Among bills passed by both houses last week was one to make women eligible for grand jury duty. Another was a bill to retain the payroll variation plan ni the place of the charge-bac- k plan for in unemployment in-surance. sale by drink be placed before the electorate. This proposal was immediately placed before the Senate in a joint resolution in-troduced by Sens. P. S. Martha-ki- s (D-- L.) and Lewis H. Lar-se- n b) asking the ques-tion be put on the ballot in the fall of 1950. A special committee in the House, however, is out against submitting the sale by drink que-stion and wants to make the "locker system" in non-prof- it clubs unlawful. This all leads up to a battle on liquor sometime before the ses-sion ends, and it will be up to the sifting committees to group the bills for presentation. Also to be grouped by sifting committees will be welfare mat-ters, which seem to be gathering steam. There is talk that the House bill to repeal the welfare lien law' would never get by the Senate even if it is passed by the lower house. It is not introduced in the upper house at all. Plans are to pull out a bill to reorganize the welfare depart-ment by removing the three-ma- n commission and substituting a director with a seven-ma- n un- - plans since 1945 from planned disbursements of nearly $550,000 for the work. Most of the plans are for buildings still unauthor-ized or setup by the legislature, the report stated. As a result the Senate turned the matter over to the Utah Le-gislative Council for investiga-tion and report after Senate Re-publicans, headed by Sens. Mit-chell Melich and Rue L. Clegg end a single Democrat and close friend of Governor Lee, Senator Marl D. Gibson e) had shouted "political favoritism" and "graft". Senator Gibson said that on the "face of things, is certainly looks like graft and corruption in state government." He added that he didn't know "but what a criminal investigation is in or-der." Particular reference was paid to a section of the report show-ing that A. B. Paulson, Salt Lake City, former superintendent of public construction for the State building Board had received $32,-40- 0 for plans on an unauthoriz.l state office building. The job went to him shortly after he re-signed his state post. He also re-ceived more than $11,000 for planning the naval science build-ing at the University of Utah about the same time. Also making its appearance was a report of the governor's 20-m- liquor investigation com-mittee. Principally, the Commit-tee recommends the question of titud JeY?nucs d not long a,ud th,e legislators came ovorU&r f Smething Now, as the session approach-- u u en,c! ?f lts spventh week, lc.h wU leave only 10 work-ing days remaining out of 60, the ft ween the chief executive and the lawmakers over fmances .ppears even wider. Th eappro-pnatio- bill is finally readv, but is lar above the overnar's "Econ-m- y budget. It undoubtedly lust be amended on the floors fi tiie two houses or face a veto jin a number of sections. That would make it necessary to eith-er override vetoes, rewrite the ln" t0 satisfy those who may not want to override in some instan-ces or allow the governor to have his way. Consequently, much of the fire in these closing days is certain to lie over the appropriations bill. But there are other issues that must receive attention and some of them haven't even reached the chambers in any form. Repeal of the Clegg-Ve- st law, Ltah's counterpart of the Tuft-Hartle- y, is now on the pan in the Senate after passing the House as a straight repeal. Final vote was 33-3- 2, after an attempt to .''mend the measure to leave in the present law the bans against secondary boycotts and jurisdic-tional disputes had lost by a vote of 28-2- Rep. Clifton G. M. Kerr offered the amend-ments after it apueared the had drawn at approval a caucus of House Democrats. Only nine Democrats voted for the amendment, however, and in final passage of the bill four of these said they would vote for the bill with hopes that the Sen-ate would amend it. In final passage the other five voted against repeal, along with 17 Republicans, while 32 Demo-crats and one Republican, Rep. Frank H. Openshaw, voted for the measure. Rep. Openshaw ex-plained that he voted for the bill in order to be in a position to ask for reconsideration, which he passpd up. Leading the fight for repeal in the House was Rep. Frank Bon-i.c- ci regional director of CIO. Among those furnishing strongest backing were Rep. Hen-ry C. Roberts and Maurice Anderson Opposition came chiefly from Representative Kerr and Rep. Dilworth S. Wooley (R-- L.). Observation in the Senate in-dicated that the bill would not pass in its original form and that it might have a rough time of it even if it were "watered down." Another labor measure handed over to the Senate for considera-tion was the one calling for crea-tion of a mediation board binding all parties in labor disputes. Thus bill was given unanimous appro-val in the House. During the sixth week, the House also polished off the fam-ed ".22 rifle bill" by killing it on a 9-- vote, even after the Senate had taken out all restrictions on the .22 rifle except to make par-ents responsible for its misuse by minor children. Senate activities were enliven-ed by the appearance of a com-munication from the governor snowing expenditures of more than $284,000 for architectural ft 1 I By Harry Marlowe I k on the fifteenth day of.
