is no intervening legislature action before the 1951 General Assembly Acts become law:

ONE—Passage in Congress of the amendment introduced by Hoosier Sen. Jenmer or a law jwritten by Rep. Brownson, Indi{anapolis, which would revoke the {federal secrecy clause and thus {put the Indiana Genera! Assembly fact in harmony with national (law.

| TWO—Calling of a special ses{sion of the Indiana Legislature by Gov. Schricker to either revoke the controversial law or to {create a new state tax to foot the bill. This is what he indi{cated he would do when the Re{publican bloc passed the controversial bill over his veto.

If neither of these things happens before the 1951 General Assembly act becomes law, it means that the burden heretofore carried by the federal government will be thrown on ccunty taxpayers.

How It Might Work

This might happen in one of two ways: County welfare boards, which {are mandated by law to take care of the aged, dependent children and the blind, might call for additional appropriations to care for persons eligible for such aid, probably sums approximating the amount now contributed by the) federal government. If this was done, state tax ex-| perts say, county tax bodies would
