on advancing the bill to engross-
ment.
The administration coup was ac-
compliShed in the face of determined
opposition from Democratic nSur-
gents and Republicans who declared
the bill was being given the rush
act" and had been amended and
patched so that even the public
policy committee which worked on
it does not know what it now con-
tains.
Senator E. Curtis White Cd, IN
dianapoliS) offered motion at ii to
keep the bill on second reading so
the amendments incorporated up to
that time could be printed and stud
led by the Senate.
Senator White declared there Is
widespread public resentment at the
manner in which the bill is being
rushed through the General Assem-
bly,.
Many Changes Proposed
His motion was out of order at
that time because the bill then was
on second reading, as Senator Thur
man Gottsc .Ialk 3D., Berne3 pointed
out.
However, Senator White insisted
the Senate have q chance to act or
his motion End was assured by
Lieut.. Gov. M Clifford Townsnd,
Senate president, that "the Senate
belongs to so Senators and no one
is going to be taken advantage Of"
Consideration continued with both
Republicans and insurgent Demo-
Gratis keeping up a running fire Of
amendments.
Ruled Out Of Order
Aware of the approach of mid
night and end Of the legislative day,
Senator Weiss offered his motion to
advance the bill. A half dozen SEN
ators were on their feet waving
amendments.
Senator White, joined by Senators
John Bright Webb and Leo x.
Smith, Indianapolis, insisted the
plea for delay had not received
proper consideration, but the chair
ruled the motion was in order.
The boiling Democrats demanded
roll call on which the adminiStra-
ton barely was able to muster the
one vote necessary to advance the
bill. The roll call showed:

that Senator Whites delay motion
had been treated unfairly, Presi-
dent Townsend insisted the White
motion could be acted on just as
well by voting down the Weiss mo-
ton.
He did not succeed, however, in
accelerating the vote, every dissent
ing Senator elinging to his right TO
explain his no" vote.
Recognition Refused
Later, several Senators said they
still had amendments on which the
chair had refused to recognize them.
This was particularly true on the
minority side in the case Of Senator
Ralph Jernegan, Mishawaka, who
did not obtain recognition until near
! the end Of the session.
The advancement of the bill came
on the basis Of reports in the after
noon that no attempt would be
made to pass the liquor bill at this
session of the assembly and that it
would be put off until the special
session this summer.
There was considerable sentiment
il favor Of delay, but immediate
action was reported as demanded by
Gov. Paul v. Menu at a caucus Of
the majority.
Amendments Voted Down
The numerous amendments Of
fered by the minority included at
temptS to curb the broad authority
of the Alcoholic Beverage Commits
sion in creating enfN~cement jobs.
The majority VI them down.
