How About That Charlie?
The voting record of Indiana congressmen on the expulsion of Adam Clayton Powell last Wednesday was interesting to note. Second district congressman Charles. A. Halleck was the only Indiana Republic can to vote against the expulsion. E. Ross Adair of Fort Wayne voted for his expulsion. as did John Brademas of South Bend. Perhaps one could excuse Brademas for following party lines, but not Halleck.

The state basketball champs will be crowned before the month is over and thoughts will turn to track and to baseball before too many more weeks have passed. This is'national procrastination week, a week to promote the idea of taking things easy and putting off until tomorrow whatever needn’t be done today. Andrew Jackson, James Madison. Grover Cleveland and John Tyler were Presidents who were born in March. March 17 is Camp fire Girls Founders Dav with national Campfire week being March 19-25.
Hitler In Havana
Fidel Castro has now completed his eighth vear as caretaker ajnd jailer of Cuba for the USSR. The economy of the island is sputtering badly. There are shortages of just about everything, harvests continue to disappoint, medicines are scarce, foixi rationed. It’s reliably reported that the USSR is investing a million dollars a day in keeping Castro in power. Like another dictator of 30 years ago, Fidel uses a big police force, a big army, the big propaganda lie. and the big boast to remain in power. There are many parallels between Adolf Hitler and Fidel Castro. Not the least of these is the fact that each sought to expand. Hitler sought to control all of Europe. Castro daily exports agents and saboteurs throughout America. Hitler stamped out freedom of speech, assembly and the press wherever he moved his minions. Castro likewise has done away with these freedoms. These and other parallels have Ix'en graphically portrayed in a documentary film called. “Hitler in Havana!” produced

In an editorial, the Goshen News said. “Possibly before the vote was taken, it should have been pointed out to Mr. Halleck that the congressmen were not going to vote on exclusion of any members with a two-time record for illegal shooting of doves. There is quite a difference in the charges. Charlie.” Congressman Halleck usually comes up with an answer to questions like this one with an afipwer his constituents will swallow, but we would like to hear it nonetheless.
St. Patrick’s Day is March 17 and spring officially arrives at 2:37 a.m. on March 21. March is a Holy month too with Palm Sunday on March 19 commemorating Christ’s last entry into Jerusalem, when his way was covered with palms and the multitude shouted praises to the King. Good Friday on March 24 is reported to be the oldest of Christian celebrations. It commemorates the Crucifixion and is possibly a corruption of “God’s Friday”. March 26 is Easter Sunday when the Resurrection of Christ is commemorated in churches all over the world. See you in church Easter Sunday!
by the Information Council of the Americas. This private organization, based in New Orleans, has been exposing the Fidel Castro brand of Communism since 1960. It has concentrated on sending radio tapes to 16 Isatin American nations. Its documentary film is now appearing on television stations across this country. Lee Harvey Oswald is no “silly little Communist.” in this film by the way. It s pointed out that the assassin of President John F. Kennedv was a Castroite who was inflamed by the anti-l’S harangues of Fidel Castro. We’re glad there’s a private organization to prepare and distribute such radio and T\ materials in this hemisphere. We’ve seen no such output coming from Washington. As a matter of fact, we looked pretty carefully through the State of the Union message and neither Cuba nor Castro rated so much as a mention.

