INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Two hours of oratory for and against the Indiana sales tax will sound through the Supreme Court Chambers Sept. 19 but there may be occasional anxious looks at the huge chandelier overhead. Chief Justice Walter Myers Jr., announced the date for oral arguments on the constitutionality of the sales tax. He also disclosed that th6 elaborate old- fashion chandelier which hangs over the portion of the chamber where the debating attorneys usually stand is in danger of falling.
