Custer Bill MAY
Be Law Without
Lausche's S Sig

COLUMBUS, O.,-tR The
newly passed bill giving the gov
ernor power to start removal
against sheriffs, prosecutors, and
mayors who fail to enforce gamb-
ling laws may become law with
out Gov. Frank ]. Lausche's sig
nature.
Sources close to the Governor
indicated teday the executive
may take that course because of
dissatisfaction over parts of the
measure.
Friends said Lausche objected
particularly to a weakening of
his power to remove mayors who
wink at law violations.
The proposed law gives the
governor authority to file removal
complaints against the three Of
ficiaiS in their common pleas
courts. The courts then would de-
eide Wnether the OFFICIALS Snoulo
he removed.
The governor had requested the
same authority to remove sheriffs
and prosecutors that he now holds
over mayors. He also asked the
same removal authority over city
managers. Lausche said he needed
the power to combat commercial
gambling
The new measure would become
law without the Governors sigma
ture in 10 days. 1t would 60 in
to effect 90 days later. The gov
ernor also could sign the bill in
to law, or veto it. Friends said
Lausche is unlikely to follow
either of those courses.

Lbs Class PLAY
Set May 1924
BY Barb and RilIa

'Mmmmmm! Smell the grease
paint. Look! It's an airport"
Feeling like very privileged
characters, we sat spellbound in
the LIIS auditorium watching the
1851 senior class play in rehear-
sal The production by Henry
Nusbaum is called Sky Road :
a name that had us wondering
until we learned that the play
depicted life at an airport when
commercial aviation was in its
infancy.
The setting makes this play diff
ferent from the run-of- -the-mill
class performances. The blaring of
the loud speaker, the switchboard
operators monotone, the hustle of
busy people hurrying in and out
set a swift pace for the action.
The problems of a growing avia-
ton business and their effect on
the people whose job it is to
solve them makes this a faScinat-
ing story
Each character in the well-cast
play is a distinct personality with
the spirit and energy to create
and build new field in this
case, flying.
After sampling the first act
were anticipating an evening OF
pleasure May % and May % when
Sky Road is presented in the Lon
don High School auditorium.
