Seek Permanent tax Relief Plan INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Indiana AFL-CIO President Dallas Sells said Tuesday that the organization would oppose a plan to prqvide property tax relief in the first 10 days of the 1967 General Assembly unless a plan for permanent relief is included. Sells said that no formal talks have been held with legislators from either party on the plan generally given approval by Republican members of the new House. He said the AFL-CIO has held discussion with some party leaders, adding that the group will “encourage” legislators in opposition tq the bill. “Proposals for local option taxes,” he said, “would merely aggravate the tax of those communities now overburdened by property tax levels.” He said the organization believes that at least half the cost of secondary education in public schools should be provided by the property tax and that $300 million should be added to the BChool appropriation. “We believe the surplus should be used for the teacher retirement fund and for mental health programs,” he said. Sells said also that the union would support a proposal to allow 18-year-olds to vote. “We feel that if our society judges them to be qualified to carry the military burden, they are equally qualified to help make the decisions that affect that society.’'

Man Sentenced To Life Term SOUTH BEND UPI — John Frederick Thomas, 23, South Bend, was sentenced to life imprisonment for kidnaping and robbing a MKshawaka filling station attendant of $60 last Aug. 17. Judge F. Kenneth Dempsey of St. Joseph Superior Court sentenced Thomas and expressed regret that he oould not give a •imilar term to William D. Jacobs, 24, South Bend, also charged in the kidnap-robbery. The state dismissed kidnap charges against Jacobs and Dempsey could sentence him to no more than 10-25 years. But the judge told Jacobs “you should be permanently put away.” He said Jacobs is “an habitual criminal,” and he doubted the wisdom of the prosecutor in dismissing the kidnap charge. Thomas contended he was innocent of kidnaping Charles D. Green, 22, who was driven to an adjoining county and released unharmed but stripped of his clothing. He said he was not even at the filling station. Jacobs also contended Thomas "had nothing to do with this.” But Dempsey said Thomas presented no defense at his trial and gave authorities a statement after his arrest which left no doubt in the court’s mind that he was involved.

DIAMOND DREAM It is safe to say, that virtually every woman dreams of owning fine diamond jewelry. This most luxurious of all gifts is actually within reach of even a modest budget. In our store, for example, there are many lovely diamond-set pieces at $100 or less. And the “pricelessness” of diamond possession is just as real whether it is a single small stone or a blazing extravaganza. Most important, is that small diamonds be skillfully cut for maximum brilliance. A gold pin or pendant with a single small diamond can be a thrilling treasure for a woman of any age. Small diamond earrings, especially for those with pierced ears, are another excellent gift idea. This is a very special favorite with the young set. A fine strand of pearls gains new life with a diamond clasp or clip, and a diamond-studded watch is a far less expensive idea than you might think. The glamour of a bracelet with a few bright diamonds can give a big thrill of delight for a very modest price. Leisure in which to select your purchase is important when you are shopping for something so precious. For that reason, and also because our stocks are ample right now, we urge you to come in early before the busy holiday season. Through our standing in the American Gem Society, a na-tion-wide organization of only 1,000 select jewerly firms, you can be sure of the diamond you choose, regardless of size or price. The most important thing we sell is satisfaction.

Farm Delegates Pass Resolutions LAS VEGAS, Nev. UPI — A series of more than 100 resolutions dealing with such issues as taxation and agricultural marketing passed their first tests without opposition at the 48th annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation. In the traditional session where the resolutions committee opens its meetings to hear complaints about its proposals, none of the 7,000 delegates registered protests. Miost of the resolutions are critical of the federal government's role in farming. Carl Emmpie, a Sunday school teacher from Cochranville, Pa., told the delegates the United States was “going down hill” and the farmer was the group that was going to save the country. “There is no one closer to God than the farmer,” he told the meeting. “The fight today is not East against West, Negro against white, Democratic against Republican or North against South. It is God against anti-God.” He received loud applause after his presentation. Resolutions earlier had called on delegates to join in the fight to eliminate government controls on agriculture. The committee called on the new Congress to cut billions of dollars from domestic programs, including farm subsidies in an effort to halt inflation. It said a tax increase before a cut in government spending would “worsen the situation.”

[Foreign News Commentary

By George Sibera PARIS UPI—France’s hopes to unfreeze the deadlocked problem of German unity through improved contacts with Moscow seemed to have received a jolt when Soviet Premier Alexi N. Kosygin pronounced the East German frontier untouchable. Kosygin did so last week in an unscheduled speech at a city hall reception in which he attacked an alleged resurgence of Nazism in West Germany, France’s ally. Kosygin’s attack was a deliberate violation of the diplomatic propriety which says that no visiting statesman should make an open attack on a third party. President Charles de Gaulle is known to have tried hard to convince Kremlin leaders they had nothing to fear from the West German government. De Gaulle did so during his Moscow visit last June, despite the fact that West Germany had failed to respond to France’s wooing, remaining closely aligned to the United States. High sources said De Gaulle made a new—but apparently vain—attempt to budge the Soviets from their mistrust of Bonn’s policies in talks with Kosygin. Allied diplomatic sources said Kosygin’s attack on West Germany showed that Moscow did not expect the new government of Chancellor Kurt-Georg Kiesinger to become more amenable to Soviet foreign policy

views. Informants also saw Kosygin’s attack as an attempt to disturb French - West German relations and give a helping hand to the current French Communist party campaign designed to rekindle the mistrust of the Germans dormat in French public opinion. Thanks to postwar efforts both in Paris and in Bonn this mistrust has all but disappeared, especially since the conclusion of the 1963 FrenchGerman cooperation treaty. This treaty, while failing to lead to a close political partnership, has sparked steady cooperation in the educational and cultural fields with tens of thousands of students crossing the Rhine in both directions each year to learn the two languages and cultures. Although De Gaulle has failed to swing Bonn behind his foreign policy views, he is known to be determined to abide by the requirements of the pact to hold twice-yearly consultations with his Bonn partners. Diplomatic quarters said that Kiesinger and his Foreign Minister Willy Brandt would visit De Gaulle late this month. For some Frenchmen Kosygin’s public attack at West Germany was a blatant violation of hospitality rules. They wondered what would have been the Soviet leader’s reaction if De Gaulle, during his Kremlin visit last summer, had assailed Communist East Germany in public.
