Combs.
He has ordered removal of a
spiked strip of iron from the top
Of a new stone fence encircIing
the historic building in downtown
Frankfort. And he also has di-

An anti-loafer spoke sman com

$50 what?" said Combs. "Let
them sit here another so years. I"
An 88-year-old man thanked the

Coin Operated
Dry Cleaning

About $50 million worth O
quarters went into coin-operateC
drycleaning machines last year
lhls amount probably will be
doubled in 1862, reports Janet
Reed, extension clothing special
1st at the University of Della
ware.
Coln-operated drycleaning ap-
peals to consumers in two ways,
Miss Reed says. It's economical
and it's convenient. All the home
maker has to do is place her
soiled articles in the machine
then remove them completely
cleaned at the end of the cycle.
In spite of the growing popu-
larity of the coin-operated ma
chimes, professional drycleaning
will still be needed, Miss Reed
explains. Some spot removal,
for example, should not be at
tempted by amateurs. Many fam
lilies also will continue to want
professional pressing.
AS might be expected in a
young industry, coin-ops are
undergoing some changes. These
changes may speed up the clean
ing process but increa Sc the cost.
Two coin-operated drycleaning
systems are now in use. The first
system on the market, and the
one still predominately used, re-
quired a time cycle of about as
minutes to more than one hour
for completion of the cleaning
drying. The other system, until
recently in the experimental
stage, uses a rapidly evaporating
solvent that reduces the time
cycle to Is to 20 minutes. The
rapid evaporation of the solvent
presents a problem to the ma
chine manufacturers. Machines
must be air-tight, and this adds
to the expense of the machine.
The solvent used in the new
system is also more expensive.
SO the cost of cleaning with this
solvent may be higher.
Some improvements to look
forward to are improved spot
cleaning service - perhaps, at
tendants who are experts in the
art Of spotting; more pressing
service offered on the premises
= at an added cost, of course;
and continued effort on the part
of manufacturers to make more
efficient machines.
Miss Reed says the present \
cost Of in-operated machines
rules out home units now, but \
one company predicts they are
)nly about 5 years away.

1t is amazing how effective
this image has become. First, it
has helped people to understand
what TINS WEEK is, and where
THIS WEEK stands. Second, for
us, it has become a constant chal-

only. Under the new Foundation Pro-
gram law enacted by the 1868 Legis-
lature, the State Board of Equaliza-
ton has final authority to establish
the high school tax levy amount.
But, said Miss Miller, the chairman
of the board has advised her that this
probably cannot be done until the
latter part of August, in spite of the
fact that school budget work by the
county officials must be completed
before the second Monday in August
when the law requires the county
commissioners to fix school levies.
The preliminary estimates were
provided by Miss Miller after sur
vey of county offices to obtain tax
able valuation figures expected to
be used for setting levies. The State
Superintendent said this was done to
assist with the heavy work load in
the county superintendents' offices
ait this time. She emphasized that
final figures must come from the
State Board of Equalization.

The State Superintendent said that

due from state funds. But, said Miss

Indiana AFL-OO Is Victorious
In Suit Against State Sales Tax

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-A re-
tail sales tax which provided
super discrimination against
workers and other low-income
people has been held unconsti-
tutional by an Indiana circuit
judge.
The court ruling upheld suit filed
by the Indiana State AFL-CIO. 1t
blocked tax collections which were
scheduled to go into effect on July 1.
Marion County Circuit Judge John
L. Niblack ruled that the law, enacted
by the 1868 Legislature, is illegal for
number of reasons. Among these
were:
1t exempts farmers and certain
business interests while putting the
burden on workers and other business
men.
1t is, as Judge Niblack said, IAN
unwarranted delegation of legislative
power =. to the executive branch.
The legislature is under Republican
domination. To escape the response
bility of its actions it provided that

