Former Legislator Turns
Heat On Assembly Record

The former legislator further
states that the lobbyists enjoyed a
picnic as special interests scored
again and again. He deplores the
fact that legislation advocated by
bankers, the insurance crowd, and
other privilege groups had easy 60
ing while bills affecting just ordin-
ary people experienced the rough
est handling of any Assembly in
the past decade.
Mr.. Reider lists on the plus side
the teacher-unit school subsidy;
the billion dollar appropriations
for operating expenses; constitu-
tional amendments for welfare
buildings and the Korean Vets bon
US; the increased speed limit; and
the raise in legislators, salaries
from $4,000 to $1,000 a year.
On the minus side: killed all fair
employment practice proposals;
granted a token increase in unem-
ployment compensation; fouled up
procedure in workmen's compensa-
ton; no action on the utility rate
revision proposals; and rejected
the Democrats proposal to permit
payment of supplemental unem-
ployment compensation by corpor-
ations.

Rieder Cites 101st
For Rush Action

Robert w. Reider, former DEM
ocratic three-term legislator, has
lifted the veil on the activity of the
101st General Assembly.
According to Mr.. Reider, rec
ord number of 1855 bills were in
troduced and 331 were passed into
law, nine of them over the COVER
nor's veto. But, he says, the shock
ing feature of this session was that
21e bills-virtually every import
ant piece of legislation considered
were enacted in the confusion of
closing hours of the session.
Many members admitted frank
ly that they didn't know what they
were voting on as one important
measure after another was thrown
at them with hasty deletions and
changes adopted by conference
committees in last-minute action to
rush the Asession to a close.
Consequently, the topheavy Re-
publican majority must shoulder
the responsibility of explaining its
failures when the people of Ohio
have an opportunity to examine
the mediocre accomplishments of
this session." he says.

Ray Cautious About
Olson Title Bout

Milwaukee, Wis, Apr. 26. -
Sugar Ray Robinson is not fool
ing himself these days. Instead,
the former welterweight and mid
dleweight champion is truthful to
supporters and himself.
Robinson scored a third-round
technical knockout over Ted Ola
here last Thursday night, and
while he was well pleased with his
performance, the former champion
who is attempting a comeback,
recognized he's a long way from
top condition.
I'm happy at my progress"
said Robinson, "but Pm just be-
ginning to find myself. I'm not
at point yet where I'd want to
or could fight Bobo Olson for the
middleweight title"
The victory over Ola was the
