Drought Relief Is Promised Hoosiers By United Press International Parched Hoosier countryside may get partial relief from the extended drought in the form of weekend showers and the weatherman predicted more rain for next week. Although weekend showers may not amount to much, “heavier” amounts were considered likely in the northern third of the state in the middle of next week. The five-day outlook called for up io three-fourths Os an inch precipitation through next Wednesday, up to half an inch central and south with locally heavier amounts. Southeastern Indiana counties, meanwhile, appeared to be among the hardest hit from the standpoint of moisture shortage. Dearborn County Agricultural Agent Ralph Watkins said he has already written off five per cent of crops. '‘lf we don’t get any rain, it’ll be worse,”he said. “Pastures are as bad now as they normally are around Aug. 1.” Near-normal temperatures were predicted for the next five days—meaning daytime highs in the upper 80s and overnight lows in the 60s. ' - Lafayette reported a high of 88 Thursday, South Bend logged 87. Overnight readings hit a pleasant 55 at Evansville.

Sign v Contracts On Indiana Port Work

INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The work of about 30 people in. such widely scattered cities as Gainesville, Fla., and St. Louis, Mo., during the next five months will determine whether of not Indiana will get a public port on Lake Michigan. Governor Welsh Thursday signed agreements with two national firms of consultants and released his administrative assistant, Clinton Green, for full-time, full-speed-ahead work on feasibility studies for the port. The ceremony in Welsh’s office consisted of the signing of two agreements, one -with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, financial consultants, and the other with Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates, an engineering firm. The agreements bind the Sverdrup firm to produce by Dec. 1 a report showing the engineering and economic feasibility of the proposed port at Burns Ditch. This will include a review of letters of intent now held by the Indiana Port Commission from grain, coal, oil, railroad and steel companies who have signified they would use the port if it were built. Study Wind, Water Also Included is a study, which L.J. Sverdrup, St. Louis, co-owner Os the firm, said would be done by the University of Florida, ter show the effect of wind and water upon the proposed port site. One of the claims made by opponents of the port is that the harbor would fill up with sand so rapidly it would not be feasible. Green, who already was working part-time as secretary-treas-urer of the Port Commission, was released from his duties with Welsh for fulltime work on the port project. Welsh did not name a replacement and, when asked, Up replied, “Maybe we can’t afford one.” ~ This was a reference to the fact

responsive, you wonder why no other Americanmade car thought of it. Corvair’s engine is also air cooled, we might add, which ineans there’s no antifreeze or water for you to add. Ever. > All that pleasure from something so practical almost makes you think Corvair is unique among American cars. Which isn’t surprising, because it is!

Indiana now facets a general fund tax crisis because of a court ruling bolding a new sales tax unconstitutional. However the money involved in the two agreements on the port would not be from the general fund but from a $600,006 balance in an allocation made to the commission by the 1961 Legislature. Sverdrup is to get $292,000 for its engineering and economic fesibility report. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith get only out-of-pocket expenses unless the studies lead to issuance of bonds to finance the port. Then the firm would get $5 for each SI,OOO worth of bonds. Seek Federal Funds Welsh said he would continue efforts to obtain federal funds for the outer breakwater construction and harbor work, even while proceeding with the private financing plan. Sen, Paul Douglas, D-111., and the Indiana Save the Dunes Council have waged a determined campaign to block approval of the Indiana harbor project in Congress and to <jate have been successful. The new approach, launched with “jubilation” ?by Welsh, looks toward selling bonds to cover both the lake and land portion of the harbor facility. Welsh predicted constructitfti Work' on the port would commence late in 1964. If Indiana does not get started on a public port by 1968, then two steel companies which have located at the site can take back the proposed site and construct a private port.

Formal Appeal, Filed Thursday On Sales Tax INDIANAPOLIS (UPD-Geofge Zazas, special counsel for Governor Welsh, expects to file a brief with the Indiana Supreme Court by the middle of next week to support the governor’s appeal of a lower court ruling invalidating the state’s new 2 per cent sales tax. Zazas, hirqd as a special counsel after Indiana Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers, backed out. of the case, filed the formal appeal Thursday. The appeal consisted merely of a claim that Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblack erred in denying a new trial on his ruling that the tax passed by the 1963 Legislature was unconstitutional. Zazas said the supporting brief, which he expects to file riext Tuesday or Wednesday, will attempt to answer all of the points which the Indiana AFL-CIO and its president, Dallas Sells, raised in their successful suit to block collection of the tax which was to have gone intp effect July 1. Niblack overruled some of the points raised by the plaintiffs in ttye base and based his ruling of unconstitutionality on what he termed the vague wording of the sales tax act and two instances of unlawful delegation of legislative authority to the executive branch of state government. Niblack also said, in passing, that if the question had been raised he also would have ruled the act unconstitutional on the grounds that it forced merchants to act as tax collectors for the state without compensation. Zazas said that, in his brief, he would attempt to answer all of the points raised by the plaintiffs, even those which did not figure in Niblack’s decision. Welsh appointed Zazas to act as special counsel after Steers said he agreed with Niblack’s ruling and that he did not think the state

Governor Barnett Assails Kennedys WASHINGTON (UPI) — Mississippi Gov. Ross R. Barnett today accused President Kennedy and his brother Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, of “sowing seeds of hate and violence” in the civil rights field which cbuld lead to a “bloody harvest.” Charging that the current wave of civil rights agitaiton was Com-munist-inspired, Barnett, displayed a poster - sized photograph which he claimed showed Negro leader Dr. Martin Luther King “st a Communist training school.” He said the picture was taken at the Highlander Folk School, Mount Eagle, Tenn., before the -school was shut down by the state of Tennessee as subversive. He said he got the picture from the Georgia Commission on Education. Barnett, who is under a contempt charge for defying a federal court order to integrate the University of Mississippi, testified before the Senate Commerce Committee in opposition to the administration’s civil rights bill to ban discrimination in hotels, restaurants, theaters and other businesses. Barnett told the committee passage of the bill would “put hundreds of thousands of ’white businessmen in the streets.” Barnett said the President and the attorney general had encouraged demonstrations such as freedom rides and the like. He said the President’s recent televised civil rights address told the Negro, in substance, that he had not been treated fairly and “what else can he do but resort to the streets.” had grounds for an appeal. The loss of the anticipated $193 million revenue from the sales tax during the 1963-65 biennium, or at least during the first part of it, forced a cutback in state spending with most of the cut pertaining to state aid to local schools. Most of the sales tax revenue had been earmarked for that purpose as a property tax relief measure.
