contain.. no ’ mercury and cap guns. An emergency clause made t|ie law effetive immediately on enactment last March. Hit With Kiddies The sparklers were an immediate hit with the generation of children unfamiliar with the devices. They also found favor with older Hoosiers whose eyes are brightened by memories of past celebrations. The sparklers found their way into drug stores, supermarkets, department stores, novelty shops and even restaurants. Business was brisk even before winter was over, and children burned sparklers even in broad daylight. A spokesman for the state fire marshal's office said he had received no complaints about the sparklers. “I heard one started a fire somewhere, but we couldn’t check it out,” he said.

Heart Attack Fatal To Movie Director VIENNA, Austria (UPD —HoUywood director Charles Vidor died Thursday night in his hotel suite of a heart attack which came without warning. He was 59. The Hungarian-born motion picture veteran was in Vienna filming a new picture on location for Columbia Studios. He complained of chest and arm pains shortly after midnight and died before a physician could reach him. Deaths By Tetanus Termed Needless INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Tetanus, an often-fatal ailment the public usually associates with rusty nails and barnyards, takes 5 to 8 lives in Indiana each year and the deaths are "needless.” Dr. A.L. Marshall Jr., director of the communicable disease division of the State Board of Health, said the 12 to 15 cases and the deaths of 35 to 50 per cent of the victims each year could be prevented by “probably the most effective of all vaccines available.” Marshall said tetanus in Indiana has a “high incidence and death rate.” "This is a disease, while not communicable, which has a high rate of exposure,” Marshall said. “The public usually associates tetanus with rusty nails and barnyards. But tetanus spores are all around us in our daily environment.” Spores, are found in sweepings in the floors of houses and sidewalks. They can be. airborne in dust particles, and can enter the body through open wounds. “Once an infection occurs,” he said, “the fatality rate is pretty high—from one-third to one-half of those who contract the disease.” Unfortunately, Marshall said, a relatively small percentage of Hoosiers are inoculated against tetanus. The only available information comes from reports of children entering public schools for the first time. Marshall said school reports show that 10 to 95 per cent of the pupils have been immunized. The state average would be about 68 per cent, he said. “Os all the immunizing biologicals we have, tetanus is probably the most effective,” Marshall said. Last year, Indiana had 13 cases, 5 of which were fatal. This year, the ’ latest case and death reported officially by the health board is that of a 46-year-old man in Lake County who ran a splinter in his finger on April 3, became sick April 10 and died April 15. , Ovei util. mocrats art sold and delive. tn Decatui each day.

Change In Indiana Tax Structure Urged INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Gover-nor Handley told the Commission on State Tax and Financing Policy in a “pep talk’ late Thursday they must “get something done” about the local tax structure. “Your primary mission in the next 18 months will be to come up with some answers to this problem,” Handley said. "You have got to get something done." The governor said property ownjerS were carrying the major share of the tax load and some system must be worked out to spread the burden so everyone pays his fair share. The meeting was little more than a “pep talk” since Handley earlier informed the commission of its task. Handley emphasized that he wanted no tax increases or new taxes. He said he merely wanted the commission “to investigate judiciously and thoroughly the various possibilities Tor broadening the local tax base.” ■iTaxed To The Limit* He repeated earlier statements that local communities cannot expect more state money. “The community will iiave to raise the funds itself,” he said. “But the property owner has been taxed to the limit and there is nowhere to turn for money." Handley said he “expects some answers” to the problem by December, 1960. He said he would study the recommendations and submit them to the 1961 General Assembly. Rep. Walter Maehling, Terre Haute, commented that ; many county officials “resist” efforts to change the tax structure because “it will mean a little extra work for them." He said one county auditor told him he would need $140,000 more for his office budget if certain tax changes were made. “That’s ridiculous,” Maehling said. “They’re just lazy.” Wright Cotton, Anderson, blamed the shift to suburban living for creating new tax problems. Say No Rural Help Sen. Matthew Welsh, Vincennes, said the abandonment of railroad service has threatened many rural areas with financial disaster because the railroad was the chief taxpayer in many predominantly rural counties. Broadening the tax base would help only the urban and not the rural areas, according to Anson S. Thomas, Indianapolis, chairman of the commission. “I can see where broadening of the tax base would be helpful in industrial areas,” Thomas said, “but it won’t be of much help In rural areas. “All the people there are "al-i ready paying their property taxes and any shift in the form of tax would hit the same people,” Thomas said.

Urges United Program For Cancer Fight NORWALK, Conn. (UPI) — Lt Gen. Leslie R. Groves, heed of the Manhattan project that developed the atom bomb, said today the nation might well launch a similar scientific attack on cancer. I General Groves said he believed American cancer research tralized managment headed by would benefit greatly by a cenone strortg'executive, possibly appointed byAhe President. "I wouldn’t call it a crash program,” Groves said in an interview. ‘‘But it does bear many resemblances to the problem we had of proceeding with certain information toward a tremendously important goal. “It is more a question of pulling together and correlating the progress and work that has been done and is being done in cancer research. “The main objectives would be eliminating duplication, cutting down on wasted effort and seeing that sufficient money goes to those who show signs of producing something significant — not those who make the most saleable presentations.” Groves, now retired from the Army and a vice president of Remington Rand, said he believed such a program would have to be undertaken by the government with funds appropriated by Congress. “I don’t believe there would be any difficulty at all in gettnig massive appropriations from Congress now,” Groves said, “but pouring out money is not the solution in itself. “I would like to see full hearings on cancer research before appropriate subcommittes in both House and Senate with those committees keeping a continuing interest in how the project is going.” f._ I Groves said the key was strong management—one executive with power to cut across various programs and exercise decisions of vital importance on which ones to proeed with and which ones to cut down or discard. Groves, who made just such decisions working with brilliant and strong-willed scientists in the $2 billion atomic project, sad he wanted to make it very plain he was not angling for any such job again. “But I definitely think cancer research could benefit by such an exeutive. working with a strong advisory board,” he said.
