Paternity Issue May Be Decided
In Pittsburgh on April 30 a paternity dispute between Margaret Steiner of Homestead and Kenneth H. Sampson of Evie Pa may hinge on blood tests. Two judges sit en banc to decide whether the four month old infant must submit to testing despite Sampson's denial.

The court will determine paternity once blood results for mother, child, and Sampson are examined for A A A or A A B patterns and possible continuance or dismissal of the suit follows.

Taxpayer relief and constitutional reform bills advance
The House advanced measures to curb municipal debt with a constitutional borrowing cap of 50 million dollars and a taxpayer suit if violated. A September referendum would decide a constitutional convention, with delegates elected in November and a potential new constitution to take effect in 1936 or 1937. A separate Huffman Rankin tax relief bill would give five years to pay delinquent taxes with 20 percent installments and abate interest, except Philadelphia.
