Sales Tax Reaction May Affect Election

By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press Internationa INDIANAPOLIS (U PI) — Mama’s reaction this week when she pays the sales tax on nearly everything she buys may have a lot to do with the results of the city elections Nov. 5. The lady of the house does most of the purchasing and, consequently, probably will feel the annoying impact of the two per cent levy more than will Papa, except for the possibility that he may be compelled to hike hjs spouse’s allowance. » At any rate, the tycoons of both the Democratic and Republican parties are bewildered about the vote reaction of the new tax, an unprecedented cloud on the Hoosier political horizon. Recall Bayh Jingle It is similar to the novel imagery factor that produced thousands of female votes for buoyant, youthful Sen. Birch E. Bayh with the resultant political demise of Sen. Homer E. Capehart. Television was the villain in the piece for aging Capehart, who was the betting favorite until the week-end before the election last fall, when the Democrats spent thousands of dollars on television appearances of Bayh and his pretty young wife featuring a “singing commercial.’’ - The Democrats and the Re-

publicans over the state have ( been attempting to fix the blame on each other for the sales ’levy during the recent campaigning. This issue ap- i pears to be especially pointed in Indianapolis, possibly because of more professional press agen- j try than in other areas. The bare facts of the sales tax birth are as follows: . 1 —lt became a reality only be- j cause of the insistence of its i passage by the GOP leaders of j the House of Representatives —1 Speaker Richard Guthrie, Indi- . anapolis, and Rep. Charles W. Edwards, Spencer, Republican ’lead&. Ristine Reluctant I —lt was supported reluctantly by Republican Lt. Gov. Rich- J ard O. Ristine, Crawfordsville, ! who cast the deciding vote for ■ it in the Senate, and by Demo- ■ cratic Gov. Matthew E. Welsh, who championed it as the only , realistic method of saving the state from financial chaos. —Both Democratic and GOP lawmakers in both houses voted < for it. —But the Democratic floor j leaders of the House and the . GOP and Democratic floor leaders of the Senate voted against it. Thus it appears to be that only by some process of over-simpli-fication can the blame be fixed

definitely on either party. However, who knows how the average voter will place the responsibility? Perhaps the prospect of curtailed property taxes may reduce the sales tax heat. We may never know. 0 ; 0 Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 0 o Q. It is obligatory that refreshments of some kind be served after a wedding rehearsal? A. While not exactly obligatory, this is customary. The refreshments are usually served after the rehearsal at the home of the bride —or the bridegroom invites the little party of attendants to some eating place. Q. Is a guest at a®. engagement announcement party supposed to bring some sort of gift? A. No. After all, when you are invited to the party you are not supposed to know that it IS the announcement of an engagement. So, why should you take a gift. Q. When eating with the fork, is it all right tospear the pieces ol meat with the fork held prongsdown? A. While it is all right to spear the meat with down-pointing prongs, you must be certain to lift the fork to the mouth with the prongs upward. Q. When a girl introduces the man to whom she is engaged, should she refer to him as her fiance? A. Yes.

Consumer Spending Bit Italian Factor

(Foreign News Commentary) % By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst On the surface, Italians never had had it so good. Wages were up and sales of automobiles, refrigerators and television sets 'were booming. ■ Unemployment — not counting the unemployables — was down almost to zero. And of the nations of Western Europe, only West Germany and France had more money in _ the bank. . Bui underneath there was trouble, some of it due to the very factors mentioned above and some qf it political wherein Italy’s large Communist party saw its greatest chance since 1948. Events of the next few weeks would determine Italy’s immediate future. Italy’s troubles were intertwined. '59 Statement Likely To Hurt Rockefeller By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller quit the Republican presidential nomination contest four years ago when the chill and bad breaks to which he was subjected were not much worse than they are today. Rockefeller was contesting Richard M. Nixon for the nomination when he decided to quit. He bowed out with a statement implying that the Republican National Convention already had been rigged for Nixon. This invited a chorus of Democratic complaints that the Republican nominating convention was fixed. Anyway you sliced it, Rockefeller’s implication of a fix was in some degree damaging to the Republican party and a

i great many practical politicians ■ resented then and remember now that Rocky said what he said. 1 So, the lasting damage of that statement of four years ago proves now to have been to Rockefeller’s political future. ! If he quit once he might quit again. That is a thought which tgnds just now to discourage local politicians from endorsing him. When and if the governor announces he is a candidate for the 1964 nomination and, in effect, puts up bond to stay in the race, some local polls are likely to leap for his bandwagon. But they will want to be. sure that Rocky is in the contest to stay. Among Rockefeller’s bad breaks was an ill - considered 1962 campaign promise not to raise taxes if he was re-elected governor of New York. On that promise, he probably will not make good, and that is bad. There is trouble in the New York State Liquor Authority. And, of course, the governor’s domestic arrangements seem to weigh heavily against him. Rockefeller’s receptions on his frequent movements around the United States have varied from chill to warm but never match the enthusiastic whoopla with which Sen. Barry Goldwater generally is greeted. True or not, there has been recently published reports that Meade Alcorn, Connecticut, and Leonard W. Hall, New York, both former chairmen of the Republican National Committee had refused to become national campaign managers for Rockefeller. Reports like that frighten the local politicos everywhere. What hurts Rocky helps Barry, and the senator has had some other good luck, to boot. He has made his peace with former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Ike told a dinner audience of Republicans last week — with Goldwater present — that he could support any of the persons how being mentioned for the 1964 nomination. That would seem to remove Ike from the stop-Goldwater camp where he had been setting up shop. In contrast to Rockefeller’s campaign manager problems, Goldwater is having his pick in most key states of powerful allies. There are branch managers all over the place and 'more separate Goldwater-for-President clubs, no doubt, than the senator would be able to fdentify by name. The polical impact of all of this might be measured by the sunburst of Richard M. Nixon stories observed in the past fortnight. It is becoming obvious that a lot of_ Republicans believe Rocky has struck out and, further, believe Nixoji must head-up the stop • Goldwater (movement.

Politically, the question was whether Italy’s largest political party, the Christian Democrats, could or would renew its partnership with the left-wing Socialists of Pietro Nenni to set up a governing center-left coalition. A previous attempt under former Premier Amihtore Fanfani collapsed after last April 28 elections in which the Communists picked up a million votes. Caught in the ensuing tug-of-war were the Nenni socialists who in their party congress this week.... will be asked todecide whether to continue their ties with the Communist party or to accept a sufficiently moderate stand as to permit renewal of their partnership with the Christian Democrats. The Communist part in the campaign followed a familiar pattern of strikes and violence, . including one particularly violent demonstration in Rome and resulting injury to 155 Roman police. A pawn in the struggle is the Italian economy whose rise has been among the most spectacular of all the European Common Market countries. Part of the price paid by the Christian Democrats in the last experiments with center - left government was agreement to Socialist demands 1 for nationalization of the electric power industry. The result was an investment panic which saw capital investment fall a quarter of a billion dollars below estimates and a flight of money to Switzerland. At the same time, a tight labor market touched off a wageprice spiral which in turn started a consumer boom. Consumer spending continues to be the largest single factor in the Italian economy but also to be a mixed blessing. This year for the first time since the 1950’s Italy will show a deficit in its balance of payments as result of the heavy flow of imports. The Communists have refused to tie wages with the increase in national production and have demanded that the Socialists join withthem in what could be a calamitous attack on both the

The stopgap government of Premier Giovanni Leone is to step down within the next two weeks to make way for what still is expected to be a coalition of Christian Democrats and Socialists. An alternative would be new general elections and along with them the spectre of possible new Communist gains.
