BY CHARLES M. DEAX. riamb Bana, 11 Spain- Building. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE lOiQCIHI.
Columbus, Ohio, March 29 Early rationing of liquor in Ohio appeared ctrtain tonight as the Senate rushed to complete enactment of Substitute House Bill 21, previously passed by the House. This bill is intended to provide for the "equitable distribution of the available upply of whisky. Republicans terming "ration" a New Deal word, decline to use it in discussion of the measure. The bill was discussed at the legislative conference with the Governor tonight. This conference began at 3 o'clock this afternoon, lasted through a dinner at the Executive Mansion, and reconvened in the Governor's office at 10 o'clock tonight after the sessions of the Assembly.
There was an effort to agree on a number of controversial bills, and particularly the increasing of salaries of all state employees. The Governor, in his mes sage to the Assembly, recommended a 10 per cent increase in all salaries under $2,000. A large group in the Assembly favors an increase of at least 10 per cent on the first 2,000 of all state salaries, The Senate responded quickly to word from the conference that liquor must be rationed in Ohio. A special meeting of the Senate Liquor Control Committee had a speedy hearing on House Fill 211 and recommended it for passage. Senate leaders promised that the measure would be voted on this week and signed quickly by the Governor.
USHER NAME SENT TP. At tht same time Governor Bricker sent to tht Senate for confirmation hi appointment of Don A. Fisher to succeed Jacob B. Taylor as Director of Liquor Control. This appointment will be confirmed as quickly as the Senate Rules Com mittee can act.
Fisher has been 'acting" Director. The pending- bill fives the Director authority to make rules and regulations for the equitable distribution of liquor. Those back of It desire no quibbling over the title "Acting Director." Because of throngs who are disappointed when they attempt to buy liquor at state stores, heads of the department are Insisting that Ohio must have an "equitable distribution" law at once. There were predictions that Ohio would have liquor rationing within a week. The Liquor Control Committee also recommended for passage House Bill No.
366, permitting the importation of wins in tank ear lots. Ralph Grossman, Sixth Street wine merchant, headed a delega tion of Cinclnnatians urging enact ment of this legislation. A correc tive amendment providing that the wine may be purchased "when available" was offered by Senator Kane and accepted by tht committee. PASSED AS EMERGENCY. Tht Senatt tonight passed Houta Bill 370 with an emergency clause making it affective immediately.
This bill authorises the State Highway Department to cooperate with Federal agencies in carrying out the provisions of the Defense Highway Act of 1941 which pro vides for the construction of ac cess roads to war plants which are not a part of the state highway System. Under provisions of the proposed law, the Director of Highways may acquire rights of way. There is an agreement that the Federal Government will maintain tht roads not a part of the state system. Both the emergency clause and the bill passed, 30 to 0. The Senate also passed House Bill 96 previously passed in the House.
This bill gives commissioned officers in the armed forces of the United States the same authority as a notary public. Another bill to receive Senate approval was Senate Bill 158 increasing the compensation of shorthand reporters in Common Pleas Courts from $3,000 to $3,600 a year, in Courts of Appeals from $2,400 to $3,000, and increasing the cost of transcripts from 12 to 18 cents a folio. The plea was made that stenographers have had no increases in salaries for 17 years. The bill Is only permissive as the compensation is fixed by the Judges. The Senate confirmed Governor Bricker's appointment of Dr.
C. W. Waggoner, Lucas County, as a member of the State Medical Board. Two more bills were introduced in the Senate tonight. Senate Bill 257 would establish an elective community property law in Ohio.
Senate Bill 258 would require that members of the Shelby County Fair Board be elected st the regular elections in November for four-year terms, two members being elected in each township. A similar bill is in a parliamentary tangle in the House, the Senate was informed. CINCINNATIANS ATTACKED Crowd Of Negroes In Newport One Alleged Assailant Held.
