KEYSTONE SESSION
TO INFLUENCE VOTE
Political Maneuverings in
Legislature Give Rise to
Conflicting Claims.
BY WALTER ID. ROOS.
Special Correspondent of The stal


HARRISBURG, Pa. August g.
Political effects of a special legislative
session, which has wrangled over re-
lief, social security and taxes through
the past IA weeks, are expected to be
an important factor in the Pennsyl-
vania vote next November
The two parties conflicting claims
Of carrying the State are based to a
degree on gains they believe they have
made in the political maneuvering in
legislative halls.
Gov. Earle had recommended $780,
100000 in new taxes. including ST.
100000 for relief until February /; but
compromise with the Republican
Senate reduced the total to s50,500,-
900. of which s45, 100000 is for relief
through January.
Budget Cut Seen Issue.
Republicans believe their victory in
forcing reduction Of S30,0O0,000 in
one years tax budget gives them an
appealing campaign issue. Democrats
believe they have profited in maneu-
vering the Republicans to increase the
relief grant $10,000,000 above the
original Republican proposal.
IncesSant partisan warfare over
adequacy of relief and methods of ad-
ministration have marked the session.
Twice during July, when stop-gap
funds were exhausted, relief payments
stopped temporarily-once for seven
days, another time for nine. In each
instance the Republican Senate had
authorized additional temporary funds
which the Democratic House refused
to approve until Republicans had
committed themselves to enactment
of a complete tax program.
For that reason, the G. o. P. ac-
cuses the Democrats of shutting of
relief as "a deliberate scheme to
create riots in the State" in the hope
Of forcing the Senate to accept the
Democratic State administration tax
program. The riots, however, did
not occur.
For the past three weeks, so-called
hunger marcherS" have laid siege to
the Senate, holding the galleries day
and night. Republicans have charged
the demonstrators were imported by
the Earle administration to act as a
pressure group to stampede the
Senate into surrender to the Governor.
Food Allowance Cited.
To bolster their accusation, the Re-
publicans cite that during the crises
in which the unemployed back home
got no relief at all the marchers at
the Capitol received 81 day for food
from special funds designated by Gov.
Earle. The effect, the Republicans
charged, was to invite additional dele
cations of demonstrators to join the
marchers; and reinforcements came.
Republicans this week made certain
their charges of political terrorism of
persons on relief and relief projects
will be kept alive during the campaign.
The Senate authorized an investiga-
ton of charges that citizens are COM
PEELED to register in a particular
party" or vote as told in order to get
relief or be enrolled on works projects.
The inquiry was ordered as a sub
stitute for the Senates probe of the
w. P. A. in Pennsylvania, which was
halted in June by a Federal court in
junction.
Meanwhile, plans for the more for
NAL methods of campaigning are
moving rapidly.

HARTFORD, Conn, August g.
The campaign in Connecticut this
Fall threatens to have its climax In
the State Capitol in view of the an
nounced intention of Gov. Wilbur L.
Cross, Democrat, to call special ses-
sion of the Legislature for the week

The session appears necessary In
order to make the State law on the

conform with conditions under the
twentieth amendment, as The present
Connecticut law calls for meeting
of the electors on January s.
1t is the expectation of the Gov

cess over election and reconvene to
act on a State unemployment insur-
ance law in order that ne State may
receive the 90 per cent credit allowed
on the tax imposed by the social
security act.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, August 8
(SpeciaD West Virginia's eight elec-

a considerable extent the use Of the
highways by buses and out of-state
freight trucks. He said the commission
had positive information that the
buses and trucks are responsible for
many highway accidents. He said they
are giving the railroads terrific COM
petition, resulting in the discontinuance
of train service in some sections and
the moving away of equipment. This
means loss for the state in taxation
He argues that the buses and freight
trucks should pay a fairer share of the
cost Of highway building and mairte-
nance. Many Of them carry their gas
supply with them and do not buy a
single gallon of gasoline while passing
through the state, he said. DR.. Nc
Gregor said bill would be introduced
in the next legislature to correct this
unfairness. Il do not want to eliminate
the buses and trucks. We need them,
said the doctor, but they should pay
more than they do for use of our
highways
M. D Rowland acted as chairman of
the meeting and introduced DR.. Me-

CHAN PICTURES LAUNCHED
MANY ON STAR ROUTE

Get part in Charlie Chan picture
and become . movie start
The magic of this formula was in
dictated by checkup of the casts Of
the ten productions in Goth Century
Fox's famous series which began back
in 1881
The pictures which have brought
fame and fortune to Warner GLAND,
creator of the Chan role, also have
proved springboards to Success for
nearly dozen other players.
And now, with the tenth Of the
Charlie Chan series, "Charlie CHAINS
Secret" now at the Kootenai Theatre,
it is not improbable that other young
players are being pointed for stardom.
George Brent had comparatively
small supporting role in the first Chan
picture, Charlie Chan Carries On.
