with the Governor,” Rep. Lutz said. “He didn’t take a final stand one way or the other. I don't know whether we will introduce an amendment or not. “We will have to find out what the sentiment is. We don't want to put anything in the bill which we feel the people don’t want.” Building trades unions here are expected to decide whether they will present another request to the Governor, the delegation said. Bartholomew County citizens of-
land and Floyd County citizens offered 75 acres. State Welfare Department officials recommended that the institution be placed in or near the southern section of the State.
Changes Seen in 1939

Confusion resulting from attempts to remove objectionable features from the windshield gadget
law brought announcement Administration leaders that motor vehicle laws probably would be recodified in the regular 1939 session, | The Attorney General's office | warned that repeal of the gadget | law, as provided in a bill up for passage today in the House, would leave Indiana without any auto vegistration display regulations. Mentioned in the original discussion of the institutions building program, the proposed $3,000,000 State office building was not included, however, in the Governor's list of recommendations when the gpecial session opened Tuesday. He asked the session to limit the appropriation for the State share of the building program to $8,000,000 in order to preserve a balance However, he had indicated earlier | that he would not oppose the office building if it was introduced independently Labor leaders said they thought | the building should be included in the program to increase the “recovery spending” in Indianapolis, which has a high relief load Rep. Edward Barry (D.

Many Legislators said some of these agencies were temporary in nature, and that a 16-story office building

{ Gottschalk Cites Need
| #r. Gottschalk, in explaining the | bill to the Senate today, said that Southern Indiana is a “highly in- | fected” area and has need for a | hospital. The state is not to be | zoned, however, and patients could | be sent from northern counties. Senator Jess E. Wade (D. Mount Vernon), attacked the provision of the bill which would authorize naming a commisison to locate the hospital south of Road 40.
“I think the Senate should fix the
| location in one of the counties which { needs it,” he said.
“There are many problems to be considered in respect to location,” Mr. Gottschalk replied.
Question Cost Estimates
Several Senators also questioned the construction estimate of $4300 per bed for the hospital. Mr. Gott-
| schalk said the service units and
utilities for the proposed hospital were increasing the costs. He said plans contemplated easy enlarge-
{ ment of the hospital in the future.
The Senate, as a committee of the whole, also discussed the bill to redistribute welfare costs to relieve counties of a portion of the burden they now carry. Both the tuberculosis hospital and the redistribution of welfare cost bills are companion measures to the ones now being considered in the House. Mr. Gottschalk told the Senators
! the bill had precautionary provisions | which would prevent large co
ties from padding their welfare budgets in order to receive a larger distribution of State funds.
Aid on Sliding Scale
The distribution of State funds to |
counties as provided in the bill would be on the basis of a sliding scale which would give relatively larger amounts of State funds to counties least able to bear welfare
| costs, he said.
The resolution of Senator William E. Jenner (R. Paoli), minority floor
| leader, that provisions of the In-
diana and Federal Constitutions

defeated. “The junior Senator from the State of Indiana has recently introduced in the Senate of the United States a bill seeking to curb and the newspapers of the State so that they might print only such news and editorial matter as might be approved by the Federal Administration in power” the resolution said. The resolution asked that Senator Minton be informed of constitutional provisions guaranteeing a free press. Senators Raymond €. Soh! (D. Dyer) and Harvey J. Post (D. Ham-

