Meet Next Tuesday On Vote Contests INDIANAPOLIS <UPI) -Republican and Democratic spokesmen for a 14-member Indiana legislative committee appointed to investigate charges of irregularity in the Nov. 8 election today agreed to hold the first meeting next Tuesday afternoon. Rep. L. Parker Baker, R-Cicero, said a 3 p.m. time was set for the meeting. Shortly before the meeting was arranged. Sen. C. W. Martin, Republican minority leader in the Senate, introduced a bill designed to put teeth into a weak 1945 law governing the contesting of elections. Martin said both Republicans and Democrats agree that the 1945 Jaw is so vague that any one of several interpretations can be applied to a specific case. Republicans currently are contesting the election of Governor Welsh under provisions of the 1945 law and Democrats are using the same law in an attempt to unseat Lt. Gov. Richard Ristine. Martin's bill provides that any state official or member of the legislature who wishes to contest an election can file a petition of contest with the Secretary of State within 15 days after the election. A similar petition filed with the circuit judge in the county involved in the contest would set in motion the contest machinery. The judge would appoint a contest committee which would have authority Io investigate all phases of the election. Filing of the petition also would automatically impound all voting machines and paper ballots used in the election. “Navy Plane Carrying 28 Reported Overdue : HALIFAX, N.S. <UPI> —A United States Navy plane carrying 28 passeng<-s was reported overdue today on a flight from Lagos, Azores. to Argentia, Nfld.
