for. two purposes:
(A) To Inalat
that certain prin

see that some
one like Senator
PAUL MALLON
Borah does not get the nmlna"n
. The big boys seem to feel certain
that this is the situation because
It fits In wltn wnar, u,

possibilities for their own torm
tlon. They are convinced that. If ne
coea Into market for southern dele
gates (who come high these days),
nl. maximum possible strength at
the convention would be 300 dele
states. If he does not enter that ex
pensive market, he will be far weaker.
In either svent, he can be a fac
tor, but not a nominee.
Somo of the delegations to the
convzntlon are already as good as

adjustment act measure to re
place the one which the state
supreme court recently declared
unconstitutional, was announced
here today. The proposal- cor
recting the points to which the
supreme court objected nil) be
brought Into the house as an
emergency bill.
SALEM, Ore., Oct. 38. OP) A bill
calling for repeal of the parl-mutuel
racing act, and another classified as
a revised grange power bill, were ln
trodued In the senate and house of
the Oregon legislature respectively
here today at the initial meeting of
the second week of the extraordinary

new bills were Introduced. Immedia
tely afterwards the important capltol
reconstruction committees and the
waya and means committee went Into
session to continue work on the three
capltol and site bills and the several
appropriation measures now before
the legislature.
Bill Grist Cut
Pressure being brought to bear
against Introduction of unnecessary
legislation has resulted tn elimina
tion of many of the proposed social
security bills, it was authoritatively
learned here today. The sponsors of
the program , to make Oregon laws
conform to the national acta state
there was a possibility of only two
bills being Introduced. The Initial
plans called for seven measures. '
Since much of the eosial security
acta can remain over for the regular
aeaslon of 1937, the one main pro
posal to make the state laws comply
with the 95-year age provision In the
old age pension bill will be the only
one to be pushed by sponsors.
Pin Hoards Also lilt
Senator Delmore Lessard of Port
land introduced the anti-gambling
and repeal of the parl-mutuel pro
posal. His bill calls for outright re
peal of the horse and dog races as
well as prohibiting all forms of gamb
ling and pin boards.
Senator Lessard'e proposal, will fol
low closely the suggestions made by
I. A, LHJoqvlst, special prosecutor of
gambling conditions In Multnomah
county. LilJeqvist had declared all
forma of gambling could be checked
If the dog and horse racing acts were
repealed.
The state now reoelvea two and a
half per cent from the pari-mutuel
racing meets while the promoters are
allowed 10 per cent. To date the ewue
haa received about $325,000 from
gambling at dog and horse racea,
which ahowa that more than $12,000.
000 haa been wagered In races the
past two years. . -
May Drop First Rill
The grange power bill. Introduced
by the committee on public utilities
of the house. Is similar to the in Ma
uve measure for which a ballot title
was lasued today. Should the bill pass
in the legislature and be referred to
the people aa provided, the grange
leaders announced they would drop
the campaign to put the Initiative
