Gadget Repealer Is Not Complete, Says Governor, Won't Sign Democratic Senators Favor Lifting $10 Provision in

Jobless Aid Bill; Townsend Calls Conference to Settle New Disputes.

(Continued from Page One)

plained their votes, stating they favored its principle, but not the method of distribution. Senator Jacob Weiss (D. Indianapolis) said: «I could not honestly represent my constituency and vote for this bill which in its present form is a raid on the treasury. It is robbing the rich to aid the alleged poor. I vote no.” ‘Senator William D. Hardy (D. Evansville) also attacked the bill, but voted for it.

_ One Amendment Added

The building bill passed the Senate, 36 to 6. One amendment was written into the measure before it was returned to thg House. This revision, introduced by Senator Eichhorn, would provide that the supervision of construction at the Lake County Indiana University Extension Building would be placed under board of trustees of both Indiana and Purdue Universities. Chief objections by Republicans who voted against the building bill was that the measure could not earmark funds for specific projects. The Republican protest, which was incorporated in the records, said in

ts par Called Good and Bad

“The good has mixed with the bad in this appropriation bill in such a manner that it is virtually impossible to separate them. “1t would be difficult, without much investigation and deliberation, to distinguish projects that are needed from those that are not needed. It is apparent, of course, that this was done deliberately.” The protest also said that the minority was in an “embarrassing position,” since it was powerless to improve the administration's bill.

Decline to Play Politics

“Those of the Republican minority of the General Assembly realize these needs and they decline to play politics .. . or to make a political tool of the helpless,” the protest said. “We believe that political advantage has been taken of hundreds of thousands of Indiana taxpayers, including much in the form of needless expenditure and waste.’ The Senate adopted the resolution of Senator John Bright Webb (D. Indianapolis) which provided for the appointment of a commission of five Senators to study methods of more nearly equalizing property assessments. The commission, of which no more than three members shall be of the same political party, would report to the regular session of the Legislature. Senator Webb explained that the discussion over the Welfare Cost Redistribution Bill showed the need for a study of this type.

Reversal on Buildings While yesterday afternoon’s Sen-

ate session lasted only 15 minutes, |

the caucus of Democratic Senators and the Governor, during which the revolt on the building program was halted, required two hours. A complete reversal on the Institutions Building Bill resulted from the caucus. After some Democratic Senators -had revolted during the morning session to include State appropriations of $1,600,000 for a State Office Building and $110,000 for a dormitory at the Newcastle Epileptic Village, Administration leaders forced withdrawal of these amendments on the plea that additions to the program would endanger the State’s financial position y 1941. The bill now would provide a State appropriation of $5,314,750 to match an anticipated PWA grant for an $11,000,000 construction program. Armory Work Eliminated

The only major changes made by the Senate in this measure ‘call for elimination of the $82,500 State appropriation for the Indianapolis National Guard Armory on N. Pennsylvania St. and the $57,750 appropriation for a new Lebanon Armory. The House amendment to add a $251,000 appropriation to establish a northern extension hranch of Indiana University in Lake County was reduced to $55,000. Other appropriations remain the same as those proposed by the Administration and call for construction at State penal and benevolent institutions and at the four State universities and colleges. Three National Guard building projects also are in the measure. Minority senators are not expected to oppose in a botly these keystone bills of Governor Townsend's “recovery and relief” program when they come up for final passage. However, a protest “against methods of the majority” is expected to be introduced by Republicans for the record. One such protest was introduced as a resolution yesterday by Senator Ralph H. Jernegan (R. Mishawaka) but was: defeated by a voice vote. His motion charged that the Democrats were holding such lengthy caucuses that they were halting legislative. work and asked that Republicans be notified if any more delays were anticipated “so they could return to their homes and lake sufficient money to pay their es.

yesterday, members said, and this brought about the agreement. Senator Jacob Weiss (D. Indianapolis), who introduced the amendment for the State office building,

this project, it was reported. The Governor was said to have told them he was unable to defend this expenditure to the people.. Efforts of Senator Albert Ferris (R. Milton) to amend the building bill to limit the powers of the Budget Committee and to appropriate $277,000 to build a Veterans of Foreign Wars headquarters on the World War Memorial plaza were defeated. ; : The new Administration amendment to the Welfare Costs Redistri‘bution Bill was brought in by Senator Walter S. Chambers (D. Newcastle) and passed on a roll call vote 29 to 15. This advanced the bill to third reading. The House will meet at 10 a. m. today for “last-lap” action in he Governor's program, after speeding two of the four Administration measures on their way toward final enactment yesterday afternoon.

