posed slashes to the $5,651,000 State

appropriation to match antiicipated PWA funds might be modified by the Senate. Under the plan considered by leaders yesterday this appropriation would be reduced approximately $1,255,400 by elimination of pro"posed projects at the four State universities and teachers’ colleges and reduction of the National Guard Armory building program. ; Elimination of the projects at the four educational institutions for which the State was.to provide 30 per cent of the total cost, the schools 25 per cent and the Federal Government 45 per cent, would reduce the appropriations $855,900. Ledders today discussed a possibility of including all or some of these projects in the program as provided in ¢he House Bill.

Named on Committee

Senator Lebanon) was appointed to the Finance Committee by Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of State Welfare Director Thurman Gottschalk. Senators considered the amended House Southern Indiana Tuberculosis Hospital Bill on second reading. A companion measure already has been passed by the Senate, but since the House acted on this portion of tHe Governor's program first, the Senate bill is to be allowed "to die in House committee. This House bill was amended by the Senate Finance Committee to include those changes which the Senate wrote into its companion measure last week. When passed by the Senate, the House will be asked to concur in the upper chamber’s amendment to this bill. Materials Debated

A heated floor fight developed over the proposed amendment of Senator William Jenner (R. Paoli) which would require that this $650,000 institution be constructed of Indiana limestone. Majority leaders moved to kill this amendment after they said they had been informed that PWA officials said it might endanger securing of a Federal grant for this project. “Other states are doing the same thing we are trying to do in this amendment , . . protect their home industries,” Senator Jenner said. “Of course, I am selfish about this. This industry is located in my district. This amendment would aid the workers. This amendment which is now in the present bill, is the work of someone that claims to have heard something from a minor official in the PWA office in Chicago.” Senate leaders conferred yesterday on revisions. of ‘the “must” measures passed by the House. Changes Drafted

Changes in the program being considered by the Senate and subject to further modifications at the Governor’s conference are: 1. Restore to the Welfare Costs Redistribution Bill some of the “ability to pay” features which were cut from the original bill by the House.. 2. Reduce the appropriations in the Institutions Building Bill. . Governor Townsend said that while the changes originated among the Senators, that he had discussed the matter with them and was “satisfied” with the revisions. As amended and passed by the House, the Welfare Cost Redistribution Bil: would provide for a distribution of State funds to counties on a flat percentage basis, directly opposite to the sliding scale formula contained in-the original Administration measure. Under one of the proposals being considered by Senate leaders, some " of the “ability to pay” features of the original bill would be retained, since no State funds would be dis~ tributed to counties having low property tax rates for welfare. The property tax rate necessary to pay the net cost of welfare in counties for the 12 months ending June 30, 1938, would be used as the basis for the State distribution.

2 Million Limit

Counties where this rate ranged from nothing to 10 cents would receive no State funds. For the amount raised by a rate in excess lof 10 cents in each county, the State would return a certain per cent, providing that the total State reimbursement to all counties would not exceed $2,000,000. ; As amended by the House, the killed and the bill was rewritten to provide that the State would relieve the counties of an additional 5 per cent of the cost of old-age pensions, 10 per cent of the cost of dependent children with. relatives and 50 per cent of the cosi of caring for children placed with individuals or institutions.

original sliding scale formula was

The decision to cut the appropriations in the Institutions Building Bill was made yesterday at a conference of Senate leaders with Governor Townsend and followed a report by Budget Director Edward P. Brennan showing that the present rate of expenditures, plus disbursements by the special session, would reduce the State’s $24,000,000 bajance to less than $4,000,000 by 1941. PWA Aid Anticipated

On all projects State leaders are anticipating that the PWA will furnish 45 per cent of the total cost. For everything in the program but the improvements at the four State

universities and colleges, the State is to provide the remaining 53 per cent in funds. In its revision of the Institutions Building Bill, the House incorporated a proposed appropriation of $251,000 in State funds to establish a northern branch of Indiana University in Lake. County. Senate leaders said that under the compromise proposal this amount would be trimmed to $55,000. : State Welfare Director Thurman Gattschalk, Harry Templeton, State Fair manager; Dr. Verne K. Ha:vey, State Health director; Dr. Edward C. Elliott, Purdue Uaiversily president, and Adj. Gen. Elmer F. Straub yesterday testified before the Senate committee of the whole on need for various individual projects in the Institutions Building Bill.

