Gommittees Show No " Haste; Powers in , Plan Opposed- S .Some of :tb Tfind of winter : swept into the statelxoase rriday and cooled the-ardor ot legislators for the four-point legislative pro gram sought from them by Gover nor Martin in the initial bills in troduced thia week in the house. There was no open revolt nor any assurance .that the measures, in due time and - with "ample . amendments, would not be passed, but the committees were taking their time and picking out many flaws. ; ! - ; First measure to each the bouse for a vote Is H. B. I, pro- Tidiug for full budgetary control of all expenses by the governor's office. The bill came out from the committee on administration and reorganisation yesterday .with - a favorable report. Objections to v the measure were raised In com mittee by Representatives Semon and Hill but. they did not make a minority report. The measure is ep on final passage this morning with a group in the house plan- ning an attempt to throw it back to the committee on revision of laws. A - ' ' ' " General iVa-r Bill Appraiaod Clnrefully House BUI No 1, which places . virtually all state moneys in the general fund and prohibits the ex penditure of any funds without a specific legislative appropriation, was mulled over liberally-Friday afternoon in the administration and reorganization committee. W. L. Gosslin, secretary to the gover nor, asked for early action on the bill. i . "The entire purpose-of !the, bill U to put state finances on, a sound basis," Gosslin said. "We would like t h i s bill passed at once. It it doesn't work well in the first 30 days, the legislature will still be in session and 'can amend It." Gosslin ' said , the executive department was aware the mea . sure might raise a "terrible howl" from' the fish and game commis sion but declared he thought the administrative reforms outlined in the bill should be "tried out." . Under H, B. No. 1, all self sustaining departments, with the exception of- the highway commis sion and the industrial accident commission,' would give up their special funds in the treasurer's of fice and would depend entirely a pon legislative appropriations for . their revenues. The committee, unable to come . to any decision, left the ( bill in the hands of a sub - committee . composed of . Representatives La tourette, Eagdahl and, Hamilton. This group was Instructed to ad vise with Gosslin and Estes Snede 'cor, legal adviser to the gover nor, and to report back Monday. Only Advice Sought Under-Planning BUI The third major measure of the Martin administration the state planning commission , proposal was smoothed out "In principle" yesterday - when the sub-commit tee of the ways and means group received positive assurance from Governor' Martin that he sought only advisory reports from the commission and that his "brains' trust" would not be clothed with - mandatory power, thus being en abled to enforce Its dictates, on other state departments. " As a result the sub-committee agreed to rework the planning commission biU entirely, to limit the' grant of power outlined in the original II. B. 2 and to get y the bill prepared for a report td - the house by Tuesday. The sub committee decided that the plan ning commission should be hand e'd the powers of the state recon struction advisory board, r- Meanwhile the fourth admini- . stration bill -the county unit plan slumbered in committee, await ing a pnblia .hearing In the house chambers next Wednesday at 4 p.lm.
