fRule On Sales Tax Exemption INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Mon-ey-raising efforts such as Girl Scout cookie campaigns, church bake sales and Parent-Teacher Association candy projects are exempt from Indiana’s two per cent sales tax when they are held no more often than twice

a year.

This was the fine-line distinction which the Indiana Department of Revenue made in a ruling today on the tax application to non-profit organizations. Ernest Schnippel, the sales tax administrator, and Alex Ingram, deputy commissioner, explained that in general non-profit groups

are not exempt from payment of sales taxes or from collecting the tax on things they sell.

Deal Suspected On Civil Rights WASHINGTON UPI — Two Republican senators suspect the Johnson administration may have agreed to weaken the civil rights bill in a deal for southern support to continue excise taxes. Sens. Thruston B. Morton, Ky., and Hugh Scott, Pa., suggested Sunday that while southern Democrats held fast during Senate debate against repeal of taxes on items such as luggage and cosmetics, Southerners in the House put up little fight against the broad civil rights measure. “We all think that means they’ve got a deal brewing in the Senate with the administration,’’ Scott said in a radio and television interview. “We don’t know w'hat the deal is, but we are very suspicious that it’s something to weaken the civil rights bill.” Morton added that it was the only way he could “account for the fact that southern Democrats voted solidly to retain these taxes.’’ He said that friends in the retail business had assured him they had “definite commitments’’ from five southern senators to vote with Republicans on repeal of the taxes during debate of the $11.6 billion tax cut bill. The bill, banning discrimination in voting, employment, education, public accommodations and use of federal funds w'as expected to be taken up in the Senate late this month or early in March.

Demand Jurors, Spectators Search DALLIS UPI — Jack Ruby’s lawyers, challenging “The climate of Dallas,’’ demanded at the start of his murder trial today that jurors as well as spectators be searched. Judge Joe B. Brown rejected the defense demand as w r ell as defense requests for a directed verdict of acquittal an grounds of insanity and double jeopardy. Ruby, smiling cheerfully entered the court through a little green door and took his seat. His

sister, Mrs. Eva L. Grant, and his brother Earl Ruby of Dettroit, sat among the spectators in the stuffy room. The judge accepted the defense announcement that Tom How’ard of Dallas, the first attorney to come to the aid of the slayer of presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, had withdrawn from the case. Chief defense attorney Melvin Belli and his assistant, J. H. Tonahill, argued with the judge over security arrangements.

Pro-West Leader Elected By Greeks ATHENS, Greece UPI — Staunchly pro-Western George Papandreou, who favors a peaceful settlement with Turkey of the Cyprus problem, swept to a landslide victory today in Greece’s second election in three months. Sources close to the 76-year-old Center Union party leader said his paramount concern as new head of government would be to avoid any clash with Turkey over Cyprus which would harm the NATO alliance. The landslide proportions of the liberal victory were unexpect and ushered in a radically new Greek political situation. The conservatives have run the country since the end of World War II and until last fall except for a short interval in the early 1950s.
