The governor and the veto guillotine
which had decapitated 13 bills at the
end of business today and with the
assurance that one more major act of
legislation was to go on the "block"
before noon tomorrow, held the center
of informal caucuses of majority and

representatives put it, there's plenty
to do tomorrow" The question of the
majority strength is considered the de-
termining factor as to when this

While the governor has said that he
was mot satisfied with some portions
of the appropriation bill, there was
little belief held by leaders of either
side that he would veto the measure
or any item of it, The risk, they
pointed out, would be too great. OBJ

governor might mean the total loss of
that appropriation as provided for the

facts of the first action taken by
the officials of the Commerce Realty

have the case dismissed on the same
grounds as his last weeks plea was

he is only being tried on one. The
motion was denied.
A motion was then made by the

Marshal Chang Tso-Lin, war lord
of the northern Chinese armies, who
has ignored the two previous soviet

Russian agreement. but has ignored
international obligations by abetting
the nationalist movement at Han

The next move was also a cap

the day came late this afternoon

Guiding the appropriation and hign

the game bill, Governor Hunt wrote
the speaker of the house:
"This bin falls under the sans
cloud that has blighted so mucn

goes to extremes beyond the safety

Especial objection was raised by
the governor to the provision in the
bill which exempts game wardens
and deputies, including all peace or

of the right to search and seize.''
Referring to this clause, the veto
message reads section Al of the
