Assembly Votes Referendum on Sheriff Terms MADISON (AP)-The Assembly adbpted and sent to the Sen-'' ate today a resolution to amend the Wisconsin constitution to permit a sheriff lo serve more than two consecutive terms.

A similar resolution was approved by the 1959 legislature. If the Senate adopts the resolution soon the question would go to voters in a referendum in April. 1 The question submitted to the voters would be; "Shall the constitution be amended to permit a sheriff to serve any number of consecutive terms." The resolution was introduced Jan. 24 by representatives of both political parties. Republicans Robert Haase of Marinette and Walter Terry of Baraboo and Democrat John Gray of Antigo.

(Continued from Page 1) $56 million in new appropriations for the fiscal year starting July 1, and that about $21 million of this actually would be spent in those 12 months. 177 Million for Year For the next fiscal year, beginning July 1, 1962, appropriations are figured at about $177 million and actual spending at about $55 million. Some of the programs Kennedy advocated are on a 10-year basis, and the administration estimates the cost would continue to mount through the first four years, and then perhaps level off. Kennedy did not go into any detail regarding price tags in his message. He has promised, however, that he will suggest ways of raising additional revenue in the case of all new spending programs and by them' knock out of balance the budget he inherited from the Eisenhower regime for the fiscal year commencing July 1 Financing Method Discussing health insurance for the aged, Kennedy told Congress: "This program would be financed by an increase in the Social Security contributions of one- quarter of one per cent each on employers and employes, and by an increase in the ma.ximura earnings base from $4,800 a year to $5,000 which would amply cover the cost of all insurance benefits provided.

The system would be self-supporting and would not place any burden on the general revenues." This means that apart from tax increases already scheduled over the next several years in the existing Social Security tax would go from the current 3 per cent to 3 per cent. This be paid by both workers and employers on the first $5,000 of wages, instead of the first $4,800 as at present. Would Start in 1962 Payment of health insurance benefits would start July 1, 1962. So it also means that in the case of workers earning at least $5,000 their tax increase for 1962 would be $6. In 1963 the increase would total $18.50.

The hike would be smaller in 1962 because for that year the tax would continue at 3 per cent, the present rate, but would be on the first $5,000 of wages. The next year the tax rate would jump to 3V4 per cent. The additional Social Security cost would be less in the case of workers earning less than $5,000 a year. Prospects for the Kennedy health insurance program are regarded as somewhat brighter this year than last, but it still faces rough going. In 1960 Dwight D.

Eisenhower, then president, was a leader of the successful battle against tying health insurance for the aged to the Social Security program. Congress approved, and Eisenhower signed into law, a substitute program expanding federal grants to the states, which are required to act first. Nothing much has been done to implement this law and it is uncertain whether it would remain on the books if Congress should enact the Kennedy program. Opposition Strong There still is much opposition in Congress to such a program. And the American Medical Association is vigorously against it.

Anticipating the arguments sure to be raised, Kennedy said today: "This program is not a program of socialized medicine. It is a program of prepayment of health costs with absolute freedom of choice guaranteed. Every person will choose his own doctor and hospital. "No service performed by a physician at either home or office, and no fee he charges for such would be involved, covered or affected in any way. There would be no supervision or control over the practice of medicine by any doctor or over the manner in which medical services are provided by any hospital." The President said the law enacted last year "recognized the problem of those needy aged requiring welfare assistance to meet their medical costs." Then he added: "But we must now meet the needs of those millions who have no wish to receive care at the taxpayers' expense, but who are never-the-less staggered by the drain on their those of their by an extended hosr pital stay." 4 in Court Result of Theft Series Pleas of guilty were entered Wednesday in Beloit Municipal Court by Kenneth Passon, 19, South Beloit, and Floyd R'.

Vogt, 22, Footville. They are charged with five counts and seven counts, respectively, of burglary and theft. Both were returned to jail and the cases continued until Feb. 24 for presentence investigation. They are part of the group rounded up by the sheriff's department in a big investigation into a series of tire, gasoline and hubcap thefts, along with a number of burglaries.

Old-Timers Band Elects Officers FORT ATKINSON Don Johanning was elected president of the Fort Atkinson old-timers bnad Wednesday night when the group decided to continue the recently organized band.

The band will be faced with several problems, losing eight school teachers for the summer, including Babcock, and being without any funds. Other officers elected with Johanning were: Gust Klatt, vice president; Denny Ankomeus, secretary; Dave Mack, treasurer. Directors elected were Babcock, Mrs.

Liicey of Madison, Democratic state chairman, accused (Wisconsin Republican leaders today of actions designed "to combat the growing strength of the Democratic party."

Finn, 66, Fort Atkinson, was fined $28 for failing to yield the right of way to another vehicle. Traffic (Continued from Page 1) come which would remove the present two-term limit on sheriffs. This would have the advantage of giving deputies more security, since frequently a new sheriff brings in friends and political patrons to replace trained officers.

The association has also opposed the recent effort to legislate sheriff's departments, and others, into using a new, complicated accident report form which has been denounced as being inadequate in spots and far too complex for county level reports. "It should not require a state law for the Motor Vehicle Department to get the added statistics it wants," Simon said, "especially since that department has never asked for the submission of these on a voluntary basis." Forgery Case Is Continued Ralph Lohry, 33, 1424 N. Vista was arraigned in Municipal Court Wednesday on a check forgery charge. Judge Ralph F. Gunn continued the case until Monday to allow Lohry opportunity to consult an attorney.

Dahlberg, Beloit, were among 14 persons who appeared at a hearing before an assembly committee to argue for retention of court powers in cases involving custody of delinquent children.

(AP wirephoto) Farmer Bales Hay, Snow Crews Pile Gravel and Paint Highway Markers MADISON (AP)-Lack of snow and frequent periods of unseasonably mild temperatures, a big switch from the normal Wisconsin weather pattern for this time of year, have brought on these oddities: Farmer Erwin Schroeder of rural Oregon brought out his machinery and baled hay that was cut and windrowed last August. Schroeder said he didn't know what use he would make of the crop. A University of Wisconsin pasture specialist said it is possible nutrients had bleached out.

Some county highway crews with no snow to plow have turned to other chores, such as stockpiling gravel and crushed stone for road building next spring and peeling and painting posts for culvert and bridge markers and for sign use. Road construction firms engaged in bridge building winter projects, said workmen had no complaints about cold and snowy weather conditions this year. A Brown County road crew was spotted Wednesday patching cracks in pavement, usually a spring and fall chore. Both county and state maintenance crews have been spending time picking up debris along roadsides, a task rarely possible in January or February. Loggers in some northern sections of the state are working in swamps, a unique undertaking for this time of year.

The swamps have virtually no snow and the ice is strong enough to support trucks and other equipment. Parts of the northern forest sections have off-and-on-again fire hazards. A week ago the haiard was acute because of lack of snow. Several days ago there was a two to three inch snowfall and the risk faded. At last report the snow had melted and danger signals again were posted.
