Welsh Sees No Huge Difficulty With Assembly INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) — Gov.elect Matthew Welsh said today he sees “no insurmountable difficulties'' in a politically-divided Indiana Legislature. Welsh told a pre-legislative conference of 1961 lawmakers that Republicans, who control the House, and Democrats, who control the Senate, should “work together in reasonable harmony for the good of Indiana.” “It should be possible and from my point of view it will be possible.” Welsh said. Welsh said the accomplishments (pf the 1959 Legislature, which also was politically divided, were “dramatic proof that a politicallydivided assembly can produce legislation of enduring quality and significance.” Welsh promised that when he outlines his “program and suggestions” for “a series of improvements in state government” soon there will be "no surprises and no effort will be made to gain partisan advantage for one party at the expense of the other.” He .said he will confer frequently with legislative leaders of both parties and “there will be no doubt in the minds of any member of the General Assembly what my administration’s program is, what goals we hope to accomplish and how we plan to go about it.” “If we keep the lines of communication open, if we understand each other thoroughly, and if we all have the same goal of a better state, and progress for Indiana, we can present the people with a solid record of accomplishment in the 61-day session,” Welsh said. *•> 1 Three Cars Involved In Accident Tuesday Three cars were invo’ved in an accident at 12:12 p.m. Tuesday, with two of the vehicles being parked.
