Elections Committee Split Revealed

. Senator Walter Vermillion (D. Anderson) indicated today the

over a direct primary, The veteran minority leader rose In the senate to correct a “report” that Governor Gates’ convention reform bill had received unanimous approval of the senate elections committee, “The Democrats have the right to select their own battleground for such a controversial issue,” he asserted, explaining minority Suiits to submit a report opposing the elections committee action. “I am pointing out that the committee report approving the convention bill was not unanimous. We have just begun to fight.” In the lower house a measure to ask the U, 8. congress to end sugar rationing was adopted. Rep. Samuel L.' Riely (R. Wyandotte), author of the sugar resolution, declared that supply in the United States has increased to such a point that some refineries are now closed. Asked by minority floor leader Robert Heller (D. Decatur), to name the closed refineries, Mr. Riely requested “time to get this information.” Bills Backlog

The resolution would ask the leaders of both houses of the national congress to vote an end to OTC rationing of sugar. House committees today prepared to tackle the flood of bills introduced since the opening of the 85th general assembly. With 93 bills already introduced, committees so far have acted on only six. Eight committee meetings were called for today and three more already are scheduled for tomorrow.

Schedule Primary Hearing The chairman of the house elections committee said he probably will hold preliminary hearings on the controversial direct primary bill before the end of the week. Rep. Charles Miser (R. DeKalb) indicated he would not necessarily wait for party caucus action before taking the step. Legislators expressed opinions that the bill will be reported out of committee promptly for debate on the house floor—expected to be one of the hottest debates in the 85th general assembly,

Doubt Senate Passage Farly indications showed the bill might pass the house, but little hope was expressed that it would get through the senate. This trend of thinking was bolstered yesterday when the senate elections committee approved “as is” the administration measure to reform the convention system. Three bills introduced yesterday would increase the drain on the treasury to the tune of more than $250,000 a year, while a fourth would instigate a one cent per $100 property tax levy for the creation of a state forestry fund. Fund for Survey Map The latter, an administration bill, was Introduced by Rep. George Henley (R. Bloomington). The fund would be used for forestry conservation. Another administration bill would

pare a topographical survey map. Balance in the fund at the end of each year would remain there until the map is complete. The second appropriation measure triples the amount ($25,000) now available to the conservation de-

partment for conduct of its survey :

of water resources, The third bill introduced in the house dealing with veterans’ fi-

$3000 ‘on real property and $500 on personal property for taxes. As was to be expected, the first business in the state senate when it convened yesterday was to pass the legislators’ pay bill,

‘Among a flood of bills inroduced s

in the senate yesterday was a measure which would permit owners or tenants of farm lands to kill wild deer on their property. Introduced by Senators R. G. Miller (R. Bloomington) and W. C. Bates (R. New Albany), the bill is expected to create some controversy among conservationists. A measure introduced by Senator C. F. Fleming (D.

Welfare Board Saves $580,349

5162 Given Old-Age Assistance in 1946

* 40 The Marion county welfare board today announced that $580,349 remains unexpended of the 1946 appropriation of $3,021,995. ‘ As interpreted by local officials, this means that $580,340 of the taxpayers’ money was saved through careful management and investigation. The department in 1946 gave old-age hssistance to 5162 persons, aided 510 families, 1413 dependent children and 2007 additional children with funds suppied by a tax levy of .15 pet $100. Comparative figures indicate the department gave old-age assistance to 256 more persons during the year just ended than in 1045; aided 212 more depended children, 60 more families and 357 less children in the same period of other classifications.

Soft Drink Tax Bill Called ‘Blackjack’

An anonymous bill that would place a license fee on the manufacturer for sale of all soft drinks in Indiana was mailed to every member of the senate today. The measure would impose .a half-cent per half-pint, or fraction thereof, tax on any beverage bottled for sale. Several senators speculated that such a bill would never pass the general assembly. They referred to it as a blackjack measure. One senator expressed the opinion that large bottling companies would spare no efforts or money to suppress the measure.

Council representatives passed the motion to support the senate bill at a noon luncheon yesterday in the Y. W. C. A.

Dr. Crain's statement reads:

have formed the provisional Indiana Council for Unity have done so

‘because they believe the time has

come to present a united front, regardless of political affiliation, against all forms of intolerance, bitterness, and hatred based on differences of race, color, creed or point of national origin.

“We strongly support the administration’s “Anti-Hate” bill introduced last Friday by Senators Van Ness and Brokenburr. This is only the first of a series of steps which need to be taken to protect Indiana from Talmadgism and Bilboism.

“Governor Gates and the attorneys general are to be congratulated on this pioneering move which puts Indiana in the vanguard of states which have had the courage to meet face-to-face the forces which contribute to disunity.”
