TH URSDAY; if/,?>,111A13r9;.• 1964 Johnstown Tax Dendarod 'lnvalid PHILADELPHIA VP)--The $lO "eccupation and occupational privilege" taxes of the city of Jetnstown and the borough of Franklin are unconstitutional, the Pennsyl-1 vania Supreme Courtruled yesterday in upholding a decision by the Cambria County In a majority opinion, Justice Michael J. Eagen said the taxes levied by the ordinance lacked the uniformity required by Article 4 of the Pennsylvania Consti. tution because those persons earning less than $6OO a year were excused from paying them. lie said Article 4 states that all taxes shall be uniform upon the same class of subjects with in the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax. Upset Decision The state Supreme Court was asked last Oct. 1 by the city of Johnstown and the borough of Franklin to upset the decision by the Cambria County Court on. Jan. 3, 1963. The city and borough cited a similar tax im posed by Allentown which the Supreme Court upheld last March 19. • Johnstown city solicitor Sam uel R. Di Francesco. Sr. told the Supreme Court Oct. 3 that the• occupation taxes are the same as the ordinances involved in the Allentown case except the Johnstown and Franklin taxes exempt those residents and non residents who earn S6OO or less. Eagen said that "the tax levied by the ordinances before us lacks uniformity and is in vi olation of the constitutional pro vision." Allentown Tax In an apparent reference to the Allentown tax, Eagen noted' that the legal power of a mu nicipality to levy a true occupa tion privilege tax was sustained, by the Supreme Court. In a dissenting opinion, Jus tire Herbert B. Cohen said: "Here, the tax is on the priv ilege of engaging in an occupa-, tion. Is it so obviously unreason able to state that the privilege, May be taxed only if its exer cise produces a return above a certain amount, that the receipt of less than such amount indi cates that exercise of the priv-, ilege provides, either an insuf ficient basis for taxation or is to Verninimus' to require en-, gaging in all the administrative and enforcement activity other wise required? In short, may we classify in this case without' violating the Constitution? Immediate Jump "The flaw in the majority' opinion is in its immediate jump, from concluding that the uni-I fortuity clause applies to priv ilege as well as property taxes, thus concluding that the tax; levied here lacks uniformity. i 'Both the corporate net in come tax and the capital stock tax Imposed by the Common wealth and paid by Peansylx a nis corporation* 'are - Mlid - with deductions and exemptions.

Called 'Sterile' Rocky's Program for N.Y. Draws Criticism ALBANY, N.Y. (A") Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller drew ap- ; plause from the New York Leg-i islature yesterday as he pressed; home his no-tax-increase, pledge, but the program he un-i veiled in his "State of the; State" message quickly ran in-; to sharp criticism. Democratic legislative lead-i rers charged it was a "sterile, barren" program because, they; said, the Republican governor; had been "bitten by the bug of, presidential ambition" and was! distracted from state affairs. The state AFL-CIO declared Rockefeller's message to the; legislature's opening session! "proposed nothing" for the' working man. As might be expected. Re-1 publicans took quite another, view.

Rockefeller also emphasized !early in his 11,500-word mes sage that he would balance his .new budget "with no increase lie taxes." The new spending 'plan is expected to approach $3 billion. His efforts last year to boost certain levies. which he called "fees," enmeshed him in a pro , longed fight with conservative Republicans in the legislature. ~The governor devoted much of his message to his own rec ord as governor, reciting a long list of "imposing accomplish ments" in such fields as educa tion, fiscal and administrative management, human rights and housing. The implication was clear that he was parading his record as a major qualification for his party's presidential nomination. He and Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona are the only declared candidates for the GOP nomina-i Lion. Located on the Ground Floor of the HUB BOOKS THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVAN PSU To Inaugurate New, More Extensive Art Display Program The University has never been characterized as a miniature Metropolitan Museum of Art but that might be changed with the announcement of plans for a more extensive art display program. Richard Fraenkel, director of exhibitions recently appointed by .the College of Art and Architecture, outlined, his duties as "bringing the out side in to the campus." The primary role of the new, exhibitions director lies in "framing an exhibition policy for the University.' Far Removed In Fraenkel's opinion, since Penn State is so far removed from any cultural center of considerable size, students should have an opportunity to, view first-rate art on campus.' During the past term the' student body was given such' an opportunity when an ex -1 hibition entitled "Aspects of the Apollonian Ideal" was held. Fraenkel feels there is a defi nite need for an extension of the University's art displays. Nehru May Visit Party Convention BHUBANESWAR, India (P)—Prime Minister Neh ru has so rebounded from his latest illness there is speculation he may attend the first open meeting of !the ruling Congress party's 1964 convention today. A medical bulletin said Neh .ru suffered a slight weakness in his left arm and leg. These show signs of improvement, it said, and, although his blood pressure is still high, his gen eral condition is very satisfac tory. In the absence of more de tailed information from Neh ru's doctors about his left limbs, there was talk among outside medical experts that the Indian leader, 74, may have suffered a mild stroke. Excellent Health Whatever the cause, party, delegates were told by the, party president, Kumaraswami: lvlakaraj Nadar, that he found' Nehru "in excellent health and spirits" on visiting him yester- 1 day morning. Organizational work and' committee -meetings- have- oc cupied the delegates of the party since Sunday. A tired and listless partici pant, Nehru was ordered tol bed Tuesday by his doctors: The doctors first advised him to take a complete rest for two' weeks, then modified that to "for the present." Thousands streamed into, Bhubaneswar, 100 miles south east of New Delhi, for today's open meeting. Nehru ordin— arily delivers the keynote speech. Nehru has shown some weakness for months. His manner of getting out of cars was often laborious. He has dozed off in the presence of visitors. Outside doctors said this could mean hardening of the arteries. They said his illness in Bhubaneswar would be consistent with such a condi tion, which involves gradual decline. BOOKS WILL BE BOUGHT UNTIL JANUARY 60 not used on this campus until Januaiw 10. Student Operated However. the campus lacks any secure place in which to ex hibit artistic creations. At the present time the most centrally located "art gallery" on campus is the Hetzel Union Building. It is limited, though, by a lack of security. Valuable art works cannot be housed there because of the danger involved. HUB Renovation Tentative plans now include a renovation of the HUB to en able its displaying of well known works of art. This, how ever, is 'merely a beginning— Fraenkel's long-range plans hopefully involve the construc tion of a museum or art gallery at the University. He stated that "a university this size should have a place where ... it could have an in tensive display of a permanent collection" of art works. As director of • exhibitions Fraenkel hopes to present art shows in the future which will reflect the philosophies of ar tists "from diverse times." He wants to display works not normally seen together and thus to "touch new nerve end ings." A university can, Fraenkel feels, educate the public as to the real meaning of art. Such a project can be accomplished by combining various sources, and this is what Fraenkel de sires as a result of his proposed exhibitions. Need Museum To facilitate an extension of art on campus, he again stressed the need for a museum or gallery. He feels that such an addition would improve the Department of Art History in the sense that exhibits could be tied in with art courses. Fraenkel said he hoped that both students and facullY I members would help to fur-1 ther the proposed art plans. ATTENTION!
