BOARD-T0 SCAN
48.8 Cents Level.
A proposed county tax rate of 488 cents a $100 of taxable property for 1946 was to be considered at another county tax adjustment board hearing today. The rate is 5.8 cents above this year's and it does not appear likely the figure will be reduced: materially, Meanwhile, city department heads ‘have been asked by the board to reduce their 1946 budgets further, : At last night's meeting, the board approved a civil city tax rate of $1579 a $100 of taxable property —highest in Indianapolis history— with the explanation that even this rate will not be sufficient to
meet ‘budgetary needs.
“Totals $10 Million While the rate is the same as this year—with the addition of a mandatory 10 cents for slum clearance—~the actual amounts are not the same. This year’s total is approximately $10,344,000, while the 1046 total is approximately $11,775,000. The difference is explained by higher estimates of miscellaneous income during 1946, especially from parking meters. These estimates are not accurate, in the opinion®of Larry Parsons of the city controller's office and F. C. Albershardt, tax board chairman. Taxpayers’. association representatives also have expressed this belief. Result will be, they fear, that the city will find itself unable to meet its budget needs next year, unless further cuts are made. ‘Live Within Budgets’ City Council President John Schumacher warned that city depart ment heads will have to “live within their budgets. “We have had 71 appropriation ordinances this year—at least 50 too many,” he declared. Changing conditions or improper estimates prompt department heads to go be-

fore the eouncil for additional funds, from time to time. Mr, Schumacher said he felt the budget was “safe,” however, provided individual amounts were not exceeded. Legal restrictions do not permit the tax board from hiking the rate to assure sufficient money. Taxpayers still may appeal to the state tax board for a rate reduction from the approved rate of $1.579. However, the 10-cent item for slum clearance by the Indianapolis redevelopment commission, according to action by the last legislature, is not subject to tax board review the first

‘Inconveniences.” -
TOKYO, Sept. 20 (U. P,).—Premier Prince Naruhiko Higashi-EKuni invited foreign missionaries in Tokyo to his official residence today and personally apologized for their “inconveniences and unpleasant experiences” during the war, according to the “Tokyo Shimbun,” newspaper. The ‘premier expressed the hope that the missionaries would remain in Japan and co-operate toward uplifting what he described as the “severely deteriorated morality” of the Japanese people. Higashi-Kuni said that one of the major tasks facing the world is the removal of hatred incurred against the enemy during the war, on the basis of the spirit that all peoples of the world should love each other.

REVENUE POST
Will H. Smith’s Successor Judge Minton’s Friend.
F. Shirley Wilcox, New Albany theater chain manager, will succeed Will H. Smith here as Indiana internal revenue collector. He was nominated for the post yesterday by President Truman. Mr. Wilcox said he didn't anticipate any immediate personal changes in the Indianapolis internal revenue office. A close associate of Federal Judgh Sherman (Shay) Minton, Mr, Wilcox, who is 50, has been active in Democratic political affairs, but has never before held public office, He's an active American Legionnaire. Since 1925 he’s managed the southern Indiana interests of the Switow Theater Co. of Louisville, operating three movie theaters in New Albany, Minton Sponsor Federal Judge Minton reportedly was the power chiefly instrumental in engineering Mr. Wilcox’s selection. As U. 8. Senator from Indiana in the late thirties, Judge Minton once before tried to displace Mr. Smith but failed when Henry Morgenthau, then secretary of the treasury, intervened. Thus the Smith ouster movement was launched immediately after Fred M. Vinson took over the treasury . secretaryship from Mr, Morganthau. Mr. Wilcox presumably had the indorsement of both State Chairman Fred Bays and National Committeeman Frank McHale, leaders of opposing Democratic, factions. However, Judge Minton's rumored role in the proceedings is believed to have averted any serious patronage tiff between the two Democratic chiefs over choice of Smith's successor, Active Civie Leader Mr. Wilcox's nomination, guided by Democratic National Chairman Robert Hannegan, went, through the regular Democratic national committee channels. Mr. Wilcox is a member of the board of directors of New Albany radio station WGRC, was chairman of that city’s Chamber of Commerce industrial committee, held the chairmanship of the Floyd county war finance committee for theaters, and served on the Floyd county selective service board. He's a member of the Masonic lodge and the Episcopal church. Mr. Smith, revenue collector since 1933, has not yet announced future plans.
WOMAN POSES AS MAN FOR 16 YEARS
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20 (U. P). —Miss Frances Orlando, who masqueraded as a man for 16 years, was being held today on suspicion of robbery after police unmasked her in a routine check for draft cards. “I'm 36, T do a man’s work as a fruit picker and I don't think I hurt anyone,” Miss Orlando told police. She first gave her name as Ted Jensen, but a driver's license carried the name Frances Orlando. 8o convinecing was her costume-—leather jacket and jeans with a G. I. haircut—that a police matron at first refused to admit her to the women's department, Miss Orlando told police that she had “married” a girl in Sacramento, Cal, two years ago, while posing As a man. After two weeks together, they had the marriage annulled.
