To win control of the county - organization, the Tyndall group must - break the hold the Joe Daniels-Jim ‘Bradford combination has over the ward chairmen and the precinct committeemen. And undoubtedly this is what they are trying to do by making all appointments to city jobs themselves instead of going through regular organization channels. It Jooks as if this will be a pretty tough job. For Mr. Bradford, who holds the county auto license plum through the Gates state organization, is still very ‘popular with the party wheelhorses, This was shown by the way they made the Tyndall supporters accede last fall to their demands that Mr. Bradford be ‘named county auditor to succeed the late Glenn Ralston. . : Mr. Daniels, the: 11th district chaitman,. has been one of the main cogs in the Gates organization and there apparently is no place: in the state organizytion’s plans for ’44 for any of the aspirants in the Tyndall administra. tion.

by the Republican steering committee to State Auditor Richard T. James’ bill to take over the store license division from the state tax The steering committee had hedged previously on this bill but it approved the measure late yesterday after Mr, James told the committee the consolidation of the license division with his office would save money for the state. He said that he could trim the present force of 23 persons in the license division in half, using gasoline oil inspectors in his department as field men for the store license division. Mr. James’ office already is doing the accounting work for the store license divisson. - The policy committee also tentatively approved the measure sponsored by Mrs. Marjorie Gundersen, reporter of the supreme and appellate courts, to appropriate $86,000 for the publication of reports of the two high courts. Back Compromise Republican legislators in the house decided at a caucus last night to hold up two bills pertaining to teachers’ salaries until they have had time to study the state budget bill. One of these bills provides for in-

that the state shall pay the average minimum salary. The legislators were told by Ross Teckemeyer, deputy state ‘auditor, that payment of minimum salaries by the state under the present schedule would cost the state about

payment by the state of the proposed increase in the minimum salary would cost around $5,897,000. The legislators agreed to support any Sompromise legislation agreed
