SOCIETY

PHOTOGRAPHER SPEAKS P i TO WOMAN’S CLUB Monday evening, Lawrence An-t spaugh of Anspaugh Studios, pre-£ ; sented to the Woman’s club an in-E ■ teresting program on the use of? portraits and snapshots in home"] decoration. He opened the pro-fc gram by saying that it was time; ; to get pictures out of boxes andc j books and to put them out they can be seen and enjoyed." . Ten years ago interior decorators; ■ said portraits should not be dis-j. played in the living room. They: i have now come to realize that if . properly displayed, portraits and j snapshots add warmth to a home. Anspaugh showed a set of slides made by Eastman Kodak that illustrated the ways that pic- 1 tures could be displayed in the ' different rooms of the home. Several Victorian era living rooms with their cluttered look were_first shown. Pictures were everywhere. Anspaugh said they weren’t suggesting that people go back to those days, and then went on to show how pictures can be displayed in modern homes. Pic- : tures in different homes and sizes were shown in groups and alone in various settings. A brief business meeting followed the program. In April a spring musical will be presented by the music department.

Filing of the suit on behalf • of Robert E. Steele, Hillside, 111., rounded out court Challenges of every major tax imposed by the 1963 Legislature in its historic 101-day session. The suit in Marion Circuit Court attacked the validity of a clause forcing Steele’s employer, Spector Freight Systems Inc., Hillside, to withhold the Indiana tax from 25 per cent of his salary because Steele drives about one-fourth of his mileage on Hoosier roads. While it involves only one section of the law, the suit could open the way for a court test on the constitutionality of the entire act which repealed the 1933 Indiana Gross Income Tax law. Atty. Gen. Edwin K. Steers has been quoted in the past as saying the law which was passed hurriedly during the closing hours of the special session of the legislature last March and April was so written that it poses many constitutional questions. The 1963 Legislature also enacted a two per cent sales tax

Aid Is Increased To South Viet Nam WASHINGTON (UPI) — The United States is staking its hopes of saving Southeast Asia from the Communists on South Viet Nam's pledge to use stepped up American aid - possibly as much as SSO million worth — in a plan to clear the Red-infested Mekong Delta. The White House announced the increase in economic and military aid to. South Viet Nam Tuesday after President Johnson met with the National Security Council to hear a detailed report on the staus of the long and bloody war against the Communist Viet Cong guerrillas. The present rate of aid to South Viet Nam is $1.5 million a day. The President and the council heard a report from Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and Gen. Maxwell D. ® Taylor, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who returned last week from Saigon. Admitting that there have "unquestionably bee set backs” in the war, the White House blamed two factors: increased shipments of arms and men to the Viet Cong, and the confusion created by the changes in government in South Viet Nam.

PROPOSES (Continued from Page One) to the variance cannot be transferred with sale of the business, or even given to someone else. Harper explained that the original petition, when the taxi company was located on Third street, was for off-street parking, not for a taxi company; when it was learned what the purpose of the request was, it was rejected, since authorizing the parking would not authorize use of the property as a taxi service location. The present aplication, under consideration, is for a proper variance; that is why. it is different fro mthe original request on Third street. Also, members of the council made it known that stringent requirements for taxi companies is under consideration to protect the interests of the people of Decatur if it is necessary to change the existing law.
