Most important of tile house bills sent ahead to third reading were: A plan to eliminate the present law that persons who own property must pledge it to the state as a condition for receiving old age assistance; a measure which would impose • strict penalties for the use, possession or sale of marijuana, and a bill granting a $5,000 pension to the widow of State Policeman Paul V. Minneman, who was slain by the notorious Al Brady gang of thieves. The house passed a bill appropriating SIO,OOO for expenses of any opposition necessary to prevent changes in railroad freight i rates which would give the south ■ any advantage over Indiana agriI culture or industry. The vote on ! this measure, approved by Gov. I M. Clifford Townsend, was 92 to 2, and the proopsal now goes to the senate.

At Billy Halop’s suggestion, the I “Dead End” kids are looking for a . cheap ranch in the valley to rent for a clubhouse. Story behind the move is funnier, though.

Since De Mille has been directing "Union Pacific” from a stretcher there's more drama behind the camera than in front of it.

Quotation of the Madrid Peseta i was suspended on the London I money market as financiers await- I ed news of the fate of the loyalist Catalonian army. It had looked like all was over when news of the loyalist stand came. It was like the situation at ; Madrid, in the early days of Nov- ' ember. 1936. when nationalist troops were waiting to march in: and end the civil war. This time ; they were overwhelmingly superior in numbers and equipment and i their triumph was taken for grant-' ed. But the loyalist government was establishing itself farther north, at Figueras and Gerona; the loyalist army was retreating apparently in good order, and loyalist leaders asserted that they , would fight on. In central Spain,’ a formidable army remained, under Gen. Jose Miaja, to challenge the nationalists. o EICHER LISTS I ■iiNTINI’ED FRO? rAGE ONE) 05; Berne. $11.04; Decatur. $68.02.

Amlle, “lame duck” Wisconsin Progressive, for the six-year, SIO,OOO-a-year term on the interstate commerce commission. Amlle, 41, served three terms in the house, and was one of the extreme left wingers before his defeat in the senatorial primary, last summer.

NO MORE MUST BIILS PLANNED President Completes Major Legislative Suggestions Washington, Jan. 25 — (UP) — The white house indicated today that President Roosevelt has virtually completed his major legislative recommendations to congress lor thia session. The indication, from White House secretry Stephen T. Early, was in line with suggestions from administration sources that the President proposes to confine legislative reconimentations largely to issues which have already been raised. The white house statement raised a question whether Mr. Rooseveit will submit recommendations on two controverial subjects on which some action has been anticipated at this session. Those issues are revision of tho national labor relation act and government reorganization. Demand for revision of the labor net lias been voiced repeatedly but thus far there has been no indication that the White House, itself, would propose any change’ Wagner act amendments sought by the American federation of labor and others are expected to be introduced soon, however. Government reorganization was referred to by Mr, Roosevelt in his annual message to congress but no specific recommendation tor action has been sent to capitol hill. Proposals thus far submitted to congress by the President include: $552,000,000 special national defense program; Broadening of social security act to pay larger old age pension sooner; Broad national health program, submitted for study without specific recommendation for passage; Railroad rehabilitation legislation; Extension of $2,000.000.0C0 currency stabilization fund and powers to cut gold value of the dollar; Reorganization of federal communications commission. o PLEASANT MILLS Mrs. Orville Morrison and son Wilford. spent Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. John Clerk.
