(Indiana State College has already constructed a new Student Union building and is now in the process of doubling the size of the structure. This construction work is being paid for by the students through a $5 a semester charge through their student activity fees.) There was some raised in the committee that no such direct charges are on students at other where the state pays for new buildings before the measure was approved. Resident students at the 14 state colleges also are charged $3 per week for dormitory rooms to pay for the cost of that construction. Also approved, by the House Judiciary committee, was a proposed amendment to the constitution raising the debt limit on school districts from the pres-1 ent 7 per cent of the assessed value of the property in the district to 15 per cent.

Voters would have to approve any increase over 5 per cent, however. similar amendment was defeated by the voters in 1959. If the present amendment is approved by this legislature, Natural Mink Or Treated? LOS ANGELES (AP)-Was Mrs. Mel Torme's coat a natural mink, or was it chemically treated make it darker? The question was raised Tuesday in Superior Court, where the singer's wife, Arlene, is being sued for $3,788. Rozelle W.

Manning, fur shop owner, claims Torme, 38, bought the coat in November 1960 but has paid only $1,000 on it. The amount of the suit is the balance due, says Mrs. Manning. Mrs. Torme, 32, a former model, contends the coat isn't worth the price because, she says, it was treated deepen its color.

If Aid Expected On Plans (Continued from Page 1) 3 per cent. -A composite tax program, advanced by Rep. Alan D. Williams R-Bucks, built around sion of the sales tax to non-professional services, such as beauticians, barbers, undertakers, advertising, parking lots, and an increase in various other taxes. Johnson said afterwards there was less opposition to the 5 per cent plan than any of the others.

He reported 21 or 22 GOP members opposed to it. Other caucus sources said another score of Republicans abstained from voting on the issue. With only 109 Republican members in the House and 106 votes needed for passage, Tuesday's caucus action proved the speculation that the GOP leadership had a long way to go before it had the required majority for any tax program. That's why a special tax age to raise money for phia schools took on special sig-; nificance. The package, which would apply only to the city, has biparti-, san support from the city but also considerable opposition on both sides.

Of the 39 Philadelphians serving in the House, 37 are Democrats. Moreover, since Democrats have only 101 members the House, only with Republican support could the package expect to pass. Eleven of Pittsburgh's 13 representatives also are Democrats. Medals Offered For Shooting Human Varmits TUCSON. Ariz.

(AP)-The director the Minuteman program says there is "absolutely no truth" to' reports that the intercontinental missile cannot carry its payload to targets in the Soviet Union. In fact, he says, "we have achieved more than was asked in all respects, including range and payload." Tlis evaluation came from Brig.

Gen. Samuel C. Phillips, director of the Minuteman program and a key figure in rushing the solid-fuel missile to combat status ahead of schedule. Minuteman has leapfrogged earlier liquid-fuel missiles and won the primary role in this nation's defense arsenal. The United States has bet several billion dollars that the Minuteman, capable of streaking from bomb-proof silos even while under attack, will prevent nuclear war.

This has been done with little criticism. But reports began cropping up recently that minuteman had hit a serious snag--that tests have shown it did not have enough power to hurl its warhead the necessary distance. In a rare exclusive interview at this headquarters of the Air Force Ballistic Systems Division, Phillips discussed the Minuteman program. Q. General, can you say if there is any basis to these reports (of difficulties)? A.

There is not. Absolutely no basis at all. Q. How do you think these reports originated? and the Titan? A. In many cases, yes.

I would say that Minuteman can do everything that Titan can do, because Titan carries a much heavier payload. Q. You mean a bigger bomb, in range of 50 megatons? A. That, too, is classified. But when you have a certain job you can do it three ways: One, you can use one missile with a tremendous yield.

Two, you can! use more missiles of. smaller yield. Or three, you can send your smaller missiles to the target with greater accuracy. Cost-wise, the payoff for accuracy is greater than the payoff for the other two. changes increase crew training time and could cause difficulty in meeting production schedules.

The biggest changes are in the Wing 6 missiles for Grand Forks, where construction of silos will begin early next year. In these we have improved the second-stage engine, for even greater payload and range, and the guidance. The guidance is almost unbelievably good in the Wing sile. It has already been disclosed that it can hit a target the of an airfield runway and when you talk of distances of 5,000 to 6,000 or 7,000 miles, that is almost incredible accuracy. The Wing 6 missiles are even better than that.

Q. You say the Wing 1 missile will do the job--what is the purpose of continued testing and improvement?

HARRISBURG (AP)-A bill to increase the $3.25 annual fishing license fee to $5.25 was introduced Tuesday in the House. The Pennsylvania Fish Commission has advocated such an increase.

HARRISBURG (AP)-The Labor and Industry Department reports Pennsylvania's unemployment rate last month was at its lowest April level since 1957. The number of jobless workers totaled 329,000 in mid April, a reduction of 57,000 from mid-March.

The rate of unemployment was 7.2 per cent of the work force, compared to 8.2 per cent in and 7.6 per cent in April, 1962. In 1957, there were 284,000 jobless workers in Pennsylvania, representing 6 per cent of the work force. HARRISBURG (AP) Penn(sylvania bank resources in March totaled increase of $832 million over the amount recorded a year ago, according to itlthe State Banking Department. $5 Million Damages Typhoon AGANA, Guam (AP)-Damages caused typhoon Olive were on one Guam and three other timated $5 million today as offiPacific Trust Territory islands continued to survey the rubble left in the storm's wake. The office of Gov.

Manuel Guerrero said preliminary surveys placed losses at $2 million for public facilities and about $3 million for private property damaged or destroyed. Guam, victim of one of the worst storms on record when typhoon Karen struck last Nov. 11, was raked by high winds and rains as Olive swept past -but not critically hit. No were attributed to the typhoon. Saipan, Tinian and smaller Rota were directly in Olive's path.

Half the homes and all the crops of Saipan's 8,000 residents were destroyed. The neighboring island chains, the Carolines and Marshalls, themselves only slightly buffetted, sent food and medical supplies to the typhoon victims. Conservative Coalition Loses Power WASHINGTON (AP)-The once powerful conservative coalition in the House has lost every test so far in the present Congress. Leaders of both parties agreed today, in separate interviews, that! the combination of Republicans; and Southern Democrats that dominated the House for nearly a generation just isn't what it used to be. A review of the four major test votes that have taken place in the house since the new Congress convened in January bears them out.

What has happened is this: the Republican ranks are as firm as ever, but more and more Southern Democrats are voting like Northern and Western Democrats. However the four votes are not all clearcut indicators of conservative leaders have put their best! foot forward by bringing up bills' on which they felt their chances were best. For the purposes of the analysis the votes of the 95 Democrats from the 11 states that made ithe old Confederacy were exlamined. The total party division in the House is 257 Democrats and 177 Republicans, with one va-: cancy. Here is the pro and anti-administration split among the Southern: Democrats on the four votes: -Jan.

"Nobody Can Dictate To Duvalier Says Mark Time In Haiti, Dominican Dispute During OAS Unit Study By MORRIS ROSENBERG PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti (AP) -The dispute between Haiti and the Dominican Republic marked time today while an inter-American peace mission studied the situation in the Haitian capital. Haitian President Francois Duvalier told a cheering crowd of 10,000 Tuesday night, "Nobody can dictate to me--I am the personification of the Haitian nation." "I will keep power," Duvalier declared.

"God is the only one who can take it from me." Duvalier had just finished meetling with the members of the peace mission from the Organization of American States.
