Welfare, Building Bills

Southern Indiana T. B. Hospital Measure Is Nearing Enactment; Senate Gets Gadget Repealer; Adjournment Next Week Seen.

to provide that the commission to! name the site of the hospital be! comprised of two Senators, two Representatives and one physician. | In retaining the original provision | of the bill, the Senate rested the ap- | pointive power with the Governor. Senators Vermillion and Claude B.| McBride (D. Jeffersonville) made | the most sweeping attack on Sena- | tor Weiss’ proposed amendment,

Debate Avoided

The House acted quickly on the Welfare Costs Redistribution Bill, | sending it through to third reading | without further amendments or de- | bate.

The bill was amended yesterday afternoon when the House acted contrary to Administration wishes | and accepted the minority report by a 51 to 38 vote. Labor forces and Indianapolis spokesmen again sought to include in the appropriation bill enough funds for the construction of a new $3,000,000 state office building, but were repulsed in a voice vote. Rep. Edward P. Barry (D. Indian- | apolis) introduced an amendment to | the appropriation bill providing | $2,000,000 for the State office building, the other $1,000,000 to be ob-| tained from the PWA. Rep. Barry said the present State House already is overcrowded and added that “the | Democrats are foolish if they are} afraid to do the right thing now.” |

Called Self-Liquidating

Rep. Adolph Emhardt (D. Indianapolis) said that the office building would be self-liquidating since the State already pays $52,000 annually for rent which would be saved with construction of the new building. Rep. William Black (D. Anderson) replied that the Senate already is on record as favoring limiting the appropriations for construction to $6,000,000 and that the House would | be wasting time to consider pushing it beyond that figure. i Rep. Allen C. Lomont (D. Ft, Wayne' "ast a request to have included in the building bill an addi- | tion to the Ft. Wayne Feeble- | Minded School. The vote was 35 to 30. The last amendment defeated was a proposal by Rep. George Wolf (D, | Peru) to appropriate $300,000 for the | creation of Messinewa State Park in Grant, Wabash and Miami Counties.

Plan Unsatisfactory meeting yesterday as a committee of the whole, Senators from both majority and minority | sides expressed dissatisfaction with the formula proposed by the Administration for the distribution of | State funds to relieve counties of a portion of their welfare costs. The House rejected this formula | when it adopted a minority report from the Ways and Means Com- | mittee. Commenting on the House action, Governor Townsend said he believed the original distribution plan, based on the principle of the ability to pay, would have offered greater relief. He said the new plan was “satisfac-| tory,” however, since the primary | purpose of the bill is to remove a portion of the welfare costs from property taxpayers. The bill to reimburse the counties for part of their walfare costs was advanced to second reading in the House yesterday afternoon, but only after Administration forces suffered their final major setback of the session,

While

Increases County Share

The Representatives voted 51 to] 33 to substitute the minority report | which would revise the proposed dis- | tribution to aid the more populous counties. The change increases the | proposed allotment to Marion | County from $287,905 to approximately $342,500. | Earlier, the Administration won its | fight to prevent “earmarking” of | projects in the $5,400,000 Institutions | Euilding Bill, when a minority pro- | posal to appropriate 80 per cent of | the cost for specific projects lost on | a roll call vote, 60 to 28. The bil! |

was advanced to second reading. Aid Based on Tax |

The majority report on the Wel- | fare Bill proposed to reimburse counties for part of their welfare costs according to the amount of such costs paid by a tax on property, with the rate of aid increasing as the property-tax portion of county welfare funds increased. Opponents of this measure argued that it would encourage counties to increase their property taxes for | welfare purposes to obtain a larger share of State aid. They also declared that the method of comput- | ing the amount of aid, as set up in the bill, was involved and obscure.

worded, it is not mandatory that this type of construction be used. Two efforts to limit possible sites for the institution caused long debate and forced two short recesses. As introduced, the bill provided that this hospital be located somewhere south of Road 40.

