INDIANAPOLIS, Ind Feb. 5 (INSl Chambers of the General Assembly were almost empty today as the legislators spent perhaps their last week-end at home during the present session. Saturdaj sessions probably will prevail until adjournment. Lieut. Gov. John A Watkins announced yesterday that the Senate would meet next Saturday and the House of Representatives is expected to follow suit. The possibility of iiighi sessions in about 10 days also looms because of the huge number of bills facing the lawmakers. For '‘xample. the House received 47 bills and one resolution and the Senate 27 bills yesterday. Monday is the last day on which bill introduction vvill be permitted and the total for the day probably will be 100 in the. House anad about 50 in the Sen-

ate,

The legislators probably talked to their constituents today about two gambling legalization measures presented yesterday. One would authorize slot machines and the other pari-mutuel horse and dog race betting. The state would obtain a percentage of these gambling revenues, to be applied to partial payment of the soldier bonus. All indications are that th 1 lawmakers will shun these proposals and utilize more orthodox methods of financing the bonus The money that would accrue from the gaming projects would be only a drop in the bucket in the bonus financing needs A hot potato bill forbidding lobbying by a lawmaker is now before the House. The measure require* the legislators to record tlwtrehusin name anl address of employer and the name of any firm, person or corporation “represented in any mallet which might come before the General Assembly ” Two ether controversial bills appeared just before the weekend reciss.
