I PAGE 2 THE MUNCIE STAR, TUESDAY, MARCH 4, 1969 Work Can Begin 'Missing' Mall Permit Found Construction on the proposed Muncie Mall can now begin officially, according to a building permit located Monday in the office of Commissioner James W. Wilson. The permit, Feb. 28, appeared with other permits Building, Monday after being missing from the records Friday, the day it was issued. WILSON, when asked Friday by a Muncie Star reporter if a permit had been issued for the mall, said he did not know.

However, his signature appeared on the permit. The permit will allow construction to begin at McGalliard Road and Granville Avenue site although Wilson had previously given Mel Simon and Associates of Indianapolis a verbal go-ahead for the project with the condition that the buildings could not be used if all conditions prescribed by the city building code were not met. According to the plans submitted, the mall will be anchored by Sears-Roebuck Co. on the north end and a W. T.

Grant Co. Frazier Joins Team Planning Tax Revolt THE STAR'S LEGISLATIVE BUREAU INDIANAPOLIS-An that appeared in the Sunday edition of The Muncie Star was prominently circulated in the Assembly Monday. Sen. Frazier, R-Albany, took the floor Monday night to point out the "property tax revolt" idea -to the Indiana Senate. Frazier said he was "the selfappointed lobbyist for non-violent, law-abiding, seldom-heardfrom, and very definitely discrimCinated-against real estate taxpayers." "I find it very difficult to get through these hallowed halls without running into or being pursued by a lobbyist," he said.

"There must be a lobbyist for almost every bill introduced in this General Assembly. But where are the lobbyists for real estate tax relief?" FRAZIER told the Senate that he and other Delaware County taxpayers will not pay their real estate taxes this spring until "this body sees the light and understands that we have had enough." want significant real estate tax relief and we want it now. We are fully aware of the penalties assessed on us for not paying our taxes. We are willing to pay those penalties if this is the only way we have to get your attention." The advertisement which Sen. Frazier carried to the microphone and later circulated among senators was placed in The Star by The Committee for Real Estate Tax Relief, including John Meredith and Glenn Cassell, cochairmen, and John Scanlon, Fred Bartel and Louis Feick.

Copies of the advertisement were also in circulation in the House of Representatives earlier in the day. FRAZIER'S speech failed to arouse any noticeable reaction in the Senate which named Sen. Leslie Duvall, R-Marion, and Sen. Robert D. Orr, Vanderburgh, as conferees on the 1969-1971 biennial state budget.

The conference committee composed of two senators and two members of the House will write whatever tax relief program results from the 1969 session. It will be up to both the Senate and the House to accept the conferees' recommendation, but time is running out. Ulbricht Dismisses Latest Berlin Bid BERLIN (UPI)-East man President Walter Ulbricht dismissed Western for moving the West German presidential election out of West Berlin as "simply ridiculous" Monday, apparently the door shut on any last-minute compromise. Even before Ulbricht spoke, the Communists made good their threats to tighten the squeeze on the divided city. Jet fighters buzzed its air corridors Monday and Soviet troop convoys cut across a highway to block a U.S.

Army caravan for one hour. WARY WEST Berliners began stockpiling staple foods goods, drawing a rebuke from one newspaper for displaying "unfounded fear" of the "Communist war of nerves." The official East German news agency ADN quoted Ulbricht as saying that if the West Germans hold their election in Berlin Wednesday means that West Germany is continuing the cold war against East Germany." Ulbricht, who spoke to Soviet delegates to the Leipzig trade fair, said East Germany was prepared only to allow West Berliners to pass through the Berlin wall for visits during Easter holidays as its concession. He said Bonn had raised "maximum demands" freedom of travel through the wall that allegedly would force East. Germany to "more or less" recognize West Berlin as part of the West. "These demands were simply ridiculous." WEST BERLIN Mayor Klaus Schuetz announced that the el East Germans had ignored his last attempt to revive negotiations for settlement of the mounting crisis over Wednesday's meeting here of the West German presidential electoral college.

