A second gross-income tax withholding bill with bi-partisan sponsorship will be introduced in the House today or tomorrow, It will be introduced by Rep. James Hunter, East Chicago Democrat, and Rep, Walter Acker, the Evansville Republican who just this week returned from Navy duty in Korean waters. __The new measure differs from “the blll introduced yesterday by Rep. Ralph W. Myers, Anderson Democrat, in that it will exempt the first $1000 of wages or salary _ the withholding provision rather than pro rate the exemption over each pay period. Rep. Hunter, who led the unsuecessful fight for this bill two years ago, says the new measure will make it easier for employers to compute the amount of tax to be withheld and also will eliminate many refunds that may be necessary under the other plan. In co-sponsoring the bill, Rep.

S10 Weekly Payment

Isadore Levine, president of the Westville board, called for passage of a bill requiring payment of $10 a week for care of patients. He said it would bring in $100,000 a week to help lessen the state's financial burden. : Mr. Levine warned that unless the hospital's $4.5 million appropriation was doubled, completion of the institution will take two years longer. Regarding the flood of requests from state departments for addi-| tional appropriations, Sen. Ken-| dall said: “With four ‘weeks of the -legis-| ldture past, we are now nearing the zero hour. There isn’t a de-| partment which hasn't made a request in the last week because of competent help leaving in droves. “It's a problem of whether the| people of Indiana are willing to pay the bill.
