Replacing the $47,163 Tax Lien Filed Against Ex-Sparta Banker SPARTA, Wis. A $47,163 federal tax lien has been filed against Stuart H. Latimer of Sparta, according to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) records. The lien is for individual income taxes allegedly owed from 1962 to 1966 by Latimer, former president the Monroe County Bank, Sparta. In 1967 Latimer was sentenced to three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to a charge of misapplication of bank funds totaling $19,525.

Latimer was removed as president of the bank after apparent shortages of $85,000 were discovered. At present he is vice president of Jelco Buses, Waukesha. Mao thoughts are signs mostly acclaiming the anniversary and proclaiming China a world revolutionary leader. Decorations went up late this year. The Bank of China delayed until Wednesday erection on the top of its building a sign saying "'Long Live Chairman Mao." Scores of dinners, parties and other functions have been arranged by Communist banks, companies, newspapers, unions and other organizations.

A Chinese Communist newspaper said in a commentary on National Day that Red China "must continue to root out the thought of big power chauvinism and the tendency to formalism which arises out of holding fast to old things and old habits."

The newspaper's commentary appeared to be an elaboration on "reforms" which China has given as a reason for canceling two major National Day events in Peking, a parade and the banquet in the Great Hall of People on the eve of the anni- versary.

The Red Chinese Foreign Ministry said dropping the banquet in favor of a 90-minute reception was "another reform we have made." Rumors have circulated that the parade, where Mao makes a personal appearance each year, was dropped because the party chairman was dead: or very ill. None of the rumors has been confirmed by reports from China.
