Casey Won't Answer Refusal by Ex Congress Member on Ship Deals
Washington March 28 former congressman Joseph E Casey who profitably invested in five surplus tankers from the maritime commission refused to identify fellow participants in the deal before a senate banking subcommittee. He insisted the arrangement was above criticism and argued the panel lacked authority to probe ships transactions though the RCC had no role. The committee, noting possible contempt, debated the issue as Casey recalled the shipment and lease to Standard Oil of New Jersey with profits near two and a half million dollars and a broad ownership group estimated at 430 to 500 shareholders.

Kansas lawmakers near session end with key bills unresolved
Topeka March 28 The Kansas legislature on the final day of its 1951 session faced a 50-50 chance of adjourning at midnight as house and senate clashed on major bills. Conference committees stalled on high school finance workmen’s compensation and merging veteran affairs agencies. A farm extension dispute bill remained dead as opinions differed on separating farm bureaus from extension services and a wheat tax proposal lingered. Major bills including multi million dollar expenditure measures fair employment practices and civil defense awaited action. A vehicle use bill advanced after cross chamber agreement while attempts to exempt cars in investigations failed. The executive council could still decide unmarked state cars used in police work.

City Group Goes to Topeka to Push Sewer Charge Bill
Lawrence representatives including councilmen traveled to Topeka to explore reviving a sewer service charge bill killed twice in the Kansas Senate.

Senator George Melvin noted revival is unlikely after two defeats, while Rep. Lew Henry urged that passage could proceed if lawmakers flip votes.
