Gates Favors Cigarette Tax

FUNDS URGED |

FOR PROPOSED

HEALTH WORK

Governor Eyes Revenue as Means of Financing Long-Range Plan.

Governor Gates said today he would approve a tax on cigarettes to finance a long range health program for Indiana. He expressed belief proceeds of such a tax, ranging from one to five cents a pack, should be distributed partly to state agencies and partly to local units, “Indiana needs a long-range health program,” he sald, “and that

is too big a proposition to be fin. |" anced out of cufrent tax revenues. |

“The actual proposal of a cig-

wo ALette tax would have fo come from ag oe rye EHV ewth Coup :

defi wold opescet. “Dr. sLeRoy Burney, state sit commissioner, said a one-cent tax in Indiana would raise in the neighborhood of $2,000,000 annhally. . Governor Gates said the present $55,000,000 balance in the state treasury could not be used for the health program because it ‘must be maintained to protect our educational and other institutions.” Under Indiana's constitution, the state cannot go into debt and there-

fore must maintain a reserve for

emergency fnanei financing.

Miss Carpenter was nervous and her temper short. She had agreed fo talk briefly with reporters in the airport dining room, but became upset when photographers snapped numerous pictures as she and the children walked from the customs office. A hostess said she had not eaten any solid food during the entire trip, and had not napped as had the other passengers. The children, who were described as “good kids,” by hostesses, became restive while waiting for customs agents to inspect their baggage, and began crying. When Miss Carpenter reached the dining room, she lost control, “I can't stand any more of this” she screamed, and turned to Thompson's attorney, Sam Keller of Pittsburgh, who had been at the airport to meet her. Looks Like Father

‘He hurried her to a waiting taxicab with Thompson's first cousin,

much like the pictures of the baby’s father, When photographers tried to snap pictures of her in the cab “she pleaded: “Please leave me alone.” Keller said Miss Carpenter and Thompson would wed next week. They have not obtained a license vet because Pennsylvania law requires a blood test of both principals, and a three-day wait after application, Attract World’s Attention Miss Carpenter and Thompson attracted worldwide attention when on Feb, 27, 1944, she gave birth to quadruplets, two girls and two boys, at Heanor, England.’ She had met and fallen in love with Thompson a year before when he visited the pub where she worked as a barmaid. Thompson admitted immediately that he was the father of the chil"dren and said he wanted to marry their mother as soon as he could get a divorce from his wife In Pitts burgh. One of the baby boys, MacDonald, died five days after he was born, Meanwhile, Thompson's = wife, Eleanor, whom he married Nov, 11, 1941, announced that she would not give him a divorce because of her religion.
