Probe Report Workers May Lose Pensions INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — A study committee of the Indiana Legislative Advisory Cdmrriis sion will conduct an investigation of charges that former employes of Studebaker Corp, at South Bend may lose their pension rights. The LAC authorized the investigation at a session here Wednesday. It will be conducted by a committee headed by Sen. Earl Landgrebe, RValparaiso, who will conduct a public hearing Jan. 30 at South Bend: The investigation was touched off when Sen. Donald Yeagley, D-South Bend, charged that former workers left jobless when Studebaker moved its automobile production from South Bend to Canada are “threatened with loss of their pension rights.” Invited to appear at the hearting will be officials of Studebaker, the United Auto Workers (AFL-CIO), St. Joseph County commissioners and the South Bend Chamber of Commerce.

No Change Is Seen Likely In Tobacco Plan WASHINGTON (UPD — Congress is unlikely to disturb the government support program for tobacco, despite the recent indictment of cigarette smoking, midwestern senators and congressmen agreed today. The Midwesterners, members of Senate and House Agriculture committees, were divided on whether the government properly should support a commodity which, according to the Public Health Service’s recent report, is a health hazard likely to cause cancer and other serious ailments. Sen. William Proxmire and Rep. Lester R. Johnson, Wisconsin Democrats, Sen. Milton R. Young and Rep. Don L. Short North Dakota Republicans, and Rep. Albert H. Quie, R-Minn„ saw no need to disturb the present program. Reps. Alec G. Olson, D-Minn., Ralph F. Beermann, R - Neb., and Paul Findley, R-111., believed in varying degrees that some action should be taken. But they conceded that their. House Agriculture Committee, headed by Rep. Harold D. Cooley whose North Carolina constituents include many tobacco growers, is not likely to do anything more than Cooley has proposed. The chairman has introduced a joint resolution calling for a crash research program aimed at determining the cause of harmful effects of cigarette smoking and how this can be eliminated. Proxmire, a non-smoker, and Johnson, a 1%-pack-a-day maq, said the government’s program of strict controls and supports is the only such program which pays its own way, costing the taxpayers little or nothing. “The nature of the price support system doesn’t encourage smoking, but stabilizes income for the farmers,” Proxmire said. Tobacco allotments may be sold with the land, thus raising land prices to high levels, Johnson pointed out. Any change in this procedure coujd disastrous to present land-owners, he said. Young, who said he dropped from two packs a day to none three weeks ago, and Short, a more rpoderate smoker who new laws relating to property tax assessments removed in equities turned up by a similar study four years ago. Several state officials had suggested a new study similar to the one carried out in 1960 in Vanderburgh, Dubois, Lake, Marshall, Rush and Delaware Counties. That survey showed vWde differences in assessing household, farm, business and public utility property and resulted in new assessment laws ■in 1961. LAC members indicated, however, that a new survey could not be completed in time to be used by the 1965 Legislature and that such a study should be ordered only by the entire legislature. Estimated cost of the survey was $25,000 to $30,000. The LAC faded to take any action on a proposal that a state-owned but unused building in downtown Indianapolis be turned into a vocational training center at a cost to the state of $127,000. - The commission approved a suggestion by one of its study committees that pages during the legislative session be limited to high school and college students. Such a step would eliminate some of the toddlers who have served briefly as pages during past sessions. Mrs. Ernest Strahm Is Taken By Death Mrs. Ernest Strahm, 78, of Bluffton route 2, died at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday in Bashline hospital, Grove City, Pa., where slje had been visiting a daughter. Surviving are the husband, one son, two daughters, eight grandchildren, two brothers and one sister. Funeral rites will be held at 2 D. m, Saturday at the West Missionary church at Berne, with burial in the MRE cemetery. Friends may call at the Yager funeral home in Berne after 3 p. m. Friday. Lester Week's Farm Building Destroyed Loss of SIO,OOO was caused when a fire destroyed a large farm building at the Lester Week home, six miles west of Van Wert, 0., Wednesday. Included in the loss were 200 laying chickens, farm equipment, and 1,500 bushels of stored corn. Van Wert and Wren firemen fought the blaze for four hours. The fire is believed to have started from a short circut in an electrical heating device.

also has quit, said cigarette taxes are an important part of the federal income. “We have a responsibility to try to preserve the industry, and eliminate undesirable factors," Short said.
