during these final days rests the possibility of a special session—a possibility which is being discussed with increasing frequency in the legislative halls. Should either the liquor bill or the budget measure become en- | snared in the final jam ami fail to be enacted, it was considered 1 certain that Gov. M. Clifford Townsend would be forced to summon a special session, probably some time next summer. Nearest final enactment is the liquor reform bill which was passed by the house, amended by the senate and today returns to the lower chamber for concurrence in the changes. Both house and senate were in agreement that beer importers should be abolished, taverns should close an hour earlier throughout the state, numerical I and territorial restrictions mil wholesalers should he removed' and wholesalers should be pro

G.O.P.CLAIMS MAKING GAINS National Committee Claims New Deal Front Is Broken Washington, Feb. 27 — lU.R) — Claiming 21 industrial and agricultural states as “now unquestionably Republican,” G. O. P. statisticians today published an analysis of election returns to support their contention that the new deal - Democratic front is broken from coast to coast. The Republican national committee claimed 221 electoral votes among the 21 states listed, conceded 23 states, including the solid south, with 226 electoral votes to the Democrats and listed four balance of power states as on or close to the border Hire. These estimates of political strength were as of last November's general election. The four balance of power states were New York and Idaho, classed as border line, and Illinois and Montana, rated by the G. O. P. as Democratic on the basis of November returns but by margins so small as to make them fairly debatable. New York and Idaho together have 51 electoral votes ; Illinois and Montana cast 33. On , the basis of the Republican claim of 221 electoral votes, the G.O.P. would need to gain only 45 to control the 1940 electoral college and regain the White House. Publication of the analysis coincided with rapid developments in the new deal breathing spell policy to accelerate business recovery. Democratic disagreement on procedure to meet the situation created by last November's . political reverses and lagging business activity extends with considerable vigor into President Roosevelt’s cabinet. Some weeks of indecision have been followed in the past 10 days with a tattoo of official statements calculated to be reassuring to business.

Feb. 27.— <U.R) Phillip Murray, vice president of the congress of industrial oi ganizations, said today that all United Automobile Workers members attending the March 4 convention called by Homer Martin would face automatic suspension from the CIO and the UAW. Murray said the CIO had investigated every automobile and parts manufacturing center in the country and had found that 93 per cent of the dues-paying members of the UAW were supporting the CIO UAW faction headed by R. J. Thomas. "The Martin forces are demoralized." Murray said. He denied 1 that the CIO intended to establish an auto workers organizing committee or encroach upon the auton- . omy of the UAW. He further denied charges by Martin that the CIO is a community organization. Martin, with only five days remaining until his faction meets in i convention, claimed today that ; "more than a majority” of the !o- --! cal UAW union throughout the nation voted him support. The convention starting here Saturday will determine Martin's future status as a labor leader Home Career Now S. < .. ..
