DELAY SPECIAL MEET TO JULY Special Session Os State Assembly Likely Next Month Indianapolis. June 4 (U.K —Gov. M. Clifford Townsend probably will i summon the Indiana legislature in-, to special session about July 15 Instead of late In June or early In July, informed statehouse sources disclosed today. The assembly will be asked to j appropriate funds for an $8,000,000 state building program. Money is expected also to be obtained from the public works administration under President Roosevelt’s new work relief program. By deferring the session until the middle of next month, both po- | lltical parties will be afforded an 1 opportunity to dispose of their nominating conventions before the assembly meets, it was explained. The governor originally had indicated that the session would be called about June 21. a week be-' fore the Republican state convention. Later, administration leaders suggested that the session should : open July 5, the week following I , the G. O. P. meeting and a week i before the Democratic convention. [ Indication that the special sesi sion would be moved back was f given following a conference bei tween three house Democratic i leaders, speaker Edward H. Stein lot Bloomfield; majority leader Frank G. Thompson of Bluffton. I and William J. Black of Anderson. They had lunch with Dick Heller, the governor's executive secretary, and then left him to hold a secret 1 conference. Heller denied that he had discussed the special session with them. He maintained that 1 Stein, Thompson and Black were being given a free hand in working out their preliminary plans. No definite information on the I session date is likely to be received until Gov. Townsend returns from 1 his Wisconsin vacation. He is exj pected back in the state next 1 Thursday to attend Lieut. Gov. i, I Henry F. Schricker’s "coming out" , | party at Bass Lake. Schricker is . scheduled to make formal an- ( nouncement of his candidacy for 1 the Democratic U. S. senatorial nomination at that time. Stein, Thompson and Black have ’ been assigned the task of obtain- * < ing pledges from the huge Demo- 1 cratic membership of the assembly i that the appropriation measure ' will be passed speedily and no • : other legislation considered. With an important campaign ap- I ! proaching in the fall. Townsend 1 ' reportedly is anxious that the leg- < islature remain in session only a ' ; few days. Inasmuch as he legally cannot prevent them from considering anything they desire, the 1 governor wants pledges from a majority that they will accede to his wishes. The three house leaders express- ' led confidence that the session 1 would last only a few days, probably less than a week. They have 1 not yet started to poll sentiment among the other lawmakers but ■ said they have received informal I assurances that things will run 1 smoothly. o PLAN CHILDREN < ' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) , comes All,” Eileen Switzer.
