Gov. Schricker called Senate to order at 10:20 a. m. 45 Senator present.

Mr. Brennan said Administration leaders were trying to keep “elasticity” in the bill. Appropriation bills

| of the last two sessions have been of |

the “lump sum” type. The Governor, in a radio address last night, explained his program in | terms similar to those he used in | delivering his message at the open- | ing of the session yesterday. Two more Administration House bills providing for a Southern Indiana tuberculosis hospital State aid in county welfare costs were to be discussed by the Ways and Means Committee today.

Compromise Reached

The amendment to the building program bill, which resulted in a favorable committee repert, ended several hours of wrangling in the committee at meetings yesterday afternoon and last night.

The compromise was offered when comittee approval of the bill in its original form appeared unlikely Budget Director Brennan and Senators I. Fioyd Garrott (R. Battle Ground) and Walter Vermillion (D. Anderson), Budget Committee members, opposed specifying what the projects should cost.

Suggests Earmarking

Rep. Allen C. Lomont (D. Ft. Wayne) suggested “earmarking” 80 per cent of funds for each project, then pooling the remaining 20 per cent of all projects to be spent as deemed best, Rep. Joseph Klein (D. Gary) charged the proposed bill was ‘not representative or democratic.” Rep. William E. Treadway, Spencer) suggested the bill amended to limit allocations

Mr. Klein, who voted* against the | ‘eport, declared the committer was | “shirking its duty” by failing to | vote on each project separately, and charged the group was “passing the buck” to the House. | The committee failed to include several proposed additions to the [building program, including a State office building asked by Carl Mullen, Indiana Federation of Labor i president, to “give jobs to Marion County workers.”

Another was a request for $300,- |

| 000 for expansion of the School for Feeble-Minded Persons at Ft. Wayne, made by Sam Cleland. attorney for the Ft. Wayne Taxpayers Research Association. A third was a proposal by Rep. Benjamin PF. Harris (R, Richmond), that the State assume 25 per cent of the cost of new buildings at State universities whieh

by the schools. The State's share of these particular projects is to be 30 per cent.

Students Would Pay

President Elliott said the university share of new auditoriums will be repaid through a $5 fee assessed on all students annually for the next 12 to 14 years.

Senate measures introduced without Administration support which are expected to be killed in committee were to: 1. Repeal the 1937 act legalized collections of the Per Cent Club.” 2.