ceived only on Administration bills, and consideration of independent measures is being discouraged because of the brief session. | The Ways and Means Commitiee has agreed on amendments on the measures to redistribute welfare | costs and to appropriate $5,400,000 | for an institutions building program. | As originally drafted, the institutions building program hill provided only for the “lump sum” appropriation to match an anticipated WPA { grant of $4,711,184. In its amendment, the committee specified the institutions to be in- | cluded in the program, but did not designate particular amounts for individual projects. According to State Budget Director Edward P. Brennan, this still left the “elasticity” in the bill and the Governor and the State Budget Committee would be able to use their judgment on the distribution of funds to particular institutions.
University Projects Included
Projects designated by the Ways and Means Committee in its amendment are: Indiana University—Auditorium, Purdue University—Construction of a new auditorium. Ball State Teachers College— Completion of gymnasium through
construction of a swimming pool, and erection of one dormitory. Indiana State Teachers College— Construction of an auditorium. Women's Prison—Construction of one cottage, a heating plant, a chapel and storage buildings and tunnels. Boys’ School—Erection of three double dormitories, one single dormitory, building tunnels and a power plant. Girls’ School—Construction of a chapel and recreation building. Central State Hospital—Construction of one ward building and one employees’ building. : Logansport State Hospital—Construction of a men’s ward building, women’s ward building and an employees’ building and completion of third floor on the hospital building.
Evansville State Hospital—Building an employees’ building. Richmond State Hospital—Remodeling the auditorium and employees’ building.
Major Institution
Muscatatuck Colony for Feeble Minded—Build a major institution. This project included building =a school and recreation building, six dormitories, an administration building, two infirmaries, one service building, a farm colony dormitory, one women attendants’ building, a men attendants’ building, three twobedroom residences, one three-bed-room sipff residence, service and power plant and installation of sewer lines and completion of a wing of the hospital. Epileptic Village—Construction of one men’s infirmary. Tuberculosis Hospital for southern Indiana—Construction of a hospital power plant and mechanical equipment. Deaf School—Installation of boilers. State Health Board Building— Construction of a building on the grounds of the Indiana University medical center, Indianapolis. Armories—Construction of buildings in Lebanon, Spencer and Attica and improvement of two armories in Indianapolis. Fair Grounds—Building a new 4-H Club building.
‘Cushion Fund’ Approved The committee also provided that
an undesignated amount of money
could be spent by the Budget Committee for landscaping at all institutions and approved a “cushion fund” as required by PWA regulations. The Ways and Means Committee's amendment to the welfare cost redistribution bill would make this measure operative only during 1939, to enable the regular session, which convenes in January, to give the bill further study. A minority committee report drafted by Reps. Benjamin F. Harris (R. Richmond) and Allen C. Lomont (D. Ft. Wayne) would eliminate the provisions in the bill to

base the amount of State payments to counties on the ability of counties to carry welfare costs unaided. At yesterday's committee hearing on this measure, delegations from large, industrial counties attacked the formula provided in the bill for distributing the State funds. The measure, as introduced, was defended by L. 1. Needler, Indiana Farm Bureau official. State Welfare Director Thurman Gottschalk and Charles B. Marshall, Welfare Department division of general administration director, explained that the bill would appropriate $2,000,000 in State funds, which would be distributed to counties to reimburse them for their ret welfare costs during 1939. Net welfare cost of counties means the welfare cost now paid by local property taxes. Under the distribution formula, the higher the net county welfare cost is in proportion to the total assessed, the larger will be the disbursement of State funds.

We already have cut all other items down to the bone. We cannot sacrifice police and {ire protection, for exsmile, in order to budget for relef, Mentions State Surplus
“The State has its huge surplus of over 20 millions. Much of this came from the cities which pay much of the State taxes. If the State would return 10 millions to
local levy, we could solve the probem. “This is a much more serious problem than Governor Townsend's PWA institutional building program.” He said the League's executive committee, had conferred with Legislature leaders and then “laid the problem squarely in the Governor’s lap.” Concurring in his statements were Mayor William N. Teal of Lafayette, League president; Mayor Harry W. Baals, Ft. Wayne; Mayor William H. Dress, Evansville, and Judge George H. Leonard, Ft. Wayne associate city attorney. Mayor Teal said, “We need more policemen in Lafayette. We can’t take away from departments like that to buy materials for WPA projects.” The League warned that unless the present special session comes to the cities’ aid, a second special sesscion may be necessary “before winter is over.” Mr. Jennings estimated that 175 per cent of all WPA spending in Indiana is in cities and the rest in smaller towns. Under Indiana law, mayors have no direct responsibility for relief.