House Approves Changes

The House voted to concur in Senate amendments to the bill to repeal the so-called auto “gadget law,” and the bill to construct a tuberculosis hospital in Southern Indiana. Both bills carry emergency clauses and are to become effective immediately upon the Governor's signature. - . The gadget bill repeals what were termed the two most objectionable features of the gadget law—requireraents to display auto registration cards in transparent stickers on ‘windshields and 25-cent charge for the stickers. The repealer as originally passed by the House left the State without any display regulations whatsoever, in the opinion of the Attorney General. The amendment written in by the Senate specifies registration cards must be carried in a container with a transparent covering, through which they will be visible, but does

shall be carried, where it shall pe Purchased or how much it shall cost. >

These rules were the same as those in effect before 1937.

$10,000 Is Restored

The amendment to the hospital bill restores a $10,000 appropriation for consultant services during construction of the hospital, which previously had been removed by the House, . New bills introduced in the House yesterday, all non-Administratigp, were to: 1. Create an Indiana Toll Bridge Commission, acquire existing bridges, build new ones and issue bonds to finance them, referred to the Committee on Roads. 2. Appropriate $275,000 to match PWA funds for construction of Unit' C of the Indiana War Memorial here, referred to Judiciary B Committee.

3. Ban smoking or selling cigar- |

ets, cigars or tobacco containing marijuana drug, introduced by Rep. William J. Black (D. Anderson), referred to the Committee on Swamps and Dikes. Rep. Black said he had not talked to the Governor about the latter bill, and it. did not have Administration support. He said he introduced it “to call attention to a bad situation” and crystallize public opinion “behind a good stiff law” at the next regular session of the Legislature,

Cites Anderson Menace

He declared the use of the drug by boys and girls in' Anderson has become “a menace to the morals of the youth of our community.” The House and Senate passed a resolution to authorize the Governor to name a seven-man commission to study ways and make recom-

mendations to attract tourists to Indiana. A motion by Rep. Chester V. Parker (R. Pittsboro) to call State Budget Director Edward P. Brennan before the House to deny or confirm charges of a threatened shortage in State surplus funds, published in a local newspaper, was made a special order of business for Nov.-10, 1940, on a roll call vote, 56 to 16.

Protest Nippon Troops In American Sector

SHANGHAI, July 28 (U. P.).~The United ‘States Marines accused Japanese Army authorities today of violating their agreement not to move men and equipment through the American defense sector of the international settlement.

The Japanese have been moving heavy troop reinforcements into Shanghai and sending them north to Nanking and the Yangtse Valley area where their armies are moving on Hankow. There was no estimate of the number of troops which have passed through Shanghai, but dispatches from the front said that new recruits were arriving daily in the area about Kiukiang and from Nanking and the East. Because of the reperted violations, Marine officers said it was necessary to re-establish traffic control posts along Bubbling Well Road, which runs into the main road leading to Nanking. Chinese reports from the front said Japanese airplanes bombed communications outside Kiukiang, particularly near Juichang and Tehan. There were said to have been heavy casualties,.particularly in Tehan, where a Catholic. church in which refugees were quartered, was destroyed.

LONDON, July 28 (U. P.).—Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, Adolf ' Hitler's personal adjutant, may visit London this week-end with a personal message from the German Nazi

Fuehrer to Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, it was reported today. Herr Wiedemann’s visit to London last week, when he talked to Viscount Halifax, foreign secretary, led directly to the present more hopeful atmosphere in the Czechoslovak minorities problem. Hitler expressed hope then that a peaceful solution could . be achieved in the problem. The sequel was a conference last Friday. at which Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain gave Dr. Herbert Von Dirksen, German ambassador, a message for Hitler. The Dally © Mail, often wellinformed on diplomatic matters affecting Germany, reported -today that Herr Wiedemann might arrive tomorrow and said he would most likely confer with Mr. Chamberalin ‘at Chequers, the Prime

Minister's official country estate,

Loyalists Victors in

Ebro River Area ?

"WITH THE LOYALIST ARMY, EBRO RIVER FRONT, July 28 (U. P.).—The Loyalists mopped up in the hills on the Rebel side of the Ebro River today after. reaching a line whose main points are ‘Ribarroja, Fatarella, Villalba, Gandesa and Bot. / : Sh They have taken more than 4000 prisoners and a considerable quantity of war material including one complete trainload of supplies with its crew and military guard. The Rebels have seemed unable yet to react. Nowhere have there been any signs of a counter-attack. The sole reply so far to the Loyalist offensive has been continuous air activity. = However, the Rebel airplane attacks have been somewhat of a boomerang because among the

| worst sufferers have been the insur-

gent prisoners being taken back across the Ebro in trucks.
