Pollution Os Air Difficult Problem

NEW YORK (UPD — While the smoking population and its doc to. s con'inue to debate and study the effect of tobacco upon health, less numerous groups have under constant scrutiny other conditions affecting the ar which man must breathe. Smoking is an individual matter; he who smokes can avoid the intake of tobacco-scented air by giving up the smoking habit. But the city-dweller living in a traffic-laded area;, sometimes the workman in a factory, or families living near industrial areas are not always able to exercise their own control over the alien substances in the air they breathe, even those known to be harmiul. Exhaust Fumes Controls Among the latest announced measures to control the cleanliness of air on a broad scale was the action of the California Motor Vehicle Pollution Control Board, in announcing approval of four pieces of equipment to control auto • exhaust fumes. The approvals climaxed years of study in California, and was perhaps the major positive step made recently by any sta'e in coping with the air pollution problem. Nearly a third of the state governments have programs to deal with air pollution but like most local bodies in the same field, the layouts are limited in scope. As of last August, 33 states replying to a questionnaire from a U.S. Senate public works committee reported that they had air polluExcise, Debt Limit Bills Before Senate WASHINGTON (UPD — The Senate was set today to extend $1.9 billion in excise taxes for another year and raise the temporary national debt limit to a record $324 billion. Both bills were approved Wednesday by the Senate Finance Committee. They were moved up for Senate action with the legislative logjam was broken by passage of the civil rights bill. In approving the tax extension, the Finance Committee took one surprise action. It proposed that retail excise levies on jewelry, furs, luggage handbags and cosmetics be converted to manufacturers’ taxes. The Senate was expected to go along with the move. Sen Eugene McCarthy, IlMinn., proposed the conversion rather than junk the taxes on these items as suggested by Senate Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen, 18. The solution was acceptable to Dirksen. Senate approval of the plan would put the matter up to Senate - House conferees. The house, in passing the excise tax extension bill, resisted a GOP move to eliminate the 10 per cent retail taxes. The Treasury was reported to be still urging that the levies be retained at the retail level. 4

tion control laws. But this committee, in its repo, t issued late in 1963. said that ’’across the nation, the problem of air pollution grows ever more serious. Current efforts by industry and government . . . are meeting with only limited success?’ , Meeting In Convention This week, the Air Pollution Control Association has been meeting in convention at Houston. Texas. Reports there reemphasized the seriousness of the problem, pa.ticularly to the city dweUer although air poßution difficulties are not restrained by city limits. Dr. P. Gross, of the Industrial Hygiene Foundation. Pittsburgh, said experimental evidence supports a view that urban air poßution “is a significant factor in the causation of lung cancer.” Three research men from the University of Chicago Medical School said they caused lung cancer in laboratory hams’ers with the use of heavily poßuted air. Award Leases For --y?. '' ' a Toll Road Stations SOUTH BEND. Ind. (UPD— The Indiana Toll Read Commission Wednesday awarded new < leases for operation of service stations along the sta’e’s only pay-as-you-go route which general manager Robert TiDett said would mean an additional million dollars in revenue. The leases were awarded for a period of 5 years, 7 months, beginning July 1 at a meeting in the toB road’s administration building here. The new contracts, which were based on the per gallon revenue the state is to receive, were increased an estimated $200,000 a year. Gulf Oil Co. received the contract for service area 5, replacing Cities Service Co., and Cities Service Co. got the contract for area 8, replacing Shen Oil Co. Contracts were renewed for Sinclair Oil Co. at Area 1, Pure OB Co. at area 3, and Texaco Oil Co. at area 7. The commission received a progress report showing that the Bums Harbor interchange well ahead of schedule. Also, work on removing a bottle-neck at the intersection of Ind-39 and U.S. 20 near the LaPorte interchange should be completed within the “next several weeks," they were advised. Other contracts awarded by the commission included one for furnishing and applying herbicide for 1964-65, to Chemi-Trol Chemical Co., Gibsonbur, Ohio, on its low bid of $13,181; for crushed gravel to Stone-Street Gravel Inc., Angola, for $8,250; for slag used in asphalt resurfacing to Rieth-Riley Construe- , tion Co., Goshen, for $9,800; for a pumping and sprinkling truck to International Harvester Co., South Bend, $7,154, and for a portable air compressor, Panke Machinery Corp.. Indianapolis, $3,960.

