Admit Error on Utilities Bill
Arbitration Measure Permitted to Die In Tactical Mixup
Top Indiana’ Démocratic leaders agreed today that § “tactical blunder” was responsible for their failure to pass Gov. Schricker's
“voluntary” utilities - -arbitration|’

Yesterday, Senate Republicans defeated five administration attempts to revive a voluntary form of utilities arbitration. The proposal was postponed indefinitely, a move which automatically kills thé measure./ Debate Heated 2 Defeat of theproposal followed - a heated debate. Sen. Harold Handley (R. LaPorte) one of six! rebel Republicans who originally) ‘favored outright repeal of pulsory arbitration refused oo along with the Democrats ves. terday. In a scorching attack on the Democrats, Sen. Handley charged| they were practing “hypocrisy.” | He said he couldn't go-along with the administration “bungling” attempts to appease labor. “You stabbed labor in. the back,” he roared as the hour-long battle ended.
