Steinwedel Lashes Republican Party KOKOMO, Ind. (UPI) — State Auditor Albert Steinwedel attacked the Republicans, and Lt. Gov. Crawford Parker in particular, Thursday for afflicting Hoosier taxpayers with a heavy tax load by excessive and wild spendtog, Steinwedel said parker, as president of the Senate in the 1957 Legislature, “successfully guided through that body the biggest tax increase ever loaded upon the shoulders of Hoosier taxpayers.” Steinwedel said at a Howard County Women’s Democratic Club meeting that Parker, Governor Handley and former Gov. George Craig spent more than 42M> millicm dollars more than collections from July 1, 1953, through June 30, 1958. He charged that Parker was a “veteran member of the biggest spending team in the history of the state of Indiana.” Parker’s voice was silent while the taxpayer’s dollars were being dissipated, and he and the GOP have never attempted to stop the spending, Steinwedel said. “Parker is trying to cover up his part ip the Republican spending spree,” Steinwedel said, “by writing a statement of principles that will not stand up to close scrutiny by the voter.” Earlier, he told the Kokomo Kiwanis Club he was the gross income receipts for the present fiscal year exceeded his estimates. Steinwedel added, however, it is necessary, for taxpayers to “keep a close watch” on the state’s financial condition and expend! - tures in order that future income will be spent wisely. Admitted Mrs. Arline Reynolds, Bryant; Mrs. Merle Foor, Monroe. Dismissed Carl Mies, Decatur; Mrs. Patrick Gase and baby boy, Decatur; Mrs. Joe H. Schwartz and baby boy, Monroe; Mrs. Charles McKinnon and baby girl, Decatur.

Hurricane Is Dying Out On Eastern Coast United Press International Cindy was expected to die out over Virginia today ; while at the other end of the nation Los Angeles braced for another “day of near-100-degree heat ■ and stifling smog. Cindy, an ill wind that lost her punch before hitting the eastern i seaboard, dumped scattered show- , ers and thundershowers over the central Carolinas and southeast , Virginia Thursday night. But most . of the rains totalled, less than an i inch. During her brief lifetime, Cindy left one death—a Georgetown, S.C. attorney who was killed in an auto accident on a rain-slick highway—- • and relatively minor damage. But the storm was blamed for a series of explosions that injured a dozen firemen and a bystander ' Thursday in an old chemical , plant in Charlotte, N.C. Officials said rainwater seeping into the abandoned plant reached a vat of metallic sodium and touched off , the fire and blasts. The temperature hit 95—highest • of the year—in downtown Los Angeles Thursday and more of,the same was predicted today. In addition, the smog coated the city with a thick blue cloud and drove thousands to relief on the beaches. Showers fell Thursday night along a front of cooler air from central Texas to the Ohio Valley and into New York State, over the northern Plains and in the upper Mississippi Valley. Most totals were light with Brookville, Pa., reporting 1.38 inches. The Weather Bureau predicted afternoon thundershowers today from Texas into South Carolina and Florida, over the southern Rockies and in the upper Mississpipi Valley. Rain was forecast for the early evening in New England. The cool front was expected to drop temperatures from New York State and parts of New England southwest into the Ohio Valley and Tennessee, but warmer readings . were forecast for the northern and central Rockies, the northern and central Plains and the middle Mississippi Valley. 0