Peace Corps Test Scheduled July 11 At 830 a.m. Saturday, July 11, the U.S. civil service commission will give the peace corps placement test in room 103 of the Federal building in Fort Wayne. “There are questionnaires at the post office right now. You should fill one out before taking lhe test. “The test tells the peace corps all about your aptitudes. “The questionnaire tells all about you: “If you are interested in two of the most rewarding years of your life—helping the people of underdeveloped nations, learning of their culture and society—in the Far East, Africa, Latin America, or the Near East, give the test a whirl. “Are you 18 years old? Or 68? “Were you brought up on a farm? Have you done vocational work? Do you teach or are you a liberal arts major? “Are you a doctor or an auto mechanic? “Are you a welder or a math major? "Your skill could be the one they are looking for. “Your post office has the questionnaire. “You can take the peace corps placement test at 8:30 a.m., Saturday, July 11. “It can be your date with destiny!” State Tax Refunds Near Completion INDIANAPOLIS (UP I»—State Auditor Dorothy Gardner said today that aB gross income tax refunds and aU reimbursements to persons paying the Marion County wheel tax will be written by Saturday night “at the latest.” „ _ This represents approximately 340,000 checks which were added to the regular workload of the auditor’s office. Mrs. Gardner accompanied her announcement with a defense of her earlier decision to instaß National Cash Register computers in her department rather than tae International Business Machines equipment used by Central Data Processing Division. „ “I think we have been completely justified' in the decision we made about computers because none of the difficulty we have had has been due to computer failure;” she said. She referred to the fact that paychecks for 3,600 employees, including Governor Welsh, were delayed four. days. “The combination of sandblasting. stopped-up drains, failure of departments to get their payrolls in on time and a tremendubus increase in the work load resulted in the delays,” she explained. “However, we still feel that our objective of saving tax money has been achieved.” She said that her original estimate of savings had been $50,000 annually but that this would be reduced by extra costs. The auditor’s employes have worked nights on Ihe IBM equipment of Central Data processing on refund checks in addition to man-

Beat Off Major Slash In Aid

WASHINGTON (UPD — The House Appropriations Committee lined up behind President Johnson today to beat off a major cut in the administration’s $3.5 billion foreign aid program. The lawmakers rejected a $515 million cut in economic aid demanded by Rep. Otto E. Passman, D-La., chairman of the foreign aid appropriations subcommittee and a long time critic of the program. ■?' Instead, the full committe voted to cut S2OO mfllion from the biß —a reduction Passman brushed off as merely a token ’ slash which would cause no real inconvenience to the administration. 4-H Junior Leaders Attend Conference Eleven Adams county junior leaders, who wHI return Friday from the state junior leader conference at the Indiana 4-H club center near Lafayette, got their first lesson in responsibility and privileges of community citizenship before they left Tuesday! The group met at the post office building, and were supposed to leave by bus at 6:30 a.m. But somebody at the bus company in Huntington goofed — and no buses were scheduled anywhere in the district that day! County agent Ernest Lesiuk and county home agent Patsy Lee Leaders, were at the county 4-H camp, and did not know about the mistake. • Finally, about 10:30 o’clock one of the 4-H youths, Gary Clouse, drove part of the group, and Decatur real estate broker William Schnepf, who had two daughters going, sent his station wagon, with county extension secretary Mrs. Dorothy Thompson driving. J Lesiuk, who returned from camp late yesterday, stated that h® had checked this morning and there wiß be buses to bring the youths back to Decatur Friday. He deeply regretted the inconvenience to the youths, he stated, but it was general through the whole ten-county area. The youths who attended were chosen by the county 4-H council on their records of achievement as 4-H members and junior leaders. The program was planned to help junior leaders have a better .understanding of their responsibility and privilege to use their abilities as leaders to make thel community in which they Uve a better ope. ’The junior leaders attending from Adams county are Linda Hawbaker, Rita, King, Sally and Betsy Sohnepf, Jo y e Strouse, Gary Clouse, Don Egley, Bob Kirchhofer, Steven Strouse, Phil Isch, and Jerry Selking. ning the National Cash Register computers in the auditor’s quarters. The wheel tax refund checks totaled about 160,000, and the gross income tex refunds about 180,000.

