Branigtn Chats With Reporters INDIANAPOLIS UPI — Governor Branigin said Tuesday he probably will sign into law a bill abolishing capital punishi ment in Indiana if the legislaj ture passes it. Branigin also said ne has no ; objection to compulsory bus | transportation of private and I parochial pupils if the public wants to bear the expense. ; Those topics were two of many which newsmen tossed at the chief executive in a 30minute news conference in an effort to determine his position on legislative issues. “I have felt from the time I was a prosecutor and my own personal conscience that I didn’t like to see the death penalty imposed,” Branigin said. “I did demand the death pen-

alty Mveral timai whan I was prosecutor, but I had no choice. I think I oppose it because it has not acted as a deterrent as people expected it.” Asked if he would sign an abolition bill, Branigin replied, , “I don’t know. I have the feel-

ing I would.”

i Branigin said he had received, many letters on a bill for transportation of parochial school pupils at public expense. ‘‘Most of them are in favor of the enactment of a compulsory transportation system,” he said.! ‘‘You know they call this the ‘fair bus bill’. The question is ; whether the people want to assume the burden. It will be . quite expensive.” On the other issues, Branigin made these comments: Cigarette tax increase — “It was not my idea for cities and towns, but it does afford some real opportunity for elbow room. I’m inclined to think I

will not oppose it*’' Increase of state aid to schools — “It’s still in the discussion stage.” Non - partisan selection of judges — “I would sign a bill on this. If it cannot be accomplished this season, I favor a study committee.” Constitutional convention referendum — “I felt the constitution with which we have lived since 1851 served us well and I would prefer to correct its defects by amendment." Legislative reapportionment “I don’t know the answer. I recognize the problem.” Raising minimum driving age — “No comment."

Open Occupancy

Bill Assailed

INDIANAPOLIS UPI — The Indiana Conference on Civil

Rights Legislation says an “open occupancy” bill passed by the State Senate is “meaningless” and “morally bankrupt" and urged House members to kill it. Conference vice-chairman Andrew Ramsey said the group will hold a demonstration Friday to “remind the members of the House of Representatives that there are those who know and care when the cause of civil rights is made victim of that kind of legislative mockery 1 employed by the Indiana Senate in cutting the very heart out of the so-called ‘open occupancy* bill.” ■ The Conference said it would j accept “nothing less than the bill originally prepared by the bi-partisan Indiana Civil Rights Commission” which, they said “made a meaningful start in the direction of opening the entire housing market to persons regardless of their

race.” Conference spokesmen said the Senate approved version of the bill is a restatement of the 1961 law- relating to public housing and fails to add anything new to Indiana law.

Committee OK's Relief Program WASHINGTON UPI —House committee approval of President Johnson’s $1.1 Appalachia development program was expected today, moving the Great Society measure a step closer to the floor. Rep. Robert E. Jones Jr., DAla., head of a special subcommittee which readied the measure for consideration by the Public works committee, said he was “quite sure” of approval today. A House vote, with passage

| virtually assured, la tppwted by the end of the mMth. The program already has been i passed by the Senate. Jones said that committee Democrats had paved the way for approval Tuesday by reject1 ing a series of changes proposed by Republicans during a ! closed session. Part of Johnson’s overall campaign against poverty, the bill would provide development programs for sections at 11 states. It would concentrate on highway development and conservation, education and health projects to counter the economic blight plaguing the region.
