Arguments on a petition for a temporary injunction which would prevent the State from enforcing the Indiana truck tire tax law will be heard in Federal Court July 7. The suit, filed yesterday by Ralph Tilley, 218 E. 1tOh St. attacks the| constitutionality of the much-dis-| puted law and also seeks a perma-| nent injunction against its enforce- | ment. If Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell denies the temporary injunction, a three-judge tribunal is expected to hear evidence in deciding on the permanent injunction. In the suit Mr. Tilley, who named the State Treasury Department and State officials as defendants. said he filed the action not only for himself as a truck owner but for other truckers to prevent a multiplicity of suits.

Calls Fees Arbitrary

The suit alleges the tax places a burden on interstate commerce as the license fee charged is greater

than the cost of building and maintaining roads and regulating and policing traffic. The fees, it is alleged, are “arbitrary impositions which are unjust, unfair and unreasonable” because they are not based on the wear and tear on highways and are not apportioned properly between interstate and intrastate traffic. The act violates the 14th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the suit states, because it exempts one and two-wheel trailers which can be used for purposes similar to those for which the trucks are used. The trailers, the suit maintains, constitute a greatér hazard to traffic and injury to the road and it is claimed their exemption to the tax is discriminatory and will induce their further use to evade taxes.

Nearly 100 Already Slated

The deadline for paying the tax) expired last Tuesday and more than

half of the truck owners still have to pay their taxes, according to state officials. There have been nearly! 100 arrests made since that time for failure to pay the tax. The Indiana State Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the law last February. It was brought into Federal jurisdiction on the! grounds that the act interferes with | interstate commerce. | The tax, which ranges from $2 to 75 a truck, based on the size of the! tires used, is expected to bring an annual revenue of more than $1. 000,000 from the 130,000 truck own- | ers in the Ls I

P). —United States exports increased 8 per cent in May and imports rose 9 per cent to give the country an ex- | port trade balance of $46. 157.000 | during the month, the Commerce Department reported today.

BACKS MOVE TO END OWN STATE DIVISION

BOSTON, June 27 (U.P) —The Legislative Ways and Means Committee, hearing Governor Saltonstall's recommendation that the Division of Naturalization and Amerfcanism be abolished, was astonished | yesterday when Dr. Helen I. Me-| Gillicuddy, $3500-a-vear director of the division, appeared as a proponent. | When the incredulous committee | chairman asked, “You are in favor?” she replied: “I am, solely as, an economy measure, since the Gov- | ernor recommends it’
