Grills In Fight On Indiana Sales Tax INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Former State Sen. Nelson Grills, DIndianapolis, plans to get into the fight over the constitutionality of Indiana's new 2 per cent sales tax. Grills said Thursday that Farren Krill, East Chicago, and Robert Juby, Hammond, had asked him to represent their groups before the Indiana Supreme Court in opposing the tax. He said he would file a petition with the court Monday asking for permission to intervene in the appeal of a ruling by Marion Circuit Judge John L. Niblack that the tax is unconstitutional. Grills is expected to take the stand that the tax is illegal because the legislature which enacted it was illegal. Grills contends, and has a lower court ruling to back his contention, that the Indiana General Assembly is improperly constituted because of its failure to reapportion itself for more than 40 years. Niblack ruled, in a suit filed by President Dallas sells of the Indiana AFL-CIO, that the sales tax was unconstitutional because of vague wording and illegal delegationof legislative power to the executive branch of government. Governor Welsh and State Revenue Commissioner James C. Courtney have appealed the ruling and seven other groups have been given permission to file briefs in the case as friends of the court. Most of these groups support Welsh and Courtney. Krill, a retired contractor, represents the Hoosiers for Good Government while Juby was identified as a spokesman for the Hammond Businessmen’s Association. Changes In Criminal Laws Are Outlined LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UPI)-— Indiana’s county prosecutors got the word Thursday on the changes they can expect when the acts of the 1963 Legislature become effective, probably early next week. Changes in the state’s criminal laws were outlined at a conference called by Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers. Several of the acts create new crimes and others make changes in the penalties for existing crimes. One major change outlined by Deputy Atty. Gen. Frederick J. Graf involves the creation of a new crime of aggravated assault and battery. Created "to fill the gap between simple assault and battery and assault and battery with intent to commit a felony it carries a penalty of 1-5 years in prison and up to SI,OOO fine. Other new crimes include illegal use of a credit card issued to another person or which has been revoked or falsified, tattooing a human being except for medical purposes, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of narcotics and discharging a firearm within 25 feet of a highway. A new alternative penalty was provided for parents, guardians or others convicted of abusing or abandoning children. Under the new law, a judge may impose a penalty of 1-7 years in prison. The old penalty of six months in jail and a SSOO fine will remain in effect as alternate. Penalties • also were increased for armed resistance against arrest or interfering with an arrest and for drunken driving. A law requiring farm equipment or horse-drawn vehicles traveling on state and federal roads to display red flags or lights was extended to include county roads. Graf also outlined some other law changes in which prosecutors might be interested: County coroners will be immune from civil damages for ordering autopsies in cases in which’ the person . died in apparent good health or was found dying in any suspicious, unusual or unnatural manner. At present they may order autopsies only in cases of death “from violence or bybcasualty.” Witness fees in superior, circuit and criminal court cases will be increased from $1.25 to $5 per day and travel allowances from five cents to eight cents per mile.

Breathing Ailments Common To Infants

CHICAGO (UPI) — Breathing ailments, such as the type which led to the death of President and Mrs. Kennedy’s baby, are common afflictions among newborn infants, especially premature ones, medical literature showed today. Physicians have learned that if the baby survives the first 48 to 72 hours it probably will recover completely and have no further respiratory difficulty. Patrick Bouvier Kennedy was born prematurely on Wednesday at 12:52 p.m. EDT and died today at 4:04 a.m. EDT — 39 hours and 12 minutes later. Not Uncommon White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger had described the baby’s ailment as “idiophatic respiratory distress syndrome.” Dr. Mark W. Steele, -a New Haven, Conn., pediatrician, wrote in a journal of the American Medical Association in January, 1962, that the condition is most often found in premature infants and those born to diabetic mothers or by Caesarean section. The Kennedy baby was 5% weeks premature, and like his brother and sister, was born by Caesarean section. §teele said that in this condition the lungs of the infants are lined with membranes and are not capable of expanding completely. This causes rapid, labored breathing and eventually fatigue produced by this exertion. Two Factors Present Two factors must be present before the harmful membranes can develop, Steele said. Large quantities of fluid which surrounds the baby before birth and large quantities of blood .plasma must enter the lungs, he said. “It is known that more fluid is aspirated by babies born prematurely, by Caesarean section or to diabetic mothers than by other babies,” he said. "If the blood volume is raised above normal,

plasma also will be forced into the lungs.” Steele said a possible means of preventing the disease would be to keep the baby’s blood volume within the normal range to reduce the amount of plasma that can shift into the lungs. The pediatrician in charge of new born nurseries at Johns Hopkins University said the hyaline membrane usually increases in severity over the first 24-48 hours, then either leads to death or gradual recovery. Unfamiliar To Public The pediatrician, Dr. Mary Ellen Avery, said the disease is unfamiliar to the public but is very well known to all doctors who care for premature infants. She said about 25,000 babies die each year from this disease. Dr. Avery said the cause is not known although studies show it is related to immaturity of the lungs. “The baby can inflate his lungs normally, but when he breathes out the lungs empty instead of retaihing some air as they normally would,” she said. "If the lungs are not sufficiently well developed to keep some air in them at an times, they tend to develop membrane in the air spaces.” Patrick Bouvier was placed in a special, submarine - like high pressure chamber Thursday to improve his breathing. Report Clothing Os Missing Mon Found HENRYVILLE, Ind. (UPI) — Clothing found on the bank of a pond near here today was identified as that of Paul Clemens, 19, R. R. 1, Henryville, who had been missing since Thursday afternoon. State police reported the clothing was found on the Grant Hicks farm. They believed Clemns drowned. Scuba divers headed for the scene in an effort to locate Clemens’ body.

Cooling Trend Is Promised Hoosiers By United Press International The first glimmer of hope for a cooler weather trend in Indiana was issued today with predictions for more moderate temperatures beginning Saturday and below-nor-mal averages into the middle of next week. The five-day outlook said temperatures will average 2 to 6 degrees below normal highs of 82 to 88 and normal lows of 61 to 66. More immediate forecasts called for cooler in the northern third Saturday. While the forecasts for the central and south portions didn’t use the word “cooler,” the temperature predictions called for highs from 85 to 93 today and from near 80 to the mid 80s Saturday. The outlook for Sunday was “fair and cooler.” Before the more pleasant readings arrive. Hoosiers may get doused with a variety of precipitation. Scattered thundershowers were

expected tonight and showers and thunderstorms Saturday in the central portion.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, IMS

The union’s 156-man General Chairman’s Committee has been called to Washington Tuesday to vote on any accord that may be reached. However, there was no sign that a settlement or solution was near. The five operating unions oppose rail management plans to eliminate the jobs of 37,000 firemen now employed on diesel locomotives. The unions contend the men are needed for safety and efficiency and have vowed to strike if the new work rules are put into effect. President Kennedy has asked Congress to pass legislation to allow the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to settle the four-year-old dispute.
