Compromise Defeated as Ohio Legislature Adjourns
In Columbus the administration's appropriations compromise was rejected 9 to 24 by the Senate, forcing Gov. Martin L. Davey to consider a special session within two months. insurgents pushed for a $10,000,000 cut in state expenditures, challenging the no-new-taxes bloc and sparking a dramatic end to the session without a budget. The House passed the minority bill, but Senate action remained essential. A separate bill for additions and betterments of 1937 and 1938 was sent to the governor.
