For Taxpayers Taxpayers in each school district who are interested to find out just how successful this past legislature has been in “saving money by lowering the property tax” will have a chance to find out this summer when the school budgets are published. The legislature’s avowed purpose in shouldering more taxes through the sales tax and gross income increase was to reduce the property tax. Following the abortive reassessment, people all over the state screamed that property taxes were too high. * Since most of the tax increase has been in school funds, the state could, ostensibily, lower property taxes by assuming more of the school tax burden. This is a very good idea, but it is very difficult to carry out. In the past few years, the legislature has only been 50% successful. For example, the 25-cent property equalization tax was to ease the burden in small, uneconomic units. Actually, the entire 25 cents was soon swallowed up in the new school budgets, and few school units were able to cut the school tax. In 1962 the governor himself, by withholding information on the amount that would be available from the state forced the school districts to submit honest, unpadded budgets, and these were then cut back when state distribution was increased, to a reasonabe level, and most units in this county got a good cut. But this was a one-time sort of cut. Now, the legislature has actually approved the shouldering of about one-third the remaining cost of public schools. This means that if the present tax rate for schools is about $3 (which Decatur’s is), it could be cut back to $2 when the new state taxes go into effect. But we have only said "could be”. If the school boards of the state discover that teacher’s pay should be raised, that new facilities or new types of classes are needed, then the amount to be saved will be gradually eaten up. In many cases, there will be justified need for new teachers and new rooms, as the school load increases. But taxpayers should certainly take a close look at school budgets this year to ascertain that there is no watering. We need good schools, but just spending tax money won’t provide them.

LACKLAND AFB, Tex.— Airman Roger W. Selking, son of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Selking of R. R. 2, Decatur, Ind., is being reassigned to Lowry AFB, Colo., for technical training as a United States Air Force missile electronics mechanic. Airman Selking, who enlisted in the Air Force a short time ago, has completed his initial basic military training here. The airman is a 1962 graduate of Monmouth high school and a former student at Concordia Teachers College in River Forest, 111.

Air Force Program Needs Men, Women The Air Force has announced needs for the new fiscal year for both men and momen in several programs, according to Sgt. Bert Crosby, local Air Force representative. The specialist program for apprentice machinists is still open and in need of young men who may have had some general knowledge of machining principles, procedures and techniques. Knowledge may be as a result of training received in high school, vocational or trade school or apprentice training in industry. Applications for enlistment in this program must qualify with a score of 40 or higher 'in the airman's qualifying examination under the mechanical aptitude area. This program has a decided advantage for the interested young man as he enlists with the first stripe and receives his second stripe immediately upon completion of his basic training, with the opportunity for more advanced training in the machinists field. The law enforcement field, air police, is also in need of men as of now and fills a big need for a man 'interested in the law enforcement field as a career in civilian life,’ providing a young man with schooling and training essential to a civilian job in this type of work. The Air Force nurse program is available for young women who have completed their nurses training and passed the state board exams, with unlimited opportunity for further training, with an opportunity also to further their education if desired. Good working conditions, travel, and additional training are the encentives for the young women in the AuForce. Other fields open in the Air Force include administrative, mechanical, electronics, and over 400 different types of work depending on the individual need and qualifications, for both young men and women. Interested persons are urged to contact Sgt. Crosby at the selective service office in Decatur on Mondays. Bicycle Is Stolen During Gome Monday Harold Meyer, 229 N. Ninth St., reported to the city police Monday evening that his bicycle was stolen while parked at Worthman field during the Pony League games. The bicycle was a black and white Schwinn model, a boy’s 26inch, that was nearly new. Custer & Smith, Attorneys . ESTATE NO. 5774 NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE ESTATE OF IDA A. WHIT RIGHT.

