Senate Passes Modified Form Os Craig Bill Highway Measure Passed By Senate In Modified Form INDIANAPOLIS UP — The Indiana senate passed In modified form today Governor Qpaig's highway reorganisation bill and majority Republicans, planned a caucus to determine the fate of other Craig I proposals. The house bill to set up a threeman highway commission passed 42 to : 1 with minority Democrat support. Only Sen. D. Russell Bontrager R-Eikhart voted against it, “To vote otherwise would be inconsistent with previous stands I. have taken.” Bontrager said. He explained he disliked a clause which placed no ceiling on salaries for commission members. -* Craig had asked for a one-man director. The senate amended 'the bill to make it three-man bi-par-V tisan. The bill also organizes the department in three divisions— I maintenance, construction and au* yUing.J. - I . T It was amended to keep the ln- _ fiiana toll road commission a separate unit. Democrats expressed their view through minority leader Leo J. Stemle Jasper who said it would pass without their 10 votes but the bill is “far from being as vicious as, when the house passed it” by a 58-28 vote. x At the same time, the House defeated 63 to 14 a bill to put highway department sub-district employes on a bipartisan 50-50 personnel system. Sen. John W. Van Ness R-Vpl-pa raise said a GOP caucus this afternoon would determine the majority course on Craig’s health and , corrections department bills. Van Ness told committee chairmen thsy’d better get Jheir bills out et committee today or face the probability of having them kjst in the rptfr of winding up the 61-day - Monday. As house and senate reconvened after a week-recess, there was no hint of strained relations between house and senate leaders. Tempers were short and leadership at odds Saturday. The house was provoked with the senate, the senate irked at the house, quite a few legislators disgrunteld with Governor Craig, and Craig more or less unhappy about what lawmakers have done and haven’t done. Lt was a confused rhubarb distinctive of Hoosier politics. The many-sided dispute built up through the weeks erupted over passage of an anti-gambling bill, now on Craig’s desk and eligible’ (■ for Aighature-into immediate laW. Senators approved the house bill with no votes to spare, expecting the amended version to be argued in house-senate conference committee. That is where it died in the 195 J session. . But representatives quickly okay . I es senate amendments, including one exempting fraternal and religious organizations. Opponents fcaid the exemption was unconstitutional. Lt. Gov. Harold Handley, whc observers said was piqued at the house action, abruptly adjourned the sjenaterfor the week end despite many house bills piled up for a& ( tjon. He said he did so because of “lack of cooperation between th< i (Turn T® Pam EUrht) .. “— I Herman Heuer Dies Early This Morning Funeral Services Thursday Afterndori Herman 'M.

(Bjj Rjiv.

"Do you believe that Christ died for our sins, and rose again?” lie wa « asked. "Os course I do." “If he were here on earth in “bodily and visible form, what woiuld you do?” “I would go to him at ohcfe," “What would you say to him?” “I would tell him that 1 lath a lost sinner.” "What would you ask him?” "To forgive and siivdime.” "Then, what would he The man made no reply.!

When wq believe on Christ, with oiir whole heart and accept Him as our Skvibr, then He will supply us with that , "joy unspeakable and full bt glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls." y, ; i
