Democrat Speaker Nominee Urges Move to Expedite Assembly Action. Changes in the rules of the Indiana House of Representatives calcula.ed to balk parliamentary maneuvers to delay legislation will be proposed to the house Thursday by Rep. Edward H. Stein. Bloomfield. who is slated for the speakership. One of such methods which has been used frequently in the past is the practice of making a motion to reconsider the vote by which a bill was passed.

Another rule he seeks to amend provides that measures to be acted upon be posted by the Speaker prior to convening of the day's session. Mr. Stein would have it possible for the Speaker to give notice at any time during the session and th o hand down a bill for reading. Senate leaders will meet today to consider similar rule amendments in the uppper house. The 65 Democratic Representatives and 38 Senators will meet tomorrow night in their respective chambers to caucus for leaders.
