Indiana Democrats Plan Legislation Programs Are Cited By Party Leaders (Editor’s note: Second of two stories on what legislative leaders believe may happen when the 1957 Indiana general assembly convenes next January). INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — If the Democrats should grab control of both houses of the 1957 state legislature. what could Hoosiers expect? Some'Things/mentioned by influential 'Democratic legislators are to lieneflt labor, schools, cities and towns and promising the usual “economy in government.” For instance. State Sen Warren Martin Jr. of Clarksville, minority leader in the 1955 senate, said a Democratic controlled session would mean passage of a law to legalize the so-called "guaranteed annual wage.” But it would take a big reversal at the polls Nov. 6 to give Democrats control. In the 1955 session, they were outnumbered 36-14 in the senate and 63-37 in the house. A law to permit GAW in Indiana, wbuld pjgaje labor union, leaders, who usually line up in the Democratic column. Atty. Gen. Edwin Steers ruled recently such “supplemental unemployment pay” could not work legally in conjunction with state unemployment benefits. Both Martin and Rep. Walter Maheling of Terre Haute, minority leader in the 1955 house, predicted increases in unemployment benefits with a Democratic vlctoiVMartin said there would be "no chance of a right to work bill to pass.” •

Maehling said Democrats would Institute two. means of collecting taxes which are now- evaded by some persons. They would enact a withholding of gross income taxes and collect personal property taxes at the time auto license plates are bought, he said. Martin agreed with some Republican leaders that an increase in the 4-cent state gasoline tax is on the way. He predicted “something positive would be done" under Democratic control to relieve the burden of financing school construction with real estate taxes. He said some direct state aid would probably be the answer. Borrowing from the state is just as “painless way to go into debt," Martin said. Maehling anticipated additional state aid to raise teachers’ pay, expansion of the school loan system, bigger appropriations for state colleges, tax relief to cities nad towns, construction of a state office building, and a veterinary school at Purdue University. Martin said Democrats would “tighten” control on the state highway department, so it would not have “the opportunity to evade the law as they apparently presently are.” He referred to recent charges that state highway chairman Virgil Smith sought to spend most of'a yearly appropriation on road construction in too big a hurry, Martin also said Democrats would irfove to protect auto dealers from coercion by manufacturers. At present, the "manufacturer absolutely retains control, and there is uo right to recourse,” he said. Martin also said Democratic victory would mean “truce practice of economy” in the budget, and a “better chance" to clarify “the reapportionment problem.” The state constitution says the legislature shall be reapportioned every six years on the basis of population. It was last done in 152TT r ~”” ' '

Two Attorneys Plead Innocent To Case Bribe Two Oil Company Attorneys Plead Not Guilty Today WASHINGTON (UP) —Two oil company attorneys pleaded innocent today to chargee that they tried to bribe Sen. Francis Case (R SD) to vote for the natural gas bill. John M. Neff and Elmer Patman. attorneys for the Superior Oil Co., entered the plea before Chief Judge Bolltha Laws in federal district court. Laws fixed bond at SSOO for each and set Nov. 19 as the tentative trial date. Neff, of Lexington. Neb., and Patman, of Austin. Tex., were specifically accused in a six-count indictment with conspiracy to vlo late the lobbying law and with offering a $2,500 bribe ta Sen. Francis Case (R-SD) during debate on the gas bill last February. Neff subsequently testified before senate investigators that he offered the money as a campaign contribution from funds allegedly supplied by Patman. One count of the indictment charges that the money was part of the personal funds of Howard B. Keck, president of Superior Oil, another key figure in the (6r6Ee. Case disclosed) in a senate speech that the money had been offered him. The disclosure touched off a senate investigation into the whole subject of lobbying. The measure passed the senate, but Case voted against it. It was later vetoed by President Eisenhower, who said in his veto meS» sage that he, deplored the "arrogant” lobbying tactics used on behalf of the legislation. Judge Laws gave defense attorneys until Oct. 5 to file motions in the case. Justice department attorney J. Frank Cunningham, who will prosecute, had urged that the trial be set for the earliest possible date. A federal grand jury after months of investigation indicted Neff, Patman and Superior Oil July 25 for conspiracy and bribery, The jury also indicated Patman and Neff on four counts of failing to register as lobbyists. Case rocked the senate last February when he announced during debate on the natural gas bill, that be rejected a campaign contribution offered as au inducement to vote for the bill.
