Erie Wins Round in Assessment Dispute
Erie city won another round yesterday in a dispute with the Erie County Milk Association over machinery taxation at the milk plant. Judges Elmer Evans and Samuel Rossiter dismissed ECOMA’s exceptions to a prior ruling upholding the city's right to tax machinery. ECOMA argued it is a dairy, not a manufacturing plant, and thus not subject to the assessment, while city lawyers warned of a possible appeal to the state Supreme Court.

Senate Agriculture Committee backed the Eisenhower approach as imports supply much of current domestic use.

Court martial set for Slayer of 6 year old girl
The Army announced that S/Sgt. Maurice L. Schick will face a court martial Tuesday for the murder of 6 year old Susan Rothschild, the daughter of an Army colonel. Four generals and six colonels will try the Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, soldier for premeditated murder, which carries the death penalty. His defense may challenge an Army psychiatric board finding that he was sane after he admitted the killing. His wife testified to a long history of mental illness and that her husband was treated several times. Schick admitted the killing but denied a sex motive. An Army investigation found no evidence of rape.
