NOTES
BY GEORGE c. PHILPOT

Monday evening the House re-
fused to concur in the Senate
amendments to Am. H. B. 260.
The author, Mr.. Cloud, requested
the House to take this action.
The bill permits the county COM
missioners to trade in old equip
ment on the sale of new equip
ment.
Sub. H. B. was re-referred to
the rules committee upon the re-
quest of the author. The reason
given was that the Senate has
passed a similar bill and it could
be substituted for Sub. H. B. GOA.
Sub. S. B. 149 was passed but
it affected only members of local
retirement system in Cincinnati
and Cleveland.
Am. S. B. $50 relates to the
employment of minors in profes-
sional theatrical productions.
Several of us members opposed
it, but it passed.
Am. S. B. 200 relates to the dis
position of earnings of the Gin
cinnati street railway system. 1t
permits them to use earnings to
pay principal as well as interest
on Indebtedness. 1t affected only
that city and was passed with a
large majority.
Sub. H B. SIS failed on pass
age. 1t would have permitted the
members of the merchant mar
inc, U. S. 0. and Red Cross to
use their enlistment period up to
1947 as prior service when join
ing the public employees retire
ment system. Most members felt
these organizations differed from
the regular service units because
of difference in danger and pay.
The vote was 81 yeas-62 nays.
Sub. H. B. 566 was tabled by
a vote of SO to 35. This bill would
have given life tenure of office
to examiners employed by the
Public Utilities commission. Sew
eral members opposed the bill
because of widespread criticism
of the activities of the Public
Utilities commission.
Tuesday, the House had five
bills on the regular calendar and

off the personal property list and
places license on them. The IL
cense fee varies according to the
passenger capacity. The vote was
very close to the necessary ma
jority, which is 68. The yeas
were II, nays 40.
Am. S. B. 265 defines the term
utility company. 1t permits a
company to supply certain serv-
ices to tenants when this service
is only incidental because of the
renting of certain property. &
Sub. H. B. 594, when enacted
will permit the state to loan
money to state universities for
the construction and equipping
of buildings for student centers.
Isn't it strange that there is
money for that type of building,
but apparently none for the con-
struction of new buildings for
little children or for the repair of
the old buildings?
Last Thursday we appeared be-
fore the finance committee and
requested some appropriation for
new construction. l made the
opening talk and told the COM
mittee that Mr.. st. Clair of the
state department would explain
the survey he made at the re-
quest of Governor Herbert
Monday, Mr.. st. Clair and Mr..
O'Keefe of the o. E A. spoke in
favor of the proposed appropria-
ton. If we are lucky, we may be
able to secure some additional
aid for districts like Caldwell,
which have done their utmost
and still cannot raise enough to
build the type of building they
need.
Wednesday morning the House
committee on education recon-
mended for passage S. B. 40,
which grants a cost of living raise
for teachers and provides $3.50
for each pupil to be used in pay
ing operating costs and as salar-
les of janitorS and bus drivers
and other necessary expenses.
The last item will be a great help
to many schools which are hard
pressed by those operating ex-
penses.
Wednesday afternoon and eve
ming the Senate was the scene of
one of the stormiest sessions in
many years. Tempers flared,
tongues lashed out with vitriolic
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1949-06-30

denunciations and accusations.
Abusive remarks, denials and
apologies kept the spectators on
the edge of their chairs. The out
come of the session which ran
all afternoon and we'll into the
evening because the leadership
could not get enough votes to put
over motion to adjourn, was
the defeat of the conference COM
mittee report of the fair employ
ment practices commission bill.
/ This action will probably finish
the bill for this session.
The house finance committee
failed to place any money in the
additions and betterment for the
construction of new school build
ings. One member of the commit
tee told me a motion for $6,000,-
900 was made and seconded, but
failed to pass. We still have the
opportunity to amend the bill on
the floor of the House and there
is chance that the Senate may
put something in the bill for new
construction when they consider
the bill. County Superintendent
Porter of Morgan county attend
ed the hearing for S. B. 49 We'd
nesday morning.
Thursday, the House passed
Sub. S. B. 4, which combined the
original S. B. and a similar
House bill. This bill permits
cities and villages to let contracts
and make purchases up to $1,000
without a vote of the electors.
Sub. H. B. 591 passed. It limits
the time to Is years in which ac-
ton to recover inheritance may
be taken.

ing of additional signs on U. S.

Skins Sign Berrang,
ViNanova F|ankman

Apparently concentrating on sign
ing players obtained in the National
Football League draft and letting
the matter of new head coach wait
its turn, the Redskins today had
another highly rated end in the
fold with the addition Of Ed Ber-
rang of Villanova.
A 210-pound, 6-foot-2 youngster
Berrang was outstanding in Villa
nova's PIT triumph over Nevada in
the Harbor Bowl game at San Diego
on New Years Day. He was one
of the reasons Stan Heath, Nevada S
ace and the Nations top inter-
collegiate passer, completed only
three passes in IA attempts before
leaving the game with an injury.
Berrang, "a years old, was the
Redskins fifth draft choice. He
started all of Villanova's games dur
ing the last two seasons and in the
1948 campaign caught IS passes,
three for touchdowns. His work
earned him honorable mention on
the Associated Press All-America
and a berth on Golfers All-Eastern
eleven.
The Wildcat end, who has been
compared with Joe Tereshinski in
style and manner, was recommend
ed by Paul Bryant, Kentucky coach,
who was reported to be one of the
choices as a successor to Turk Ed
wards. Berrang is the fourth new
player signed by the Tribe.

Grand Jury Hears
SIeuths and Other
Fix Witnesses
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-Detectives
and other witnesses were called to
testify today before a New York
County CManhattan grand jury in
vestigating an alleged attempt by
four men to bribe a George Wash
ington player with $1,000 to "fix" a
college basket ball game.
The probe began yesterday with
testimony by the player who re-
ported the alleged bribe attempt,
David Shapiro, rs, of Brooklyn, CO.
captain of the G.. w. team.
Shapiro was praised highly by the
authorities for cooperating in a
four month undercover investigation
which led to four arrests.
Bail of $50,00O each was set yes
terday for four men charged with
attempting to bribe participant in
amateur sports and with conspiracy.
The defendants, all of whom de-
MED offering bribe, are: Jack Levy,
40, of Miami, Fla: William Rivlin,
43, of New York; Joseph Aronowitz,
35, of Brooklyn, and Philip Klein, "a,
of Brooklyn.
They were arrested Tuseday
night-the night a fix" allegedly
was to have juggled the score Of
the Madison Square Garden game
between George Washington and
Manhattan College of New York.
Assistant District Attorney Alfred
j. Scott said a sister-in-law of
Aronowitz-Sylvia Brill, 22-year-old
Brooklyn bookkeeper-was ques-
toned yesterday at the district at
torney's Office.
Scott said Miss Brill was ques-
toned about a New Years Eve
party at a hotel here because she
reportedly was present when some
of the men in the case met and,
Scott said, invited Shapiro to attend
their party. Shapiro told newmen
he went to the hotel, spoke with
Miss Brill a few minutes, then left
because the district attorney told
him to do so.
The questioning. Scott said, was
in an effort to determine whether
basket ball was discussed at the
party. Scott did not reveal to
newsmen what Miss Brill told them.
District Attorney Frank S. Hogan
said no further arrests are expected,
and there Is no evidence OF an
attempt to Elk" any other college
game.
The prosecutor said Shapiro told
him the defendants wanted him to
make sure that Manhattan beat
