State Truckers Open Fight On Any Tax Hikes INDIANAPOLIS <UPD — The .ndiana trucking industry has opened its fight to head off any increase in highway use taxes for trucks during the 1965 Legislature. Truck owners brought their top tax experts before the Commission on State Tax and Financing Policy Wednesday to attack a report on highway taxes prepared for the commission by Dr. James Papke, its fiscal economist. The commission so far has prepared no recommendations for the legislature but Chairman Glenn Sample .scheduled two meetings during the next two weeks to discuss positions the group may take on highway costs and the Indiana sales tax. E. V. Kiley. Washington, director of research and transport economics for the American Trucking Association, led the at-

tack on Papke’s report. The report contained no recommenaauons but Papke maintained mat, on tne basis of relative road use, pa senger cars and pickup trucks should be paying less than they are now wu.ie 'iracto.-trader and other truck combinations should be •fraying more. Kiiey nharged that Papke’s stiiuy “is a superficial and tactually incomplete analysis of highway cost responsibility ... the study relies completely on me outmoded and unsound tonmiie theory of determining proper highway tax responsibility as between various classes or motor vehicles.’’ Papke conceded that the tonmite or weight-distance method of determining what share of mghway co is various types of ■vehicles’-should baie is “not |rerfevt” but said it is “an ajjjiropriate, reasonable and workable approach," Kiley argued that the ton-mile system has “an inherent bias against trucks.” He said the railroads "tried so hard to have the ton-mil<' theory adopted in the states and by the Congress of the United States that in many circles the ton-mile theory became better known as the ‘railroad theory’ of highway taxation.

“The trucking industry in Indiana believes that under the present tax structures it is paying its fair share of highway tax responsibility," Kiley said. Papke said that if the relative uc basis of determining tax resjxinsibility were followed, _ the share from truck combinations would go up 74 per cent while the sha e of passenger cars and pickup trucks would go down 23 per cent. Papke said that at least 10 states, user the ton-niile. theory as one method of figuring the relative u e of- highways and told Kiley “I am suggesting you are a little hard on the tonmile.” “I’m not hard enough,’’ Kiley retorted. “It makes no difference when your throat is cut whether you lose blood out of a a vein or an artery.” Kiley said a U.S. Bureau-of Public Roads survey showed trucks are "paying more than they should” of the cost of highway construction. The study broke down highway costs into right-of-way, drainage and grading, paving and bridges. He said the weight of a vehicle has little to do with any cost except that of pavement and that even if pavements were designed to carry- only passenger cars the cost would still be 60 to 73 per cent of the cost of paving designed for heavier vehicles.

Bunny Boosters PHILADELPHIA (UPI)—Two bunnies from the Playboy Clubs of America will act as mascots for the Philadelphia 76ers in all their remaining National Basketball Association games this season, it was announced today by club owner Ike Richman. The bunnies will wear black jerseys and white shorts. Gilchrist, Still A Bill, Makes Apology UPI Sports Writer BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPD— Cookie Gilchrist promised today to "redeem myself” with the Buffalo Bills after the blockbuster fullback was tossed for the biggest loss of his stormy career. The 251-pound bad boy and leading ground gainer of the American Football League was restored to active duty with the Bills Wednesday night less than 36 hours after he was offered to any team in the circuit willing to pay the SIOO waiver price. Only three of the Bills’ seven rivals had indicated they were interested. Coach Lou Saban restored Gilchrist to good graces when the 29-year old “angry man of pro football” made a complete, abject and public apology to the coach, his teammates and Buffalo fans —the first time the controversial Cookie was forced to crumble to his knees in such fashidn.
