was no prior advertisement of this intention
by council and ths public was not aware Of
any of the provisions until the deal had been
transacted.
Last Tuesday evening, the council
waived parliamentary procedure and the lot
in Caldwell which they have owned since
1948, was sold back to Worl w. Thompson
for the same price the village of Caldwell
paid for it or $4,000.
The public once again had no prior
knowledge of this sale until it had been
conSummated.
In the latter case, the village may have
obtained much more, dollars and cents wise,
had the lot been advertised for sale and sold
to the highest bidder.
But according to Attorney General
Saxbe, this need not be the case and the
village can dispose of the property as they
see fit.
But the Ohio Newspaper Association
thinks otherwise and they firmly believe
that the public should be told of such
transactions, prior to their sale, since
indirectly it is owned by local taxpayers.
The outcome of the testing of this opin-
ion will be watched with interest here in
Caldwell and other Ohio villages.

To put it another way: If SO

An opinion by Attorney General William
Saxbe in Columbus, which has already been
used twice in the village of Caldwell, will
be tested in the near future according to
the Ohio Newspaper Association, which has
taken exception to its Interpretation.
The attorney general ruled that any
municipality has the authority to sell or
dispose of municipality owned property in
such manner as it deems proper and COM
pliance with statutory provisions is not
required.
Saxbe went on to rule that a munici-
pality, such as Caldwell, which has not
adopted charter limiting its powers by
adopting the provisions of the statutes
relative to the sale of its property, has
authority under the power of Article XVIII
of the constitution, acting in good faith to
dispose of property belonging to it in such
manner and for such consideration as it
deems proper, without compliance with any
of the provisions of Chapter 72l of the
Revised Code.
Under these provisions, the council
several months ago leased the municipality
owned mine site to Ralph Gibbs as the site
for the new Noble Block Company. The
lease runs for a period of five years There

trated so dramatically. Most of
these proposals call for some
kind of Federal scholarships
whereby promising students

We face a grave problem in the
shortage of scientists. It is un-
doubtedly an issue which has
grown during the years-aggra-
waited by the need for scientists
by the Department of Defense
as well as by private industry.
1t is one that not only involves
our struggle with the Soviet
Union but our own material pro-
gress. The problem is not new
despite the sudden attention il
is now receiving. On the con-
trary, educators, industrialists
and government officials have
been concerned with it for sew
eral years.
Almost two years ago, Major
General Emerson Itschner, Chiet

SHOT-IN- THE ARM
BY George Peck

A great many of our Amer
lean citizens labor under the
erroneous impression that be-
cause of our highly progressive
individual income tax rates,
the rich are paying for most
of the drunken sailor" scend-
ing of the Federal Govern
ment. Because of this mis-
taken idea they are not per-
turbed about the manner in
which the Federal Government
tosses tax-money around
with apparently no thought of
economy.
Well, let's take a look at
some of the individual income
tax statistics! Those figures
knock into a "cocked-hat" the
notion that the Economic
Royalists" are bearing the
brunt of Federal Government
extravaganza and waste:
Three out of four income
taxpayers, some 30 million in
number, in 1855 fell into the
first bracket rate of 20 per-
cent. These 80 million mon
rich" citizens accounted for 85
percent of all personal tax
receipts. And further, even
three-fourths Of this amount
came from the definitely non
rich" who reported taxable in
comes of $4,000 or less.
The surtax rates, starting
above the $4,000 income level,
progress to a high of II per
cent, or TO combined rate of
81 percent on incomes of $780,
900 or over. Yet here again,
half of the revenue from the
surtax was paid by income
groups up TO $16,0 6,000-$18,00
for single persons, or double
that for married persons where
