W. Martin has issued a plea for all local citizens who have not already done so to pay their city taxes aa soon as possible. "The deadline for payment of city taxes is January 1," he said. "Any tax bills paid after that date will be assessed a fine of one per cent for each month of delinquency." He also stated that citizens who present and pay their tax bills now will avoid the long delays usually caused by last minute taxpayers. He said collections are running ahead of last year's rate, but there are still enough unpaid assessments to cause lengthy lines during the last few days before the deadline.

City auto license sales are also running ahead of last year's totals, according to Martin, but he urged all auto owners to be sure to purchase their stickers before January or run the risk of being arrested and fined by city police. 10SHOPPING DAYS 10 TILL CHRISTMAS Brownie Contributions 1 oop VISITORS AND WELL WISHERS gathered at the newly remodeled Federal Compress 42,000 square feet of leasing and storage building on North street Wednesday afternoon.

WASHINGTON (AP) A drive for stop gap extension of foreign aid into next year waa in the works today with the program legally out of business since midnight and the House and Senate deadlocked over reviving it.

By a 214179 vote, the House passed a $3 billion foreign aid money bill with some $400 million for Israel and almost none for India, Pakistan and Ecuador. The vote came hours before the program's present spending authority expired Wednesday night. But Senate leaders refused to consider the money bill without a break in the deadlock over a separate bill to reauthorize foreign aid. They conferred with House leaders Instead on simply extending the present program to next February or March. Foreign aid backers are looking for the impasse over a sixmonth Indochina war deadline in the Senate foreign aid authorization bill to be broken after Pre ident Nixon's February announcement of troop withdrawals from Vietmam and his Peking summit meeting.

The peacemakers did not include Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, author of the six month war deadline, who opposed putting off a vote on the war halt with interim foreign aid extension. "I will not cave in," Mansfield said. The 214479 House approval of the S3 billion foreign aid appropriation came after leaders rose one after another, appealing to the House not to kill the bill. "We cannot just plunge out of this business," said Speaker Carl Albert. Republican Leader Gerald R.

Ford called the Indochina security aid In the bill vital to continued withdrawal of U.S. forces from the war. The bill would withhold all but humanitarian and refugee relief to India and Pakistan until they stop fighting. And the House shouted down all 115.5 million for Ecuador because of Its aeixure of 82 U.S. fishing boats in the paat year.
