No EXTRA SESSION

Gov Brough Does Not Think Extra
Session Advisable at this Time

Little Rock, May 11-Replying to
the letter Of Joseph NJ Hill Of Fort
Smith. dated May 5 and published in
a recent issue of local paper. in
which Judge Hill suggested that the
governor call an extra session Of the
legislature to deal with problems a
ris ng from the war; also suggesting
that the constitutional convention be
called Of, Governor Brough yester-
day said he could not comply with
either suggestion, and gave his rea-
soas.
Judge Hill wrote that the legisla=

son gaat taxes for war purposes are

hitting that some states have made
appropriations as war measure, the
governor points out that IN most Of
such states there are shipping inter
ests ana coast lines to protect, and
that Their legislatures doubtless had
those facts IN view.
