In a statement issued by the State executive director, Ben Davidson, the party called for a Legislature operating the year-round, so that "truly effective attention be given to the many questions that have to be decided." With a unicameral Legislature.

it was said, it would be easier to hold public hearings. session of the Legislature "woefully Mr. on Davidson called the 170th inadequate," listed 17 "basic failures" of the legislative session and condemned four bills vigorously. The four were the Condon-Wadlin anti-strike aimed at public employes, the bill setting up the method of financing the veterans' bonus, the Young-Demo bill, which returned unemployment insurance reserves to business, and the perior merit" provision of the teachers' salary bill. Mr.

Davidson said that some good bills were enacted complimented the Legislature, "for not following the of other States that have passed anti-closed shop and similar types of legislation." Price of Nylons Headed for Drop A drop in the price of nylon stockings after Easter was predicted by trade circles today. While it was pointed out that the supply is increasing, no trade war expected because of "limited productive capacity." It was also predicted that production of nylon hose would drop sharply beginning in May because of a cut in allocations of nylon yarn. Some alarm has been expressed.at $1 a pair prices now existing for 42 guage nylons. However, it was said, this price exists in unbranded and store-brand lines. National brands are selling at the manufacturer's suggested markup.

Dewey has cancelled customary vacation which he has taken in the past before beginning action on the bills. The Governor has 30 days to sign or veto them. 4 Amendments Face Vote The proposed constitutional amendments sent to the voters by the Legislature for final action include the $400,000,000 veterans' bonus question; proposed authorization to the Legislature to fix higher pay for its own members; the splitting of the Brooklyn-Long Island judicial district to permit the establishment of a new Supreme Court district, and the proposal to provide speedier, alternative method of removing incompetent or corrupt judges from office. Two other constitutional proposals would permit the construction of more ski trails in the Catskills and Adirondack mountains and set up absentee voting methods for merchant seamen, Red Cross workers and families of persons absent from their homes at election time. Because of the traditional upstate voters' attitude against sanctioning controversial constitutional amendments, the view has been expressed here that the outcome some of the questions to be submitted is in doubt.

This is considered especially so since New York City itself is slated for no major candidates' election and that, therefore, the city vote which normally helps to put across constitutional amendments will not be at the polls. "su-10-Year Tax Plan for Bonus After giving approval to the bonus amendment's submission to the voters the Republican controlled Legislature put through the Deweyrecommended plan for levying about $42,000,000 in additional taxes annually to pay off the bonus in years. Democrats and veterans themselves warned that the tax plan, slated to become effective in January, 1948, might imperil the bonus. They declared that if it went down to defeat the major responsibility would rest with the Governor and the Republican majority in the Legislature. The issue of carving up the 2d Judicial District of the Supreme Court to create a new 10th District consisting of Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, split the major parties in the Legislature and due fought out at the polls in November.

The existing district consists of five counties, including Brooklyn and Staten Island. Republicans believe that because of the normal G. O. P. vote in Nassau and Suffolk and the heavy Republican trend which has continued in recent years in Queens, the 10th District would be safely Republican.

In the Legislature the Democrats fought hard, abut unsuccessfully, against the O. Walter B. Cooke IN FUNERAL INFORMATION 50 Seventh Ave. MAin 2-8585 Thursday. March 20th McKENZIE, John 1 P.M.