i Peace Corps assignments. Conclu-
sive comparisons with other states
will not be possible until the Peace
Corps makes it quarterly report
sometime in July. But on the basis
of figures now available, it appears
that Montana may have regained
the number one spot in per capita
Peace Corps participation.
| The first contingent of Peace Corps
volunteers left this country in 1861
soon after the agency was established
They are scheduled to start returning
to this country this month. Some will
return before their two-year bitches
are fully completed so that they can
enroll in colleges and universities for
terms starting this fall.
The Peace Corps was created by
Congress in 1861 on recommendation
of President Kennedy. The Peace
Corps has sent some 5000 volunteers
to At developing countries in Africa,
Asia, Latin America and the Near
East.
Every country to which Peace Corps
volunteers have been sent has re-
quested more, indicating the success
of the program in assisting less for
tunate countries abroad and in pro-
noting improved international under
standing.
The Peace Corps has proved itself
even to many of those who opposed
it originally. In 1861 the bill setting
up the Peace Corps first passed the
House by a 288-97 roll-call vote.
Later a compromise version of the
Senate and House Peace Corps bills
passed the House-this time with
only 10 dissenting votes. In the Sen
ate both the original. bill and the
compromise passed by voice VOTE
An attempt to cut the authorization
of funds for the new program went
down to defeat by 1892 roll-call
vote.
In 1862 an increase in the size
of the Peace Corps was requested
by President Kennedy, and Con-
gress emphatically agreed. Only 20
House members opposed enlarging
the Corps. The bill passed the Sem
ate by voice vote with few audible
dissents.

Pollution Killed rs
Million Fish In 1862

WASHINGTON, d. C.-About 45
million fish were killed by water pol
luton in and near the United States
in 1862, the u. S. Public Health Ser
vice reports.
The largest single kill noted in the
report was 37.8 million fish destroyed
in the Pacific outside the entrance to
San Diego Harbor. This killing was
blamed on large amount of oil,
known to be toxic to fish, which was
dumped in coastal waters. The report
did not say who did the dumping.
Within the states, the largest kill
occurred in the Anacosta River near
Washington last September when 8. 18
million fish were killed by the dump
ing of about 40 million gallons of
raw sewage during construction
around the sewer system.
OF the million fish deaths re-
ported by 38 states and the District
of Columbia, 3.3 million were
blamed on domestic sewage, IL
million on Industrial wastes, 70O,-
900 on mining operations and 91,-
900 on agricultural poisons.
The report made no effort to eval-
uate the extent of sublethal pollution

pollutants that faint fish flesh MAX

start the tax anywhere from Is cent
to rs cent purchases. This would
place the tax blame on the Governor.
Dallas Sells, president of the Indi-
ana AFL-CIO and the Committee on
Political Action, filed the suit on
behalf of the State COPE.
He listed the legal arguments which
were upheld by Judge Niblack but
also charged that the retail sales tax
is discriminatory because the burden
of taxation s'falls heavily upon those
least able to pay and had arbitrary
exemption classifications such as
farmers, business machinery and so
FORTH.
Sells said that under the tax pro-
gram the wage and salary employees
of Indiana would have their taxes
doubled and in some cases tripled in
erder-to provide tax relief for retail
merchants, doctors, lawyers, farmers
and landlords.
He stressed that the Indiana ALL
CLIO would continue to press for
graduated net income tax for the
state which he said is the kind of tax
program that would be fairest for
most Hoosiers.

While no overall figures are avail
able to estimate the total increase in
shipping costs should the application
be approved in it's entirety by the
MIRO, Johnson has accumulated from
records of various large and small
shippers facts which indicate that the

bump shippers freight costs from
81 to IL per cent. Some examples
cited by Johnson, are:
One of the states smaller
creameries would find its freight

A motor parts firm supplying
several counties would be hard hit
by the hike in minimum shipment
costs, with its freight costs soaring
by II per cent;

HIGHER RATES NOT
THE ANSWER

Recognizing that some trucking
firms may have financial problem
facing them, it is Johnson's position
that higher rates may prove only a
temporary remedy for the industry,
while at the same time holding out
the danger such increases may drive
some smaller shippers into insolvency.
Already some larger shippers have
undertaken doing their own hauling.
Higher rates will increase this trend
with many which, under present rate
schedules, are still money ahead by
not having capital tied up in truck
ing facilities. With even greater en-
phasis on firms doing their own haul
ing, the common carriers will actually

shipped from the central warehouse
in Helena each year represent, en-
toto, a school cost of many thousands
of dollars.
Another public agency which is
a major shipper and which would
find its freight costs substantially
higher is the Highway Department.
Highway, through its central repair
shops in Helena, and it's testing lab
oratory makes thousands of mini
mum shipments annually. The shops
repair motors, ship signs, maintenance
parts, ETC., for highway operations
throughout the state.
The lab last year tested 10000
separate samples of aggregate and
other materials for strength, dura-
bility, etc., for the scores of projects
involved in a highway building pro-
gram which now finds $81 million
worth of construction underway.

on freight costs means that much
