THE TIMES-ARGUS, BARRE-MONTPELIER, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1969 Appointments Before Senate This Week VERMONT PRESS BUREAU The steel doors of the Senate may be rolling open and shut with some regularity this week. The governor's office Monday indicated it will submit a number of appointments to the Senate for approval. Under Senate rules, the cases will require executive sessions. A spokesman for the governor wasn't specific which appointments will be brought up. The possibilities include Lawrence Wright, Wright, tax commissioner; John Simonds, Assistant Administration commissioner; Motor Vehicles Commissioner James Malloy; Employment Security Commissioner Stella Hackel, and Robert Bigelow, Highway Board member.

All have been chosen by Davis, but the consent of the Senate is required by law. Sometime during the week, the Senate will probably hear a favorable report from its Education committee on a bill to permit creation of demonstration school districts. Committee chairman Sen. Ellery R. Purdy, R-Rutland, says his group has made some changes in the bill and merely wants to meet more with Education Commissioner Dr.

Harvey B. Scribner before bringing the measure onto the Senate floor. The bill would create a procedure for the state to temporarily manage education in A willing school district. The state would try to help districts where education was lagging, but additionally it would try to prove the value of new programs to other school districts. Senate action during the week is certain to be dominated by the governor's second budget both houses.

The address to a joint session is expected for Thursday morning. The Senators are expected to begin their week this morning by passing their first bill, a measure to extend the life of the Legislative Council. Two bills now in committeethe Sunday blue laws proposals being studied by the General and Military Operations Committee of Sen. Dorothy Shea, R- Washington will probably stay there for the time being, for Mrs. Shea indicated last week after a public hearing that she wouldn't be in any hurry to report them out.

The Senate Judiciary committee will do some more pondering of gun control. In the meantime it can look forward to further choppy waters in the form of a bill to enforce legislative ethics.

Spaulding High School Auditorium Adults $1.50 Students $1.00 Income Tax Jump Could Bring Funds By The Associated Press Tax -designate Lawrence Wright estimates a hike from 25 per cent in the rate of Vermont's personal income tax would raise the equivalent of a 4 per cent sales tax as proposed by Gov.

Deane C. Davis. Wright's revenue projections are only slightly below those of his predecessor, outgoing Tax Commissioner Gerald S. Witherspoon. Witherspoon claims the state would realize $1.3 million for each one per cent the tax rate was increased.

Wright claims each one per cent hike would bring in $1.5 million. The state's personal income tax is now tied at 25 per cent of the federal liability. Witherspoon's plan would increase it to 36 per cent while Wright's would hike it to 38 per cent. Gov. Davis will propose a general 4 per cent sales tax later this week designed to provide the $17 million he needs to balance the budget for the coming fiscal year.

A number of House Democrats say they will ask instead for an income tax boost to accomplish the same thing.

Washington County State's Attorney Joseph C.

Palmisano recommended that Colbeth receive prison sentences but Atty. Bertrand asked that the sentences be county jail terms and also requested that the sentences be concurrent. Atty. Palmisano noted that this "wasn't Colbeth's first appearance in court" and said he felt "Colbeth wasn't ready for rehabilitation. Connarn noted that it appeared that all the crimes the Barre man committed were crimes of profit and not violence.

He said that if Colbeth had held a job he believed he would not be in court, adding he felt the man was Said Connarn, "I feel you have been given the opportunity to a fair trial and hearing on all these offenses." He noted that there were two occasions where he was given the opportunity to a jury trial but decided against trials. He also mentioned that on another occasion a trial jury was drawn but was later dismissed because the defense counsel decided against a jury trial. "I don't know when you'll smarten up," remarked the judge, noting that there were four warrants. "I suppose the state's attorney could have charged you with more, but all I'm going to sentence you oll are these four." "I want you to know that if I sentenced you to the aximum it would have been a total of five and a half years," remarked Judge Connarn, "this is to say nothing of the fine I could have imposed, which amounts to almost $1,000." "When you're parolled, I hope you have learned your lesson," said the judge, "I hope you get a job and do something with your life, because if you don't, you'll always be in trouble." The costs were waived.

-adv. NIXON (Continued from page one) gether, as one nation, not two." Speaking in low tones himself, the President said one simple way to help restore national harmony would be "to lower our voices." "We cannot learn from one another until we stop shouting at one another -until we speak quietly enough sO that our words can be heard as well as our voices," he said. And he promised, will "for our part, govern, ment listen. A few hours later, Nixon caught glimpse of the "raucous discord" he mentioned in his address. As the President rode in a bullet-proof black limousine from the Capitol to the White House, a band of antiwar demonstrators hurled rocks and other debris from the sidewalk.

None of the debris struck the presidential car, and Nixon pointedly ignored the protestors by turning to wave at the crowds on the other side of Pennsylvania Avenue. Just prior to this incident, and several times later, the demonstrators tangled with some of the nearly policemen and National Guards by paratroopers from Ft. Bragg, N.C.-who lined the city's streets. Never did the shouting demonstrators-one estimate placed their numbers at 1,000 in the crowd of perhaps within a block of the bullet-resistant glass booth from which Nixon, his wife, their daughters Julie and Tricia and other friends and dignitaries watched the two-and-a-half hour inaugural parade. As the parade unfolded, Johnson was flying through the cold winter skies to his Texas ranch, a 32-year career in public office at an end.

When the Air Force jet--the same one that carried Johnson and the body of President John F. Kennedy back from Texas five years ago--landed at an airport near Austin, a band struck up the "Eyes of Texas" and a sign proclaiming "Welcome Back, President Johnson and Family" was hoisted in the crowd of 5,000. "You don't know how good it feels to be back with you," the former president responded. "You make us feel mighty happy." The changeover from Democratic to a Republican administration as symbolized by President Nixon's inaugural address was greeted warmly by leaders of both political parties and government heads on both sides of the Iron Curtain. The Kremlin sent a message urging cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States as only way to insure peace in the world.

Even the North Vietnamese were restrained in a statement. Democratic leaders in Congress hailed Nixon's emphasis on peace in the world, but there were indications the new President's honeymoon with the lawmakers might be short regarding domestic issues. But following his solemn inauguration speech, Nixon Monday was able to forget briefly the cares of his new office and watch the colorful parade and spend the night celebrating the occasion by attending the six inaugural balls where bejewelled ladies and tuexedo-clad gentlemen danced until the early hours today. The ball-goers were exuberant -Republicans were back in the White House for only the second time since 1933. Nixon was happy, too.

He told the crowd at each stop: "In the years ahead we look back at this night. We will forget it was cold during the day and that it rained at night and will simply remember the warm glow of the Food Stamps Sold By The Associated Press Sales of food stamps in Vermont totaled $170,000 during last November with 11,721 lowincome persons participating, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, USDA officials said the stamps sold in Vermont were worth $234,000, Capital Lodges Clubs Montpelier VFW regular meeting, tomorrow, Jan. 22, at 8 p.m. Regular meeting Washington County Stamp Club, Tuesday, Jan.
