NO SPECIAL SESSION

The Carson Appeal yesterday in
terviewed Governor Oddie relative
to the prospect of a special session
of the Nevada legislature and the
Chief Executive issued the follow
ing statement:
You may quote me as saying
that at the present time there is
no occasion to call an extra ses-
sion Of the legislature and | have
no idea of calling one. The ques-
ton of electing a United States
Senator at the next general cleo
ton which is the only proposition
that would impel the calling of q
special session is now before the
United States Senate, and three bills
provide a means for the election
of a senator without bringing leg
islatiye machinery into play at the
present time. Should congressional
enactment fail, it will then be time
to talk about a special session."
