CONGRESS TO
RUSH THROUGH
SUPPLY BILLS
Weary Legislators Hope to
Adjourn by End of
Next Week.
PASS RELIEF MEASURE
Farm Appropriations Given
Approval; Senator Reed
Sounds Warning.
BR United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Con-
greSs is whipping up its pace in an
effort to adjourn by the end of
next week.
The senate, where the legislative
jam has been most severe, went to
work today on the remaining ap-
preparation bills which must be
passed before adjournment. It
gave it's final approval to the agri-
culture department appropriation
bill without debate Friday and then
quickly passed the $500, 100000
emergency unemployment relief bill.
The emergency relief measure
may meet some opposition in the
house, but early enactment is ex-
pected. The bill passed the senate
by 70 to 8.
1t increases the borrowing power
of the reconstruction Finance
Corporation by $3OO,OOO,OOO, to pro-
vide for immediate loans of that
amount to the states for relief
work.
Approved by Hoover
The loans will be apportioned on
the basis of population and will be
granted upon application of the
Governors. They will bear per
cent interest and can be repaid
either directly or through deductions
from federal-aid highway appropria-
tions beginning in 1886.
President Hoover approves the
measure. Senator Reed Rep., Pa
one of the staunchest administration
men, voted against it, with the dec
laration that historians writing on
the rise and fall of the American
republic, would point to today as
a milestone on the road to disinte-
grafton"
Before adjournment, the senate
still has to work out some sort of
compromise between plans of the
administration, senate Democrats
and house Democrats for relieving
unemployment by stimulating con-
struction work.
Mr.. Hoover wants the construction
confined to "self-liquidating" pro-
jectS, to be financed by the Recon-
struction corporation. Senate Demo-
Gratis are backing a bill which pro-
poses to supplement this with a
$500,000,0 bond issue for public
works. The Garner bill passed by
the house asks $1,000, 100000 bond
issue.
Supply Bills Up
The appropriation bill before the
senate today was that for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Other annual
supply bills are ready for consider
alton and probably will be shot
through at high speed.
The house was to continue debate
today on bill to put into effect
President Hoover'S proposal for a
system of home loan discount banks
to aid small home Owners. The SEN
ate banking committee was sched-
uled to consider similar legislation
House and senate conferees, after
two days delay, planned to expedite
final agreement on the economy bill
Western senators are demanding
a vote on farm relief legislation
and probably will get it. But other
controversial bills not of greatest
Importance have little chance OF
considera alton now.
Senator Halves Dem, MOI
sought an agreement for considera-
ton Of the Philippine independence
bill. Senator Dill ODem., Wash
blocked his move, on the grounds
that it would tie up the senate for
week or ten days.

JOB INSURANCE
ALMOST LAW
la Toilette Expected to
Sign Wisconsin Bill.

BIZ United Press
MADISON, Wis, Jan. 15.-The
signature of Governor Philip La
Toilette only was needed today to
initiate unemployment insurance in
WiSconSin-the first state to take
such action.
He was expected to sign the meas
.ure, which was passed by both
houses of the legislature.
The bill makes the plan compul-
sorry, unless employers adopt a
similar system voluntarily embrace
ing 175,OO0 employees by July 1,
1888.
The employers are required by the
act to contribute an amount equal
to 2 per cent of their weekly pay
roll to establish a fund totaling SIS
for each employe eligible for the
benefit.
The maximum benefit would be
$500 year, paid at a rate of $40 a
week and not more than SO per
cent of the average weekly wage
for not more than ten weeks a
year.
Those exempt from the insurance
plan include farm labor, teachers,
domesticS and workers guaranteed
a fixed salary eleven months year

Both arrests of Reilly were made
by Detectives Morris Corbin and
Cortland Coleman.
It was said that Reiliy's detective
license was Cancelled in 1928 by the
secretary Of state. Reilly recently
figured in the investigation and
solution of two murder cases.

LESLIE'S TAX COUP
AMAZES AUDITOR
Governor Has Nothing to Do
With Fund Distribution,
Williamson SAYS.

Governor Harry G.. Leslie stole
State Auditor Floyd E. Williamson's
thunder today, boldly announcing
that he had approved distribution
of $4,063,138 of state gasoline tax
funds to the Indiana counties, to be
made now instead of March l.
Williamson had been working on
the idea for some time and was
ready to send q QUESTIONABLE to
county officials asking them if they
wanted the money.
When he saw that Leslie had
taken the 1imelight today, he was
astounded. He pointed out that dis
tribution of gasoline tax money
rests entirely with the state auditor
under the law in Indiana, and
neither the Governor nor the state
treasurer has anything to do with it.
Announces His Own Plan
So, after delaying until the Gov
ernor got the glory, Williamson an
nounced his own plan of distribu-
ton today.
In the first place, there will be no
general distribution of the funds
until the regular date, March 1. he
declared. But counties needing the
money now can make application to
the state auditors office and can
get about $4,000 apiece to spend on
road work for unemployment relief
or to put on deposit in their local
banks, where such funds would be
useful,
The original Williamson idea was
to distribute the money to aid the
local community banking situation.
rather than to have it spent at
once for road work.
Will Aid Banks
The law provides that cent out
of each cents a gallon gas tax COL
lected must be given to cities, coun-
ties and towns for road and street
repair.
Williamson said that $4,000 cash
would be big aid to many small
town banks.
In announcing the fund distribu-
ton, Governor Leslie took the credit
to himself as being part of his un-
employment relief program.
This program recently had been
termed "do-nothing" one by Pres
ident John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers.
But the whole idea of distributing
the gas tax before March 1, is not a
new one. It was distributed month
earlier last year.

LUDLOW FACES
SHOWDOWN ON
DRY Law VOTE
Anti Prohibition Association
to Quiz All AspirantS
for Congress.
OFFENSIVE LAUNCHED
Opponents of Referendum
viii Be Fought in
Next Election.

Congressman Louis Ludlow must
take definite stand on the prohibit
ton question and proposals for a
national referendum on the subject
before the May primaries. This is
the dictum which went out today
from the offices of the Indiana di-
vision of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment.
For that matter, not only Lud-
low, but all congressional aspirants,
will have to make clear their
stands, declared William Stokes,
secretary.
First step in the offensive came
today with the announcement by
Chairman Nelson A. Gladdin that
Frank L. Lfttleton had been ap-
pointed to head the special COM
mittee to investigate the prohibi-
ton attitude of candidates for con-
gress from the Twelfth district.
Ludlow Is First
Ludlow, of course, will be the first
to be Intercepted, because he was
listed in the Indiana Saloon
League in 1923 and in 1880 as being
a dry" He also is shown as a con-
tributor to the league in the 1890
report, Stokes declared.
Ludlow also was sponsor of the
recent dry meetings in Cadle taber-
nacle.
For years the Anti-Saloon
League has been sending interroga-
tons to all candidates, and then
listing them either for approval or
opposition. BY swinging this club
the league has effectively controlled
the congressman" Gladdings assert
er, and has maintained a two-thrids
majority in congress. this blocking
any move to pass a resolution re-
peallng the eighteenth amendment.
Will Demand Stand
THE association in all Indiana,
uISCrlcCS VIII demand knowledge of
the attitude of candidates in the
primaries, as well as in the fall
elections.
Every member of the association
is pledged to vote for and support
only those men who favor permit
ting the people to decide upon the
question of the retention of prohi-
bition.
THE people of this country never
have voted on national prohibition.
IF incumbent congressman are
against permitting the voters to
exercise their constitutional right,
steps will be taken to elect only
such men as will be in favor of q
referendum"
