Nihiser denies drinking as weather blamed for crash
In a trial for second degree manslaughter, Craven Nihiser testified he had no alcohol the night of the Haydenville crash that killed Mrs. Mary Krannitz. He blamed misty rain and glare from another car for blinded driving and said he did not see the parked coal truck or flares. The defense presented witnesses who said Nihiser showed no signs of intoxication and had not consumed alcohol at Russell Anders' beer parlor. The case advanced toward jury deliberation after physicians noted possible alcoholism effects.

Senate panel backs new business tax plan gains edge
Senate Finance Committee members, rebuffing the administration on two tax issues, said their revised business tax plan would raise more revenue than the House bill. Chairman Harrison said the flat tax on corporate income would bring in $97 million more than the undistributed profits levy. He added that if business improves, revenues would rise further. Treasury estimates pegged the capital gains levy at about $42 million, near the House figure. The move signals a fight on the Senate floor early next week as administration and lawmakers clash over the tax revisions. Barkley opposed removing the profits levy and may push for its restoration. Harrison noted many other measures would be considered.
