First Dry Forces Victory in Indiana Legislature
Indianapolis January 16 Dry forces won their first victory in the present session of the state legislature. A favorable committee report backed Senator English of Indianapolis to stiffen penalties for drunken driving. The bill would set fines up to 500 and imprisonment for first offense up to six months. House morals committee favored Representative Duncan's bone dry prohibition bill, with action expected today or soon. Senate banking committee approved a measure to codify banking laws, including state power over bank receiverships. Cooperative marketing bill faced amendments to include existing co operatives and broaden scope to allow non stock owners to deal with marketing associations. Utilities plan to limit PSC power will be debated at a public hearing next Wednesday, with bills to restrict direct federal court carry and supervision of stock holdings. Opposition from utility interests grows. Some lawmakers say primary law changes would amount to repeal, with Governor Jackson opposing changes. The two houses held brief sessions for bills and reports, then adjourned until Monday.
