TIUTiSDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1971. THE IXDIAXAPOLIS STAR PACE 11 No More Concessions, Nixon Governor Disagrees Willi GOP Tax Plan (R-Warsaw) and Janiece L. Crimmins (R-Marion), who previously had expressed opposition to features of the GOP plan, said their votes on the com fear that Peking would commit troops to the conflict. "As far as the actions in southern Laos are concerned, they present no threat to Communist China." Mr. Nixon said.

"They have no reason to react to it." MR. NIXON would not say when the U.S. combat role in South Vietnam would end, but he said American forces would remain as an "incentive" to Hanoi to release all its captives. "As long as North Vietnam has any Americans as prisoners of war, there will be Americans in South Vietnam Concluded From Page 1 struggle to conquer South Vietnam or Cambodia." HE ASSERTED that the Cambodian campaign early last summer had severed Hanoi's only other major supply line into South Vietnam. If the present assault against the Ho Chi Minh Trail network in Laos is a success, he said, accelerated U.S.

troop withdrawals can be expected. Responding to strong Communist Chinese protests over the Laotian operation. Mr. Nixon indicated he had no 8 Indicted In GJ. Clubs Conspiracy Case Warns Hanoi and enough Americans to give them an incentive to release the prisoners," Mr.

Nixon said. Mr. Nixon was asked if an American-backed South Vietnamese incursion iuU the southern panhandle of North Vietnam would not be the next logical step in the current policy of geographically expanding the ground war into hitherto off-limits ground areas in order to cut supply trails. He said he would not speculate "on what South Vietnam may decide to do" to protect its interests. But he said there were no restrictions on the use of American air power.

vestigation conducted by a special grand jury with the aid of Army criminal investigators acting on facts brought to public attention by the Senate Government Operations Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. THE CASE was developed by Army criminal investigators and referred to the Justice Department because the Army lacked prosecutive jurisdiction over some of the prospective defendants, the department said. Center Concluded From Page 1 good if we have to cancel conventions and other events during our first year in business," Phillips declared. No agreement is in sight to end the strike begun last November by Teamsters' Union Local 716 against ready-mixed concrete companies. Negotiations have broken off.

Meanwhile, other Teamster Union members, including equipment operators and hoist engineers, are to begin negotiations with their firms next month. Although contracts for the equipment and hoist workers do not expire until May, Phillips said he is not optimistic that a strike will be avoided. THERE IS no penalty clause in the construction contracts for the center that would force the construction firms to pay the Capital Improvements Board for not having the center completed on time. Phillips said it is possible that if future strikes are shorter than the present concrete drivers' walkout, some of the small exhibition rooms and meeting facilities could be used while work is underway on the main exhibition hall and larger meeting facilities. "We just don't know what is going to happen because we don't know when and how long strikes are going to begin and last," said Phillips.

UP YOUR FREEZER KOW llli. i ll il I rM '-PK4- mm Concluded From Page 1 in Hong Kong but who now live in Middlesex, England. The indictment listed two instances when purchases of $350,000 worth of goods for clubs Vietnam were bougnt between November, 1967, and October, 1968, from a company originally established as Maredem, Ltd. in Hong Kong, and later incorporated as Maredem Inc. by Wooldridge and three others in Fullerton, Calif.

ALL EIGHT were charged with conspiracy and Lazar, Bass, Hatcher and the Terhunes were also accused of giving about $14,000 in bribes to employes of enlisted men's clubs. A conspiracy conviction could be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 plus five years in prison. A bribery conviction could mean a fine of up to and 15 years in prison. In testimony two years ago, witnesses told the Senate Preparedness Subcommittee that the word "Maredem" was composed of the first letters of the first names of the wives of Wooldridge, Higdon and Lazar. The indictment charged that Wooldridge received kickbacks in varying amount totaling $23,000.

IN 1969 testimony before the subcommittee, witnesses testified that Wooldridge was leader of a ring of career soldiers who pocketed thousands of dollars from slot machine rakeoffs, kickbacks from club entertainers and concessionaires, and through Maredem, which they said was created to sell goods to military clubs at inflated prices. The sergeants, witnesses testified, stashed their money away in secret Swiss bank accounts. Wooldridge, immaculate in his sergeant major's uniform, sat stern-faced as witnesses testified that the alleged racket was started in the 24th Infantry Division in West Germany during the early 1960s, then spread to the U.S. after Wooldridge, with much fanfare, OF THE CIGARETTE tax increases proposed by the IVmocrats, proceeds of 1 cent would go to fund 18 now comprehensive regional mental health centers, 2 cents to cities and towns for police and firemen's pension funds and the fourth cent would be split up as follows: One-half cent to a special fund for the state university regional campuses capital construction. One-twelfth of one cent for a Special Highway Safety Improvement Fund to be used to build cross-town expressways, overpasses, underpasses and other highway construction.

