Jr. U- President John G. Heller —Vice President Chas. E. Holthouse-- Secretary-Treasurer Where are the Candidates? Where are the candidates for focal office? With the filing period opening next week, only a handful of candidates have announced on the Democratic ticket, and none have announced on the Republican ticket. For some offices, this is understandable. Miss Rosemary Spangler, who won over tough opiMfeitiea in both the spring primary and fall election four years ago has done such a fine job as county recorder, and has a reputation as an indefatigable campaigner, that no serious candidate is likely to oppose her this time.* Likewise, county treasurer Bill Linn has done a creditable job as county treasurer, and probably will have no opposition in the primary, at least. The office of coroner seldom draws many candidates, and the announced candidate, Richard F. Linn, is quite popular, young, likeable and agressive. The office of surveyor is also up for a fouryear term. The incumbent Herman Moellering, has held the office since 1949, having been first elected in 1948. He has completed two two-year terms, and three four-year terms, and if he runs for reelection, it will be for a sixth term. The job of surveyor is somewhat thankless in Adams county, where heavy soils create many drainage problems; Adams has more mises of court ditches than any other county in the state. Twenty-one men have been surveyor of Adams county since the office wks created in 1852, including two Republicans, Henry C. Peterson 1869-71, and Virgil F .Bowers, 1947-49. a Another question will be whether Hugo Boerger, well-known and popular commissioner from the first district, will try for a third term. This has been frequently tried, but not successfully since George Shoemaker in 1928. Lew Worthman was the last to try from the first district. Boerger is known to be considering a third term, but has not definitely made his mind up; this is probably keeping anyone etee from announcing for the office; In the third district, Delmas (Mike) Bollenbacher will be a candidate for a second term. There has never been a Republican commissioner elected from the third district, but twice in the last forty years candidates have been held to only one term by opposition in the primary. Bollenbacher has been pretty popular, however, and no one is known to be considering the race against him in May. Another major office is thajt of county auditor. Richard D. Lewton, former elerk* and treasurer, has announced for auditor. HO is well experienced, and has the backing of a number of prominent Democrats. However, the opposition to “job-hopping” from one court house office to another has been known to rankle some politicians, and rumors have been thick and fast about opponents, both Democratic and Republican. And then there are the biennial precinct committeeman elections. Whether another faction fight will take place in Democratic ranks is not known. But it should be an interesting election, even if not many ’ candidates have filed yet, or ahy races turned up. Editorial written by Dick HeUer

Many Problems In Indiana Tax Forms

By HORTENSE MYERS Unitell Press International INDIANAPOLIS (U PI) — Wives and employers are sources of many of the problems confronting Hoosiers trying to fill out their Indiana tax forms, according to Commissioner James C. Courtney of the Indiana Department of Revenue. After the married man whose income was in wages and salaries gets past his name, address and social security and zip code numbers, he runs into his employer or employers. If the boss did as instructed and provided his employes with a record of the money earned between Jan- 1 and June 30, as well as the entire 1963 income, then the problem is simple. But if not, Courtney advises “just split the 1963 income in half.” However, he said that if the taxpayer earned considerably more money in the last six months than in the first half, then he may want to go back and ask his employer to separate the year’s income into before adjusted gross and after. Split Income In Half “We will not question a return which splits the income in half, but if it is off - balance, the time of income must be proven,” he said. The reason—the rate for the first six months—in column “A” is figured at IM per cent—the old flat gross income rate. The second column “B” carries the entire 1963 income but using a 1 per cent rate instead of 2 per cent. The third column “C” gives the taxpayer space in which to show any Indiana state tax pre.fl . — ■ ■ ■..

viously withheld or paid. The lower part of the form, under column C is used for determinining exemptions separately under the two tax systems in effect in 1963. Exemptions are different under the two taxes and that for a wife has been source of the most mistakes, so far. In figuring the exemption during the first six months (line 15) a husband can claim nothing for a wife who had no outside income but in figuring the adjusted gross income tax exemptions he should get SSOO exemption (line 18) for the same “non-working” wife. If the wife has outside income of more than SSOO, an exemption should be entered for her as SSOO on line 15. If the income was less than SSOO enter the amount of the income. In figuring exemption for working wives under adjusted gross income (line 18), the same formula prevails except the claim is for SI,OOO instead of SSOO since this is on a full year basis. If less than SI,OOO but more than SSOO was earned outside her home by the wife, then the exemption would be the exact amount of that income. Job Nearly Over Once these exemptions are completed—including SSOO for each dependent entered (lines 19-20-21) —and the information transferred back to line 7, the job is just about over. Column “C” serves as a place to subtract the total tax from that already paid or withheld, and indicate the amount of tax still due—or for most taxpayers — the amount of refund coming back to them. However, Courtney warned that about 10 per cent of the W-2 forms which are provided to the employe by the employer have not been attached to the tax returns. And a considerable number of forms sent in to the Department of Revenue have not been signed by the taxpayer and-or his wife, and dated, as requiredi Courtney stressed that the same rules which apply to federal income tax returns also apply to Indiana’s tax returns for the last six months of 1963, but not for the first six monthibefore the new tax system went into effect. He (consoled Hoosiers by remarking that next year’s tax form will be much easier than this one since the entire period will be under adjusted grosk tax {flan.