Debate Location

Senator Jesse E. Wade (D. Mount Vernon) attempted to change the boundary to include only sites lying | east of Road 37 and south of Road | 46. Senator Claude B. McBride | (D. Jeffersonvile) asked that an imaginary line running through Bloomington be established for the! purpose of determining the northernmost possible site for the hospital. Both these amendments were defeated. Discussion of the bill to redistribute welfare costs produced the same arguments heard previously

mittee meeting. Frank J. Murray, representing St. Joseph County Taxpayers, and William Book, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, said the distribution formula as now provided in the bill was inequitable. The act was defended by L. L.

Today's morning newspapers reported that Russia had assembled 250 airplanes just inside the Russian frontier, and there were various reports of Russian troop reinforcement. A Foreign Office spokesman, discussing the rejection by Maxim Litvinov, Russian Foreign Commissar, of a demand by Mamoru Shigemitsu, Japanese Ambassador at | Moscow, for withdrawal of the Russian troops, said that Ambassador Shigemitsu did not threaten to use force. He asked that M. Litvinov might have received the impression that the envoy made such a threat.

King Says Anglo-French

PARIS, July 22 (U. P.).—Eternal ties bind Britain and France in friendship, King George VI said today in unveiling a monument at Villers-Brettoneux to 10,835 Australian war dead whose bodies were never found. The King ended his four-day state visit to France at a solemn ceremony on the battlefield where on April 24, 1918, the Australians helped to turn back the last great German offensive. The King and President Albert Lebrun of France stood side by side on the sleepy hillside near Amiens and proclaimed the unity of their two peoples. “We stand on the soil of a great | people to whom the events which | we recall bind us with ties the years | cannot weaken,” the King said. King George and Queen Elizabeth, | with the cheers of Parisians ringing | in their ears, boarded a special train | for Amiens and the Villers-Breton-rireux cemetery. President Lebrun | left by a separate train to meet | them there. It was the farewell to

from the cemetery to Calais and sailed for home. Return Visit Planned : President Lebrun had accepted an | invitation to return the visit by going to London during the first three | months of 1939. As the King and the President | arrived at Amiens today, Lesiie | Hore-Belisha, British War Minister, | was there on a special mission—itself of marked significance at that confer

Report U. S. Ship Is Sunk Unconfirmed

SHANGHAI, July 22 (U.P). — A |

Chinese news agency reported today that an American oil tanker had been bombed and sunk by a Japanese plane. The United States Embassy in the United States Con-

| sulate General here, naval officials

and foreign oil companies were unable to confirm the report. The agency said the tanker was sunk while Japanese planes were raiding along the Yangtze River near Kutang, above Kiukiang, about 130 miles from Hankow. The United States gunboat Monocacy was standing by at that point along with the Standard Oil

| Co. tanker Meiyun.

Japanese planes again raided Hankow, the provisional capital which the Chinese Government was expected to abandon soon. Nine bombers dropped 40 bombs on the airdrome but most of them missed their mark.

Capital to Be Moved Indications that the Chinese Gov-

ernment anticipated fighting in the |

Hankow zone soon were seen in orders to all civil and administrative offices not directly connected with

| the war, to move by the end of the

month to Chungking, farther up the Yangtze in Czechuan Province. The order included the Foreign Office and as a result all embassies also will move to Chungking. Independent reports showed that the Japanese were making no progress In their drive up the Yangtze. The Chinese have stopped all adsouth of Kiukiang and heavy Japanese reinforcements were arriving daily for a new offensive,

Despite incessant bombings, connonadings and machine-gunnings, the Loyalists asserted their lines remained intact and that all insurgent attacks had been repulsed. A Government communique claimed that the Rebels have been unable to advance for three days. The Rebels were reported to have massed their greatest air strength to blast a path through the Loyalist fortifications and permit ground trops to advance.
