Biggest New Source
Largest single source Of new
revenue would be a 2 per cent
'titling tax" on the retail value
of new or used cars. collected
at the time q vehicle is reg
istered to a new owner. This
would produce SAP million a
year.
Every State bordering Vir-
GINA has now in effect a SINH
lar tax" the commission said.
These taxes on the sale of
both new and used vehicles run
from is per cent in North
Carolina to 5 per cent in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee tax at
8 per cent, while Maryland and
the District Of Columbia tax at
2 per cent"
Second largest new source Of
revenue would be SIS million
by increasing the price of IL
cense plates from $40 to SIS
for passenger vehicles. A IS in
crease also would be applied to
all other classes of tags for
trucks and trailers.
Driving permits, now re-
newed every three years for So,
would be increased to SIS, to
produce an extra S1.8 million.
Fees for heavy trucks would
be increased in the top weight
brackets and adjustments In
the reciprocity law would pro-
duce an additional SIS million
annually.
Opposition Expected
Mr.. Stone admitted that he
anticipates most opposition in
the General Assembly to the
commissions request to trans
fer ST. million, now financed
by highway revenues, to the
General Fund budget.
Among transfers to the Gen.
eral Fund would be one-half
the operating costs of the State
police force, or SIS million a
year, since the police are EN-
ployed in crime detection and
other duties not related to the
use of highways.
Another SIS million for in
dustrial access roads would be
transferred from high reve-
nues, Mr.. Stone said, because
this is really a part of the cost
of industrial development con-
tributing to the general econo-
my of the State.
In addition. $640, 900 in re-
bersions to the Highway De-
partment would come through
changes in assessing costs of
the State convict road force.

Rob Bank of SAC. 900

ROCKFORD, H., Dec. II
(AP).-Two men dressed as
Santa Claus. and possibly aided
by a third, robbed the Alpine
State Bank yesterday of cash
estimated at $4,000.
Frank Hoffman, assistant
cashier, said the men looted the
tellers' cages and fled in an
automobile without attempting
to raid the main vault. "They
seemed anxious to get away"
he said.
Ten employees and four Gus
toners were herded into the
vault. They we're freed after
about 10 minutes because the
robbers had neglected to close
the main lock on the vault.

He discounted any fear that

increase unemployment in the
country, remarking that the
turnover in Government Jobs is
such that reductions can be

White House sources said
Dr.. Walter w. Heller, chair
man of the Council Of Eco
nomic Advisers, reported to Mr..
johnson yesterday that the
gross national product (GNP)

services produced-soon will
pass $500 billion at an annual
rate.
DR.. Heller reported that the
economy is moving ahead
steadily but not fast enough
to cut down the current I'M
employment rate Of about So
per cent Of the labor force.
Working into the evening,
Mr.. Johnson conferred on pros
poets and strategy for the for
eign aid appropriation bill
coming up in the House next
week. For that purpose, he
brought in House Speaker Nc
Cormack, Representative Pass
man, chairman of the Appro-
priations subcommittee which
deals with foreign aid. AID Di-
rector David Bell. and Law
renee O'Brien, White House
liaison man with Congress.
PaSsman UncOnvinced
Mr.. Passman said later that
he is sticking with his plan to
bring in an appropriation bill
Of less than So billion-"far
less"
Mr.. johnson is expected to
oppose any attempt to cut the
appropriation bill below the
$3.6 billion agreed to by House
and Senate conferees on the
authorization measure. That's
about 5000 million less than the
late President John F. Kennedy
asked.
Asked if he expected White

title question could be raised.
T Three principal title problems
hovered like ghosts over the leas-
ing of oil and gas lands by the
Tribe: ~ ownership of the river
bed lands, (2) mining and other
claims which had never been in
cluded in the Reservation, and
(3) Utah claims to school land
sections. Major problems remain
unc ono luded as to certain school

"Years have been required to
analyze all of these problems and
bring them toissue and c ono clusion.

cipitated the riverbed and school

to agree. PreSsures were con-

Acting Commissioners authorized
the refund of bonuses paid by win

he unde r 81 gneQ as the
Tribes General Counsel, pro-
tested the illegality of such action
by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Such a policy could have meant the
refund of millions of dollars on
this and the future lease sales. A
CORY battle ensued on the policy
level in Washington. DC. A hear
ing reque sted by the undersigned
was held before the Under Secre-
tary of Interior. the Commissioner
and Assistant Commissioner of
Indian Affairs, members of the Sol
icitor'S office, representatives Of
the Geological Survey. and the
Bureau of Land Management. The
Under Secretary sustained the
Tribes General Counsel and re-
versed the Commissioner order.
The General Counsel participated
in drafting letter ! / to the Area
Director at Gallup reversing the
prior instructions of the Commis-
sioner's office. There would be no
refunds of bonuses to winning bid
ders in the event of title defects.
"In extended correspondence
with oil company bidders. they too
backed away from claiming any
benefits from the erroneous, un-
authorized announcement of the
Bureaus representative on De-

have cost the Tribe millions was
erased.
"While the battle on the policy
level in Washington was won. es-
tablishing the principle of "caveat

bidding on leases in Navajo lands,
this solved no title problems.
Questions still remained to COM

uncertainties existed as to Tribal
rights, wholly unknown to Navajos,
who peacefully grazed their sheep,
as their forefathers had done, over
