Luther L Yager Is Optimists Speaker Luther L. Yager, prominent Berne businessman, related highlights of his recent trip to Africa during the weekly meeting of the Decatur Optimists Thursday. Yager was host to a French visitor who was In the United States to study farming methods. He in turn invited Yager to accompany him on a big game hunt in Africa. The party flew to France via Iceland and spent Jl few days in Southern France boar hunting. They also attended bull fights which differ from those held in Spain in that the bulls are not killed by the matadors. Flying on to Africa they visited maiy missions close to the hospital of the famed Dr. Schweitzer. They also witnessed many native memorial services for the late President Kennedy. Armed with a 375 magnum rifle, Yager was able to bag several water buffalo which were eagerly butchered and divided by the natives. The meat has a very palatable taste and is very similar to beef. The party also shot a large rVtbou and other variety of game.

KIZER (Continued rrom Page One) GOP legislators in office despite substantial Democratic overall majorities. 50% Tax Increase “Working men and women got a 50% to 100% raise in taxes by the Republican controlled legislature, but it may be some time before they realize it,” he pointed out. Kizer also warned about the extremists, like the John Birchers who nearly took over the Republican majority, and got it to pass the so-called “Liberty” Amendment, which has terrorized both Republicans and Democrats in congress. “If' enough states pass it, it will abolish our form of government, causing total chaos.

Stale Objects To Merger Os Damage Suits INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The state of Indiana apparently has thrown a monkey wrench into plane to consolidate all of the damage suits arising from a Halloween explosion which killed 73 persons and injured about 400 others at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum. In a brief filed Thursday in Marion County Superior Court 1, the state objected to an order consolidating ail of the expected hundreds of damage suits arising from the explosion. Hie county’s five superior court judges had agreed earlier this week to try one case for the purpose of establishing lia-

«1 let the findings in apply to all others. , attorney Floyd d Thursday that the dea too much too Burns represents Governor Welsh, Lt Gov. Richard O. Ristine, the Indiana State Fair Board and its individual members. Since the consolidation plan depended upon the agreement of' all parties Concerned, the state’s objection was expected to kill It. ' z Raises Objeettons Burns objections raised these points against the order: —"The various cases consolidated do not involve the same parties or the same issues and are not pending in the same court.’ , —“The issues have not been closed and there is no way of knowing at this time whether the cases when settled will be common to any or all of the parties.” ? ■* —"ln a large number of the

cases consolidated, the governor, lieutenant governor and the Fair Board are not parties and the consolidation order puts them in the position of defending a case in which they are not a defendant.’ —E ven if consolidaton does become anpropriate later, it is now premature since there is no way of knowing what the issues will be in the various cases now pending or cases yet to be filed. ... —The effect of the order Is to “reauire or, at least, encourage plaintiffs, present and future, who have not yet sued the state to do so.’ Test Case Chosen The five judges had picked the suit filed by Carolyn Ann Foster, one of the injured, as the one to be tried with the findings Applying to all of the cases. « Defendants named in her suit were the Indiana Coliseum Corp., Holiday On Ice, Inc., Discount Gas Corp., Melvtin T. Ross, the Indiana State Fair

Board and the state. The state was eliminated as a defendant > in some of the other suits.
