The House also advanced to third reading its bill to reduce the gross

income tax for retailers from 1 per cent to 1% of 1 per cent and the Administration’s hygenic marriage bill. The latter House measure would require applicants for marriage licenses to have blood tests for - syphilis. Textbook Report Ready Soon

Meanwhile, the Senate Textbaok

Investigating Committee was to

complete the drafting of its report which it is to present to the upper chamber tomorrow. The House bill prohibiting the retail sale and use of fireworks except under permit by the State Fire Marshal was to be recommended for passage by the Senate Criminal Codes Committee today. This bill has met little opposition since its . introduction by Rep. Edward Stein (D. Bloomfield). Republican Ways and Means Committee members appeared to be in favor of reducing further the State’s expenses by extending the 10 per cent salary slash to include professors and officials of State universities and colleges, by paring the appropriation for State Highway Commission expenses and by eliminating a large number of the Statemaintained automobiles given officials for State business. Governor Townsend promised the Legislature in his message that new taxes would not be needed to balance the biennial budget if all pending bills calling for additional expenditures were killed, if the Legislature would transfer to the general fund the revenue raised by a 2-cent property tax levy which now goes to the building fund for State educational institutions, and if the State Teachers’ Retircsment Fund was placed on a “pay as you g0” basis. Welfare Costs Increase

As drafted the budget calls for an increase of $3,632,264 to operate State Government from July 1, 1939, to July 1, 1941. ' The increase is necessitated largely by an increase in welfare costs and the need for large maintenance appropriations for State institutions. Declaring that “there is a general agreement among the leaders of both political parties that bills appropriating additional expenses be

~ defeated,” the Governor said:

“It is my considered opinion after studying the financial statement submitted in connection with the budget that the revenues of State

prove rules and regulations made by commissions and boards. : The committee would meet every six months and following approyal, would compile, print and distribute the rules and regulations over. the State in the same manner as legislative acts. Bok Senator Phillips said State boards have usurped the power of the Legislature through the issuance of rules which have the. effect of law. The committee’s action every, six months would prevent boards from arbitrarily changing rules overnight, he said. The rules would be promulgated as- legislative acts under the measure. 3 ; The measure to ‘Increase memsbership of the State Health Board from four to 10 was introduced in the House by Rep. Daniel L. Bower (D. Indianapolis). ; It would provide for a hoard of six physicians, one druggist, one dentist, one civil engineer and one lay member. - Members would be named by the Governor from lists prepared by the various professional organizations. The - measure also provides for staggered terms for members. Pointing out that the duties of the State Health Board have been increased in recent years, State health authorities said the board should contain wider representation. The present State Health Board would continue in office, if the bill is passed, until June.

Introduces Drug Bill

The hill to place certain drugs such as baritol and its derivations, dynitraph, sulphanalmide, amidopyrine and others under the same status as narcotics also was introduced by Rep. Bower. Drafted by the Pharmaceutical Association, this measure was approved by the Indiana State Medical Association. The measure provides that druggists not only have to have prescriptions fof dispensing these drugs, but also that physicians keep a record of the amount of pre-

tablets dispensed. In explaining the need for this bill, Rep. Bower, who is a physician, said: “There have been 57 deaths either by suicide or over-dosage of barbiterials and their compounds in Indianapolis in the last five years. Dinitraphenal, which is a drug used by many people for reducing purposes in the past few years, now is found to be the cause of many cases of cataract and the loss of eyesight of people who thought they were being miraculously reduced. “Sulphanalmide now is Deing bought over the counter in many drug stores by people for various infections®uch as colds and strepticocei throat, These people are not told that if a simple househlod drug is taken along with this drug serious disturbances of the blood stream and even death may result. : “The drugs, amidopyrne and cinchophen often times cause a destruction of the white blood corpuscles in the body. This lowers the resistance of the patients’ and may cause serious disorders and diseases.” ’ Also to be reported out for passage by Senate committees are bills which would; Permit the removal of names of candidates who have died or have become ineligible for public office from ballots. Require county clerks to file lists of their respective vice precinct committeemen with county chairmen of each political party. Another Election Bill Due Another election bill which would lace the U.

