Rapid Fire Fashion OH
Friday.


PHOENIX, Nov. 4 tR-Splitting of
factional lines in both houses, rapid
fire passage of a score of bills, and
severe verbal spanking of the state
board of medical examiners, marked
proceedings of the fourth special SEES
sion, which, if senate resolution is
adhered to, will end in sine die adj
journment at noon tomorrow Ma jority
floor leaders tonight declared adjourn
ment was a certainty.
Severe as were the criticisms directed
at the board of medical examiners,
both on the floor of the senate and in
q, report of the select committee"
their tone was considerably lessened
by the unanimous passage in the SEN I
ate under suspension of rules of an
additional $4,000 appropriation for the
board. The measure providing the adj
ditional funds was recommended in
the report of the select committee"
and the same report which arraigned
the board and its secretary, DR.. w. o.
Sweek, of Phoenix.
After it appeared that the matter
had been dropped as far as the fuorth
special session was concerned, the
resolution Of Senator Tom Donnelly,
Pima, was called up for third reading
The Pima'S senator's resolution calls
upon Governor Hunt to demand the
immediate, resignation of the mem
Der or members of the board respon-
sible for its failure to carry out Its
duties as prescribed.
Aligned with Nelson in voting
against the reso.ation were Senators
Akers and jones' Maricopa Golfer,
Apache and Joyner, Pima. Senators
Waters, Mohave, and Bettwy, Santa
Cruz, were absent, leaving Senators
Donnelly, Pima; Hill, Greenlee; Fav-
our and Thornburg, Yavapai. Runke,
Coconino; Kinney, ella; Suffer and
Wylie, Cochise; Kimball, Graham;
Wills, Pinal and President Winsor,
Yuma, to support the resolution.
During the afternoon session the
senate adopted resolution and APP
pointed a committee to inform the
house of representatives that "the
senate stood ready to adjourn sine die,
at noon Saturday" At the close OF
business today both houses recessed
until 10 a. m. tomorrow.
Opposition to sine die adjournment
was openly expressed by some mem
bers of the lower house, but the mo-
ton is expected to carry unless min
GRITTY members are able to stop final
action on some item of legislation now
listed for final action.
The oil and gas lands lease bills
have apparently run up against
stone wall in the senate and the house
must concur in a senate amendment
to a measure facilitating contract
between the Verde power and irriga-
ton district and the Salt River Val
ley Water Users association for the
purpose of developing some 10000
acres of arabic lands.
Differences within the ranks" were
apparent on several issues today. Sen
ators Kimball and Wills, formerly
strong administration members voted
with the majority. Senators Kinney,
ella, Jones and Akers, Marieopa and
Nelson split their vote in the case of
/ the building and loan bill, which twice
! failed of passage in the senate during
the afternoon.
