Agencies Seeking More State Funds

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Repre- ( sentatives of more state agencies and groups supporting them were I scheduled to appear before a joint! session of the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees today to appeal for bigger , appropriations of money for toe next biennium. Flood control and higher educa- ' tion were the major items on the agenda for the two groups holding their first joint meeting before ’ Thursday’s opening of the 1963 Indiana General Assembly session. The politically-powerful Indiana State Teachers Association went before the committees Tuesday to add its voice to those of other groups seeking new non-property ’ taxes to provide funds for the state’s public schools. Robert Wyatt, ISTA executive secretary, was one of three school finance experts who appeared at Tuesday’s session. Asked by a committee member if the ISTA advocated increased taxes at toe state level to provide school funds, Wyatt replied, “I think that ■ is obvious.” Wyatt said he had made it clear to toe association’s members that extra money for toe schools could come only through new state ’ taxes. The ISTA backs toe addi/ tional school appropriations advoHearing Today On Railroad Merger CHICAGO (UPD—The Interstate Commerce Commission was to hold a regional hearing in Chicago today on a proposed merger of the New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroads. Shippers and labor unions to be affected by toe amalgamation were scheduled to testify. The regional hearing was one of a series being h eld at major points served by toe two roads since toe ICC recessed a hearing in Washington in October’. Another session will be held Friday in Fort Whyne, Ind., and the national hearing will resume next month. Officials of toe two roads said toe proposed union will result in savings of $75 million a year within five years after a merger. The roads plan to spend S7O million on capital improvements and I linkups as soon as toe ICC give! them a green light. No changes are planned in passenger service, but toe roads plan many freight handling revisions to eliminate duplication of facilities and use toe most modern and efficient yard systems, they said. Initially, toe would result in toe reduction of about 7,800 jobs ov.er a five-year period. Locals Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Schwartz and sons Ronnie and Randy, returned to St. Louis, Mo., recently after spending Christmas holidays with their father and grandfather, Charles- Burke, 338 Line St. Mrs. Betty Moses returned to Eddy- , y A her father, Mr. Burke, also over toe holidays.

1 cated by the Governor’s Advisory j Council on School Financing. Mrs. J Jean Pilot, Hammond, represent- ; ing that group also appeared before the committees Tuesday. Mrs. Pilot and Wyatt estimated toe costs of operating the schools during the 1963-65 biennium at $1.2 billion and the council asked that the state provide $507 million of that amoiint. In his “balanced budget,” Governor Welsh recommended a state appropriation of $215.5 million but added that more money was actually needed. ‘‘The people are paying for toe schools now,’’ Wyatt said. “It’s a question of tax equity. Are some paying too much and others too Iittle?”~ Property taxes now provide the bulk of the money for school costs. Wyatt noted that income had increased five times in Indiana at the same time that property values had doubled. He said non-property taxes were toe only equitable method of providing toe extra money for schools. “Major economic groups in Indiana are pretty much in agreement on the need for more non-property taxation. If you don’t do it, it ! won’t be done and toe schools ' may be headed for a period of restriction, if not strangulation,” Wyatt said. Annual Report Made By Zoning Board A total of 122 building permits and six land-use permits were issued during toe year 1962, raising $l2B, and $242.20 was paid in for inspection fees on new buildings, Ralph Roop, secretary of the city zoning board, told the city council in his annual report Tuesday night. There were 110 permits granted by the zoning board' 10 rejected and granted on appeal to the board of zoning appeals, and one was rejected and not appealed. Land-use permits, granted to property owners who change toe use of a home or business establishment, were granted to two people, rejected and graifted on appeal to three, and rejected, appealed and withdrawn in one case.

Asks Delay In Disarms Talks

GENEVA (UPD - The United States has asked for a postponement of the 17-nation disarmament conference from next Monday to Feb. 12 to give toe Russians more time to consider how to end the nuclear test ban deadlock, it was learned today. No reply to toe American suggestion has been received from ! toe Russians but it was expected they would agree, informed sources said. An American delegation spokesman would not confirm or deny the reports. “This is a matter for Washington,” he said. But from sources close to other delegations it was learned toe United States feels resumption of toe conference next Monday, as • scheduled, would produce only a continuation of toe stalemate which marked the last few weeks of the conference’s deliberations in 1962. Postponement until Feb. 12 ■ would also give toe United States i a chance to name a new disarmament negotiator, it was pointed' out. Arthur H. Dean, who has led the American delegation since toe conference first convened last year, resigned Jan. 4 and his successor has not been named. It was understood there was considerable opposition to toe idea of a postponement, particularly among toe eight neutral members of toe conference, who feel there should be no letup in efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban.

Jobless Pay Claims Higher In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UPD - Unemployment compensation claims in Indiana last week rose to 55,969 compared with 50.527 the previous week. In his weekly report Tuesday, Director Lewis F. Nicolini of toe Indiana Employment Security Division, attributed the increase to curtailment of various outdoor activities plus the one-week layoff of 4,000 workers in a large plant. Car Is Recovered, Auto Stolen Again HOUSTON, Tex. (UPD -Insurance adjuster E. M. Jordan congratulated the Harris County sheriffs office Tuesday for recovering a stolen car insured by his company. But when Jordan went to pick ' up toe auto behind toe Criminal Courts Building, it wasn’t there. It had been stolen again. RATE CUT (Continued from Page One) tricity used at that step (the electric heating portion of the rate) . In addition, the last 400 kwh used each month are billed at the rate of 1c per kwh. In his announcement, Doyle attributed the company's ability to lower its rates to three factors: (1) savings made possible by congressional enactment last fall of legislation permitting a 3 per cent tax credit for capital expenditures by electric utilities, and (2) the ever-increasing use of electricity, with this greater use in turn leading to (3) the construction of new facilities utilizing the most advanced technology to produce greater efficiencies and economies in the mass generation, transmission-end distribution of electric power. “This move to lower our rates,” Doyle said, “is in keeping with our long-standing pledge — to our customers and to ourselves — that we will always render the best possible electric service at the lowest possible cost. And, whenever toe opportunity arises, through tax reduction or otherwise, to improve our service and lower its cost still further, that will be done.” The proposed all-electric-home rate would be uniform among the five AEP system companies which Tuesday sought its approval. In addition to I&M, they are: Appalachian Power company, Kentucky Power company, Ohio Power company, and Wheeling (W. Va.) Electric company. Total savings for the AEP System’s 30,000 all-electric-home customers under the new rate are estimated at about $860,000 annually.