Overcrowding Is Concern

Senate leaders said they were of the opinion that the most pressing need was to relieve overcrowded conditions in the State benevolent institutions, .to construct a new 4-H Club building at the State Fau Grounds and a new building to house the .State Health Board st the Indiana University Medical center here. : Senators William D. Hardy. (D. Evansville), William B. Janes (D. New Albany), Walter R. Arnold (D, South Bend) and Ralph H. Jernegan (R. Mishawaka) were named to the special committee to eliminate the legal “bugs” from the bill to repeal the gadget law. According to an Attorney General’s opinion, this measure as passed by the House would leave the State without any regulations for automobile title card holder display. The Senate amended this bill in committee with the idea of putting into force those regulations in effect prior to the enactment of the 1937 gadget law. While the "bill was on second reading yesterday, members said there still seemed to be some technical * legal difficulties “with the Senate amendment. The House recessed’ yesterday after passing the Welfare Costs Redistribution Bill, 86 ty 0, and the Institutions Building Bill, 81 to 9. Nine Republicans dissented. The measures appropriated a total of . $7,651,000, and are keystones of the Administration’s recovery and relief program which the| special session was called to enact, With their passage, the House completed its part of the Administration’s program, Many Bills to Die

A batch of non-Administration bills which have been introduced in the House during the last week apparently will die in committee without ever coming up for consideration. Rep. Harry Muller (D. Anderson) made a motion to bring them out on the floor. Rep. Martin J. Downey (D. Hammond) an Administration supporter, moved that Rep. Muller's motion be made a special order of business for Aug. 14 and the motion passed. The Legislature will not be in session ‘Aug. 14. Motions can be made any time to bring the bills out again, ‘but it is likely they would receive the same handling. Rep. Charles Coffin (R. Bloomingdale) introduced a joint resolution directing the Governor to appoint a four-man commission to in-

vestigate the Alcoholic Beverages, |

Act and recommend changes to the 1939 Legislature. It was sent to Judiciary B Committee with other non-Administration measures. Rep. Coffin’s resolution charged the Beverages Act: 1. Has failed to prevent return of the saloon. 2. Is a subterfuge to grant beer importers’ rights to political leaders for personal enrichment. 3. Has created monopoly, hypocrisy, corruption and “an open alliance of liquor and politics.” ret rt ned ee

Maverick Blames

Anti-Roosevelt Dollars > (Editorial, Page 10)

SAN ANTONIO, July 26 (U.P. .— Rep. Maury Maverick, leader of the House liberal bloc defeated for renomination in the Democratic primary Saturday, charged today that unnamed enemies ‘ of President Roosevelt had raised “a huge sum of money” to defeat 10 House liberals. - He blamed his defeat by 546 votes on this money “poured into Kilday’s (Paul J. Kilday, his successful opponent) campaign by conservatives and reactionary businessmen” and on the San Antonio city and county political machine of Mayor C. K. Quin. : There were 50,000 “anti-Roose-velt” dollars thrown into the campaign to defeat him, Rep. Maverick claimed. A large part of the money, he said, was used among church members to stir up religious prejudice,

Huston moved from Albemarle Island toward Cocos Isle. Mr. Roosevelt set out alone in a small boat yesterday when the Houston anchored at Albemarle. The fish were so plentiful that he found no sport in reeling them in with a rod, so he substittued a light trout pole and continued to catch them. Most of the fish were small, but game, and the President spent several hours in the boat.
