ers, the issue had occupied more of the committee's time than any other so far. Spokesmen, near /the administration, made no effort to guess the solution on teachers pay but held fast to the belief it would require no new or increased taxes. The Republican majority in the house of representatives was scheduled to caucus sometime today or tomorrow on controversial labor bills. Study 3 Bills Principal measures on which the majority will determine a course of action were bills to outlaw strikes in public utilities and curb possible interference with highway traffic In labor disputes. ; The senate held a similar caucus last week and compromised on the question of women working in industry at night. Majority senators agreed to extend the present midnight deadline to 1 a. m. and forget another measure which would have permitted “round-the-clock” work. The 1 a. m. bill was on the calendsr for passage today. It also was understood the senate would “go along” on a measure, to forbid pickets from blocking en-| trance to struck plants.

One measure providing precinct-by-precinct local option was scheduled to reach the floor of the house today. Rep. Robert Hoover (R. Goshen), author of a measure putting the local option question up to a referendum promised action to force his bill out of committee also. The administration bill appeared to be going to remain in commit tee for a few more days. Showdown Expected Hottest little political question of the week was over the fight between first and second district Republieans over Wolf lake. Two bills are involved—one to use an existing half million dollar fund to go ahead with plans to make Wolf lake in Lake county a state park. The second bill would divert the fund to development of the Kankakee river valley as a state game preserve. This measure has the support of second district Republicans who have promised a showdown fight before the week's end.
State Personnel Law Changes Discussed
Bills in the legislature to change provisions for the selection of state employees will be discussed at a luncheon meeting of the Indiana Merit System association at the Warren hotel tomorrow. Two bills opposed by the League of Women Voters of Indiana will be discussed. One of these is'8. B. 178 which would make a number of changes in the Indiana state personnel law, including one that would give the governor the power to appoint the state personnel director. i The league points out that a bill with similar provisions presented in the 1945 legislature was vetoed.

Biologist Plans To Restore Life |

He will be assisted by Dr. George Sciaroni, Fresno, Cal., surgeon, in the delicate work of injecting lifegiving chemicals into the arteries of his subjects. In 1934, Cornish startled the scientific world when he succeeded in injecting life into the dead body of a dog, Lazarus II. Six minutes after the dog was pronounced dead from asphyxiation, Dr. Cornish began feeding an adrenalin mixture into its femoral artery. The dog's heart began beating again. A few hours later, the dog barked. : - Lazarus died again for the second time a little more than eight hours later. But the important fact was established—that a dead organism could be resurrected. In succeeding months, Dr. Cornish brought life to several other dogs with varying success.. One lived a year and a half. In 1937, a storm of anti-vivisection protest caused his removal from University of California laboratories.
