ELECTION AND OLD AGE BILLS ARE PRESSED

Indiana Senate Will Seek Primary Extension to All State Offices.

White Denies ‘Leak’ in

Report of Liguor Study Commission.

While both houses stood adjourned until Monday afternoon, Democratic Senators and Republican Representatives today rushed preparation of two bills intended to aid indigent persons. The Republican measure would - repeal the clause in the Welfare act which requires indigent persons to assign their property to the County Welfare Department in order to get assistance. The Democratic bill would intrease the payments to old-age pensioners, setting a minmum of $20 a month, Another Democratic Senate measure expected to be introduced Monday would extend the primary election to include all State offices, including the Governor and U, 8S. Senator. Rep. H. H. Evans (R. New Castle), majority floor leader in the House, said bills to make the Attorney ‘General’s office elective, and to amend the 1933 Reorganization Act, Also may be introduced into the House Monday. Other Changes Sought Included in the nine bills introduced. into the Senate yesterday were measures to abolish the beer importer system, give cities the right to adopt the City Manager form of government and make sweeping revisions in the election laws. However, Senator E. Curtis White, majority leader, declared that mone of the bills could be classed strictly as Administration measures.

“House ong a Bo icv and’ Democratic-dominated showing signs of independence, it was pointed out that the Governor's office could not expect to exert the degree of control it has maintained over every session since 1933. . Republican House menibers confirmed the report that they. would not launch any investigations while the Legislature is in session for fear of endangering their narrow majority in that chamber through absence of party members attending probe sessions.

Probe Bill Studied i The G. O. P. resolution to provide an investigation, it was said, would empower the committee named to check various State government departments and political practices. While Democratic senators have said they favored co-operating in these investigations, Republicans said they were skeptical as to whether these Senators would agree that this work be done following final adjournment ' of the session in March. Republicans said they were » particularly anxious to investigate operations ‘of the State Accounts Board, school book purchases, use of “Two Per Cent Club” funds and operations of the State highway Commission particularly in regard to purchase of black-top paving material. House action thus far has been confined to the passage under suspension of rules of a $125,000 appropriation bill to pay the salaries of the legislators and the expenses of the session. This appropriation also passed the Senate shortly after and was sent to the Governor. At least one of labor’s bills is expected to be introduced in the House next week.

Warden Reveals Transfer From Alcatraz. -

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7 (U. P). Warden James Johnston of Alcatraz Penitentiary said today Al Capone, Chicago gang leader during the prohibition area, had been transferred to the Federal Correctional Prison at Terminal Island, San Pedro, Cal. Capone, sentenced to Alcatraz for income tax violation and due to leave “the rock” Jan. 19, to serve a. final year in the Cook County (Chicago) Jail, will be kept instead in some Federal institution for that year, Warden Johnston said. Warden Johnston gave no reason for the transfer to Terminal Island. Other Federal officials recalled; however, the Government regarded Capone as “a dangerous man at intermittent periods” because of paresis. The year Capone still has to serve is on a Pederal misdemeanor charge in connection with his conviction for income tax invasion. Capone’s torney, Abraham Teitlebaum, paid the District Court in Chicago $37,692.29 earlier this week to “facilitate” Capone’s release

LONDON, Jan. 7 (U. P.).—Diplomatic reports said today that a most dangerous situation exists on the Czechoslovak-Hungarian frontier as the result of a clash at Munkacs, and that a new explosion might occur at any time.

Rumania was reported to be so worried at the possibility that she would be drawn into a general fight, that she was inclined to reconsider her refusal to agree to a common Hungarian-Polish frontier at Czechoslovakia’s. expense.

They said the whole frontier between Hungary and Eastern Czechoslovakia had been a danger area ever since the dismemberment agreements, that hatred and suspicion were so intense that a clash on a large scale might be expected af any moment. A United Press dispatch from Bucharest said that the Rumanian Government was most anxious over the situation first because Munkacs, the chief point of tension, is only a few miles from the Rumanian border; second because it was feared that the Munkacs clash might prove the starting point for a serious Central European conflict, which it might be impossible to localize.
