Or, perhaps, Hoosier courts are getting tougher. The Bureau of Motor Vehicles today reported 73,859 court convictions for traffic offenses for the first six months of this year some 10,000 more than for th same period in 1952. By BILL WILDIIACK Governor George N.

Craig is happy to learn his eyesight isn't failing. Seems that ever since he moved into the Governors office at the Statehouse he's had trouble reading the mass of documents and letters that crosses his desk. He had to wear glasses more than he used to. The other day he called t4i in some lighting experts and was relieved to learn that his office had only about 15 as much light as it should have. A new lighting system will be installed.

Incidentally, the beat-up hat Craig wore on his recent float trip with Conservation Director Doxie Moore down White River is going to be shown on a nation-wide TV broadcast. John Dalv. of the It's Npws to Ate show is Vi going to see if panel members can identify it. JZ! Tne Governor will not be under the hat. Richard Munter, president of the Board of Works, said there have been numerous violations recently of a city ordinance prohibiting the display of posters on utility poles.

He said a major offender was (tsk, tsk!) the police I'AL Clubs. A Washington High School club, known as the PUDS, saved canned goods for a camping trip this summer, but the trip was called off. Having contributed to The News' Christmas cheer fund in the past, the boys, through member Bill Cole, asked The News to give the food to a needy family. As a result, a widow and her four children, recommended as needy and deserving by Wheeler Mission, will have more to eat. Darned thoughtful, I call it.

Leo MeNamara, who operates one of the finest harness horse farms in the nation near Carmel, long admired the roof on the old Kentucky Governor's Mansion near Frankfort. So when he built a home in Florida, he bought the roof, dismantled it and topped his new house with It. The municipal swimming pool at Decatur has been closed. It sprung a leak. About 30,000 gallons of water disappeared overnight.

The animals that have been killing sheep and chickens in the vicinity of Rising Sun have been identified by the State Conservation Department as coyotes. John W. Hastings shot one of the varmints and sent it to the department. Farmers estimate that a pack of at least seven coyotes are roaming the ridge country west of Rising Sun on the Ohio River. e.

Miss Indiana (Edith Mae Krumme) practices one of the poses she'll use when she represents the state in the In addition, there were more drunken drivers arrested, more driver licenses suspended and the same number of motorists caught leaving the scene of an accident.

The figures, released by Edward Madinger, director of the bureau's division of safety responsibility and driver improvement, listed property damage at $13,345,818 for the first six months of 1953 just slightly under the figure for 1952. These figures came after a report issued yesterday by State Police Superintendent. Frank Jessup listing at least 550 fatalities for the January to June period of this year nine more than in 1952. Other figures released by Madinger showed: 1 52,598 reported accidents, compared with 55,890 for the corresponding period last year. 2 97,601 vehicles involved in the accidents, only six less than 1952.

3 8,515 driver's licenses suspended after accidents, compared with 8,413 fir the first half of last year. The 73,859 traffic convictions included 4,879 for d-unken driving (there were 4,444 'ast year), 17 for manslaughter or reckless homicide (compared with 20 for 1952), 16 felonies involving motor vehicles (19 in 1952) and 38'. for leaving the scene of an accident, the same number convicted on this charge in the first six months of last year. Twenty-two of the motorists received three reckless driving convictions apiece in one year. Altogether, 15,069 Indiana motorists have lost their driving privileges so far this year.

At least that many more are expected to lose theirs by December 31.

Dan FELLOW TAXPAYERS: Although tomorrow marks the 177tU ivAr. sary or our uec- laranon oi inae-) dcnce, this week also marks another i por-tant birthday the 10th year Uncle Sam has been withholding taxes from the pay checks of millions of And although the Bureau of Internal Revenue hasn't received any "happy birthday" cards, letters or singing telegrams from the taxpayers, it's fairly obvious that most people whose incomes come solely from pay rolls have accepted the installment method of collecting taxes on wages and salaries as a practical necessity. The Associated Press recently estimated that I'ncle Sam's "take" in the first nine years of "withholding" amounted to more than $100 billion.

