House Attends Kowalski Rite;
Fiscal Proposals Considered

LANSING ()-The State House
of Representatives was in recess
yesterday: as members attended
the Detroit funeral of Rep. Joseph
J. Kowalski, their former speaker.
Also attending the funeral was
Gov. George Romney.
Kowalski, a 56-year-old De-
troiter who was speaker in 1965-
66 and Democratic leader this ses-
sion,. diedhSaturday afternoon-
about .50 hours after suffering a
brain hemorrhage in his Capitol
Building office.
House Adjourns
The only order of business at
Monday night's brief House ses-
sion was unanimous passage of a
resolution expressing the body's
"shock and sense of loss at the
untimely death of a colleague."
Although the shock and sadness
at Kowalski's death were genuine
on both sides of the political aisle,
the practical business of politics
and' government went on.
Republicans caucused on fiscal
reform and Democrats considered
possible candidates to succeed Ko-
walski as their leader in the
House.
House Republicans, facing a
Thursday deadline for deciding
what sort of tax reform package
should be reported from the tax-
ation committee, caucused for over
an hour Monday night following
the session and both before and
after the funeral yesterday, and
again in the evening.
Gov. George Romney's tax pack-
age involving, as originally pro-
posed, income tax rates of 21/2 per
cent on indivIduals, 5 per cent on
corporations and 8 per cent on
financial institutions was dis-
cussed.
It was considered likely that the
package, when it comes from com-
mittee, will have a slightly lower
financial institution rate. Re-
portedly there also is sentiment
for increasing the rate on in-
dividuals, either in committee or
on the House floor.
The Caucus also considered al-
ternative plans by Rep. Roy Spen-
cer, (R-Attica), and Roy Smith
(R-Ypsilanti).
Three Proposals
Spencer's package involves re-
peal of local income taxes. Higher
state tax rates-31/2, 61/2 and 81/
per cent-would permit a rebate to
local government units to replace
the abolished local taxes.
Smith's would levy income taxes
of 4.75 per cent on individuals and
8 per cent on corporations and
banks, while repealing school oper-
ating millage taxes. School districts
would be paid back by the state
the amount of property tax they
may currently collect and would
be allowed, with voter approval,
to levy a 2 per cent "piggy-back"
income tax.
Has Support
Rep. James Foks (R-Horton),
taxation committee chairman, said
the committee was unlikely to re-
port out either of those packages-
though he noted their supporters
could attempt to introduce them
on the floor as substitutes for the
Romney bills.
Romney said last week he op-
posed Smith's proposal, which he
described as an "open-end" pro-
gram under which "school dis-
tricts could spend whatever they
pleased and the state would have
to put up the money."
House Speaker Robert Waldron
(R-Grosse Pointe), said Monday
that although he, Folks, and Rom-
ney 'oppose Spencer's plan to re-
place local income taxes with state
tax refunds, there is considerable
Republican sentiment for the idea
and a lengthy argument over it
is likely.
Campaigning by Democrats for
Kowalski's job was soft-pedaled
until at least after today's funeral,
and a choice might not be reached
until next week.
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
(A')-When he became Prime Min-
ister six months ago, much of
South Africa and the world knew
Balthazar J. Vorster as top cop in
a country where blacks outnumber
whites 4-1.
Vorster set out to change that
image. Today Vorster's friends and
political observers find him more
flexible, more human, than Ver-
woerd the former Prime Minister.
They consider he is readier to
listen to advice from his cabinet
colleagues, businessmen and econ-
omists.
Verwoerd was the mastermind
at the head of affairs, a man
whose word must not be chal-
lenged. He produced the blueprints
for separate development of major
race groups.
His reasoning is roughly: the
apartheid, philosophy is not that
blacks are inferior to white, but
that they are different and there-
fore they should live, work and
have their beings separately.
"I sincerely believe what we are
doing in South Africa is the right
thing," he says.
He believes, too, that South
Africa, increasingly under inter-
national fire, must be strong. His
government aims at a draft of all
males 17-25. This will mean near-
ly doubling the size of the armed
largest and best trained and
equipped.
President Charles Swart ex-
plained the military expansion as
an act "to deter aggression and
maintain peace and stability at
the southern end of a continent in
constant turmoil."
The Johannesburg Rand Daily
Mail, a critic of the government,
said it really means South Africa
is serving notice on the United
Nations and everyone else in the
West that this country could be
tough to tackle if ever it came to
a showdown.
Vorster refuses to accept the
U.N. decision that South Africa's
mandate over South-West Africa
must end with the territory's in-
dependence. South Africa has ad-I
ministered the territory as part
of this country.
From that stand he is unlikely
to budge but international reper-
cussions from either the Rhodesian
or South-West African problems
are known to concern Voster. Ob-
servers say he fears external press-
ures might createuinternal ten-
sions which could upset his plans
for "white unity through tran-
quility."
