Senate Vote Is 25 Yes to 18 No, One Short of Consti-| tutional Majority for $250,000 Institution In Northern Indiana.
By one vote, the state senate toda plans for a $250,000 infantile paralysis he pital for northern|:
Indiana.
Senator Charles Phelps (R. Ft. Waynd), measure, pleaded with the senators to appropriate funds for '. the hospital “to make the March of Dimes a reality in Indi-
ana.”
The measure, up for final passage in the upper house,
received 25 ayes and 18 noes, with 26 affirmative votes necessary for a constitutional
majority for passage. The bill was opposed by both Sen“ator Floyd Garrott (R. Battle Ground) and Senator Walter Vermillion (D. Anderson), members of the state budget committee. They objected to it on the grounds that it would tie up the $250,000 the duration because of the inab to obtain materials at e and urged that it be postponed until after the war period.
Reconsideration Unlikely
Senator Phelps’ voice cracked with emotion as he charged the senators with responsibility if Indiana is unable ‘to meet “any future epidemic of infantile paralysis such ‘as occurred recently.” Most of the opposition senators ‘were from southern and central Indiana, although Senator Phelps contended their districts would benefit indirectly from the measure. Failure to pass the bill by con+stitutional majority does not mean that the measure is dead, but senate leaders said it was unlikely that it ever would ‘be able to muster enough votes for passage.
Work’ for Pensioners
Two resolutions were introduced in the sefiate by Senator John Gonas (D. th Bend). One would urge congyess to permit oldage assistance recipients to earn up to $25 a month on war jobs without endangering their assistance grants. Senator Gonas explained that this would help meet the man-. power shortage. i The second resolution would set up a fact-finding commission to investigate fees of county officials and report their findings to the next session of the legislature, Both resolutions were referred to|. the senate judiciary committee for “stu

FOOD PURCHASE BILL OFFERED
Eiriergéiy Act Permits: State to Buy on the Open Market.
A wartime emergency measure to permit the state purchasing agent, with the governor's approval, to buy food for state institutions on the open market was introduced in the state senate today. The bill was put into final shave at a meeting in the governor’s office yesterday which was attended bv House Speaker Hobart Creighton and Ross Teckemeyer, deputy state auditor, bot Republicans. Governor Schricker has reported several times recently that the laws requiring cginpetitive bidding have had to be violated because there were no bidders and food had to be obtained for the institution inmates. This bill would simply legalize what the state has jbeen doing since the food situation Hecame acute and would provide for its termination on April 1, 1945. The bill also would permit the state purchasing agent to enter into contracts with state institutions] such as Purdue university for food. Discussions already have been held by state officials concerning the sale of livestock from Purdue farms to the einghitutions.
PAY-AS-YOU-GO TAX
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 (U. P.).
+ APPROVE PAY RAISE FOR COURT CLERK
The house of representatives today passed unanimously a bill which would permit the salary of the Marion county criminal court clerk to be raised from $2000 to $3000 annually. ' The measure was introduced by two Marion county Republicans,
Lee, and was designed to bring the clerk’s pay+<o a par with that of the circuit court clerk. The bill now goes to the senate for further action. A bill was introduced in the senate to raise the salary of the Marjon county auditor from $6000 to $10,000 to make it correspond with the salaries of other county officials. It was introduced by Robert Lee Brokenburr (R. Indianapoli said that the salary of the a was inadvertantly omitted from the 1941 fees and salaries law. Observers said, however, that it probably could not be made effective under the term of the present auditor, Ralph Moore.

