LEAGUE LOOKS

The Legislature

For the first time in recent years, the General Assembly was able to adjourn on schedule after 61 days without stopping the clock. Pressure was heavy late last week for fast movement on important bills, as final versions of t h e bills had to be printed and signed by presiding officers befor the midnight Monday deadline for close of the session. Then follows action by the Governor. The Governor may sign or veto a bill or may, by failing to take action on it within three days (not counting Sun-

days), allow a bill to become law without his signature. He may ask the Attorney General for an opinion on the constitutionality of a bill before taking action on it. Bills may not be presented to the Governor for action the last tw r o days (including Sundays) immediately precxiing adjournment of the General Assembly. The Governor may “pocket veto" a bill after the close of the session by failing to take any action on it within five days. A bill may be passed over the Governor’s veto by a constitutional majority of each

Want something a little different this year? There are generally a multitude of new offerings for the garden each year, bat this year the cupboard is rather bare. Except for the All-America Selection. Appleblossom Petunia, and the other winners, we find that in Petnniaa there are three worthy of note. Moon Glow—a rich creamy yellow. This is a new color in the Petunia world, and has been very difficult to prodnee. It is dwarf and compact of habit, and blooms heavily all summer. For a different color in your annual garden, try this one. Yon will like It combined with the blue of Sky Magic Petunia or Blue Mink Ageratmn. Another one to try is the improved version of Bingo. Now an Fa Hybrid, this Petunia produces the largest flowers of all. Crimson red and white bicolor with hybrid vigor. As you know, an Fa Hybrid means uniformity of color, flower size and habit. There Is a new dancing multiflora Petunia (multiflore meant many flowered, but small flowers, 2 to 2v£ inches), aptly named Meteor. A scarlet red and white bicolor that maintains its sbaxpty defined colors all summer long. Very colorful, very weather tolerant A group planting or sidewalk border of Meteor will lead excitement to your entry way. There are two more, but since the seed supply is so short yon will not have much luck in finding them. We will only mention them in passing just in case you do run across a few plants. They are Peppermint and Strawberry Tart Peppermint is a member of that new family of multiflora doubles that look so much like carnations. Ideal for cutting. 2 to 2y( inch blooms borne on sturdy, abort jointed stems. Peppermint looks just like the candy that grandmother used to have in the jar. Rose pink veins on pale plbk flowers. The other is a Strawberry red and white double much like its predecessor. Cherry Tart, except foe color which is really a scarlet red. If yon find either of them, give than a try. You'D not only have something different—but lovely, too. Don't think Pehmias are only for borders and beds. The improvemeats in these Ft Hybrids make them ideal for cot flowers, toou The hybridizers have bred in habit—more uniform plants with shorter, stiffer stems so that they stay put in arrangements. With their gently curving stems they provide an ideal foil for erect; straightstemmed flowers such as Snapdragons, Salvia and Delphiniums. A new booklet has been published this year for the home gardener. "Accent on Annuals,” is a complete guide to the use of annuals in home landscaping. You will find it especially valuable if you are starting from scratch in a new home. Available from bedding pfant growers and garden centers. Written by the well-known garden writer, F. F. Rockwell, and William R. Nelson, Jr., Untv. of Ifi. cooperative Extension Service, and published by Geo. J. Ball, Inc.

house of the General Assembly. Bills vetoed by the Governor after the close of the session are presented to the next session of the General Assembly, which may uphold or override the veto. Conference Committees, composed of two legislators from each house, were appointed in several instances last week to reconcile differences between House and Senate versions of a number of bills. These commutes can and do put new materials into a bill. However usefulness as a means of substituting what otherwise would be unsuccessful legislation lies in the fact that conference reports may be passed by a simple majority, whereas a bill must get a constitutional majority, 51 votes in th eHouse and 26 in the Senate. This kind of legal maneuvering is often used near the end of a session to reduce bills which are still in committee or are otherwise slowed down on the road to passage. This session is full of such instances: S. B. 118, which started out abolishing capital punishment, Army from paying property tax. S. B. 72, which concerned metropolitan government, now increases a city’s demolition fund celling from |10,000 to 1100,000. The classic example last week was H. B. 1063, which originally provided for door-to-

