Barnes took the floor when It was opened to debate and queried several members backing the bill as to Its Intentions. Proponents of the measure ven tured a guess that the slight talk on the part of a few of the repre sentatives over these measures which provide for the cancellation and remittance of certain taxes to Bsndon was but an Indication of undercurrents revolving around the opposition group to the speaker of the house. Harry Bolvln. These un dercurrents do not seem aimed at the Bandon situation. Representative Roth, Multnomah, said the group felt that when there were 36 amendments to a measure that the bill should be clarified be fore It Is passed In the house.

Two labor measures, announced early In the week, made their ap pearance In the house, one calling for registration of labor unions and the other one to prevent sympathy strikes. Rep. Clarence F. Hyde, Lane county, precipitated the liquor ques tion when he submitted notice to file a minority report after the al coholic control committee had turned down a bill prohibiting the advertising of alcoholic beverages.