Proposed Rocket Motor During 1935

By ALVIN B. WEBB Jr. United Press International HOUSTON (UPD — April, 1947, in Moscow. The translated digest of a captured German scientific report reached the desk of the tough old Bolshevik who was then in his 19th year of ruling the Soviet Union. Joseph Stalin, the steel-fisted disciple of Lenin and overseer of purges, was not a man easily awed. But he was fascinated by what he read in that digest. . Stalin ' drdered the document translated from German into Russian. Then he dispatched a three-man team of top agents, including his only son Vassily, to try to kidnap its author. This was the start of one of this century’s most mysterious and confusing stories of scientific intrigue and cloak-and-dagger bungling—one destined to leave a profound effect upon the missile and space programs of both this country and the Soviet Union. The final chapter was written this month in an almost routine obituary that showed up under a Berlin dateline: “Dr. Eugen Saenger . . . died today of a heart attack. He was 58.” The death notice almost went unnoticed in the United States, save for the scientific fraternity. In his obscurity, however, Eugen Saenger stands as a prophet without honor. Some of the most daring and ambitious programs on both sides of the Iron Curtain had their birth in the brain of this singularly, brilliant and imaginative scientist. Eugen Saenger, a native of Czechoslovakia, was an engineer extraordinaire. At the age of 30, he was trying to develop a rocket motor with a thrust of 220,000 pounds — and making headway. A That was in 1935. Twelve years later, U.S. experts would criticize such a project a foolish conjecture. Twenty -two years later, the Americans would be trying to build one. But Saenger grasped an inadvertent hold on fame when, in the death throes of World War 11, he collaborated with mathematician Irene Bredt in Germany to produce a scientific document, several hundred pages long and labeled simply the “Saenger-Bredt Report." The Nazis stamped it “state secret” and distributed about 80 copies which the recipients were to keep in a “locked steel safe in rooms which are guarded 24 hours a day.’’ The document, particularly in a day when jet flight was virtually unknown and the biggest rockets were the 200-mile German V2s, was fantastic, Saenger and Bredt laid out detiled plans, in 1944, for a 92-foot winged craft known as an “antipodal bomber.” The' early-day space plane, according to the report, would be launched by rocket on a “skip-glide” path—soaring first» into space and then bouncing back through the atmosphere, like a stone tossed across a pond. Furthermore, Saenger proposed that it be launched on a sled-type runway. Nazi Germany already was beaten, however, and the Saenger antipodal? bomber never got off the drawing boards. The point that apparently hit Josef Stalin hardest, in the three copies of the Saenger report captured by the Russians, was the bomb load of 660 pounds at non-stop ranges of more than 6,000 miles. Sixlhundred-sixty pounds of TNT would not be worth the effort. But a nuclear payload this size is something ’ else

I again—perhaps the equivalent of 500,000 tons of TNT. And i Russia, in 1947, was on the verge of developing nuclear firepower • Stalin dispatched son’ Vassily, Lt. Col. Gregory A. Tokayeff . and a Colonel Sedov to get Saenger and bring Jhlm back to to Russia “m voluntarycompulsory manner.” Saenger and Irene Bredt, whom he later, would marry, were In Paris aft the time, helping the French in scientific studies that would pay off in development of a research rocket called "veronlque." Saenger’s whereabouts, at least among the scientific fraternity, did not appear to be a secret. Yet, after several months, the younger Stalin and his cohorts failed to take him to Moscow. Still, the Russians apparently did make good use of their copies of the Saenger' report. Some of their earliest intercontinental missiles had unmanned, nuclear-tipped versions of the skip-glide bomber. And quite likely, the cosmonaut-carrying Vostok spaceships drafted some of its technology from the document. - -— For its own part, the United States used Saenger’s report to fair advantage, principally in development of plans for an orbiting space botnber called “Dyna-Soar.” Dyna-Soar died last year, the victim of a budgetary ax. But America’s spacecraft of the future are going to have to develop wings—and they probably will not be far different from the ones proposed 20 years ago by Dr. Eugen Saenger.
