GOVERNOR MAY MISS PLEAS IN MARCH SESSION Greenlee Held Lawmakers in Check Last Year, Observers Recall. BY JAMES DOSS Gov. McNutt is not going to be able to hold the whiphand over the coming special session of the Legislature as easily as he did over the last one. it is agreed by persons well versed in legislative maneuvers. The reason is the loss of Plea.s E. Greenlee, his ousted patronage secretary and now a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governor. Mr. Greenlee was the instrument used by the Governor in the 1935 regular session to get recalcitrant legislators oaclc on the reservation when they threatened to bolt the administration on several important bills. With a special session in prospect. there are persistent reports that various groups of legislators do not intend to adhere solely to the social security program for which the session is to be called. Tax, Liquor Blocs Active The groups espousing tax and liquor law changes are said to be particularly anxious to get into action. It is almost a certainty that a powerful county and township officials’ lobby will be on hand to battle to the last legislative ditch against any attempt at centralization of their power in the state government. There also are hints that the primary bill may be revived. The joint legislative committee, now at work drafting social security legislation for the special session, has shown a reluctance, it is said, to accept the ideas transmitted to it by the Governor on what form the administrative section of the social security legislation should take. There were three measures in the 1935 session which were highly controversial and had a great deal of political, as well as public, importance. Liquor Bill Bred Fight One was the state liquor control measure; another was the bill reorganizing the state police, then headed by A1 G. Feeney, and the third was a bill to take the nomination for Governor and other important state officers out of convention and place them in the primary. A great many Democrats in both houses were dissatisfied with the liquor bill, but the administration probably stood more chance of losing on the latter two measures. Mr. Feeney, at odds with the administration, had insisted on a state police bill which he sponsored as a model bill adapted from th° experience of other states, which had operated state police systems for years. Townsendites Pass Up Bet He had support for his bill, which differed in several respects from the administration measure, in both houses. The state offices primary bill was said then to have had the support of Senator Frederick VanNuys and his adherents and was supposed to be viewed with tacit approval by Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. Indeed, the present supporters of Mr. Townsend in his race for the Governor nomination are said to be somewhat regretful that the primary bill did not pass. They believe they would be the proverbial “cinch” to capture the nomination in a primary instead of being compelled to go into the state convention in June and battle it out with the delegate blocks pledged to Mr. Greenlee and

E. Kirk McKinney, former Indiana Home Owners Loan Corp. head. Mr. Greenlee Called In The state administration forces fought the primary bill, it is agreed, because experience in the 1934 senatorial convention convinced the Governor and his advisors they would be better able to dictate this year’s Governor nomination in a convention. On all three measures, as well as on others where the two house leaders felt some trepidation about their abilities to hold the majorities in line, it was Mr. Greenlee who was called on to use persuasion or the “big stick,” which ever u T as necessary. Gov. McNut's advisers became facetiously known as the “Boy Scouts” and any test of the administration's power was sure to find them in proximity to the two assembly chambers or, in the case of the house, in the rear of the Speaker’s rostrum. It is safe to say, in light of the results, that all of the Boy Scouts were very good advisers because most of the rebellious or wavering legislators saw the light. However, persons who are familiar with the obstacles hurdled by certain bills in their progress through either house, say Mr. Greenlee was the most adept at the difficult art of forced legislative feeding. These are a few of the reasons why many persons are saying the Governor may find reason to regret his separation from Mr. Greenlee when the special session is convened.
