TND1ANAPOLIS, Jan. 18. (UT’i | The administration beer bill, containing the signatures of 33 repret sentatives, was introduced in the i lower house of the Indiana general j assembly today by Rep. John F. Ryan. Dem-, Terre Haute. INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 18. (UP) — i Administration bills dealing with beer an I banks were scheduled to be introduced in the Indiana general as - I sembly today. In me beer measure is a clause repealing the Wright "bone dry” act, thus eliminating a separate repealer
measure.
, Both measures were to he in*ro duced in the house of representative With their introduction, three of the major administration bills would have been started through the b i lature. The third is that reorganizing the
state highway commission.
The hank code was drawn from re commendations of the eommi -ion es tnblished two years ago by the legislature in an attempt to take regulation of Indiana bank- out of p'di
tics.
It would establish a non-parti in bank commission, non-sal 'l ie I, controlling the department and vvhii h would appoint a full-time dnectoi without regard to his politiis. In appointing the commi-sion, the governor may accept one nomination each from the Indiana Bankers’ Asociation and the Savings and Loan
League of Indiana.
Three department,- would be under ( the commission, one coiiti oiling bank I another building and loan a octution1 and the third pety loan an 1 i-luted financial companies. A -upervi ,,r would head each department Corrective provisions of the act to stop abusive receiverships ari'l liqui j dations, excessive borrowing by ! banks’ “inside cliques” and unethi d relations between hanks and their