Hoosier Taxpayers To Pay Highest Tax Rate In History
Taxpayers of Indiana will pay the highest property tax levy in history this year, the estimated total to be collected this year, $720,281,927, will be $52,522,270 higher than last year’s previous high. Once again replacement taxes failed to provide relief to the property taxpayers. The average tax rate for the state increased from $7.17 to $7.60 per hundred dollars, assessed valuation. The state average rate for 1956 was $5.12. This announcement was made today by Fermor S. Cannon, president of the Indiana taxpayers association. His statement shows that local government officials sought $798,314,224 in property taxes. Local reviewing agencies including action by the local tax adjustment boards, cut $32,563,613 and the state board of tax commissioners made further reductions of $45,463,684. The over all re-
fßayh-Unes/L FROM WASHINGTON A KXV TO TMIWU OF MOW* ROM IL t WMKK MCX MM Bayh Declares Senate Has Chance To Protest Aid Program In Vietnam
RICHMOND — Senator Birch Bayh (D-Ind.) said here today the Senate soon will have an opportunity “to forcefully register a protest to the mismanagement of our Ameriean aid program to South Viet Nam.” Ba.vh, speaking to the Richmond Lions club here, said the test will come when the Senate votes on the nomination of Rutherford M. Poats as deputy administrator of the Agency for International Development. Poats, re-nominated by President Johnson last week for the numbertwo AID position, currently heads the agency’s Southeast Asia pro gram — the bulk of which involves Viet Nam. “The AID program in Viet Nam,” Bayh declared, “has been badly mismanaged. It has been rife with corruption, kickbacks and collusion — all of which have cost the American taxpayers millions of dollars in waste. “Worst of all,” Bayh continued, "this administrative failure has severely threatened the success of the so-called pacification program in South Vietnam —a program which must succeed if we are to wi the peace in Viet Nam, as well as win the war.” Last year, Bayh uncovered collusion among .Asian steel interests which was milking the Viet Nam j aid program of some sls million a year in American tax dollars. This | problem was corrected when Con- , grass enacted Bayh’s amendment to 1 the foreign aid bill calling for puri chase of American-made steel in- ’ stead of Japanese-made steel. "Since that time.” Bayh said, “other revelations indicating gross mismanagement of the Viet Nam i : ! search work in narrow rows and ■ has r» machinery to sell, he can jbe very honest about the results. Fertilizers and plart food is getting more and more attention from the world at large. William Reiss, a ! young agronomist from Illinois, will speak on fertilizing corn. The final speaker will be Merrill Ross of the botany department at Purude. We had hoped Ollie Lee, chairman of the mid-west weed control committee, could come but he is in the hospital in Houston. We hope to have a good turn-out on March 14. The line-up of speakers is good and the subject is an important one to the county.

This is a reduction of $362,866. The taxes levied in 1965 payable in 1966 were $5,577,065 with the estimated taxes levied in 1966 payable in 1967 being $5,675,280. This is an increase of $98,215. Eighty-two counties are asking for higher property tax this year. Dearborn, Decatur, Franklin, Jefferson. Martin, Ohio. Owen. Pulaski, Ripley and Vermillion counties have submitted lower levies.

aid program have been made. It seems to me that the man responsible for directing this program should not be rewarded by promotion to the second-highest position in the Agency for International Development where he would influence not only the Viet Nam program, but this nation's entire foreign aid commitment of nearly three billion dollars a year”. Although Bayh has consistently supported reduction in foreign aid spending — particularly in the area of military aid to foreign governments — he has supported also the concept of foreign aid as one of the tools with which the United States could help bring about world peace. “I am deeply concerned,” Bayh said, “that any indication by the Senate, that it condones waste and mismanagement in a significant part of our foreign aid program could lead to widespread disenchantment and. ultimately, discontinuation of the entire program.” AAA Prepares Driver Improvement Quiz The ability to make split-second decisions while driving your car could easily save your life some day. ' The Chicago Motor club-AAA. in its series of "Driver IQ Tests,” has prepared one quiz asking what you would do in five selected emergen.cy situations calling for quick action. Think each situation through carefully and jot down the one or more steps you would take to minimize the danger or afford maximum protection for yourself. Then compare your solutions to those below and make an honest judgment : as to whether you decided to do the i right thing. To score yourself, take 20 points for each substantially correct solution. A score of 100 is excellent; 80, only fair, though dangerous; 60 or below, poor, and perhaps fatal.’ Now. take an extra minute to study’ each correct solution so that hopefully they will be reflex reactions if you ever need them!