One-twelfth of one cent for the Department of Correction for regional correction centers. One-twelfth of one cent for a law enforcement training academy. One-twelfth of one cent for development of the Wyandotte Cave park area. One-twelfth of one cent for a toll bridge over the Ohio River at Mount Vernon. One-twelfth of one cent to the State Scholarship Commission.

BOYER SAID he was the only Republican to vote against the tax package in the GOP caucus and also in the Marion County delegation caucus. Boyer said he will "oppose any tax increase whatsoever." "My red light will come on," he said. "I can't buy it." "Two years ago, they said the state would fall apart if we didn't have a tax increase, but here we are," he said. Boyer said the control bill is "no good" and that within two years, local governments again would be raising property taxes. "I want absolute caps on local spending," Boyer said.

"My mayor (Richard G. Lugar) has managed to cut the civil city tax rate. If you watch your budgets, you can live within your means." Representative John R. Sinks Jr. (R-Fort Wayne) also expressed dissatisfaction with the control bill, but from the opposite viewpoint.

Sinks said it is "too strong" and that local communities would not have enough leeway under it. The Democrats caucused for about 15 minutes after adjournment on the GOP tax package. Bodine said the consensus was that "we could not support the Republican plan" although they took no official caucus position. Nutley Aptly Named? Nutley, N.J. (AP)-The mayor and town commissioner passed a dog ordinance Tuesday night requiring the following: A dog may have a call of nature only in the street off the curb.

A person walking a dog must carry a shovel and plastic bag to pick up and contain the dog's dropping. The person after bagging the drop ping must deposit it in a garbage pail. A dog may be declared vicious if it worries a person. The ordinance was introduced by Commissioner Carmen Orechio, who said he did it on complaint of a man whose lawn was dispoiled by a dog. Nutley, in the metropolitan area of northeast New Jersey, has a population of about 30,000 humans and about 1,800 registered dogs.

Moon Robot Still OK Moscow (UPI) The Soviet moon robot, Lunokhod-I, completed its third month on the lunar surface yesterday, and one of its commanders on earth said it is still operating perfectly. "It is already clear that Lunokhod will far exceed its designed capacity," said a radio engineer in an interview with the official news agency, Tass. was named as the first sergeant major of the Army. Named as co-conspirators, but not charged, were David Tung and Henry Tung of Tom Brothers Hong Kong. THE INDICTMENT accused all eight persons of conspiring to defraud noncommissioned officers open mess clubs in Vietnam during the period from 1965 to 1969.

Some of those indicted were also accused of fraudulent claims. Higdon and Bagby served as secretary-custodians of NCO clubs in Vietnam during that period while Lazar was president of Maredem and Bass and Charles Terhune were salesmen for the company in Vietnam, the grand jury said. Irene Terhune was a British citizen residing in Hong Kong. BESIDES THE conspiracy count, Lazar was charged in 14 counts with having caused a total of about $10,000 in fraudulent claims to be submitted to various NCO clubs in Vietnam. Higdon and Lazar were charged in two counts with having schemed to purchase goods through Maredem Ltd.

for resale at substantially inflated prices to the NCO clubs. These were the second indictments since the Senate investigation began. On Jan. 12, Maj. Gen.

Carl C. Turner, U.S. Army was indicted by a Federal grand jury in Richmond, on charges of illegally obtaining firearms from the Chicago Police Department and evading income taxes. TURNER, THE Army's former top policeman and the former chief of U.S. marshals, had been a key witness at the 1969 hearing.

Subcommittee chairman Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn.) accused Turner of arranging a "substantial cov-erup" of Wooldridge's activities. When that phase of the hearings ended, the Army told Ribicoff its own investigation found "insufficient evidence" to prosecute but it did strip Wooldridge of his high rank.

THE FIGURES in millions of dollars bandied around between the Republicans and Democrats did not quiie jibe, but the GOP never satisfactorily answered that contention. The Republican timetable calls for the three bills to be readv for second reading tomorrow and for final passage on Saturday. But passage last night seemed far from sure because four of the Republicans who voted for the committee reports said that did not necessarily mean they would vote for the bills. The bills reported out onto the floor, with the vote on acceptance on the committee report amendments, were: H.B. 1290 The "control bill" which would provide for nine-member tax control to replace the present county tax adjustment boards, 53-46.

