Predicts Nixon In I Wisconsin Primary MILWAUKEE (UPD-A former governor and a former state Republican chairman, predicted today that Vice President Richard Nixon will enter Wisconsin's presidential. preference primary “irrespective” of whether Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's name is on the ballot. Former Gov. Walter Kohler, i Kohler, Wis„ and former state jGOP Chairman Philip G. Kuehn, Milwaukee, agreed that Nixon will , enter in Wisconsin regardless of ! whether the New York governor : becomes a presidential candidate. Kohler said Nixon is his “personal choice” and he Would be “deeply honored” if the vice president asks him to be a Nixonpledged delegate. Vincent Mercurio, Milwaukee County Republican chairman, also expressed interest in running as [a delegate for Nixon. i Mercurio said that most of the : people “officially connected with the Republican Party in Wisconsin” favor Nixon. “State Chairj man (Claude) Jasper has said that he will be neutral but I beilieve Nixon is his personal preference.” Steven Miller, Marshfield, campaign manager of the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy (r-Wis.) and listed Monday by Rep. Alvin O’Konski (r-Wis. > as a Rockefeller backer, did not dispute Mercurio’s claim of majority support from the state’s regular Republican organization. Miller, who would admit only that he feels “very kindly” toward Rockefeller, added, “I think that a great many members of the party seem to be leaning toward Nixon up to now, but I think there is going to be quite a change after they start analyzing the merits of the two men.” Mercurio said he doubted whether Rockefeller would enter the Wisconsin balloting if the New York governor decides in November on the basis of his private popularity polls to seek the presidency. . The Milwaukee. County chairman explained that it appeared there would be a fighht in the Democratic primary which would there would be a fight in the fight. If there is no Democratic primary contest, a lot of the liberals would be expected to cross over and vote for Rockefeller.” Miller, who conceded there “is not any,question” that Nixon will run in Wisconsin irrespective of whether Rockefeller enters, said Mercurio’s reasoning on Rockefeller's reluctance to enter the Wisconsin test is “wishful thinking.” Hammond Man Dies In Headon Collision SCHERERVILLE, Ind.

Lebanon Man Dies Sunday Os Injuries LEBANON, Ind. (UPD—James Hartsock, 71, Lebanon, died Sunday in an Indianapolis hospital from injuries sustained Aug. 5 when he was hit by a city truck in Lebanon. Closed Hearing On Auto Workers Union WASHINGTON (UPD — The Senate Rackets Committee goes behind closed doors today for United Auto Workers hearing which union President Walter P. Reuther blasted in advance as a “Star Chamber” session. Reuther charged Monday that the secret inquiry was arranged by.“witch - hunting” Republicans i who were out to smear his union. He urged Chairman John L. McClellan (D-Ark.) to open the meet* vestigation.” McClellan declined to do »so for the time being but pointed out that any committee member was free to move that the hearing be thrown open. He said “I might vote that way myself” under certain conditions. The closed hearing, scheduled to last two days, was arranged for the purpose of reviewing testimony and evidence gathered by Republican members about the UAW. 11 was expected to bring. a showdown on the long-standing GOP demand for public investigation of Reuther’s union. Thus far, committee Democrats have not been convinced that such an inquiry was warranted. The fiery Reuther, vice president of the AFL-CIO, tangled loudly and often with Republicans during his appearance before the committee last year. TOWNSHIP Contlnu ert_ from page one to raise the amounts necessary. Those who maintain consolidated or city schools have separate taxing rates applicable to the entire unit. . The township poof relief fund is figured by the township trustees individually according to need, but the rate is then fixed by the auditor’s office. The county rate and the DeCatur rate, and their corresponding budgets. are the only ones which have not yet been figured. The deadline for these rates is later than the township rates, all of which have already been published in their entirety for the first time. For the protection and information of the public every proposed budget is published twice, with the date, place and time of the meeting at which the township advisory board and trustee, or other legal body, will consider the proposed rate and budget. Anyone wishing to be heard, or to find out the whys and wherefores of any of the budget items or rates, may appear and be heard. The county rate is also reviewed by the county council after its submission by the county commissioners. Finally the state tax board reviews all of the budgets and rates and will hear any objections by local taxpayers.

Five homes caught in the southeasterly path of the flames were burned to the ground. Home owners opened their back yards to stray pets and horses. ; Frightened animals ran wildly ' down city streets.

Two other fires were reported out of control. One has burned more than 600 acres near Willits, I 10 miles north of here. Ukiah is ! located in the redwood timber \ country. State Forester William F.
