THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

Symphony Enthralls Decatur Audience

How is it possible for 80 some black and white clad musicians to weave a magic spell that no musical reproduction, however faithfully executed ever can do? Those members of the Decatur Civic Music Association who were undaunted by the weather Thursday evening were brought under that magic spell as woven by the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra, with Izler Solomon conducting. The magic is not only the sound, which cannot exactly be reproduced, but the sights which enthrall as well. It is almost being mesmerized by carefully watching one cellist throughout Ravel’s “Bolero,” the enthusiastic tamborine and triangle players during Brahm’s “Hungarian Dance, No. 6,” the cymbals loudly clanging during Beethoven’s “Eroica,” the kettle drummer meticulously adjusting the tension of his drums between his “pooms,” and not least, of course, the sawing of the bows of many violins during all the numbers. It is, in short, the pageantry of many people applying their talents under the direction of a skillful, experienced and highly trained conductor. The pinnacle of the presentation was expected to be Beethoven’s great Symphony No. 3, the “Eroica,” and the audience was $56 MILLION (Continued from Page One) enue to finance it. Welsh made it clear in a news conference Thursday, after a lively day in the legislative chambers which saw the introduction of his $1.25 billion budget, he does not now endorse his party’s tax plan which is scheduled for introduction Monday. The plan calls for replacement of the present gross income tax system with a net income tax plan and other taxes. Welsh said he has taken no position on the plan and commented “I want to see the bill first and have the counsel of the Tax and Financing Policy Commission as to its effect. Any plan which changes the tax base deserves very careful Study.” “Whatever bill is adopted must produce revenue promptly. We will be down to $5 million surplus at the end of this fiscal year and there is no room for any tolerance if the state is to remain solvent,” Welsh said. Demo Tax Plan The Democratic tax plan calls for a franchise tax on corporations which would be a tax on their right to do business in the state. Observers said such a tax would surely be involved in a long court fight, even if the net income tax were not so tested. Democratic minority leader Robert L. Rock, late Thursday introduced a budget bill which Welsh said “includes my statement of needs with one or two deviations.” The bill calls for a spending program of $1.25 billion. Welsh’s “statement of needs” budget called' for a total of $1.6 billion, far above the anticipated revenue under existing taxes. Welsh disclosed other bills related to the budget introduced by Rock will be brought into the House next week. One is his $36 million econ om ic development fund, of which about $25 million is for outer breakwater and dredging work on a Lake Michigan port at Burns Ditch and the rest for two toll bridges over the Ohio River, additional funds for Monroe Reservoir and work on stae parks properties. Cigarette Tax Welsh said doubling the state cigarette tax from the present 3 cents to 6 cents will be included in the package as his recommended way of raising the economic development fund. He said “I hope for bipartisan support on

1 not disappointed. However, RaI vel’s “Bolero” very nearly matched it for the ability to command the rapt attention of the audience, and the wave of sound which surged and broke at the music’s end, left the audience spellbound and enthusiastically applauding the excellence of the performance. The program included: Overture, “Oberon” by Carl Maria von Weber; “Seventh Epigraph” by Debussy; “Bolero” by Maurice Ravel and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 (“Eroica”) in E-flat major, Opus 55. The audience was granted two encores and would gladly have kept the orchestra there much longer. Debussy’s “Seventh Epigraph” was a substitute for a number originally listed. It is a little-known piece of music which Debussy wrote for piano, four hands. After his death, a friend of the composer orchestrated it as he knew Debussy had planned to do. Encores included Brahm’s “Hungarian Dance No. 6” and a selection from “The Damnation of Faust” by Berlioz. The appearance of the Indianapolis Symphony is something that should not be missed; it is the highlight of the concert series and the orchestra seems to improve every year, if that is possible. ’ thef und. This is not a partisan matter.” The other deviation in the Rock budget from that drafted by the Welsh administration but not introduced under budget committee sponsorship concerns state support to local schools. Welsh proposed $472 million for the next two years in state support to public schools. Rock’s budget cut this sum by SSO million but Welsh explained a bill would be introduced next week which calls for this sum to be raised by a surtax approved by local referendum, rather than by property taxation. “We Democrats in both Houses of the legislature feel we have taken the initiative to reverse the dangerous trends which threaten our shcools and threaten the stability of our property taxes,” -Rock said. Rep. John Coppes, R-Nappanee, as a member of the budget committee, had refused to cosponsor the Welsh budget. The Ways and Means Committee of which he is inairman is drafting its own budget bill in day and night sessions which so far has gotten it down as far as “c”—conservation. GOP Budget The committee cannot hope to produce the “Republican budget” for some time yet. Welsh said he plans to have Democratic lawmakers as his luncheon guests during the next 10 days “10 or 15 at a time.” He complimented the Senate Finance Committee on its efforts to close loopholes in present tax collection procedures but said that these savings “by no means will produce the kind of money we need to resolve our problems.” , Bill introduction lagged in the Senate Thursday but the House was wading in proposed legislation since Jan. 24 was the final day for unlimited introduction of bills. The Senate concentrated on committee meetings and President Pro Tern Russell Bontrager disclosed he is keeping a log of action taken by all committees on the bills assigned to them. Senate Judiciary A Committee, which got 104 bills and one resolution repealing so-called deadwood laws, will report out 24 of these bills Friday, its chairman Sen. Wendell Martin said. “We are holding any upon which there has been any inquiry,” Martin said. Other Proposals The House Thursday afternoon got some interesting proposals, in-

