GROSS RECEIPTS LEVY BILL
ADVANCES TO SENATE BODY
AUSTIN, May 17—(P—Exactly a
week behind schedule, the-legislat-
ive ship of state sailed, serenely
along today with no indication of
when it would tie up at the pension
pier, goal of € the four-month ses-
sion.
When the house and senate
knocked off work yesterday mem-
bers had completed 127 days, where-
as the constitution suggests sessions
last 120 days. And still unettled
was the ma jor-question—pension fi-
nancing, to say nothing of a num-
ber of bills of major importance.
The house continued to drill away
at the last of its big money bills-
the departmental appropriations
measure. In the senate the county

To a statement of Rep. E. H.
Thornton Jr. of Galveston, approp-
riations committee chairman, that
the department made no request for
the increases supplies. Finer replied
“they didn’t ask for it because they
knew they wouldn’t get it."
Also approved were amendments
boosting salary of the labor com-
missioner from $3,000 to $3,600;
hiking the pay of an inspector in
the markets and warehouse division
of the agriculture department from
$1800 to $2000; providing for an ad-

A stubborn fight by its spon-
sors staved off numerous salary
boosting amendments to the de-
partmental bill. But those seek-
ing to liberalize stipends man-
aged to increase the two-year
$29,000,000 proposal by $55,400.
The largest single increase ap-
proved was an amendment by Rep
R G Piner Jr . Greenville chiro-
practor, raising the allotment for
drugs and equipment in local clin-
ics under the public health depart-
ment from $15,000 to $40,000.

COMMITTEE ADJOURNS
Meanwhile the senate took notice
of the pension question when the
powerful state affairs committee re-
ceived from a sub-group the gross
receipts tax bill passed several weeks
ago by the house The bill had
lain buried in the sub-committee
while the upper branch awaited
progress of its constitutional
| amendment resolution across the
corhidor.
The committee, however, adjourn-
1 ed immediately after receiving the
bill and made no attempt to vote
on it. Sub-group members said
I they had made changes "deemed
necessary" but had not done "a
great deal of work on the bill."
Among the alterations were

Roosevelt Aides
Differ on Farm
Measure Advice
WASHINGTON. May 17.—P)—
Members of President Roosevelt’s
official family were reported on
Capitol Hill today to be offering
him conflicting advice on whether
to sign or veto the $1.218,000,000
agriculture department bill.
+The president’s preliminary dis-
cussions of the record-breaking ap-
cate, was described as believing
farm aid was imperative but that
congress could do a better job of
legislating if Mr Roosevelt vetoed
the pending measure. The vice-
president has said nothing publicly
about farm or any other legislation
this year.
The president told reporters yes-
terday there had been no discus- ;
sion? of new taxes to finance farm
payments in his talk with congres-
sional and treasury tax authorities
Monday. He has argued previously
that the senate additions made
new levies necessary.
Some members of the senate fi-
nance committee said there was
little chance the senate would ap- ^
prove extra taxes for farm benefits. |
They argued if taxes ware to be
raised for these expenditures, new
levies also should be imposed to
reduce the federal deficit result-

You do not have to pamper, peek or give
much thought to a cooking job when a mod-
ern gas range is doing the work. It needs no
help for everything about it was designed to
function with little attention on your part. The
insulated oven's automatic control can be set
and roasting forgotten until specified time has
elapsed. Simmer burners handle all boiling
jobs without fear of boil-overs or burning,
thus eliminating pot watching. Burners light
automatically. These automatic time-freeing
conveniences are matched only by the beauty
of a 1939 gas range. Why not see them today
and learn how little it takes to modernise
your cooking for more leisure hours?
Nave you an old range..any kind?