Many of the 1,036 delegates to the college arrived Monday by commercial flights from West Germany, most of them coming from the capital city of Bonn. The East Germans have prohibited them from using land or waterway routes. Travelers aboard a British European Airways (BEA) jetliner from Bonn said two Communist jet fighters came 1 up to meet their over East Germany alongside plane, until it approached West Berlin's Tempelhof Airport.

He said the mall will house between 35 and 45 stores. There had been problems concerning drainage of surface water from the site and the project was expected to need approval from the Delaware County Drainage Board. Sidney McClellan, attorney for Simons, however, said that drainage plans for the mall include construction of a reservoir on the land to take care of drainage.

The test came in Mississippi cases and one from Virginia.

Both states are subject to the law, which from control states with a removed many, voting matters record of racial discrimination. ONCE UNDER the umbrella of the law, these states may not change voting practices or voter qualifications without submitting the revision either to the U.S. attorney general or to a federal district court in the District of Columbia. Besides Mississippi and Virginia, the states covered by the law are South Carolina, AlaIn an by Chief Justice bama, Louisiana, and Georgia. Earl Warren, the court said the Services Council Discusses Need for Children's Home The Public Welfare Services Committee of the Community Services Council continues to discuss the problem of a children's home versus foster homes and brought up several new areas of study for the new year at a meeting Monday night.

James Douglass, chairman, said during the coming year the committee would study the need for homemaking services here, problems of the aging and the role of the County Home. Mrs. Lucille Williams, social information related to the suit will be sought to the interrogatories. Chavis admitted that the NAACP seeks to use the Muncie suit for a wide determination by the court alleged segregation in public schools. "That's why Wells (State Supt.

of Public Instruction Richard Wells) is a party. defendant," Chavis said. The Muncie School Board, stockholders in a holding company formed to build the high school and several other persons also are defendants in the suit, filed in Federal District Court and assigned to Judge James Noland. "WE DON'T THINK Muncie has the population to build that big a school," Chavis said. He predicted that 10 years from now the school population in Muncie will have declined.

Federal District Court officials said Monday that no attorneys have entered appearance for the defendants in the school suit, although the Muncie Community School Board last Thursday decided to hire Indianapolis Attorney Stanley Lawton, who defended Kokomo school officials in a case brought by the NAACP in that city. Until all defendants are represented by council, there apparently will be action on the suit in Judge Noland's court. Normally, defendants would be given 20 days after being served with notices of filing of the suit to hire attorneys. The court, after conferring with attorneys, would set a date for preliminary action on the suit. Trial of the case probably is several months away.

ASKED WHETHER the school board can go ahead with construction of the new high school, Chavis said, "that is up to the court." He added however, "there has been sufficient warning that a suit was contemplated," a hint that Chavis apparently feels the school board would go ahead at its own risk. The Indianapolis attorney said he had no co-cousel assigned to 'help him with the case, but he said he expects attorney from the NAACP national office in New York City to help him prepare and present the case.

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN SOMETHING? 1968 is history, but do you remember- state laws under challenge cannot be enforced until they have been approved as the law requires. At the same time, the court refused to nullify Mississippi elections held since the state's statutes were enacted in 1966 on the ground that "deliberate defiance" had not been shown.

Further, he said, the discriminatory purpose or effect of the changes, if any, has not yet been determined. Sarren's opinion cited at length the legislative history of the pertinent sections of the voting rights act. He said Congress recognized that voting "includes all action necessary to make a vote effective." OTHER LAWS temporarily nullified on Monday change the rules for qualifying as an independent candidate for state office and require that school superintendents of 12 Mississippi counties be appointed instead of elected. The Virginia case concerned rules for the casting of a ballot by illiterates. The state has since informed the court that the practice objected to has been discontinued.
