THE CAPITOL i By UNITED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 15 r.R) With the 22nd session of Utah's legislature barely under way, storm signals already are flying. Progressives jumped swiftly into in-to the saddle, selecting Dr. Herbert B. Maw and Joseph L. Jensen of Ogden for the senate presidency and house speakership, respectively, respective-ly, at Saturday night's Democratic caucus at the Newhouse hotel. But when both houses convened at noon Monday, there were two vacant places in the senate chamber. cham-ber. One was that of William H. Griffin, Jr., the senate's lone Republican Re-publican from Cache county, who was ill. The other was that which normally would have been occupied occu-pied by the successor to Hugh M. Woodward, Provo, resigned. And therein, many believe, lies a story which may, or may not, as developments will reveal, touch off an internal battle in the Democratic Demo-cratic camp. Considerably prior to the legislative legis-lative opening on capitol hill, the Utah county Democratic committee, commit-tee, acting in accordance with a law passed during- Governor Henry H. Blood's first administration, recommended to Blood that A. O. Ellett be appointed Woodward's successor. But apparently .small, whito-haired whito-haired Governor Blood could not see things that way. To inquirers, his office had little to say. To Utah county Democrats, however, reports say the governor indicated that Ellett 'was not the candidate the administration desires seated. Instead, it has been .said widely. Blood returned to I'tah county the names of three men. with the idea of obtaining organization endorsement en-dorsement of any one of them. While no visible discontent ha? appeared on the surface, there are those who believe the governor anticipates an invigorating tussle with the legislative Progresssive group, and refuses to nnpont K-lett.

An empty seat in the senate obviously could not be a vote in favor of a conceivable con-ceivable anti-administration bolt. Tending to refute thi lme reasoning, however, were the inaugural in-augural addresses of Speaker Jensen Jen-sen and Senate President Maw.

Barring opposition in the house, the senate is expected to push through an emergency bill extending ex-tending until February 28, the deadline for truckers to obtain operating permits. The matter came up in the senate yesterday in Senate Bill No. 16, introduced by Senator Lawrence E. Nelson, D., Salt Lake, but was voted down 13 to 7. Described by Nelson as an emergency measure to hold until permanent trucking legislation is passed later in the session, the bill would have extended the deadline dead-line on all licenses, including passenger pas-senger cars until the February date. In accordance with Governor Henry H. Blood's recommendation in his budget message, an increase in-crease in truckers' ton mile tax as a source of new revenue is considered almost certain. Until the new schedule of fees is definitely defin-itely outlined. Nelson contended, operators should be permitted to continue with 1936 licenses. After rejecting the bill which was brought to third reading and vote under suspension of rules, the senate agreed to reconsider it as a special order of business on motion of Senator- Warwick C. Lamoreaux, D.. Salt Lake. The bill, if passed, is not expected ex-pected to affect passenger vehicles, ve-hicles, however. Pre-historic Man's Last Meal Studied BERLIN 'American Wire) Food in the stomach of a corpse many centuries old has just been analyzed by Prof. Fritz Netolitzky of the University of Czernowitz, Poland. Dr. Netolitzky found the corpse in a bog. Acid in the water had preserved the body. The victim's last meal included rye. millet and possibly peas, the professor found.

Said Maw: 'We must be mindful of the fact that the federal government is making severe tax demands on business. We must, therefore, exercise ex-ercise care in our taxation program pro-gram so as not to penalize any commercial activities." Maw's tones were divergent from those of last session, when he swung huskily at utilities corpor ations, seemingly at every opportunity. oppor-tunity. Legislature opening with such i ponderous agenda in prospect was not without its lighter moments. mo-ments. Maw provided two good lausrhs for the senate.

Wood's proposal was the most drastic of a varied array of Progressive Pro-gressive legislation to emerge from initial meetings of the legislature. legis-lature. Nineteen bills, all originating in the senate, have been started on their way toward floor action. State Police Proposed Senator Lawrence E. Nelson, D., Salt Lake, placed before the senate a proposal to establish a Utah state police organization. The measure, which would set up a state constabulary headed by a superintendent of police, would take from the governor many of the appointments he now holds. Liquor division enforcement officers, of-ficers, fish and game commission wardens, state highway patrol officers of-ficers and county sheriffs. the latter at their choice and subject sub-ject to approval of their county commissioners, would be brought into the state police system, as i would officers of the state crim inal identification bureau. Appoint In 10 Da; The superintendent would be appointed by the governor, subject sub-ject to senate approval, within 10 days after the law becomes effective. ef-fective. Several clauses of the bill are designed to divorce police activities activi-ties from politics. One specifies that no member of the state con stabulary may participate, in political po-litical contests. in general or state elections. The bill would set up a police training school from which candidates for police jobs would have to graduate before taking civil service examinations. Once employed, they would be strictly on civil service basis. One half the expense of the state police system. Nelson proposed, should be paid from state road department funds and the other half by liquor commission revenues. rev-enues.

Patronage Squabhl While the senate thus began the flood of legislation expected before the session closes, house members were inactive along this line, but engaged vesterdav i" their first skirmish. Patronage and joint rules brought forth the squabble. The most snjrtted battle ended with representatives rejecting its patronage committees list and recommitting it to the committee commit-tee because the list of house employes em-ployes contained 16 Salt Lake county names in a total of 34. The house adopted with only minor revision rules of the las? session. A proposal which would have placed considerable power in the hands of a steering, or sifting, committee was defeated as was a suggestion to reduce the number of appropriations committeemen. com-mitteemen.