Passman said he would take his battle to the House floor, where he conceivably could turn his defeat into a victory. This time, however, he will be opposed by Rep. George H. Mahon, D-Tex., the new chairman of the powerful appropriations committee, and even a majority of his own foreign aid subcommittee. ' Aid supporters disputed Passman's claim that the ‘proposed S2OO million reduction was only a token cut, but they said the administration won an important victory in keeping the reduction that low. The committee cut $l4O million from the administration’s $922 million request for development loans to help America’s poorer Allies and friends abroad improve their econorrres. The lawmakers also whittled S4O million off the $550 million Alliance for Progress program for Latin America. A S2O million reduc’ion was ordered in the $224 million re- z quest for development grants, the old “Point Four” program, which includes technical cooperation. In addition, the committee voted a sl9 million cut in the Peace Corps budget. The corps had asked for $lO6 million. Johnson’s $1 billion military aid request, including funds for the anti-Communist, war in South Viet Nam, was left untouched. 72-Year-Old Woman Claims Flight Mark NEW YORK (UPI) — Some of her fellow passengers on the big jet thought grandma was just a little “teched.” And she didn’t even tell the neighbors in Hopatcong, N.J. beforehand what she was up to. So, Mrs. John Hirschberg, at 72, flew around the world in 57 hours and 52 minutes to claim a record for the fastest round-the-world flight ever made by . an American womah. She made the flight, sKe said, so that “one day my grandchildren can tell their children.” "By that time,” she continued, “they’ll be landing on the moon. “I’m game for a moon flight too. I may be in my 80’s before that’s possible. But what have I got to lose?” Anna Hirschberg is a chipper little woman, she’s five feet tell. She had circle the globe once before —a cruise on a freighter in 1956. "That was around the world in 80 days,” she said, in an interview. On that trip she had visited every city except one that she covered in her most recent trip. The one exception was Saigon, Viet Nam, and she recalled today that when the pilot took the plane off from Saigon Airport he told the passengers, “We’ll climb rapidly. We were shot at once here.” Mrs. Hirschberg’s trip began a week ago Tuesday on Pan American World Airways Flight Number Two on its run from New York eastward back to San Francisco, byway of London, Frankfurt, Vienna, Istanbul, Beirut, Karachi, Bangkok, Saigon, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Honolulu. She boarded American Airlines Flight 18 for the final U.S. leg of the trip from San Francisco to the John F. Kennedy Airport in New York last Friday. She outlasted a total of seven flight crews. Her time for the flight, a total of 22.746 miles counting the San Francisco-New York run, bettered a record claimed by Sue Snyder, 26, of Chicago, who in 1960 made a Pan Am around-the-world flight in 62 hours .and. 58.. minutes. Mrs. Hirschberg f said she traveled with no luggage—only a flight bag weighing about five pounds, her passport, (toothbrush, comb and lipstick, and a change of clothes. She didn’t need her passport because she never went beyond the “in transit”' passen

First Lady Visits Mackinac Island DETROIT (UPI) — Mrs. Lyndon B. Johnson Wednesday helped inaugurate “picturephone,” a super-science device that employs the elements of both the telephone and television for person-to-person Communication. But today it’s back to the horse and buggy for the nation’s First Lady. After a 14-hour work day that ended with the greeting of more than 3,000 women in a reception line at the 55th convention of the American Home Economics Association, Mrs. Johnson was to start a 36-hour vacation today on Michigan’s historic Mackinac Island. While on the island she’ll find herself almost totally removed from the fast-moving realities of the 20th century. • ' Though no “pocket of poverty,” Mrs, Johnson will find the island has only two industries — tourism and fudge, the latter being the main commodity sold to the former during the vacation season, which runs just four months. Just to get to the island Mrs. Johnson, who will be accompaznied by only her press secretary, Liz Oarpentef, and several Secret Service men, had to hop a small, commercial, airliner and land 'at Pellston; a town •of 429 people 20 mftes south of the Straits of Mackinac, the five-mile wide waterway connecting Lakes Michigan and Huron. Once on the island Mrs. Johnson will find that in some ways it is little changed from preRevolutionary days when first the French aad then the British governed it. For one thing, the auto is a total stranger to Mackinac Island. The horse and buggy and the bicycle constitute the available forms of transportation. Host to Mrs. Johnson will be W. Stewart Woodfill, the an-tique-loving owner of the famous Grand Hotel. Ernie Banks Clouts 361st Career Homer PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs was tied today with former New York Yankee great Joe DiMaggio in 13th place in total home runs. Banks clouted the 361st home run of his career Wednesday night off Dennis Bennett in the fifth inning of the game with the Phillies. It was his eighth homer of the season.

The heavily publicized defenseman from West Virginia received an estimated sl6,ooorapproximately $2,000 more than he made with the Giants — and a “no trade” clause from Redskin head Coach and General Manager Bill McPeak. Huff had contemplated quitting after the four - player deal last April which sent him to Washington, and was ready to retire as late as Tuesday night.
