First Division Legislator Protests Slow Work
 on Ballot Bill

A Balkan powder keg blew up this morning in the House of Represen- tatives when Serbian-born Repre- sentative Steve Vukovich roared out his disapproval of "horseplay" amendment attempts on a bill to create single ballot ill primary elections.
 Vukovichs ire was aroused when attorney Representative Warren Taylor of Kodiak offered an amend ment to strike the purpose and in- tent clause of the bill. Bill author Representative Curtis Shattuck had previously declared a pending flood of amendments an attempt to "emas- culate" the measure.
 Usually peaceful Vukovich wrath fully proclaimed: I'm getting sick and tired of this stalling around I don't have to be an attorney to know what's going on in this house! All it takes is a little common sense!"
 The bill, No. 8 on the House list, had come out of election committee without recommendation, went into second reading, went back for fram ing e substitute measure, wealth cred a two-day attempt at indefinite postponement and had come back again for amendments to the sub stitute bill The dust settled over today's battles with continuance in second reading amendment stage to February 8.
 If the bill is passed in it's primary form, voters in the primary will ask for a single ballot without neces- sity of declaring their party affilia- ton.
 Two memorials were introduced in today's morning esssion, Nos. 2 and 3, by Third Divisions asking rural school gymnasium facilities and cer- tain road construction.
 Anderson and Vukovich's House Bill No. l6 to raise old age assistance from S45 to $60 showed apparent popular approval and was advanced to third reading.
 Another political bill Representa- tive Hopes No. B, which would change the general election date from September to the second Tues day in October was continued in second reading.
