Opposes Household Taxes In Indiana Household personal property taxes must be done away with was the pledge of Tom Lemon, Democratic candidate for governor, made to a group of Indiana Democrats in Fort Wayne today. “People need real estate tax exemptions to provide an incentive to build, buy, and upgrade their homes and make it possible for retirees to keep what they have worked a lifetime to secure,” said the three-time Bloomington mayor. “Let’s get rid of a tax that unfairly penalizes the very foundation of our state and national strength — our homes and families,” Lemon declared.

Two-Day Delay In Firing Os Space Rocket CAPE KENNEDY (UPD—A stream of technical troubles today forced a two-day postponement in the planned launching of America’s most powerful space rocket, the 16-story Sat-urn-1, on its first orbital voyage. The federal space agency said the launching, which would put the world’s heaviest satellite into orbit, was re-set for 10 a.m. EST Wednesday—one-day before the United States hopes to launch a Ranger-6 probe to take the first close-up photographs of the mpon. The Saturn-1 troubles started about dawn today, in a series of “minor technical difficulties” that delayed the countdown for 45 minutes. Then, about mid-morning, technicians ran into a serious problem with a liquid oxygen vent valve on the Itfc million pound thrust booster stage. The difficulty took hours, and still could not be solved in time to meet a launch schedule today. In addition to repairing the faulty valve, missilemen also faced the task of scrubbing out the Saturn propellant tanks which had been loaded with nearly one million pounds of fuel—kerosene and liquid oxygen. National television networks were standing by to transmit the thunderous launching of the 16-story, 562-ton rocket when today’s postponement was announced. A space agency spokesman said the delay today was caused by a flange used to check out the fuel line had not been removed during a recent test. This caused an obstruction in the line leading to the first stage of the huge rocket. Ribicoff Planning Pesticide Hearing WASHINGTON (UPD — Sen. Abraham A. Ribicoff. D-Conn., announced today that he would open hearings next week on the possible relationship of pesticides used on tobacco to the health hazard of smoking. Ribicoff, former secretary of Health, Education apd Welfare (HEW), said his government operations subcommittee wanted to follow up findings of the surgeon general’s recent smoking report that pesticide residues had been found in tobacco. The subcommittee held hearings last year on pesticides. Hartford City Youth Accidentally Killed HARTFORD CITY, Ind. (UPD — Services will be held Tuesday for Gary L.

BUSY SESSION (Continued from Page One) needed there. The commissioners explained that neither they, nor the auditor, had any appropriation for a calculator, but that the assessor had SIOO for machine rental, and S3OO for miscellaneous machines, which totals S4OO towa-d the $950 machine. The men offered $125 far the old machine. The commissioners decided that they should purchase it, since it would be false economy to continue renting a machine; Hugo Boerger pointed out that the past assessor, during the reassessment, could have purchased a machine with what he paid out for rent. The two men offered to rent the machine to the county temporarily for $55 a month, with the rent to apply toward the purchase price, if the county council approves the purchase, since the machine is urgently needed at the present time. The commissioners agreed to da so, and, with the prior approval of the county assessor, approved the renting of the machine from the assessor’s budget and appropriation. Bus Turn-Around A Washington township resident reported that the large school buses that turn around near his home are so long that they are breaking down the berm at the skies of the county roads where they turn around. Commissioner Max Keeps, a former driver himself, agreed that this was creating a problem. But he pointed out that if the commisioners were to approve fixing lanes for turn-arounds, that the bus routes change every year, and every year new lanes would be repaired, and eventually the commissioners would end up fixing every lane in the county, at considerable expense to the taxpayers. The commissioners agreed that at this time there appeared to be no easy solution, but that they would keep the matter under advisement. Can’t Buy Righte-of-Way Boerger remarked that he had discussed the needed right-of-way to improve a stone road in Preble township near the Ted Bultemeier property. The county is willing to improve the road, if they can get, free of charge, the right-of-way. The county cannot afford, Boerger stated, to purchase right-of-way. The group interested in rebuilding the road promised to discuss the matter. Lawrence Noll, highway superintendent, stated that the county

was no longer rebuilding “county lanes’’ just 16 feet wide, and that 18 feet was the absolute minimum, with an overall right-of-way of from 45 to 50 feet really desirable. Investigate Problem Noll also reported that it would cost $2,000 to build a dike in south Wabash township, or about the same to improve the road desired by David Moser and Tillman Affolder. The commissioners adjourned early to visit the site, and see for themselves. Dead elms are still a problem, with one that was two feet within a woods falling across a road last week in French township, blocking the road, Noll said. The state highway department reported 731.3 miles of road in Adams county, and sent two copies of a new map of the county to Noll, through the auditor. The group also planned to view the new improvement at the county jail. New York Stock Exchange Price MIDDAY PRICES A.
