Portage Twp. Assessor Ideal Baldonl Issued the reminder of the May IS assessment deadline today. A delinquent assessment filing means i penalty $5 If the as sessed valuation Is under $1,000 and $10 if higher. The responsibility for the as sessment Is the property owners, not the governmental assessors as It was until last year.

New residents and businesses (those who were not here on or before March 1 of 1966) must ob tain the assessment forms on their own from their township assessors. The newcomers were not included In the regular mall lng of forms. Ferms Are Mailed Those who were on the tax rolls in 1966 and who are paying property taxes this year were mailed the assessment forms. The completed assessment forms must be postmarked by midnight May 15 in order to av ert the penalty. The assessment made now will result fn the 1968 property tax bills, not the 1967 taxes which, to add a little to the confusion, are also due on May 15.

That same day is the deadline for the purchase of county dog tags, too. Taxpayers can get assessment forms information or help in fill ing out the documents from their township assessors or in town ships without assessors, from their township trustees. The deputy assessor who used to go from house to house each spring, questioning residents and filling out the forms will not call again this year.

Lehman was the onlv Demo- cratic mayoral, nomination candidate to come out foursquare for an opening housing ord inance. Despite criticism of Pajakow. ski by Mrs. Smith and some other Negro leaders, Pajakowski received solid support in the big Negro precincts on the West Side. Barked by Webb Pajakowski had the backing of the predominantly Negro In dependent and Peoples Demo-' cratic Club, headed by S.

Law rence (Speed) Wcbb. and of the Metropolitan Democratic Civic Club, headed bv John Tidwell. Webb filed for the maynral nomination but then withdrew and backed Pajakowski. Tidwell's group gave tentative endorsement of Pajakowski and then mae'e it official after he related that he twice signed applications of a Negro real estate agent to join the local realtor or ganization. "Negroes are marching and being beafen in Louisville for open housing." Mrs.

Smith said, "and in South Bend they vote for a man who is against open hous ing." But she indicated the situation could change in the fall election. And she pointed out that her own precinct, 13lh Precinct of the 4th District, was an exception to the solid Negro support for Pajakowski. Lehman Leads Precinct In Mrs. Smith's East Side pre cinct, Lehman was leader In the Democratic mayoral nomination battle. But Pajakowski, who made a surprisingly good show ing in the 4th District even though it was the only district he didn't carry, obtained 50 votes.

Charles A. Sweeney, who car ried the district, had 53 votes in Mrs. Smith's precinct, which has large number of Negro voters. Fields said he plans an exten sive campaign effort with work-- ers In every precinct.

Main across from City Hall, was about what can be expected for the average early-campaign open house. There never was a crowd, but people dropped in throughout the afternoon. A number of South Bend policemen were among those who attended. Also present was Wil-lard Ingle, who was a Republican County Council nominee in 1966. Fields said he does not believe an open housing ordinance would cause any great "block busting" effort or result in "low er class' Negroes or whites sud denly moving into neighborhoods throughout the city.

Needs Purchase Price' No matter what the ordinance might say, anyone wanting to move into a "good" home still would have to afford the pur chase price, Fields said. "If a Negro can afford to live in a home like my home," said Fields "God bless him. He's-wel- come."

The 175 will be the first from this county to be given pre-in-duction examinations since December. They include men called for re-examination, some college seniors and some of the 134 men called but not taken for examination in January. Selective Service officials called for the halt of pre-induc-tions examinations in most of Indiana during January because of a lack of funds. Thirty men have been ordered for induction on Tuesday in the May call. Twenty-seven were called In January, 13 in Febu-rary, 16 in March and 14 in April.

By JACK COLWELL Irlbun Political Writer No defeated primary election candidates attended an open house Sunday at the campaign headquarters of William J. independent candidate for mayor, but Fields appeared to be picking up support from at least two disappointed Demo cratic camps. Mrs.

Zoie Smith, president of the predominantly Negro Ail-American Democratic Club, at tended the open house and said her group undoubtedly will back Fields if he makes a clear state ment in support of a local open housing ordinance. Fields, who said he favors such an ordinance patterned after the present state open housing law, agreed to be the speaker at a meeting of the AH-American group at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Lily Keeys, 1117 E.

The Star is the most popular of the publica tions. The Listener appears to be alternately cautious and free swinging. Liberian papers are tabloid size. They seldom are more than eight or 10 pages and carry relatively little advertising.

Most of the news deals with governmental happenings and African affairs. WorM news, unless it is of major importance, appears deep in the papers. Liberia has a small reading population and the language of the news media is an engrossing mixture of simplicity and stilted-ness. Several Small Magazines The government sponsors sev eral small magazines which are distributed throughout the coun try. Most of the communications personnel in the Department of Information have been trained in American journalism schools.

The Liberian radio relays BBC programs to the wnoie oi wesi Africa. The U.S. Voice of Ameri ca transmits from Monrovia and there is a U.S.I.S. library in the capital city. The government uses the press services of France, Britain, West Germany and occasionally, the U.S.

United Press Interna tional sometimes posts a reporter in Liberia, but the Associated Press never does. Tass, the Soviet Union's press service, has stationed one man. in He attended the press conference, sat in the back of the room and asked no questions. Begun by Missionaries A Peace Corps volunteer is as sisting the editor of a magazine, New Day. The publication, 14 years old, was begun by missionaries.

It now is supported by the government. 1 New Day, the Peace corps vol unteer explained, seeks to Inform the people of public mat ters. Its popularity Is wide and its circulation burgeoning. Probably the principal func tion of the magazine is to provide reading material to the pub lic.1 New Day reaches readers deep in Liberia's "bush" country. One literate person will explain the articles to several eag er listeners.

Development Firm 'Public' The Star, which Is published by the Llberlan Press, is owned by the Development Corp', which, according to Cole is "public." It should be noted that the publisher of the Daily Listener of Monrovia is a member of the National House of Represent- tives. The news media In Liberia Is unlike its American counterpart. For example, an announcement on the front page of another Monrovia daily newspaper, the Listener, explained "on April 21 that the paper Intended to name Liberian President William V.

S. Tubman Africa's Man of the Decade in a special edition to be released a day after his election to the sixth term of office. The election was to be held May 2. The Declaration of Rights which forms the first article of the' Liberian Constitution, declares that The free com- munication of thoughts and opinions, is one of the Invaluable rights, of1 matt, and every citizen may fteejy speak, and on -any subject, being re- sponsible for the abuse of that liberty." trie telling phrase in the declaration is the last one. Reported here explain that they are pef socially in trouble if one of their stories is found to be in-accurate or outside the guidelines of the press to assist the government in governing.

Cartoons Are Regulated There are no absolute constitutional rights. This also Is so in the U.S. (in Liberia one of the qualifications on the right to print freely Is that disparaging political cartoons of government or foreign' officials are forbidden. Under Liberian Press rules, any person who brings before the public by any means some information charging the pres-, ldent or diplomatic representatives in Liberia with the commls-sion of any act, which, if true, would warrant a criminal prosecution against the official, Is guilty of criminal libel. Such a person would be fined up to and imprisoned up to two years.
