'Hot Potato’ Bills In Slate Assembly Minority Leader . Foresees Scramble INDIANAPOLIS UP — The top Democratic minority leader in the Indiana senate said today enough “hot potato” bills already have been Introduced in the legislature to keep lawmakers busy until the 61-day session ends. Sen. Leo J. Stemie, Jaspet, sdid the\issues are included in roughly 100 bills offered thus far in the 'first week of the session. That’s only 20 per cent or less of the total volume of measures expected to be filed. The “hot” bills, as Stemle saw them, included those providing stiff penalties for gambling, local option on sale of alcoholic beverages, $lO per day expenses fpr each lawmaker, and Governor Craig’s plans for state government. Legislators in the 1951 assembly wrestled with the gambling bill until the final minutes of the session. Four house-senate conference committees failed- to agree bn it, and the anti-gambling measure died in committee.\ | For the last few days of thal session, several key lawmakers whose influence might pass or defeat the bill reportedly were trailed by detectives. “Strange" eyes watched -their corridors and followed’[them to toater fountains, one legislator reported. It was believed .some anti-gambling interests wgre on the alert against payoffs. Stemle said reintroduction of the gambling measure this session may —■ j-, ,U.

As one expressed it, a lot \of them ’’drink wet but vote dry.”] if they (prefer not to vote, they “skate” —leave the chamber when vote is taken on a bill. Stemle expected the expense money lawmakers hurriedly . approved early thisVsession to result in extended palms on the county level. He said bills probably will be introduced seeking* similar per diem payments for cohnty officials on the argument inflation is pres-, ent there, too. Even the Reptblicans can’t fully agree on Craig’s proposals for revamping state government. Democrats have promised! opposition to some of his plan and now sit on the sidelines to see how far Republicans can carry the ball.
