I New Tax Compromise Would Permit Forcing Vole Continued from First Page latest and most serious of several that have been advanced, reportedly grew out of discussions in Louisville Sunday among Lieutenant Governor Harry Lee Waterfield, Hoblitzell, City Consultant Roy Owsley, and teveral civic figures. It is understood on good authority to have the blessing of Chandler, who revealed at Frankfort yesterday that it was in the making. Under terms of the proposed compromise, it would be necessary for about 16,000 voters to sign petitions to have a referendum. That would be 15 per cent of the 105.404 Louisvillians who voted in the 1957 general election.

HoMiCeU's statement enn-firmed the Sunday meeting with saying: "The meeting was held at the request of Lieutenant Governor Waterfield and the persons present were the ones suggested by him. "We reached no agreements. At the conclusion of the meeting I stated that I would dis a of rpachprf for comment, and all the others who attended Sunday's conference declined to comment. In Frankfort, Water-field said he had no comment to make either. Inclusion of the referendum provision in the reported compromise obviously was in deference to Governor Chandler's stand for such a vote on the tax matter.

However, the proposed referendum plan would make it easier to force such an election than is now the case in cities of the second, third, and fourth classes having the City-manager form of government. The present State referendum law for the smaller cities provides; 1. The referendum must be called for within 10 days after passage of the ordinance in 2. The requesting petition must be signed by at least 25 per cent of the total number of votes cast for mayor at the last nrecedins recular election. 3.

Each signature must be verified by "the affidavits of one or more persons." Conditions Restrictive These conditions are so restrictive as to render the referendum statute virtually inoperative. This newest compromise would triple the time in which a refer Test of Vanguard Delayed Because of Fuel Shortage Cape Canaveral, Feb. 24 (AP) A propellant shortage and minor electrical and "plumbing" difficulties have delayed a new Vanguard satellite test launching, informed sources said Monday night.

"We knew Dr. Jokl did not have a license to practice medicine in this country, although he is licensed to practice in his native Germany.

He apparently has never gotten around to taking the examination to practice in America. "However, we felt as I told society officials in the letter to Dr. Bryant that Dr. Jokl was not practicing medicine at the center, but rather was operating the center on the basis of therapy through exercise." Medical Center Unready After Dr. Dickey and other top U.

of K. officials met with members of the medical society, it was decided to ask Dr. William R. Willard to make "an evaluation of the charges." Dr. Willard is vice-president in charge of the university's proposed $26,000,000 Albert B.

Workmen began clearing the site January 22. The center will be built on the U. of K. experiment-station farm near Rose and South Limestone streets. Dr.

Jokl Is Transferred "In the light of Dr. Willard's report, we decided to close the center February 1 because a conflict with the medical society could be avoided by that step," Dickey said. In the meantime, Dr. Jokl was transferred to the university's department of anatomy and physiologyTfeTsifondayihat -j he was "preparing to leave early I tonight on a trip" and would be unable to "discuss closing of the center at this time." Articles of incorporation oni file in the Fayette County Clerk's office show that the Ken-; tucky Rehabilitation Center was formally incorporated May 15, 1954. Started by Lexington Men Directors of the corporation were listed as Dr.

W. K. Massie, Lexington physician; Don Cash Seaton, of the U. K. department of physical education, Irma W.

Robinson, Paris Pike, and Julian Knippenberg and F. Selby Hurst, Lexington attorneys. A group of "Lexingtonians, including some doctors, started the center in 1954'with Dr. Jokl as director," Dr. Dickey said.

"To the best of my knowledge, the group of incorporators underwrote the cost of operating the center the first year and after that it was self-sustaining. Some of the patients paid fees and the cost of treating others was paid for by the State Rehabilitation Service." Meeting Is Planned The articles of incorporation stated the purpose of the center was "patient treatment, student training, and research-in the field of rehabilitation." Dr. Dickey said a "meeting of the center's board of directors and university officials will be held within the next two weeks to determine disposition of equipment at the center." Since 1954 the center has been located in a wing of U. Memorial Coliseum. Contractor Files Turnpike Suit Tht Cauritr-Jturnat Frankfort lurtau Frankfort, Feb.

In addition, it was learned, several comparatively minor electrical difficulties also harried the Vanguard crew. Both the Navy Vanguard and an Army Jupiter-C satellite rocket are being prepared for launching. The Vanguard attempt had been expected early this week, with the Army effort to follow, probably next week. Vanguard Firing Unlikely Before Last of Week The problems made it unlikely that a Vanguard would be sent aloft before the latter part of the week, at the earliest.

Crews working on the Vanguard have made a thorough check of the device in an effort to prevent a recurrence of the earlier difficulties which resulted in the February 5 break-up and the December 6 loss of a Vanguard on its launching pad. Loose connections, due to vibration, and short circuits caused by moisture seepage were suspected in the earlier Vanguard losses. At Winter Park, Maj. Gen. John B.

Medaris, head of the Army ballistic-missiles agency, said another Jupiter-C launching attemptjvouldjie made "not earlier than tomorrow or later than thefirst of April."

Feb. 24 i.fi No doubt about it, there's something darn strange going on at the James Herrmann house, A sturdy chest of drawers crashed over on its side late Monday for the second time in 24 hours. The Herrmann house is the place where all those bottles started popping their tops on February 3 dancing and spinning, tipping over and spilling.

Lately the bottles have boon quiet. Now it's the furniture that is acting up. The Herrmanns are sick and tired of the whole thing. The Herrmanns returned home Sunday after spend ing two days with relatives in an effort to get a little rest. All kinds of explanations have been advanced, but nothing has been proved.

Dave Kahn, a reporter for Newsday, a Garden City, Long Island, newspaper, spent the night at the Herrmann house Sunday night, and, while he was sitting in the living room sipping a cup of coffee, a porcelain figurine flew off a table, sailed through the air, and crashed against a secretary. Then came a crash from the bedroom of James Herrmann, 12. It was the chest of drawers, over on its side. Young James was in bed and asleep at the time. Kahn continued his vigil Monday.

About 4:40 p.m. came the rumble and crash again from James' bedroom. The chest of drawers was not only sprawled on the floor, but was shoved about a foot from the wall. The boy had just gone up the stairs from the cellar of the six-room ranch house, and had not yet entered his room. His father and Kahn were in the living room.

Mrs. Herrmann was in the kitchen. James' sister, Lucille, 13, was in the cellar when it happened. Daily service to Louisville, New Albany and JcffersonviUc.
