The financial report was read by treasurer Richard Macklin, and accepted by the group, showing expenditures of $4,712.24 during the half-year, and receipts of $2,067.75.

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The election-year session of the 88th Congress opened tod a y with calls by administration leaders for hard work and fast action on priority bills to cut taxes and bolster minority rights. Democratic leaders, gaveling _ House and Senate to order, already were hammering out plans to speed up the legislative machinery. It ground so slowly in the first session that members were kept on the job through Dec. 30. At a pre - session White House strategy session, the leaders promised President Johnson swift action on his top priority bills —a House - approved sll billion tax cut and an anti - discrimination measure aimed at safeguarding Negro rights in voting, schools, jobs, and use of public accommodations. Seek Fast Action Senate Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey, Minn., talking to reporters after the meeting with Johnson, said the aim was to get the tax cut measure through Congress and on the President’s desk “not later than the end Os February.” Humphrey also said Democratic leaders will insist on a “good, strong, effective” civil rights bill. But he conceded they will need 22 to 25 Republican votes to quell the inevitable southern filibusters against the legislation. Administration legislative leaders conferred with Johnson in a White House breakfast strategy session today. Speaker John W. McCormack and Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield agreed that chances are dim for clearing the heavy legislative calendar by July 13 when the Republican National Convention opens in San Francisco. McCormack said he and the other Democratic congressional leaders, who hope to finish work on at least the .major legislation by convention time, briefed Johnson on plans for the House Rules Cdmmitte to begin hear- ' ings Thursday on the civil rights bill, which bears the administration “must” label. The leaders told Johnson that the entire House membership knows “this is a primary matter before the House,” McCormack said. “We assured him that the civil rights bill will come to the floor of the House as quickly as possible as soon as the committee reports out a rule.” Await Rules Committee I>„ this? McCormack meant the bill would be taken up quickly as soon as the Southernled Rules Committee decides upon terms for debate and sends it to the House floor. Mansfield said the Capitol Hill leaders and Johnson also discussed prospects for the sll billion tax cut bill now before the Senate Finance Committee. “We hope to get spmething to (Continued on Page Six) Fred Goodwald Dies Monday At Hospital Fred Goodwald, 70, of Hicksville, 0., route 1, died Monday morning at Parkfiew memorial hospital in Fort Wayne, where he • had been a patient three weeks.

Hoosier Political Pot Now Boiling

Sen. Marshall F. Kizer of Plymouth today announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for governor of Indiana. Kizer, who was his party’s Senate floor leader in the 1963 Legislature, urged repeal of the sales tax—revenue to be replaced by a hike in the net income tax. He also favored reapportionment and payment by the state of one-half of the tuition cost of students attending private universities and col- , leges. A prediction that Governor Welsh will bless his candidacy “when he realizes the support I have gained over the state” was voiced by Kizer at a news conference where he made the announcement. , He also said that if the Republicans nominate Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine for governor, he will be handicapped by his support of the sales levy and his “lack of leadership in the recent legislature.” Attacks Sales Tax “In the next two years,’* Kizer safe, “the sales tax will siphon S2OO million from families with incomes of less than $7,000 a year. This money would be better spent with our Indiana merchants, and then taxed after it had stimulated our economy. A net income tax is a share of the profits; a sales taxis a cut in our wages. Our Indiana merchants cannot afford the loss of one hundred million dollars worth of business annually.” ’ - Kizer said that the state now pays x SI,OOO a year for, each university or college student. If. it spent SSOO for each pupil in a private school, it actually would save money, according to Kizer. 'X?. Door-to-door registration was advocated by Kizer, who said that now thousands of Hoosiers t are disfranchised. Kizer, 56, is an attorney and graduate of the Notre Dame law school. He has served eight years in the Senate and has been 3rd District Democratic chairman since 1952. Ex-Marshall .Prosecutor He was Marshall County

Hendricks, Speed, announced his candidacy for the Republican guberna- „ torial .post. He was first in the field ex- .. . cept for Doxie Moore, Indianapolis, who was director of the State Conservation Department under the regime of Gov. George N, Craig, generally regarded as a remote possibility. “I got tired waiting for Ristine to announce,” Headricks said at a news conference. He admitted, however, that Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, Cfawfor ds v 111 e, whose announcement is expected within a week or so, is the front-run-ner in the gubernatorial derby. — Hendricks said frankly that he favors the sales tax for which cast the tiebreaking decisive vote in the Senate, but he also wants to repeal the individual gross income levy to avoid double taxation. Repeal Property .Tax The deficit in the state budget would be made up by hiking the present two per cent sales tax, under Hendricks’ prog ram , which also would include repeal of the personal property tax and a freeze or lowering of the real estate levy. Hendricks added that he will support the presidential bid of Arizona Sen. Barry M. Goldwater “because he is the strongest candidate with respect to Indiana voters.” However, Hendricks has no (Continued on Page Eight)