H.B. 1820 A measure which would increase the 2 per cent individual adjusted gross income tax to 3 per cent, increase the 2 per cent corporate net (adjusted gross) income tax to 5 per cent and increase the exemptions, 53-45. H.B. 1288 A bill which would increase the 2 per cent state sales and use taxes to 4 per cent and increase the tax credit for food from $8 to $20 a person, 53-45. Dr.

Otis R. Bowen (R-Bremen), Speaker of the House, voted "Aye" on all three reports. Bowen, regarded as one of the principal architects of the GOP plan, is entitled to vote on any measure he chooses but seldom avails himself of the option unless his vote is necessary. It may well be needed Saturday. REPRESENTATIVE Stanley C.

Boyer (R-Indianapolis) yesterday expressed definite opposition to the package. Representative Thames L. Mauzy Judge Launches Fund To Send Man To Russ El Centro, Calif. (AP)-Judge Hugh Keating is looking for contributors to his fund to send a 23-year-old unemployed farm worker to Russia when he gets out of jail. When Terence Padraic Craig appeared Tuesday in Justice Court for sentencing on two counts of failing to provide for his family, Judge Keating noted that probation' officers had quoted the defendant as saying "there isn't any justice" in America any more "I intend to take my family out of this country within a year and to renounce my American citizenship." "Do you want to go to Russia?" the judge asked.

"Well there'd be more justice there than we have in this country," Craig replied. "I'll tell you what I'm going to do," said Keating. "I'll donate $5 right now to go into a pot to send you to Russia when you get out of jail." Craig, sentenced to jail for two years, said he will appeal. Newborn TV 'Star' Bridgwater, England (AP) An estimated 4 million TV watchers in the west of England and Wales learned Tuesday night that businessman Norman Perry's wife Margaret gave birth to a daughter, Tracy Margaret, weighing 8 pounds 1 ounce. Perry was delighted at getting a daughter after two sons but couldn't write or telegraph the news to friends because of the postal strike.

The Harlech Television Company gave him a seven-second spot amid the soap commercials for the announcement at a special low rate of $62. rJTR Our offer is as A rZ Srriy 30 mittee reports did not indicate they would vote for the bills on passage. Similar sentiments were voiced bv another GOP member, Representative King Telle (R-Valparaiso), who indi cated he still was undecided. Bodine and Representative John C. Hart (R-Indianapolis), ranking member of Ways and Means, engaged in a live ly verbal sparring bout as Bodine fired a string of questions at Hart.

HE WAS ATTEMPTING to get Hart to admit that even under Hart's figures which Bodine did not agree to the individuals would pay 5, 7ths of the increased tax burden under the GOP plan while receiving only 40 per cent of the property tax relief. Republican figures were based on the contention that business would pay approximately 28 per cent, or about $110 million of the sales and use tax. But Phillips said that in reality business would pass that tax on to the consumer. Bodine charged Republicans acted "in violation of the committee system" in rushing through the tax package. HE SAID amendments embodying the GOP plan were delivered to him at 1 p.m.

yesterday, along with word the Republicans planned to pass them out of committee and that it would make no difference what the Democrats did. He said that at the time he received it, the Democrats were working on their own "compromise plan." The Democrat plan, unveiled at the outset of the Ways and Means Committee meeting, included: Lowering the legal limit on the tax rate for school operating costs from $4.95 to $2.50, at a cost to the state of $324 million a year. Raising the sales tax from 2 Der rent to 3 per cent and increasing the credit irom io $12 a person. INCREASING THE comorate ad. justed gross income tax from one-half of 1 per cent to .625 per cent.

Graduated individual adiusted cross income tax rates ranging from 2 per cent for incomes under $4,000 a vear tn 5 per cent for incomes over $1 million a year. Increasing the state ciearette tax from 6 cents to 10 cents a pack. The Democrats' program would raise an estimated $358 million more a vear or $716 million a biennium. Like the Republicans, the Democrats proposed to send the tax replacement funds back to local communities through school distribution fomulas. No TV For The Road Austin, Tex.

(AP) Automobile tele vision would be restricted to back-seat viewing under a bill adopted Tuesday by the Texas Senate. One of the hundreds of provisions of the "rules of the road" bill states: "No motor vehicle operated on the highways of this state can be equipped with a television receiver visible from the driver's seat. Parents Responsible Springfield, Ohio (UPI)-The parents of a child under 21, could be fined as much as $500 under an emergency ordinance which makes parents responsible for the actions of their children. The ordinance was passed by the Springfield City Commission, apparently spurred by a recent series of student disturbances at Springfield South High School. mf transparent as our beets.
