Lawmakers to ‘beef up’ controls

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The political drift—insofar as the 1969 Indiana Legislature is con-cerned-today appeared to be leaning heavily toward more legislative authority. The Indiana Legislative Council, bent now on regaining powers it believes has been usurped by the executive and judicial branches, Wednesday adopted a number of recommendations which bore all earmarks of extending legislative influence. Among these was the adoption of a proposed constitutional amendment which passed the 1967 session calling for annual, rather than biennial, sessions. If this is cleared by the 1969 session and subsequently approved in the next general election, the Indiana General Assembly will see yearly sessions.

As the council explained: also given, following a long dis"The volume of other legislative cussion on a 1961 Supreme business has grown to a point Court ruling. It and various where it is difficult to provide actions by the executive branch

adequate consideration of the legislation introduced in only 61 days every two years.” "An annual session,” the report went on, "would provide more time for public hearings, checking with other elected officials, and more adequately securing the public interest as laws are being passed.” Lawmakers are expected to beef up control over financial decision-making; at least, that is the intent of a 1969 bill which would give the legislative members of the budget committee authority to approve transfer of funds from one agency to another. Council backing on this was

were seen to leave lawmakers with little control over changes in appropriations after the legislature adjourns. "We might just as well appropriate $2 billion dollars in a lump sum and tell the governor to spend it the way he thinks it should be spent,” was one of the complaints. Specific mention was made of Governor Branigin’s action in withholding about $15 million from the Teacher Retirement Fund in a move to prevent the state from going broke. The council also favored a salary hike for Indiana lawmakers who are currently paid $1,800 annually. But no specific

Legislatures face $22.9 million emergency fund

INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — The paramount problem facing the Indiana legislature began to take shape today. The question of financing the public schools, estimated to cost $1.9 billion in the next biennium, will start early with a request for a $22.9 million emergency appropriation to bail out 59 schools who report they cannot obtain enough money to function adequately in this fiscal year and still stay under the legal ceiling on property taxes. Financing public schools for the next biennium probably will be the last major problem before adjournment because the possibility of a tax increase rides with it. Executive Secretary Robert H. Wyatt of the Indiana State Teachers Association said that his organization will seek $950 million in state school support for 1969-71. Wyatt told a news conference Wednesday "I do not believe there is any way (to raise this amount) without a tax increase.” "Several state agencies in addition to the state department of Public Instruction and the ETA are now in the process of developing a formula that will provide Indiana schools with at least 50 per cent support from state non-property tax sources,” Wyatt said. State School Supt. Richard D. Wells confirmed that his staff is working on a new formula under which state support would amount to 50 per cent, but said "we never said next year.” "A goal of the Republican Party is to reach the 50 per cent level of state support in the next four years,” Wells said, "but you are not going to be able to obtain it for the next biennium. You cannot jump from 36 per cent to 50 per cent in one session.” , Wyatt said the "first priority” for the next legislature is to come to the rescue or those schools who followed Governor

Branigin’s advice of July 12 and published tax rates above the $4.95 adjusted maximum set by a 1967 law. Wyatt said that at the time the ESTA had urged Branigin to call a special session, existing information showed a deficit of $20.8 million, but that a newly completed survey by ETA researchers shows the total to now be $22,891,770. A special committee named by .Branigin had advised that an alternative to a special legislative session was to publish a tax levy in excess of the authorized maximum, thus delaying action until the regular session opens next January. Rep. John Mutz, R.Indianapolis, chairman of the Public School Financing Study Committee, said $650 million would be needed to maintain the present percentage of state support— about one-third— and the $530 million appropriated by the 1967 Legislature. Wyatt said that his personal opinion is that an increase in an existing state tax, such as the sales tax, should be considered rather than a new state tax or local option tax. He said that if a one cent sales tax were applied as a local option in Marion County it would produce $104 per child, but in adjoining Johnson County one cent would produce only $30 per child and in some counties only $20. Wyatt said he will ask the ETA at its annual convention Oct. 19 to approve a recommendation to the legislature for a minimum salary of $7,500, compared to the present minimum of $5,200 per year for a beginning teacher with a bachelor’s college degree, set by the 1967 Legislature. Wyatt said a survey to which 230 schools have responded show the average for a beginning teacher with a college degree to be $6,133, at present. Wyatt conceded that Indiana ranks about fifth nationally in the ratio of the 50 states on teacher pay, but he said "our competition is not other states, it is private employment.” The new survey of schools which presumably would be in serious financial trouble if the 1969 Legislature does not make up the difference between their advertised rate and the maxi, mum rate, shows East Gary with the greatest gap in rates, and Gary with the largest money deficit.