New Requirements For Mailing Pieces “If you are a proud parent about to announce a new birth, a mother about to send out your child’s birthday invitations, a friend of a bride-to-be mailing shower invitations, or a recipient of a gift about to send a thankyou note, you will want to know about the new size and shape requirements for mailing pieces prescribed by the post office department.” According to Postmaster John Boch, these are the new limitations effective January 1, 1963, for all envelopes, cards, and selfmailers: They must measure not less than 3 inches in width or 4)4 inches in length, ,and they must be rectangular in shape. In addition, envelopes more than 9 inches in width or 12 inches in length or those which have a ratio of width to length of less than 1 to 1.414 (1 to the square root of 2) are not recommended. “I mention birth announcements, birthday and shower invitations, and thank-you notes specifically,” the postmaster said, “because quite often these items are of unusually small dimensions or odd shapes. Although these restrictions are minor ones, full cooperation of the public will assist materially in enabling post offices to mechanize and economize.” Envelopes, cards, and self-mail-ers which are smaller than the minimums indicated above, or which are not rectangular in shape, are nonmailable. Post offices will therefore not accept them for processing and delivery. Four Are Dead, Five Rescued From Fire EAST ST. LOUIS, Hl. (UPD —A mother and her three children burned to death today in a fire which raced through the first floor on an old mansion in a once exclusive section of town. Five other persons were rescued.

Charge Republicans Violating Rules

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Democratic members of the Indiana House were due to occupy their seats as usual today although it appeared for a time Thursday that they might not be. Charging that re-introduction of a previously killed constitutional amendment removing the twoterm limit on county sheriffs violated three House rules, the minority Democrats staged a lengthy caucus and brought all activity in the lower chamber to a standstill. 'Die rules dispute and the lengthy caucus stirred speculation the Democrats might stage a walkout, leaving the House without a quorum. The feeling was strengthened when freshman Rep. James Stagg, D-Evansville, said in a speech following the caucus, “If we can’t play according to the rules, we aren’t going to have any part in it.” Demos Stay However, Rep. Robert Rock, DAnderson, Democratic floor leader, told the House that the “minority party is going to stay here to do the job” and then added as far - the Democrats are concerned tne House rules are dead for the rest of the session. He then dropped his copy of the House rules on the desk of Rep. Charles Edwards, R-Spencer, Republican floor leader, and the other Democrats filed past the desk and followed suit. Rock and Rep. James Hunter, D-East Chicago, dean of the House Democrats, maintained that the rules specifically prohibited reintroduction of a resolution or bill which had been killed. Hunter cited rulings by previous speakers who held the rules referred to the “subject matter” of such legislation. Guthrie Overrides Edwards contended, however, that the rules referred to specific pieces of legislation and not to subject matter. Speaker Richard Guthrie, R-Indianapolis, backed him up and overruled Rock’s protest. The sheriffs amendment was approved by both hotlses of the 1961 Legislature and was scheduled for action again this year. While it was in the second stage of approval, no new amendments could be introduced and the GOP House majority killed it to clear the way for introduction of an amendment containing the Repub-lican-backed “Indiana Plan" for legislative reart»rttonmet That amendment was introduced Wednesday in both the House and Senate. Two more amendments relating to legislative reapportionment were introduced Thursday in the House. Rep. John Donaldson, R-Leba-non, introduced one which he offered earlier in the session but later withdrew because the sheriff tenure amendment was still pending. It would provide for a 50member Senate representing fixed districts with a 120-member House reapportioned every 10 years by the Senate on a population basis. Reps. Ulric ohenrichs, R-De-Motte, and Russell Housel, R-Gar-rett, introduced an amendment which would give each of the state’s 92 counties one senator with the 100-member House set up on a population basis.

Peace Corps Tests Saturday Morning A new battery of Peace Corps placement tests will be given in Fort Wayne Saturday, at 8:30 a. m. in room 265, Federal Bldg. Bhe tests will be held at 823 U. S. civil service commission testing centers. This almost doubles the number of testing facilities previously used. Those who take the tests will be considered for many new Peace Corps projects in Latin America, Near East and South Asia. Peace Corps opportunities cover Africa, the Far East, and in the hundreds of different kinds of jobs. Most of them fall into the major fields of education, agriculture, health, construction and community development. Applicants must be American citizens who are at least 18 years o age. There is no upper age limit. Married couples without dependent children may apply providing both qualify for Peace Corps service. Interested persons who have not yet filled out a Peace Corps questionnaire may take the tests on a space-available basis and complete the questionnaire after the tests. Two types of placement tests will be given. One is for men and women who would like to teach in the Peace Corps at the secondary school and college levels. For this, a bachelor’s degree is usually required, although the applicant need not be an accredited teacher. The general examination is for all other Peace Corps assignments. However, an applicant who chooses the test for teachers may take an additional test in the afternoon in order to be considered for other positions as well. While many projects require technical skills, some do not. Liberal arts graduates, tor example, are often assigned to community development work — after special training, or to teach English at the dlementary school level. People with general farm backgrounds might be assigned to agricultural projects without being highly skilled in any of the many agricultural specialties.

U.S. Newsprint Use Sets Record High NEW YORK (UPD—-U.S. newsprint consumption set a new record in 1962 despite newspaper strikes in New York and Cleveland, the American Newspaper Publishers Association reported Thursday. The ANPA said that 7.486,342 tons of newsprint were consumed last year, compared with the previous record of 7,376,205 tons in 1960 and 7,330,188 tons in 1961. The effect of the New York shutdown of nine dailies was noticeable in the December total of 440,687 tons, down 6.9 per cent from the 1961 December figure. The New York strike began Dec. 8. Scorched Linen To cope with some scorched spots on linen, cut a raw onion into halves and rub the flat side of one of these on the discolored area, then soak the linen in cold water for several hours.