{—Advocates of the pay-as-you-go {plan for collecting income taxes may force a showdown at the first meeting of the house ways and means committee Thursday by attempting to combine it with the administration’s bill to raise the debt limit. That became a possibility today after committee Chairman Robert L. Doughton (D. N. C.). suggested that the pay-as-you-go hearings, originally scheduled for first con-
tional debt limit to $210,000,000,000. The idea of making the pay-as-you-go plan a rider on the debt bill was first proposed by a member of the committee who asked that his name not be used. It immediately drew the attention of Rep. Frank Carlson (R. Kas.), sponsor of legislation to place the Ruml pay-as-you-go plan in effect. ¢ “I've heard that mentioned,” Carlson said. “&t interests me quite a bit because it could be done.” Republican members of the ways and means committee feel that public interest in the pay-as-you-go plan is now at its height and are unwilling te delay consideration of it.
BILL INTRODUCED TO RENEW LEND-LEASE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 (U. P.). irman Sol Bloom (D. N. Y.) of the foreign affairs committee today introduged a bill to extend the lend-lease act one year beyond its present expiration date, June 30. Bloom issued a statement assert-
ing that “the ciples of lendlease were: d in 1941 and 1942 when we were fighting a defensive

THE LEGISLATURE bas passed its one-third mark and still there is no local option liquor: bill in the mill.
This situation. which is much
to the liking of a majority of the
legislators in both parties who don’t want to be put on the spot on the controversial issue, is due to the efforts of G. O. P. party leaders. These leaders don’t want anything to happen during the session
which would tend to give the party a “dry” label and hence they have applied™~the brakes,
, through party pressure, to all
members who likely would be willing to -introduge such a bill So far, this program has been successful. The “dry” legislators, most of whom are politically ambitious, seem to: have more respect for the wishes of the party leaders than- they do for those of the And too, they are agreeable because. they know that. if no local ; option bill is introduced they cannot be criticized by their constituents back home for not voting one way -or- another on it. Altogether, it’s a satisfactory
situation for everyone except the
“drys” who are still ‘working to
get a local option bill introduced.
But they are having plenty of trouble and with the time passing fast, their chances of getting such a bill through this session seem’ less and less likely. They have tried to find a prominent Republican: legislator to sponsor and pilot their measure through the legislature. But so far they have found none willing to say “yes.” And only nine days remain in which bills can ‘be introduced without approval of a majority of the members in the house of representatives, the legislative branch in which the “drys” think their bill has the best chance of passing. »
~ Judges Want Pay Mos
REP. J. OTTO LEE’S bill to give the four local municipal court judges a $2500 annual salary increase, from $5000 to $7500, was introduced, he says, at the request of the four judges. It is the view of these judges that they deserve somewhat near the salary, $10,000, as is received by the five county superior court judges. Among those persons familiar with the work of the courts there seems to be general agréement that the salaries of the two police judges, John Niblack and John McNelis, should be increased but there seems. to be some doubt that the work required of the two civil court judges, Louis Weiland
‘end Harry Champ, is such as to
merit an increase. 57 2 =
Fair Squabble Up Again
THE MUCH-FOUGHT issue of control of the state fair and the state fairgrounds is up again during this session of the legislature. Rep. Paul Moffett (R. Indianapolis), president of the state fair board, has introduced a bill which would give the fair board control of the state fairgrounds. : ‘The fairgrounds are now under the control of Lieut. Gov. Charles
Dawson, who was designated by Governor Schricker as his agent to handle the fairgrounds property. This system of control of the fairgrounds property by the lieutenant governor has been in effect since the McNutt administration and has in effect given control of . the state fair to the lieutenant governor rather than to the state fair board which has no power over the buildings whatsoever. - Sponsors of the Moffett bill claim that it will take the state fair entirely out of politics and “opponents claim that it will hand a multi-million dollar piece of state property. to a “closed cor« poration that can’t be touched.” Under the present state fair board setup, which would not be changed by the Moffett bill, the governor would continue to appoint the 16-member board on nominations made by ‘various breeders’ associations. Thus, the governor himself actually has 'mo control over the board, merely going through the formality of appointing the men ncminated by . the associations, And if the board is given: control of the fairgrounds, it will have complete control of everything to do with the state fair. The present fair board has been at odds with Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson and Rep. Moffett sought to keep any of this friction from affecting his bill by providing that the measure should not become effective until Oct. 1, 1944, .near the end -of Mr. Dawson's
term. {
