THE HOUSE DELAY in action on the state budget bill because of the Evansville hospital fire will not change materially the prospects for an early adjournment, according to Speaker Creighton. He says that the bill will be held up only for the remainder of
the week to give budget committee officials an opportunity to determine what emergency appropriations are needed and that action will be
taken on the budget measure early next week. Speaker Creighton says he feels “optimistic” about chances for adjournment a week or so before the March 8 deadline. He says there will be no reason for the individual legislators to be opposed because all of- their pet measures “will be handed down and either passed or killed.” Lieut. Gov, -Charles Dawson, presiding officer of the senate, is also following the same pass-or-kill-now procedure and he, too, feels that an adjournment around March 1 will be possible, 8 J 2
Some History Recalled
INTRODUCTION IN THE state senate of a bill to raise the salaries of the state highway commissioners from $5200 to $6000 recalls to the minds of many veteran legislators the reason the salaries are not now $6000. Gene Martin, present Allen county Democratic chairman and a former state representative, was embroiled in a fight with Governor McNutt in 1933 when an administration = sponsored bill “ito make the highway commission a full-time body and pay the commissioners $6000 annually was going through the legislature. He led an attack on the measure and at one time it lgpoked as if the salaries would be placed at $3600. But the $5200 figure finally was decided upon as 'a compromise. As one of the proponents of the present bill put it: “That fight back in 1933 has cost every member of the state highway commission $800 annually, and it’s time we rectified the situation.”
” ” » : Ready for Second Term REPUBLICAN STATE TREASURER James Givens will begin his second two-year term tomorTOW. i He will be sworn in at 10 a. m. by the G. O. P. State Chairman Ralph Gates in a simple ceremony in his office. Mr. Givens, who has only about six employees, says he contemplates no personnel changes. Wallace Weatherholt is the deputy state treasurer. ¢ ” 2 2
Too Much Enthusiasm STILL FIRED WITH an anti-salary-grab enthusiasm generated by a house debate a few minutes earlier, Rep. Jess Andrew (R. West Point) almost went off the ‘deep end -yesterday against. the Marion county G. O. P. bill to eliminate the job of a Democratic appointee, Just as Rep. Andrew began questioning the Marion county delegation about the bill, which gives the county assessor the duties of the present inheritance tax appraiser and raises his salary from $2880 to $5000 a Year,

Warns of Optimism
Members of the Pacific war council met Mr. Roosevelt after his return from Africa and came away with the impression that one of the major: Casablanca decisions was the scene of the European invasion. Byrnes opened ‘his address last night, devoted largely® to domestic problems, by saying that optimism about the present military situation
ticularly compared with what it was up to a few months ago.” In addition to the contemplated invasion of Europe, Byrnes listed these as among “our war plans for 19437; 1. A very substantial increase in war production over last year’s rec-ord-breaking goals. 2. Enlistment" of additional millions into the armed forces. 3. A constant flow of supplies in unprecedented volume and with consummate timing over carefully guarded supply lines to the Taille fronts.

4. Pcoling of American supplies with those of “the experienced and well-trained troops of Britain and our other allies.”
