"Save Mayors" Expected
on Second Reading.

day when the bill reaches second
reading in the House of Representa-

office.
The bill is chiefly designed to aid
Mayor Duvall and Mayor Herbert
Males, Evansville, to retain hold OF
the reins of their respective cities
until their terms expire, even if the
city manager plan is adopted mean
time by popular vote.
More than 900 kilograms Worded

the amendment were received by
Evansville and Vanderburgh County
representatives Thursday. A partial
list of the purported senders of these
kilograms were published in the
Evansville Press Friday and resulted
in protests from scores of Evansville
citizens who claimed that their
names had been forged to the mes
sages.

Evansville, received all the kilograms

printed, three Immediately protested.

ceived number urging support of
the amendment. They are being sent
to Evansville by The Times for a
check of the names to determine
if any forgery has been perperratcd

Representative Ella V. Gardner,
Indianapolis, will introduce a
resolution to indefinitely postpone
consideration of the amendment
when it appears before the House for
second reading. 1t is expected today.
Mrs. Gardner stated that if her
resolution failed to kill the bill
''other steps would be taken to dis
pose of the amendment before it
went to third reading"
The nature of these steps could
not be determined, but probably will
consist Of an amendment to eX-
