Indiana's traffic count for 1964 stood at 1,390 today, compared with 1,322 on the same date last year. DePauw Lambda Chi Unit Ends Race Line By BILL WILDHACK The Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity chapter at DePauw University has established a first on the campus by pledging a Negro.

The student was pledged shortly before the Christmas vacation period. Cyril F. (Duke) Flad, executive secretary of the Lambda Chi national organization with headquarters at 3434 Washington said: "We removed the fraternity's prescriptive clause in driven by Anita Dietzen, 29, Kokomo, skidded into the rear of the car driven by the boys mother, Anna Cumerford, 56. Mrs. Cumerford suffered minor injuries.

1962. Since we have no such clause, this is strictly a local chapter matter." Dr. William E. Kerstetter, president of DePauw, said he believes, while the views of the students will not be unanimous, "these things are quite generally accepted." DID YOU NOTICE?

The worst year on Hoosier highways was 1941 when 1,478 deaths were recorded. Traffic safety experts expect the long New Year's weekend to contribute heavily to the opening i of the 1965 traffic fatality records.

They predict as many as 45 persons will die on Indiana roads between the Christmas and New Year's holiday periods. So far, 22 persons have been killed. The National Safety Council, meanwhile, predicted 300 to 360 persons would die in traffic accidents during the three-day, 78-hour holiday period, beginning at 6 o'clock this evening and ending Sunday at midnight. The record toll was 374 in 1959. DENNIS CUMERFORD, 11, Bunker Hill, was killed yesterday in two-car collision at the intersection of two Miami County roads north of Ko-komo.

One thing is immediately apparent: Two of the major holidays Memorial Day, May 30, and Independence Day, July 4 come on Sunday, which means they will be observed on Monday. And, as a result, the 500-Mile Memorial Day race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will be run on Monday, May 31. Many including Mickey (Fellow Taxpayers) McCarty of The News, have urged that Memorial Day by law be observed the' last Monday in May each year.

Workers generally consider it a boon when a holiday falls on Friday or Monday, giving them a three-day weekend. Well, 1965 starts right out with New Year's Day tomorrow. Lincoln's birthday, Feb. 12, when many places close up shop, comes on Friday and Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, is on Monday.

i Labor Day, the first Monday in September, will be the 6th and Thanksgiving Day, the fourth Thursday in November, comes on the 25th. Christmas, Dec. 25, comes oh Saturday and so does New Year's Day, 1966. That means public employes will probably be given a vacation the Fridays before. Happy holidays, everybody.

Mickey McCarty Says: FELLOW TAXPAYERS: Be fore we get too exuberant in celebrating the passing of 1964 and the advent of New Year, perhaps it would be wise VSp I to give a sober-I ing thought as to what may Mickey happen to us in the coming 12 months. 7 We've noticed some of the experts are saying chances of a tax boost in Indiana in 1965 seem rather remote at this time. We hope they are right But don't forget the Indiana State Legislature will be in session for 61 days and we've yet to find anyone who can safely predict what a Hoosier legislature is going to do. Record Take': At legis- iauve ses sions held this year in other states, tax levies reached an all-time high of $24.5 billion, according to the annual state tax round-up of the Commerce Clearing House, of Chicago. And just look what's ahead of us.

c4 i In the new year, legislative sessions will be held in 47 of the 50 states, and 42 of these will begin in January. The forecast of the CCH is that the increasing state tax trend Is expected to continue up-. ward and! upward. In fact, it predicts that about 25 per cent of the estimated 89,000 bills expected to be intro- duced will involve taxes, with some 2,500 becoming law. natural that Indiana legislative leaders, with their top-heavy Democratic majority, will strive to avoid any tax increases, but the best of intentions sometimes ans lost in the shuffle legislative procedures.

So, let's not be surprised if after the modification of some of our present tax laws as has been proposed is accomplished, we waxe up after the session is over'' and find ourselves with new tax increases. When the Federal income tax rates were reduced earlier this year, some of the states had to revise their withholding rates in order to maintain their present level of revenue. Also during the present year, sales and use taxes were increased in a number of states, and it's reported several additional states will do likewise in 1965. Cigarette Tax: velopments sparked state cigarette tax legislation in 1964. First, Mississippi hiked its tax-per-pack rate to 9 cents a national high.

And Colorado long one of three states Which didn't tax cigarettes began levying a new 3 cents a pack tax. Colorado's action leaves only Oregon and North as states without a cigarette tax, i Alaska and California, through their legislatures, provided immediate property tax relief legislation for victims of the March 27 Alaskan earthquake and subsequent California tidal wave. Also, alcoholic beverage retailers, jobbers and wholesalers in both states were allowed excise tax relief for goods danv. aged by the quake or tidal wave. However, our main thought today is to forget all about taxes now or in the future and wish all you Fellow Taxpayers a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
