FRIDAY DEC 1510 Senate Vote Probers Hint
At Evidence of 'Plot" Here
U. 8. senate investigators will present evidence seeking to show that . the Marion county vote registration tangle may have been a deliberate conspiracy among certain - election officials, it was learned today. While investigators here have stressed their role as “fact-finders only,” it has been indicated that Justice department authorities will use the public hearing next week as a “weathervane” to determine whether grand jury action is warranted. State and county : Republicans continued to brand the probe as a “smear.” It is intended only for the purpose of casting dark reflections on the overwhelming G. O. P. victory here, they charge.

PERMIT SETUP
Policy Group Wonders How To Fortify Liquor Law, Crack Foes’ Monopoly.
How can you fortify liquor law enforcement while cracking the, Democratic monopoly on state beer wholesaler permit? That was one of the knotty problems facing the G. O. P. legislative policy committee today. | Last night . the committee discussed the alcoholic beverages pleture in general. No detailed amend- | ments to the 1941 liquor control act ‘have yet been recommended for the 1945 general assembly, | But Republicans aren't exactly | satisfied over the present enforce- | ment set-up.
" Moral Provisions
Whether the present liquor code | possesses strong enough moral provisions was one of the subjects under speculation. The widespread | presence of women and minors in bars was considered particularly. | There likewise is a feeling among politicos that the current bi-par-tisan enforcement policy tends to divide and weaken responsibility. Under the 1941 liquor law act, enforcement officers are appointed by the bi-partisan alcoholic. beverages commission on a bi-partisan basis. . Se ———— min 4 Government reorganization experts argue that liquor code enforcement should be centralized as an undivided administration responsibility, Perhaps even more disturbing than the moral aspect is the fact that Democrats have been ‘hogging” the wholesale beer distribution business. Their grip harks back to the days of the McNutt regime when wholesalers’ permits were doled out like so much patronage. Republicans placed the aleoholic beverages commission on a “nonpolitical” basis in 1941, but neglected to provide a legal way to scissor up the Democratic permit monopoly.
