Knowles Attacks Income Tax Hike in Wisconsin
Lt. Gov. Warren Knowles voices strong Republican opposition to Gov. Nelsons plan to raise income taxes. He says the proposal would lift business taxes by about 12 percent in two years and trigger further increases in personal income taxes. He notes Wisconsin already has a high tax burden while outlining the compromise’s proposed half percent income tax rise, a 3 percent sales tax, and the elimination of prior year deductions.

United States Navy reports four sailors killed and nine injured when a blaze in the Constellation's machinery space sprayed fuel oil onto a 1100 degree steam line during a trial run. The incident follows a December drydock fire that killed 50 and damaged the ship. Identified deceased include Bennie Crews of Neptune Beach Florida Louis Lynch of Parsippany New Jersey Alfred Steinbach a civilian at New York Naval Shipyard and Eugene Miller a civilian. Injured were Navy enlisted men not in critical condition. The fire, blamed on a fuel oil pump release valve failure, delayed completion of the 77000 ton carrier by seven months and added about 81 million to the project. The carrier was near New York City en route from southeastern U S waters when the blaze occurred.
