Members of the committee.
headed by Senator J. NJ. koontz,
D.. Okanogan, refused to discuss
the bill but 1t was known that the
draft placed before it for study
and revision provided that Gov.
Martin and Finance Director Olaf
l.. Olsen would be the other two
members of the commission.
The bill was turned over to the
committee yesterday and meet
ing was held to discuss its pro-
visions. 1t probably is drafted
along lines recommended by the
governor in his legislative address
when he suggested a general re-
vision of the states social security
set.up.
To Answer Critics
1t was believed the bill was
aimed to answer critics of the
present administration, some of
them members of the governor
own bloc, who have attacked 1t for
assertedly not being businesslike.
Inclusion of Olsen. who runs the
states institutions and purchas-
ing division, and the governor on
the commission would answer that
criticism.
Indication that the senate in
tended TO do something" about
social security was seen in the
case with which four welfare re-
vision bills were passed by the adj
ministration bloc. Several right
wing Democrat senators joined
with the left wingers in criticiz-
ing the present set-up which may
have led to submission of the bill
to head off any more stringent
measures.
Return Part of Load
The bill also may include Sec
tons providing for return of direct
relief, medical care and institutions
to the counties, as Is being studied
in the governors "deflation" pro-
gram for social security.
The governor Is known To be
considering unloading part of the
huge welfare burden back onto the
counties and retaining for the
state only those activities or
which 1t can secure federal match
ing money, such as old age, ant
blind pensions and aid to depend
ent children.

It seems that gas company en-

hole down through the ground.
Mysterious Abyss
Curiosity got the better of them
and one of the workmen decided to
see where the hole led to- II
seemed like deep hole, so he got
a stick about Il feet long and
started probing. The stick just
kept on going into some mysteri-
Gus abyss.
AS the streets subgrade prob
ably was disappearing into this
hole, the workmen decided to re-
port it.

street crews and city lawyers are
all busy now. especially the

Seek Hours Reduction
The Building Service Employees
union called the strike, first
against the Midtown and the Penn
Zone Realty Owners associations.
and later against other building
arrangements that did not have
union contracts.
The strikers demanded a reduc-
ton of the work week to 40 hours
from As and an increase IN wages
of from Is to 20 per cent. They
had been signing contracts with
individual arrangements, however,
providing only 81 a week wage
increase and 84-hour week, and
isaacs hoped that this compromise
could be extended 10 all employers.
Under a three-year contract
with the two owners associations,
which expired Tuesday midnight,
building workers had earned from