Cloud Thrown Over Steel Pact Confab

PITTSBURGH (UPI) — United Steelworkers President David J. ’McDonald, painting what close Observers viewed as a dismal picture, told officers of his union today that he had “no concrete” contract proposals despite hundreds of meetings with industry leaders. McDonald’s terse statement at a news conference threw a temporary cloud over the workings of the joint union - management Human Relations Committee (HRC), but he contended that “I still haven't given up hope.” The union leader’s remarks to the news media came after he had met -for a brief 30 minutes with the combined membership of the USW’s Wage Policy Committee and international Executive Board. McDonald said he had hoped to have certain recommendations to make to the Wage Policy Committee today, but added: “I have none.” Making Another Attempt “But I still haven’t given up hope,” he said. “Right after this (news conference) I am going to call on the steel industry representatives and attempt another meeting of the Human Relations Committee. “I want to make it absolutely clear that there has been no final understanding in the Human Relations Committee or with any other source on any matters undertaken. . .” McDonald said. The present contract in basic steel does not expire until a year from now, but both sides have been free since May 1 to seek re-opening of the current agreement on several issues. If the union should seek formal re-opening, it also would be free to strike 90 days after formal notice if agreement is not reached. Notes Much Discussion McDonald cautioned that there has been much discussion that an extended vacation plan and insurance application had been agreed upon. “But nothing has been agreed upon,” he said.l. McDonald said the union’s International Executive Board would meet Wednesday at 11 a.m. EDT and the Wage Policy Committee at "2 p.m. EDT. In numerous meetings since last January, the HRC, a joint unionißpnagement grup, has been seeking to iron out problems without formal negotiations. Under terms of the present pact, which expires next year, both sides have been free since May 1 to seek a reopener on wages, pensions, Preble Jolly Juniors The Preble Jolly Juniors met at the Magley school, June 12, with Jim Selking in charge. Jerry Selking and Kenny Selking led the pledges, with Leonard Rekeweg gave the health and safety report. Roll call was answered by “a favorite girl friend.” Ji m Selking gave a demonstration on soil conservation. Robert Kolter offered to pay the club members if they would clean the fence that surrounds the school meeting place. The club voted in favor of the project. The next meeting will be held July 2 at-8 p.m. at* the Magley school. Reporter, Jim Selking.

vacations and other issues. The HRC met In secret session Monday night in a last-minutf attempt to tie up all loose ends. The decision of the Wage Policy Committee hinged on the outcome of Monday night’s meeting. McDonald announced publicly for the first time Monday that one of the union’s prime objectives was seeking an expanded vacation plan which calls for 13 weeks vacation every five years for employes with 15 years’ seniority. The union also sought to eliminate the practice of contracting in-plant work to firms whose employes it does not represent. Management, in return, wanted any contract agreement to extend to mid-1965. McDonald said the vacation plan would create 20,000 to 25,000 additional jobs in basic steel at “almost no cost” to the companies. COURT NEWS Reply Filed .

Military Jel Plane Bombs Family Home COLUMBUS, Ind. (UPJ)—A 19-year-old farmer’s daughter was frightened but unhurt Monday when an unidentified military jet plane bombed her family’s home north of here. A practice bomb ripped six-inch holes through thefront porch roof,, screen door, bedroom floor of the James Frese home and buried itself into six feet of earth before exploding. The blast, described by Air Force officials as the equivalent to a. discharged ,10-gauge shotgun shell, - filled the house with acrid sulphurous smoke and splinters. Nancy Frese, a college sophomore, said she heard a jet plane passing overhead. The house is not far from the Camp Atterbury firing range used by Air National Guard planes for practice bombing runs. Then she was shaken by “the loudest noise I’ve ever heard.” . . ”1 started to run for the front of the house to see, but the dense smoke frightened me,” she said. She ran to the barn where her father, James, was working. Maj. Billy Knowles, a Bakalar Air Force Base officer conducting an interim investigation, said the projectile, which entered the house at about a 45-degree angle, was a practice marker bomb measuring about five inches in diameter and about 18 inches long. Col. John Hoff, commander of the 434th Trooper Carrier Wing at Bakalar, said the bomb evidently was” accidentally dropped from an Indiana Air National Guard plane. Maj. Knowles said Air Guard officials were expected today to conduct a thorough investigation. Meanwhile, he said the bomb could have come from a number of guard planes from different units practicing at Atterbury or from a transient plane. Col. Hoff said it appeared to be a case of equipment failure, rather than human error.
