Complaint dismissed with instructions to enter judgment on counterclaim. Justice F. Henri Henriod wrote the decision. Justice A. H. Ellett dissenting: I think the law is to the contrary and would hold that the tax sale in this case is not invalid where all other requirements of the law have been met. The prevailing opinion creates havoc with titles of land purchased at tax sales during the last four years, and I cannot be a party to such mischief." Plaintiff counsel: Philip C.

According to Assistant Attorney General Grant S. Kesler, the new proposal calls for initiating legal action or discovery when an accident occurs involving welfare clients, or other individuals eligible for State medical assistance. This subrogation procedure at the time of accident or injury would insure maximum settlement or recovery to the State, he said. Mr. Kesler added that, in addition to the proposal for adding an adh ministrative clerk for on these matters, early discovery and investigation is vital if the individual or the State expects to be successful in recovery. The key proposal, according to Mr. Kesler, is to have the medical assistance recipient who is injured be required to immediately assign the State his rights against a possible third party to insure prompt action and investigation. The proposal would assign all liens and claims to the Division of Family Services in consideration for State expenditures on behalf of the injured individual for medical payments and other expenses resulting from a third partys negligence. Mr. Kesler added that any monies beyond litigation expenses and the amount of the States claim would be paid to the individual injured. It was emphasized by Mr. Kesler that the individual would have the right to employ an attorney of his choosing to bring any action on his behalf, if he so chooses. follow-throug- Judges Join Illinois Bench Conduct Body 3 SPRINGFIELD, ILL.

Changes in this years withholding tax rate are expected to leave about 20 million Americans owing large sums in Federal income tax when they file their 1971 returns, reports the Instititute of Life Insurance, citing the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS says that many people are not having enough Federal in- withholding system gives each employee the new low-inco- allowance, the couple is entitled to allowance when only one filing a joint return. In addition, employees with high incomes may have too little withheld because the maximum withholding rates are limited to 24 per cent for single persons and 25 per cent for married persons. Fortunately, there is still time for people to avoid the possibility of a large tax bill if they will arrange low-inco- come tax withheld from their paychecks because of increases in the standard deduction. The government, in granting a e break to taxpayers beginning last January, increased the amount allowed as a standard withholding deduction from 10 per cent to 13 per cent. Consequently, with employers for additional withholding from their paychecks. lower-incom- Taxpayers most likely to need more withholding are: Employees who expect to earn more than $11,500 in 1971 and intend to claim the $1,500 standard deduction or itemize deductions totaling less than 13 per cent of their the withholding is now based on an anticipated 13 per cent deduction, except for those entitled to the low income allowance. The problem is that the standard deduction is limited to $1,500 on the tax return. For example, salaries. Single employees who expect to $15,000 or more in 1971. Married employees who expect to earn $25,000 or more in 1971 and whose spouses are not employed. All working couples. earn the withholding tables assume that a single taxpayer with a $15,000 income will have 13 per cent or $1,950, in deductions. But when the taxpayer fills out his return and takes the $1,500 standard deduction, or $450 less than the deductions anticipated in withholding, he will wind up owing additional tax money. Allowance How To Pay So many millions of persons will find themselves underwithheld and owing money to the IRS next spring, that this is a good time to do some thinking about where the money is going to come from to pay the bill, the Life Insurance Institute notes. None of the alternatives for paying an unexpected tax bill are pleasant, but some are clearly more desirable than others.

Commission President Frank C. Sullivan made the observation in a report to the Los Angeles Board of Harbor Commissioners. He recently returned from a trade promotion trip that took him to Japan, Hong Kong and Korea. Sullivan noted, however, that his observations were made before President Nixons July 16 its Connally Backs Tho Raid Saw Casualty T-M- en an- nouncement of travel to mainland China within the next few months. In view of this, he said, it seems clear that we are moving toward a trade rapport developing swiftly. "Japanese businessmen in Japan indicated they felt we were premature in looking to very much additional tonnage from that source at this time, Sullivan said. In Hong Kong, however, Sullivan learned the Red Chinese "are being wooed assiduously by many nations, including this one. "We found that 4,000 applications for trade have been made by American firms with the Red Embassy at Hong Kong. . . as far as we could determine, none so far has been honored. . . "Donald Chester Ide, consul of the American Embassy in Hong Kong and chief of the commercial unit, with whom we conferred, reported many American firms seek trade with China, and about 50 have opened offices in Hong Kong toward that end, Sullivan reported. - WASHINGTON (UPI) Treasury Secretary John B. Connally said August 2 federal and local law enforcement personnel acted legally and properly when they broke into a suburban Washington apartment in search of handgrenades. Kenyon F. Ballew, the occupant of the apartment, was critically wounded in the raid. "After a complete review of the investigative report I have con- cluded that the actions of the law enforcement personnel in executing the search warrant for the Ballew apartment were legally proper under the circumstances," Connally said. "However, several administrative and supervisory deficiencies were he said. "Acfound to exist, I have ordered. . . cordingly corrective actions to be taken immediately.