Gracious Me: wwie the withholding system has been challenged by a few. the great bulk of citizens is believed to have accepted it graciously from the beginning. Its importance in a hirii tax period was recognized by employerson whom the big collection job often works quite a hard.ship--as well as by the taxpayers themselves. It's not realistic to believe that persons of moderate income will save enough for quarterly payments or a fifth of their incomes regularly for a single collection day. Of course, doctors, lawyers, dentists and persons in business for themselves must lay money aside for their tax payments every three months.

In general, though, their incomes nre larger than that of niost wage earners and thus they may be far better able to stand the gaff. The estimated S100 billion collected in the last nine years the only figures so far available is said to represent about Of all Individual Income taxes paid during those years. Hard Time: Taxauthori- ties contend that if withholding taxes had not been the law, the government would have had a hard time meeting its tremendous financial obligations in World War II and the present rearmament drive. The improvident, or those hit unexpectedly by personal calamity, would be hopelessly in debt to their government by March 13. As a result, tax claims could be expected to pile up.

jtnarline the ownership and use of property. In addition, some persons speculate that If all income tax collections were concentrated on March IS each year, so much money would be drained off there likely would be danger of a good-sized, seasonable depression. As the law now operates, millions of I nited States taxpayers find their obligations completely cleared away by withholding and some even find they hae a modest refund coming. Painless: is another side to the picture. It is the so-called "painless pay" feature that disturbs students of government economy and finance.

They say that under the withholding plan people too easily forr-et they are paying taxes. All that matters to them is their "take home" pay. 1'nder such circumstances, in the opinion of some economists, a definite "I don't on re" attitude develops toward government spending. However, there Is little likelihood the withholding plan will he dropped while taxes remain such a high part ut our total Income. The man who pnys this "easy way" would lie the first to object to ft restoration nf the old system, where his was the sole responsibility for getting enough money together for nn annual payment.

So It looks ns If we might Just as well send f'nmn-liell, our Indiana collector, birthday greeting with best wishes for "more happy returns."

Frankfurt music critics said today Indiana's singing students and housewives did more to put across the spirit of America to Germans here than any group visiting this city. The singers 45 farm women from Indiana and 35 young men from Purdue University won the hearts of a German audience last night with a 2-hour concert of favorite American songs. The combined chorus of Purdue men and members of the Indiana Home Demonstration chorus are traveling through Europe on "Operation Friendship," speaking to the people through lie international language of music. The women, ranging from teen-agers to ivvo great -grandmothers, belong to the fi.000-member "home demonstration" group of rural Indiana women who meet in each others homes and sing for the fun of it.

They saved their money to pay their own expenses for the six-nation concert tour. Some 300 Germans filled the main hall of Frankfurt University last night to hear the singers. Although many of the Germans could not understand all the words, they applauded long and loud. They were alternately wooed by "The Whiifenpoof Song" and "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy." inspired by "Ave Maria" and "Onward Christian Soldiers'' and delighted by "Dry Bones" and "Dixie." Favorite of the evening was "The Lutheran Hymn" composed by Martin Luther and sung in German by Midwestern American voices. For the closing number.

Hauehwit. stationed in Berlin; GRIN AND BEAR IT This Triangle Causes 'No Friction at All' Shot Stops G.I. After Mile Chase A 21 ear-old soldier led a police radar team on a 14-block chase on the near north side early today, stopping only after officers fired a shot in the air. Patrolmen Walter Reynolds and Edward Teets turned the driver, Richard Stiles, Indian-town Gap, over to military police and arrested a companion, James Warren, 22, 2181 Sugar Grove, for being drunk. The officers said they spotted the car in the 900 block of North Illinois.

When it failed to stop, they gave chase. The auto, they said, turned west at 11th and Illinois, then went down one alley and east on another. The driver stopped and turned out his lights. When the radar car approached, he started up again. One shot was fired and the car stopped.

Use of radar cars at night was ordered about a week ago by Capt. Andry Jacobs, police traffic head, in an attempt to halt late-hour speeders. Two cars are on the 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift and, traffic officers said, business has been good.
