Tuesday Afternoon, February 1, 1966 Corporate Income Tax Urged--Against Smith's CHARLESTON (UPI) -A three bill package which would establish a corporate income tax has been reported to Finance Committee against the wishes of Gov. Hulett C. Smith. The bills had been introduced by Del.

The governor's succession amendment and an amendment that would simplify the process of amending the constitution wound up on the inactive calendar Monday to await the other amendments. The. latter would extend all Legislative sessions to 60 days, and authorize the Legislature to revamp judicial circuit. The House concurred Monday 94-1 on amendments made by the Senate to a House-adopted resolution permitting introduction of the legislative amendment which also extends Delegates' terms from two to four years. Meanwhile, still another proposed amendment would be introduced this session if two- thirds of the members of both chambers approve a resolution offered Monday by Sen.

Lloyd G. Jackson, D-Lincoln. Jackson wants the Legislature to consider an amendment that would permit a county sheriff to succeed himself by one The Senate adopted a resolution Monday which permits the introduction of an' amendment that would reduce from 60 per cent to a simple majority votes needed to approve special school bond issues. Prior to the adoption, political crossfire resounded in the Senate chamber after Sen. Deem, R-Ritchie accused Gov.

Hulett C. Smith of "sitting on his hands, offering no leadership." Referring to Smith only as "the man in the big chair downstairs," Deem said the governor "is concerned about loosing face if he tries" the Constitutional Convention approach again. On the other hand, if he pushes the succession amendment, "some people just might get the idea that he is more interested in retaining the chair in which he is sitting on his hands than'he is in giving the citizens of West Virginia better government they deserve, session is scheduled to end. Judiciary Committee Chairman William Moreland objected, questioning the "sincerity" of Deem's action. Moreland said Deem's motion was "politically motivated, not designed to accomplish the purpose" he outlined since i late date would not a 11 enough time for consideration of the amendments.

Deem then consented to changing the date to Wednesday, but the motion was defeated 25-7. The vote was along party lines with all Republicans voting in favor of the move. During the debate, Moreland admitted he knew "of no effort to put out a good budget amendment" this session. He also disclosed that his committee had not been "requested to consider (the budget amendment) in any great porportion." Moreland also said his committee had discussed excluding the present governor from the succession amendment, but this would require a bill that would be too broad for the governor's call and would require much time to introduce a resolution authorizing its consideration. Deem replied, "I think this amendment is important enough to put up with what we have for four more years." In other action Monday, the House passed four minor bills and the Senate two.

The Senate advanced five minor a local bills to passage stage and one to amendment stage--a bill establishing a Hancock County Intermediate Court. despite statements by Smith that he wanted no tax increase this year. Under terms of the bills, present business and occupations taxes would be reduced, and the burden would be shifted to corporate net income.

Krebiozen should get an impartial scientific test. the Federal Food and Drug Administration, in its strongest statement yet on Krebiozen, said: "Each day a person with treatable cancer relies upon Krebiozen is a day that brings him closer to death."

Roosevelt would call for an "all-out effort" to eliminate poverty if he were alive today. Speaking at the annual Roosevelt Day Luncheon, Smith said Roosevelt "taught us how government can bring about long-needed social and economic reforms." "Were President Roosevelt alive today, I feel he would be asking us to make an all-out effort to eradicate the plague of poverty from this nation." At a news conference Smith said he was satisfied with the progress of the anti-poverty program in West Virginia.

He said his state ranks fourth in the amount of funds received from the federal Appalachian program. Pennsylvania is first, he said. "If we neglect them (the poverty-stricken) we are neglecting a major reservoir of talent and potential," he said. "If we fail, the loss is ours as well as theirs." He said unemployment in West Virginia hit a low of 5.6 compared with a high of 16.1 per cent four years ago. The state's three race tracks added $7.4 million to the state's coffers during 1965, he added, an increase of $1.3 million over the previous year.

Smith said he felt automation in the coal industry is adding jobs but "there is a shortage of technicians to operate the automated equipment." Smith was introduced at the luncheon, by former Pennsylvania Gov. David L. Lawrence who criticized the current Republican administration of Gov. William W. Scranton.

Lawrence said he has announced no preference for the Democratic nomination for governor because "I would immediately be accused of being a boss or a kingmaker."

One previous attempt missed the moon entirely. The other three either landecl so hard the instruments were destroyed or met with some other calamity. It has been speculated that moon dust might have clogged instruments or swallowed up the rockets altogether.

The United States has yet to attempt a soft landing on the moon, a delicate and far- reaching step toward manned moon explorations.