Wallace to return to Indiana for campaign address at Evansville

By HORTENSE MYERS

INDIANA?OLE (UPI)—Third party presidential candidate George C. Wallace will return to Indiana next week after a rally in the Hoosier capital Thursday during'' which he promised curtailment of open housing, of certain school integration and of foreign aid. Wallace, with his newly chosen vice presidential candidate, retired Air Force Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, and Mrs. LeMay accompanying him, drew a crowd calculated by most news sources at a little smaller than that which turned out three weeks ago for Richard M. Nixon, the Republican presidential nominee, on the same spot in downtown Indianapolis. LeMay told Indiana Wallace campaign planners he hoped to return later for a couple of speeches in the Hoosier state, but no date has been set. However, Wallace is scheduled to speak in Evansville next Thursday. Nine Indianapolis persons were arrested during the rally as fights broke out between protestors and backers of Wallace but no one was injured. Police kept the conflicts under control and on some occasions formed a cordon around antiWallace picketers, letting them remain on the scene.

By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyst In the nearly three years since the break-away government of Premier Ian Smith declared Rhodesia’s independence from Britain, it has stood steadfastly on one principle: Continued domination of Rhodesia’s 4 million blacks by 250,000 whites. In that same period Britain’s Labor government, led by Prime Minister Harold Wilson, has been equally steadfast in its stand that it could not recognize Rhodesian independence except under a constitution providing eventually for majority black rule. In between have been various steps to bring Rhodesia economically to its knees, including a United Nations Security Council resolution last May imposing a total international embargo on all imports from and exports to Rhodesia. None of this has changed. If anything, the lines have hardened. On March 6, 1968, three Africans convicted of murder were hanged in Salisbury, Rhodesia, in defiance of the

British Privy Council and an order from the queen commuting the sentences to life imprisonment. The break with the British legal system seemed to make establishment of Rhodesia as an independent republic the next natural step. The Gibraltar meeting between Smith and Wilson, therefore, would seem to be an unnecessary exercise in futility. Yet there are other elements which could lead both sides to make one more try at agreement. In December, 1966, Smith and Wilson met aboard the British cruiser Tiger off Gibraltar in the Mediterranean and reached tentative agreement on a sixpoint program of principles which could have led to eventual majority rule in Rhodesia. It broke down under pressure from hard-lining right wingers in Smith's own Rhodesian Front party. Since then there have been other developments. A proposed new Rhodesian constitution has rejected apartheid, strict segregation of the

races, and declared that Rhodesia’s future lies in a non-racial state.

There was no effort to herd the protestors to a side street as had been done in 1964 when President Johnson spoke from the same Soldiers and Sailors Monument steps. Clearly visible to Wallace and LeMay were signs which read "Elect Wallace and Put a Match to America,” "Bigot, Racist, Strongarm Man,” "Did the Jews Want Hitler?” and "Curt LeMay, Nuclear War Today.” The pro-Wallace signs outnumbered the objectors and the Wallace hats, ties, and other campaign material sold at the Wallace for President headquarters splashed the audience with red, white and blue. Open housing was a target of Wallace in his address as he warned that "they can jail you for selling your own home” and objected to "asking some professor with a pointed head for a guideline” about ownership of one’s own home. He also pledged that if elect, ed president, "not one cent of tax money in the next four years is going to be used on busing a child” from one part of a school district to another, a procedure used in some areas to achieve integration. On the subject of the Vietnam war, Wallace proposed that other non-Communist countries be told "you are going to help us and you are going to quit trading with North Vietnam and if you don’t we are going to cut every dime off your foreign aid.” Wallace also said that "when I am president, I am going to ask my attorney general to seek an indictment against any professor in this country calling for a Communist victory.” Pretty girls in Wallace costumes went through the crowd gathering contributions in little barrels. However, there was no sign of Ja-Neen Welch, an Indianapolis woman who formerly had traveled with the Wallace campaign entourage and had collected campaign contributions in a cowboy hat. Mrs. Welch, an advertising agency model and an antique store owner, was dropped from her campaign duties when she started hinting she would like to be the second Mrs. Wallace. Wallace, queried once by an Indianapolis newsman about Mrs. Welch retorted, "Why don’t you ask a sensible question?”
