Representative Michael Feighan,

House, while in the Senate, William
Zoul, veteran solon from Cleveland,
assumed the minority leadership when
the eight Democrats were unable to
agree on leader by voting.
While organization was in progress,
the Legislature was alive with rumors
Of legislation to be introduced revising
the administrative features of the
unemployment compensation law, to
frustrate what Republicans termed a
"jo5 grab" by Democrats in retaining
political control of the Unemployment
Compensation Commission.
The two-to-one Democratic majority
on the Commission was continued in
effect by Senate confirmation of the
appointment of Keith Lawrence,
Cleveland, as successor to Charles S.
Leasure, GAINESVILLE, in the closing
minutes Of the 92nd General Assem-
bly, December 81.
The extent and manner of revising
the unemployment compensation law
is entirely in the rumor stage, and
nothing definite had been determined
by Republican administration leaders
early this week.
First two measures introduced in
the new Assembly were placed in the
House hopper. One extends the Gig
arctic tax through March 81, 1871,
and the other extends the one cent
state tax on liquid fuel for the same
period. Both measures were assigned
to the House Committee on Taxation.
Their enactment will be the first step
in providing funds for the School
Foundation Program.