county is second with a requested increase of $9,262,667, Allen county had an increase of $4,921,669. Other counties having increases exceeding one million dollars are Delaware, Elkhart, Grant, Laporte, Tippecanoe and Vanderburgh. “Both political parties pledged property tax relief, said Mr Cannon, but it is evident now that any relief granted must wait until the all time high state budget and other pet projects are fully financed”. Bills now being voted upon in this legislative session which must be financed, in whole or in part, locally, could use up any property tax relief granted, thereby adding fuel to the ever increasing property tax burden. Citizens of Indiana who pay taxes on real and personal prop?rty should make their plea now for economy in government spending.
swerve. Your right wheels drop off the pavement onto a soft shoulder. W at do you do in the next few se >nds to recover as safely as ’ possible? ' (3) You encounter a drunk or erj ratic driver weaving from lane to lane. How do you protect yourself from him? (4) Your gas pedal sticks and your car shoots ahead into traffic. What do you do immediately in this situation? (5) An oncoming driver fails to dim his headlights and you are blinded by them as the two of you approach each other. What can vou do? ANSWERS: (1) Pull the emergency brake a series of short, swift pumps to build up pressure in the hydraulic system. Try to shift to i low gear. Edge to side of road and look for a field or soft shoulder. If : worse comes to worse — that is, if you cannot possibly come to a stop without a collision — head for a clump of bushes, a very small tree, or a light traffic sign. Avoid a traffic signal post, a light post, another | car. a concrete abutment, or a large tree. (2) Don’t yank your car back on . the road and don’t slam on the . brakes. Either of these moves may ' cause you to lose complete control. \ Ease up on the gas and steer your | car so that it straddles the pavement edge. When you have stowed ■ down enough, ease the car back
onto the roadwav.
(3) Don’t pass him or pull alongside him. Avoid him like poison. Pull well out of his way, brake, and let him get ahead of you. Stay behind him, so that you control the situation.
(4) Hitting your brakes is not the first thing to do. Turning off the ignition is. Put transmission in neutral and find a spot to pull off the roadway. (5) Before he passes, avoid looking directly into the limits and keep as far to the right as you safely can. After he passes, you may be blinded for about seven seconds if the lights caught your eyes directly. Slow down, steer cautiously, and stay as close to the right as you can until your normal vision returns.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - The appointment of Senator Vance Hartke (D-Ind. > as chairman of a Senate Special Subcommittee on the Uniform Time Act has been announced by Senator Warren G.

Voluntary Campsite Certification Bill t Passed In Senate A bill to encourage development ; of private campsites to help meet the need for public recreation facilities has been passed by the Indiana ■ Sate Senate. ! The bill, authored by William W. ' Erwin. Republican. Etna Green, provides for inspection and certifi- [ cation by the Department of Natural Resources for campsites when ; requested by the owner. A certified campsite would be permitted to display a special medallion that in- ’ dicates to tourists that the camp- ‘ j site has been inspected and meets 1 1 specified standards for health and 1 i safety. “I have been discouraged,” said . Senator Erwin commenting on the bill, “with the tendency of people ’ today to automatically assume that , i the needs of the state or the nation I mus f be met by the action of govern- : ment. I would much prefer to see • | government create a climate ‘i whereby the private sector of the ( economy is encouraged to engage in an enterprise that will help to ’ meet the needs of society. “Here, in pitolic outdoor recreL . ational facilities, we have a definite need. The growth of population and the increasing popularity of i! outdoor camping is creating a de- ' mand for public campsites. It has ’ I been noted by the Volmer Report that the need for outdoor recre- ' ational facilities in Indiana will ■ triple by 1975. I _I 1

Time. These hearings will examine especially the problems of states, including Indiana, which are divided by time zone boundaries. A number of bills have been introduced to deal with these problems. Serving with Hartke on the Special Subcommittee are Senators Philip A. Hart (D-Mich.), Robert Griffin (R-Mich.) and Thniston B. Morton (R-Ky.).
“The state is not keeping up with this growing need. The Department of Natural Resources estimates that to do so would require the j government to purchase about 25,000 acres of land every two years. So far, this biennium, 6 only about 1 10,000 acres have been purchased and diu’ing the balance of the ; period it is expected that only about 5.000 more will be acquired. : This means we are achieving only spout half tlie projected need. J“lf we can help to meet this need by encouraging private enterprise Ito put suitable land into use as ' public campsites, we have accom- ; plished two things. First, we are ‘ providing for a public need, and second, we are doing it at minimum cost to the taxpayer and with minimum encroachment by the government.” The bill was passed by the Senate on February 18, 1967. It provides ' for certification on a voluntary i basis. Campsites that have been 1 inspected and certified will be listed iby the Department of Natural Rescources in material issued to tourists who request information.
