Legislature Stops
Clock in Effort
To Act on Relief
Adjournment Delayed
AS Lawmakers Wrangle
Over Killing SRA .

SACRAMENTO, June ID.
(UP)-Clocks were stopped
in the legislature today as
opposing factions struggled
to find a solution to the re-

relief appropriation.
Sine die adjournment was sched-

little chance for ending the session
until tomorrow. While both houses
worked slowly through the calen-
dars, one after another caucus was
held on the knotty problem of re-
lief.
Latest proposal of the Olson ad-
ministration was to vote straight
SRA appropriation for six months,
then call special session to chart
the future. They declared the un-
certainties of war, depression, and
employment made it impossible to
act definitely now.
Anti-Olson forces demanded out
right abolition of the SRA with no
strings attached.
Other members favored the Houser
plan of a dormant SRA until the
end of the emergency. voting be-
tween $4,000, 900 and 100000 for
public works program, and giving
counties increased aid for old age
pension programs.
Senator Jerrold Seawell had ad-

$36 100000 for the SRA for one
year and a transfer to the social
welfare department the second
year.
