BOTSA ROCKET--Carried on a heavy-wheeled trailer truck, the S-IV, second stage of the giant Saturn moon rocket, arrives in Sacramento, at the Douglas Test Facility near Mather AFB. The 41-foot length and 18-foot width of the S-IV houses a cluster of six liquid hydrogen engines. The S-IV will be static-tested on the ground; may possibly go into space later this year in the first flight test of Saturn's upper stages. A STEP FORWABD Five hundrd eighty seven boys and girls are participating in the Yuma County 4-H Club program this In talking with Jim Williams, our agent in charge of 4-H Club work, he informs me that this is an increase of 145 over last year's enrollments. Adult volunteer leadership has also taken a big step forward according to Jim.

The 137 4-H Club leaders represent an increase of 39 over 1962. Some of this, Jim points out, is due to the development of four new clubs which brings the total number of clubs to 23. 4-H CLUB WEEK The annual 4-H Club barbecue will highlight National 4-H Club Week (March 2nd to 9th) in Yuma County.

Haugh By JOHN D. KEXDAL United Press International PHOENIX (UPD--Rough draft legislation calling for total appraisal and evaluation of all property in the state by Nov. 15, 1964 has been made public. Rep. John Haugh, Pima, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, released the nine-page measure.

He said the House would consult with the Senate and try to come up with one bill on which they could agree. The measure as prepared by the House group calls for establishment of a division of appraisal and assessment within the state tax commission. The new tax division would be headed by a director selected by the state tax commission from a list of three candidates submitted by the governor, Senate president and House speaker. The director's pay would not exceed $20,000 a year. Nine Classifications The tax equalization proposal would appropriate $1,250,000 for the work of reappraisal and reassessment.

Nine classifications of property would be set up, by which the tax commission would determine valuations and assessment. The classifications were railroads; producing mines, smelters and refineries; all gas and electric utilities; pipelines; telephones and telegraph; airlines; oil and gas interests; private car companies; and property of express companies. Another 17 classifications of property would be established by which county assessors would determine valuations and assessments. They were: residential lands; lands for industrial and commercial uses; farm lands; grazing lands; all lands not included in other classifications; single, family residences and multiple dwellings containing two units or less; com- Boy Steals Streetcar MALMOE, Sweden (UPI) A 12-yvr-old boy stole a street car here Saturday while the crew was being changed, drove it through three normally busy intersections without incident, stuck a chair against the operating mechanism to- keep it moving, and then leaped off. A patrolman had to leap aboard the trolley to stop it.

The boy escaped. mercial and industrial improvements; apartments; hotel and motel buildings; all improvements not included in other classifica- cations; household furniture; livestock; poultry and bees; boats and airplanes; merchants inventory; mobile homes and trailers affixed to land owned, leased or under contract of purchase by the trailer owner; water companies; machinery and equipment of manufactory; and standing timber. Would Coordinate The assessment director would be charged with coordinating his activities with the state tax commission and each county assessor. He would establish methods for classification and assessment of property, prepare maps and do anything else to equalize the taxing practices. The director also would have to determine the percentage of full cash value at which various types of property are assessed in the same county, within the same class, in different classes, in different counties, and as assessed by the tax commission and county assessors.

The state director would be authorized to pay up to 50 per cent of the cost of assessment and reappraisal in the counties. To assure compliance with the law, the tax measure would make it a misdemeanor for a counts' assessor to refuse to cooperate in tax equalization efforts and upon conviction, the assessor would be removed from office. Could Withhold Revenue In addition, the state would be empowered to withhold county revenue received from the state if boards of supervisors failed to appropriate money for assessment, appraisal and evaluation work. The Senate version called for a freeze on current assessment practices, but the House version does not. In a declaration of legislative intent, the House legislation said it recognized the "patent inequities which currently exist in our tax assessment structures.

"It is obvious that there has been a breakdown jn the relationship between the state tax commission and each of the county assessor since the directive set forth in the Arizona Revised Statutes which called far liaison and cooperation have not been followed," the statement said.

The proposal was advanced at the highest Defense Department level after a recent trip to the South Vietnamese fighting front by Gen.

Earle G. Wheeler, Army chief of staff. Wheeler conceded on his return here that "the problems of helicopter maintenance are large." About a third of the craft are out of action for serving most of the time. Army headquarters confirmed that the carrier repair shop plan was under study after the Army Times, a service journal, said the battle scarred U.S.S. Langley might be used for that purpose.

The 20-year-old, 11 thousand ton carrier, under the name Lafayette, has been serving in the French Navy since 1951 but a being returned to the United States. She is due back in Philadelphia March 5. If the plan ii adopted, the Langley or another vessel presumably. would be stationed in a South Vietnamese port or in sheltered waters near that country, with i complement of 1,000 to 2,000 men, including repair specialists.
