Lausche Seeks GOP-Greased Path On Sheriff Ouster
Gov Frank Lausche convened 18 of 19 Democratic senators in a closed session to press for actions including sheriff removal authority padlocking of gambling dens and a new FEPC employment fair practices measure while opposing a Guthrie gross sales tax bill and a 50 percent liquor license fee hike. The session followed the Judiciary Committee’s indefinite postponement of the sheriff measure and uncertain fate of the padlock bill. The governor argued for law and order and cautioned that a few county rackets threaten statewide decency. Also noted: Navy Secretary John L. Sullivan resigned over defense policy disputes linked to the 65 000 ton carrier scrapping.
