FINAL WEEK OF
LEGISLATURE TO
BE ACTIVE time
Day And Night Sessions
Planned To Keep Ahead
OF Calendar.
By HOMER L. ROBERTS
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENIO, May II. UP
The state legislature entered the
final week of the present session
today with more than 1000 bills to
be disposed of before adjournment
Friday.
Day and night sessions were PLAN
ned by legislative leaders today. to
prevent the usual last minute jam.
The so-called "gag rule limiting
debate, was in effect in both SEN
ate and assembly.
Governor Rolph's reorganization
program, approximately $4,000. 900
in pork barrel" appropriation bills,
Oil conservation, substitution of
lethal gas for the gallows, the Sc
well trespass bill, and the proposal
to add life imprisonment without
parole" to murder penalties were
the outstanding measures to be set
tied before adjournment.
The administration whip will
crack right and left this week in
an effort to gain passage of the
governors pet bills. One of these
sets up a new state department of
motor vehicles with a non -salaried
director. The job is to be given to
the governors friend, Theodore
Roche, president of the San Fran
cisco Police Commission.
The governors reorganization
bills are designed to change the
term appointment system for the
10 state boards and commissions,
eliminate deathbed appointments,
and give governor control of such
boards two years after he is inaug-
urated.
Director of Finance ROLAND A.
Vandegrift will make a determined
fight to block passage of many of
the special appropriation bills. If
they all were passed, the states
surplus would be cut to less than
$15,000,000, which is below the dan
ger mark" Vandergrift says.
The oil conservation measures of
Will r. Sharkey, designed to pre-
vent future price wars by stabilizing
the industry, will probably cause
the bitterest fight in the legislature
this week. The measures, setting
up state Oil and gas commission.
and providing for proration of oil
drilling, have received favorable
action in the senate, but not until
after heated wrangle lasting near
ly two weeks.

HARLAN, KY, May II. up
Peace established by National

point today with several hundred
additional miners thrown out of

Another man also was in custody

crate a union Official police
chief, his assistant and a town

Although 1t was denied by Ma

sisted that a mine guard and n
union coal miner had killed each
other in gun fight at Shields.
Meanwhile, nearly all of the min

of a general protest strike In which
unions seek to have the mine guards
disarmed.

which has taken five lives here was
caused by the mine guards, while

CANAL 5
SUPPORT
ASSURED
Friendship For Project
Expressed By Members
Of subcommittee.
CONGRESS DOUBTFUL
Representative Murphy
Says Fate Of All Legis-
lati0n Unknown.

Declarations of friendship for the
All-American canal project and
definite indications that appropria-
tions for that purpose would be
made in proper time, were made by
visiting congressman Saturday
when the house Subcommittee on
appropriations viewed the irrigation
district diversion works and the ca
nal system in the valley.
Chairman Frank Murphy, veteran
Republican legislator from Ohio,
declared at the luncheon in Ell Gen.
tro that his committee is convinced
of the need for the All-American
Canal and that the Imperial and
Coachella Valleys may rest assured
that the requests for All-American
Canal appropriations will have very
friendly consideration SO far as the
appropriations committee is con-
cerned.
IT may as we'll say to you with
utmost frankness, however, that no
one knows what will be the fate of
legislation placed before the house
at its next session because for the
first time that body has no party
ma ajority,' Congressman Murphy
! declared
He explained that neither the Re-
publicans nor the Democrats will
have majority in the house and
| that as a consequence it is impossi-
BILE to predict what will be the out
come of any legislative proposals.
Congressman William Hastings of
Oklahoma, also veteran of many
legislative battles, and, according to
| Phil Swing, a house member who
| has the confidence of his own De-
mocratic party and of the house
| generally, declared Saturday that
he personally will favor the ALL
| American Canal appropriation
measures in committee and that he
is sure favorable action will be
taken as soon as the facts are pre-
sented to Congress"
Smith Gives Assurance
Although Congressman Addison
| +. Smith of Idaho, chairman of the
irrigation and reclamation COM
mittee, and one of the most active
| friends of the Boulder Dam, ALL
American Canal project through the
many years of hearings before his
committee, did not make a talk be-
| fore the guests at the luncheon, he
| declared in an interview Saturday
afternoon that he is confident that
congress will make the All-Ameri-
| can Canal appropriations in ample
time to permit construction Of the
canal so that it will be finished at
the same time the Boulder dam is
completed.
