Kentucky Issues May Be Cuidepost In Fall Election
By JACK STINNETT

LOUISVILLE - The trials and tribulations of a governor who takes over in a state normally controlled by the opposition never were better demonstrated than here in Kentucky.
 Gov. Simeon s. Willis went in- to office at the end of last year in the first Republican landslide" in more than 20 years. His state legislature was against him but not to such an extent that the governors veto wouldn't upset the Democratic apple cart.
 The result. was that when the first general appropriation bill came up, the legislature was dead locked and went home without acting. The governor wanted free dom to tap the surplus of some $11,OO0,000 that Democratic ad- ministrations had left in the till. The Democrats wanted a law to prevent his touching the saving.
The Nome nugget., 1944-07-17

Alarmed about the situation that would leave state schools without operating funds, the gov ernor called special session. The special session jumped the dash board, enacted a general. appro- priations bill of something over 60 million, and made a compromise that the governor would be all lowed to tap three million of the surplus. The state senate's Is Re- publicans went for the compro- mise, in spite of the governors opposition. At this writing, it was considered certain the lower house would string along That put it up to the govrnor.
 Whether he vetoed the appro- priation bill or didn't it was likely to go to the State supreme court for interpretation of the state con- sitution. Some attorneys here say that the constitution specifically provides that no special session can enact legislation other than that for which it is called in ses- sion. They argue however that if the governor signed the bill, the courts might interpret that he had admitted the special session was called to enact general ap- propriations as well as special.
