Gov Elmer L Andersen will name the group to study a broad tax package including a general sales tax. The governor signed the 1961 tax and education bills and weighed vetoes on federal education aid and the new education commissioner's appointment, while noting criticism of the tax package for not fully meeting revenue needs and for not eliminating livestock and inventory personal property taxes. He pledged strong actions against illegal liquor operations.
