House Bill 18 would divide most of the governor’s patronage powei among four departments, each made up of the governor and two other elected officials. In yesterday’s long sessions in both chambers of the assembly. Democrats applied the brakes to majority moves by extended debate and the introduction of numerous amendments, most of which were tabled or voted down. If these measures prove insufficient the minority controls enough votes in either chamber to break the quorum hy walking out, leaders pointed

out.

Members of both parties caucused last night to map out new moves in the growing struggle. Another measure vita! to the rounding out of the majority program appeared stuck in the Hou*e Judiciary “A” committee. After a public hearing Monday or. the "Institutions” bill which seeks to remove from the hands of Governor Schrtcker sole appointive power over the trustees of 19 state Institutions, majority committee members said they had not yet decided to bring the bill onto the House floor. As the measure now stands appointive power wduld be in the hands of four-man bi-partisan committees. Chairman George W. Henley, R„ Bloomington, indicated the committee would recommend an amendment to conform the measure with a general merit plan being drafted by party leaders. Representatives of the Indiana Merit Plan Association said they also had a merit bill ready for introduction in the assembly. Protests of minority leaders against Monday's legislative action centered about the possibility that separate repealers on the 1933 reorganization and the law making the office of attorney general appointive might leave the state government in chaos should the companion measures be declared unconstitutional. In the Senate is the 1933 reorganization act repealer, passed Monday by the House to pave the way for the "big ripper” bill which is the keystone of the program. Should the oig measure eventually be declared unconstitutional, Democrats say, the previous setup still would have beer. - pealed, leaving the powers of the governor questionable. On third reading in the upper rouse is a pair of bills presenting a similar situation regarding the at torney general. One bill outlines the new program and the other merely repeals the law under which the pres ent setup operates. Anmng the secondary measures scheduler) for introduction in the House today waa a bill designed to keep racketeers out of trade unions. The proposed law, sponsored by Rep. Walter F. Danielson, R„ Michigan City, would require three years experience in a trade or craft to qualify for office in the union representing that trade or craft. Unions would be compelled to file an annual financial statement with the secretary of state to offer a check on how the organization’s funds are dispensed.
