■i. Organizations Join In Sales Tax Case INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—At least three and. probably five organiztions will join Governor Welsh in his Court battle to uphold the validity of Indiana’s 2 per cent sales tax. The Indiana "Supreme Court gave three organizations permission Friday to file briefs as “friends of the court” in the appeal from a ruling by Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblack that the tax was unconstitutional. Two other organizations indicated they would seek similar permission next week. George Zazas, special counsel for Welsh and the Indiana Revenue Board in the case, filed the appeal with the high court Thursday and said he would file his supporting brief by next Tuesday or Wednesday. Organizations given permission Friday to intervene in the case were the Indiana Farm Bureau, Indiana State Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Retail Council. Spokesmen for the Indiana State Teachers Association and the General Commission of the State Board of Education said they also would seek to intervene. Representatives of the groups met informally Friday and agreed to file their briefs as rapidly as possible in order not to delay the high court’s review of the case. The suit challenging the validity of the tax was filed by the Indiana State AFL-CIO and its president, Dallas Sells. The tax, approved by the 1963 Legislature, was to have gone into effect July 1 but Niblack’s ruling halted any attempts to collect it and forced a cutback in state spending to meet the reduction in revenue. The tax had been expected to bring in $193 million during the 1963-65 biennium. Assists In Office Os Local Doctors Dr. Lorenz Gugel, a graduate of Concordia high school in Fort Wayne and the Indiana University medical school, will assist in the offices of Drs. William C. Freeby and Harold Zwick. Dr. Gugel, who recently completed his internship, will be working in the Freeby-Zwick offices for about four or five months, before entering the Armed Forces. He is presently residing in Fort Wayne.

Continue Repair Work On Covered Bridge Repair work on the old Pleasant Mills covered bridge is continuing. State workmen this morning had jacks and I-beams supported an pilings beneath the south end of the bridge and were forking at raising it, a fraction of an inch at a time, to the proper level. If the stone support at the extreme south end of the bridge does not collapse or further weaken when the weight is shifted, the bridge will be opened this afternoon or Monday. Conservation Head Is Granted Funds INDIANAPOLIS <UPD—Director Donald Foltz of the State Department of Conservation gained verbal assurance from the Indiana Board of Finance Friday that he may go ahead and spend up to $625,000 in cigaret tax money before he gets it. Foltz is attempting to carry out rehabilitatioh of Indiana state park inns and other facilities, but so far, the amount of cigaret tax money dedicated to this cause by the 1963 Legislature has not accumulated sufficiently to allow the work to be done this year. However. Foltz has some other funds dedicated for parks and asked the board if it would approve a transfer later of the cigaret tax fund to the park fund if he goes ahead and spends it for the work. , Governor Welsh, * State Auditor Dorothy Gardner and Deputy State Treasurer William A. Owen gave verbal assurance. In formal action by die board, two loans which will exhaust the Post War Planning Revolving Fund were approved. Laurel was granted a loan of $16,000 for a sewage project. Plymouth won a $54,000 loan for another sewage project but at present can draw only $11,287 because that is all that is left in the fund. As soon as other municipalities who have borrowed money repay it, Plymouth can get the rest of the loan. ICE COLD WATERMELONS at all times. Fresh California LEMONS, 49c dozen.
