Florida Lady Wins Powder Puff Derby ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (UPI) — Mrs. Virginia Britt, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., the wife of an amateur pilot/ was named the Winner Tuesday night of the 17th annual Powder Puff Derby, an all-women transcontinental airplane race. Mrs. Britt, flew the 3,900-mile-course from Bakersfield, Calif., to this resort city on the Atlantic Ocean with Mrs. Lee Winfield, Miami Springs, Fig., as her coi pilot. Their victory was considered by a derby spokesman as “quite remarkable’’ because their Piper ; Cherokee PA2B has only a 180horsepower engine while the majority of the 42 planes that finished the race were equipped with 250-horsepower engines. In addition, Mrs. Britt, mother of one son, had only 445 hours of flying time and Mrs. Winfield, who has four children, only 260 hours. The derby spokesman said imany contestants have up to 17,-' 000 flying hours to their credit. The Britt-Winfield team arrived here at 11:09 a.m. Tuesday, coming in as the 35th plane. The official winner is deter--1 mined by the difference between her average flying speed and a handicap speed determined by the capability of her plane. The derby spokesman said Mrs. Britt and Mrs. Winfield won because their “navigation was very good and they caught good winds. They waited for good winds;” 1 Sew It in a Day Parted Pattern A xIV W 1 I / \ MJ F/ \ If/ B. v a —J • • B % L V ■ 1 / -4. ifO 9364 FTT SIZES t II 10-20 If 1 I—J In/ Simplest to sew, and simply marvelous — fashionable, fit-as-you-will shift.

Fileßrief To Back Appeal On Sales Tax INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — The question of the validity of Indiana’s new 2 per cent sales tax moved a step closer to a solution Tuesday with the filing of a brief supporting an appeal from a ruling the levy is unconstitutional. George Zazas, special counsel for Governor Welsh and Revenue Commissioner James C. Courtney, filed the brief with the Indiana Supreme Court. The preliminary appeal from the ruling by Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblackwas filed last week. In his 142-page brief, Zazas argued that the 1963 Legislature set policy and did not illegally delegate legislative authority to the Revenue Department. Niblack’s ruling was based largely on a contention that the legislature improperly delegated authority to executive branch of state government by allowing the llevenue Department to set the brackets on which the tax was collected and to determine specific exemptions. Niblack also ruled the language of the act was vague. Zazas cited a 1962 ruling in which the Supreme Court held the legislature did not illegally delegate power by authorizing the Indiana Port Commission to select a site for a Lake Michigan port. “Delegation of authority to an administrative agency within prescribed standards is not only appropriate but even necessary for the function of a complex tax structure with multiple problems and unforeseeable complications,’’ Zazas wrote. “The legislature has defined its policy and prescribed 1 its standards. It has left to the Department of Revenue the ascertainment of the facts necessary in order to set brackets for elimination of fractional amounts of tax and so that, in the long run, a retail merchant’s aggregate collection of tax will not vary materially from the 2 per cent of his gross income which he is required to remit to the state.” The Indiana AFL-CIO, which filed the suit challenging the tax, has 30 days in which to reply to the brief but a spokesman said efforts would be made to file the answer sooner. “We think the law is unconstittotional but we know it is a matter of great importance that the question be settled as soon as possible,” he said. The brief filed by Zazas mentioned not only the AFL-CIO but Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers, State Auditor Dorothy Gardner and State Treasurer Robert Hughes as opponents of Welsh and Courtney. All three were parties to the original suit filed by the AFL-CIO and Supreme Court rules required that they be parties to the appeal. “Governor Welsh asked them to join him in the appeal and they didn’t so the only way I could name them was on the other side,” Zazas said. Report Vandalism At Wayne Novelty A report of vandalism at the Wayne Novelty on Washington St. was received by the city police department this morning. Sometime between 5 p. m. Tuesday and 7 a. m. today the windshield of one of the Novelty's trucks was broken out with a heavy object. The truck was parked on the south jide of the building, just off Tenth St. The city police are investigating the incident.

Before the current epidem— ■ the bacteria, known as salmonella derby, was believed to emanate only from outside sources such as contaminated eggs. But Dr. Eugene Sanders of the Public Health Service’s Communicable Disease Center in Atlanta, Ga., has reported there now is "strong evidence" that it may be contagious. “There is a reasonable possibility in some of the more recent cases that the bacteria has been spread from one person to another,” he said. “We are now investigating this possibility." Sanders said all of the original cases reported in the epidemic stemmed from a common source. The PHS said last week that there was ehough evidence to indicate this common source was cracked eggs from a farm in an .unidentified area. “But the large majority of cases now are secondary cases, transmitted from person to person,” Sanders said. He said physicians at the disease center also were “quite excited” because for the first time they had “recovered some of the bacteria from the air” in hospitals where there were outbreaks.

Me Seems A Cinch For _ J : • - - Renomination By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press International ! INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Governor Welsh appears today to have foregone all aspirations for the Democratic senatorial nomination. The governor has informed Sen. Vance Hartke that he will not dispute his renomination, one of Hartke's closest office aides has told the writer. Hartke, in characteristic directaction tactics, phoned Welsh and asked pointblank, according to the informant: “Are' you going to run for senator?” “No,” was the reply, according to Hartke's office lieutenant. The upshot is that Hartke seems a lead pipe cinch for renomination. No other serious Democratic opposition is on the horizon and Hartke, who was chairman of the 1962 successful senatorial campaign committee, has been endorsed for renomination by President Kennedy. Most observers believe that Welsh, highly popular with President .Kennedy because of active support of New Frontier measures, will be named to an im. portant post in Washington. Gubernatorial Problem This situation leaves the Democrats with an unsolved problem of their 1964 gubernatorial nominee—and it is a vexing question. Party chiefs have tried in vain to interest Dr. Herman B Wells, former Indiana University president who has a long-time Democratic background. Other leading Democrats have attempted to entice Roger D. Branigin, former Indiana State Bar Association president, into the contest. He has been reluctant to date. However, at least three Democrats appeared to have been campaigning for the nomination during the convention of the Indiana Young Democrats in Indianapolis last weekend. They are State Rep. Robert Rock, Anderson, the party's House floor leader; former Bloomington Mayor Tom Lemon and