door voter registration la all counties, now contains in addia number of other bills which had not progressed so far and two sections on absentee voting and poll watchers of political parties. An unsuccessful attempt was made to have the conference committee considering an insurance license bill to rewrite it and produce a bill giving the mayor of Hammond authority to appoint the city’s school board. Saturday, Senated Eugene Bainbridge of Munster proposed that the Senate and House adopt a rule to prevent conference committees from making any change in a bill which would require a change in the title of the bill. Other senators supported this proposal and further suggested that copies of conference committee reports be given to every senator. The Democratic leadership in the Senate ordered conference members to do no f jmplete rewriting of bills unless the leadership agreed and was informed on what the committee was doing. It will be several days before a final report on action of can be made. However the following results seem fairly certain at this writing: (1) Indiana’s tax structure will remain wirtually the same. However state and local poll taxes, the personal property

In the newborn child, a Dr. Coleman brain defect or injury may produce convulsions. Young infanta and children have been known to have convulsive seizures associated simply with very high fever.

The electroencephalogram, known a* the EEG, is of vital importance to the study of the brain. The technique is similar to the one used to study the heart. The interpretation of an EEG, X-rays of the skull, and examination of the blood chemistry all contribute to the diagnosis. Q: Can convulsions be cured? A: Convulsions in themselves are not an illness. They are a symptom of some underlying condition. Therefore, convulsions cannot be cured, although they can ha controlled.

British Guiana Economy Helped By Burnham

By United Prait International For three years the United States withheld economic aid from British Guiana out of a conviction that Cherri Jagan, its East Indian-descended premier, intended to establish it as the first Marxist nation on the mainland of South America. Geographically, British Guiana is hardly more than a dent on the northern South American coast, but it borders both Brazil and Venezuela, which are important targets of Communist infiltration, and it has easy access to Cairo’s Communist Cuba. Jagan, who makes no bones about his Marxist leanings, also is an admirer of Castro and received important help from the Cuban leader in his running battles with the colony’s Negro population and the British. Jagan is the leader of British Guiono's East Indian group which makes up about 42 per cent of its population. In three years of rule, Jagan not only had wrecked the colony's economy but also had succeeded in setting East Indians and Negros at each others’ throats. Negroes make up 38 per cent of the population. The remainder is a mixture. Last December, in general elections held under new rules of proportional representation imposed by the British colonial office, Jagan lost his job. Into office went Negro leader

has included all elements of British Gpiana's population, and a state objective is to gain the faith of the East Indians.

Unfortunately, the elements remain.

divisive

Forbes Burnham, regarded as a moderate, in coalition with a! smaller party led by Peter, D’Aguiar, a Portuguese businessman. Burnham, like Jagan, demands early independence and like Jagan, he is unlikely to get j it. But he tackles his job with the best wishes of the United States and Britain. The United States is reported about ready to extend $5 million in economic aid and the British government has pledged $7 million in development funds. Much of the money is expected to go into public works with the immediate objective to relieve unemployment. Public buildings will be restored and roads built. Private investors 1 also are showing renewed faith. They have purchased more than $3 million in government bonds and the Reynolds Metals Co. is reported considering expansion of its bauxite operations. In his government, Burnham

Jagans party still controls 24 of the colony's legislative seats but continues to Boycott the legislature. A visit by British Colonial Secretary Anthony Greenwood made no progress toward healing the rift. During his visit more thar 100 acres of sugar cane and more than 100 telegraph pole.* were destroyed as a sign oi protest. And there are threats that the violence which in pre. election months took more thar 170 lives may be renewed. Economically, British Guiana depends upon sugar, rice, bauxite and hardwoods. Even with peaceace restored there is little hope that it could become selfsupporting. And with Jagan’s East Inans now restored there is little hope that it could become selfsupporting. And with Jagan’s East Indidians now resorting to a demand for partition both peace and a viable economy seen fai a way.
