Tax System Changes Sought .
LINCOLN A petition drive to change certain sections of
the Nebraska Constitution which form a "straight jacket" on tax
reform programs has been announced by Gov. Robert Crosby.
Proposals to change Nebraska's tax system inevitably collide, with
certain provisions of the Constitution.
Two petitions have been proposed by the governor. If 60,000
signatures are obtained on each, the matter will go on the ballot
in the November election. No special session of the Legislature
will be needed, the governor said.
One petition will carry a "package" proposal to change the
constitution in five places to allow the Legislature to change the
present tax system as it sees fit.
The second petition will carry a provision that if the Legis
lature enacts either a general sales tax, an income tax or both, that
it will replace the state property tax.
Investigating The Investigator
WASHINGTON The feeling that Sen. McCarthy (R-Wis)
should step completely off his investigations subcommittee while
it looks into his roaring quarrel with the Army seemed to be
the sentiments expressed among Senate Republican leaders. How
ever, McCarthy made a tentative decision not to do so. He sug
gested that the committee employ lie dectors to get at the truth
of the controversy with Secretary of the Army Robert Stevens.
McCarthy said he would plan to testify himself, as he has com
plete trust in the machines.
Sen. Knowland, GOP floor leader, said he doesn't want to
interfere in the committee's functions, but he thinks McCarthy
should volunteer not to question witnesses nor to vote on issues
before the group.
