ure for reconsideration by the Sen&te this week. : ZThis resolution, which has the ‘backing of several women’s organigations, was passed by the 1937 Legislature and if it passes this session it will be placed on the bal1ot for ‘a vote by the people at the hext general election. ‘It was stopped yesterday afternoon when the Senate, after an ‘our’s heated debate, voted 24 to 24 on the resolution and Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker ruled that the tie vote prevented a constitutional majority either to pass or to defeat it. *“ Senator Eugene J. Payton (D. South Bend), who called down the fesolution on third reading and Who spoke in its behalf, said he would call it down again “when I see two more votes.” + -Two Senators were absent when e vote was taken. They were cnators Jacob Weiss (D. Indian@polis) and William H. Rupert (D. Brazil). . : After the tie vote Senator Walter Chambers (D. Newcastle) moved

lowing a motion that they be called to vote. The Senate voted to excuse them. Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker then broke the tie | by casting a negative vote and a few moments later withdrew it after realizing that a tie vote was not the constitutional majority necessary to pass.

Payton Claims Strong Backing

Senator Payton declared that the bill was backed by many organizations who had looked into the school situation in Indiana and that the resolution was designed to “take politics out of the office of the superintendent of public instruction.” “This amendment would take the office out from under the Constitution and place the method of se-

al Assembly,” Senator Payton said” “If would open the door of the; office to anyone regardless of politics. The Assembly could also prescribe the qualifications for the superintendent.” Senator Ura Seeger (D. West Lebanon) strongly opposed the resolution, declaring: “The appointment of the superintendent won’t take the office out of politics. We have had an example of this when the attorneyeneralship. was made appointive a ew years ago. There has been more heat on this office politically than any other. . : **I also disagree that you would get a better man. I defy anyone to say that you get a better man vhen you appoint’ him than whe e is elected by the people. Denies Schools Would Benefit .. “We won't get any better schools either. If he is elected you can get rid of him. If he is appointed, you may not be able to. ..‘He is responsible to the people when he is elected and when appointed he is only responsible to the Governor.” : Senator E. Curtis White (D.

McBride (D. Jeffersonville) declared, “We took an oath of office to defend the Constitution and if we pass this resolution we are on the verge of tearing it down.” | Senator Payton declared, “I am very unhappy with the sentiment of some of the Senators. It has been a cat and dog fight only and I think .this matter deserves more consideration than a cat and dog.”