Commissioner could make this appointment only on the petition of 51 per cent of the employers of the particular industry. The new proposal also would exempt any industry now affected by the Fed-

provisions of the State law. The original bill was introduced early in the session and has been pending before .the Labor Committee. A public hearing was held last week in which both labor and employer representatives packed the House of Representatives chamber. =. : : : The Senate measure to prohibit interference with the transportation of any commodity on streets or highways is a proposed extension of the 1933 act which applies only to the delivery of farm and dairy products. “This bill does not restrict or restrain organized labor in any right given it by the National Labor Relations Act or by any other Federal or State law,” Carl Wilde, attorney representing the Inter-Organization Council, said in defense of the bill. “It is not directed against organized labor, but only against the acts of irresponsible individuals who have cast discredit upon the cause of labor. It protects the man who is proceeding lawfully along the highways . . . . and every man, woman and child .in Indiana. who would be injured by an. interruption of the free flow of commerce.” Fred Schutz, Gary, speaking for the A. F. of L. Teamsters and Chauffeurs Union, said: “I wonder who"is sponsoring such a vicious measure as this. I would like to see some concrete evidence that we need such a law in Indiana.” “The 100,000 members of my organization to a man bitterly oppose this sort of legislation,” Adolph Fritz, State Federation of Labor secretary, said. “There are ample laws now covering every known crime that ‘this bill covers. Under this bill a man could be put in prison for 1 to 5 years for asking a man to join the union.”

Opposed by Union Aid

Thomas L. Hughes, general secre tary-treasurer of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs, informed the committee that he had visited every Legislature in the United States and “never - before have I seen such vicious legislation.” Kurt Pantzer; attorney accompanying Mr. Wilde, answered Mr. Hughes’ charges by:saying that the bill is not aimed at the “lawful solicitation to join a union and is not directed at destroying organized labor but it is aimed,” he shouted, “at coercing men. to join a ‘union and coercing employers into signing unfair labor contracts. “We will gladly: sit down at a table and bargain with labor if labor will give us respectable people to bargain with,” he added. Senator Jacob Weiss (D. Indianapolis) has a bill now pending in the Senate which would repeal the 1933 act and automatically make this bill invalid. = :

introduced will be a measure providing the segregation of mental patients from fellow inmates in the State's correctional and penal institutions. Senator Elliott Conroy (D. Hammond), its author, said the measure also would provide for the appointment of psychologists by Circuit Court judges. The bill is similar to an Ohio statute, Sen-

ator Conroy said.

Among the 15 Senate bills introduced yesterday was one which would place the administration of public assistance for aged, blind and dependent children in the hands of the county welfare boards and to be supervised by the State Board. At present the administration is done by the State Welfare Department.

Claims. Saving Possible

Senator Roger Phillips (D. New Albany), coauthor of the bill, said: “This bi ould save 20 per cent of the money now spent in these three public aids because it would eliminate duplication.” . Other, bills introduced in the Senate yesterday would: ‘Amend a law to make it a public offense for certain public officers to solicit employment as attorneys in connection with the settlement of any estate, trust or probaie matter. Fix salaries of county commissioners in counties of not less than 200,000 and not more than 400,000.

Passed, 90 to 1, was a House bill amending the absentee voter law to permit persons away on business or at school on election day to vote if they would have been qualified at home. Rep. Robert Hoover (R. Goshen) introduced a resolution asking that the chief clerk of the House notify the Governor of a resolution adopted on Feb. 3. This resolution requires the Governor to furnish a list of the names of persons on the State payroll along with their salary and the amount of floor space leased by departments with the rent paid. .

less

The House today killed by a voice vote the bill to enable hotels to order loiterers and undesirables from their premises. Several representatives charged it “abridged civil rights.” : : Rep. Irving Garnitz (D. South Bend) offered an amendment making the bill affect only persons entering a hotel for “unlawful purposes” and termed ‘the measure a “vicious bill.” “This bill is very dangerous and k Simed at minority groups,” he sald. The amendment was adopted, 76 to 16, before the measure was killed. . : Rep. Chester Allen (D. South Bend) called the bill a “circumvention of the civil rights statutes.”

NLRB FILES CHARGE "AGAINST LOCAL FIRM

The National Labor Relations Board has issued a complaint charging unfair labor practice against the McQuay-Norris Manufacturing Co. of Indianapolis, Robert H. Cowdrill, regional NLRB director, announced today. . A hearing on the complaint, based on charges filed with the Board by the United Automobile Workers of America, Local 226, C. I. O., has been set for 10 a. m. March 2, in the Federal Building. The complaint sets out that the company was “not bargaining in good. faith” when it allegedly refused to recognize the union as the exclusive bargaining agency for the plant’s production employees. The union contends it represents a majority of the employees. R. F..Crom, Indianapolis manager of the company, said the complaint was “not: justified.” : “We have offered a contract with the union similar to one in effect at our other plants,” he said. “We have had more than 1000 hours of bargaining with the union and are prepared to continiie to bargain.”
