The measure already has passed the House, but must go back to that body for concurrence in Senate amendments. Passage of the bill carries out a Democratic platform pledge. Indiana, since 1925, has had what has been generally declared to be one of the strictestaState prohibition statutes in the United States. Gov. Paul V. McNutt, a week ago, predicted that the Indiana law would be repealed. The measure cannot reach the Governor's desk until to- morrow and possibly not before Mon- day. After he signs the bill, members of the Legislature say that the State dry law no longer will be effective, since the new law becomes operative immediately insofar as the repeal provisions are concerned. Applause came from the gallery when announcement of the vote was made. Welfare Work , Discussed By Finance Group No Positive Action Will Be, Taken On Charity Work During Banking Holiday The finance committee of the Com- mon Council, meeting yesterday aft- ernoon to discuss what measures should be taken to continue welfare work during the extended banking "holiday," decided to take no posi-a tive action until the situation wasE somewhat clarified. The committee' was hopeful that the banks would be able to open on a better than 5 per1 cent basis in a short time.! As the matter nw stands, the city is able to use of its total deposit forr relief work, only 5 per cent. This will be sufficient to. carry those de- pendent upon the money for a short time, at least, the committee believes. All checks written to city employes during the first eight days of the "holiday" are now coming back to the city treasury and new ones,i drawn on the recently created "trust funds," are being signed in their place. It is not believed that 5 per cent of the city's total deposits wills cover all these checks, but those in charge of the city's finances antici- i pate that there will be some change in the situation shortly. Whitney To Testify In Market Investigation WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-- (/ - Richard Whitney, president and out- spoken' defender of the New York stock exchange, today awaited hisr turn to testify in the senate investi- gation of National City bank market transactions. Why he was called before the bank- ing committee was not explained by Chairman Norbeck. He has been un- der subpena since last year followinga extended testimony in April. c The committee received informa- tion Thursday that the National City Co. undertook to control the market in stock of its parent, National CityI bank, and at times was selling shorti in that stock. Notes Regents Hear Relief Demand Of Delegation Board's Meeting Invaded By Student Agitators; Relief Clause Saubbed. Marching to the old Law Bilding as a protesting unit, a delegation of five students yesterday afternoon in- terrupted the Board of Regents' meeting to present to that body two "demands" for the betterment of conditions among needy students of the University. The delegation hadl been picked a few minutes beforel from a mass meeting on the Library steps. The first "demand," calling for a moratorium on student tuition note payments until Oct. 1 of this year,1 was termed by the regents as prac- tically identical with their own pol- icy. The second, demanding funds for student relief, was flatly refused. Moratorium Ideas Alike " Herbert G. Watkins, assistant sec-l retary of the University,' said thatx the moratorium "demand" as spon- sored by the delegation, might have been copied from a reent report of the regents. He announced that the regents would deal individually with student debtors, and those debtors who were "all right" scholastically would be granted a virtual morator- ium until October. Regent James O. Murfin's 'comment was that the dele- gation "would have done better to use 'ask' instead of 'demand.' " The delegation's second "demand," that relative to student relief, was termed "unreasonable" by the re- gents, who added that "thought and consideration" were necessary beforel action along those lines could be con- sidered. Suggestions proffered by the delegation to raise relief funds were as follows: Fund Suggestions 1. That all salaries on the Univer- sity pay-roll of over $7,500 be im- mediately cut to that figure, the re-l sultant saving to be used for relief. 2. That 50 per cent of the athletic fund be appropriated for needy stu- dents.l 3. That an additional tax be levied by the Legislature on higher incomes in order to provide additional relief.1 The "demands" presented to the regents climaxed relief agitation by a Committee for Student Relief, formed Wednesday night at a meet- ing in the Union. The Committee claims the support in their projectc of campus Church Groups, the Co- operatives, the Michigan Socialist Club, the National Student League, certain undisclosed members of the faculty, fraternities, and Independ- ents. PERSONALITY HINT MARSHALL COLLEGE, Feb. 24.- "A girl covers up three-quarters ofl her personality when she wears a coat," says the head of the public speaking department of Marshall1 College.

Additional Gifts Other gifts accepted by the regents were $2,500 from the Upjohn Com- pany of Kalamazoo to be used be- tween now and June 30, 1934, for research in the pharmacy college on preparation of mercury antiseptics under the direction of Dr. F. - F.

Voting by nominal roll call, the Assembly piled up 42 voices to support the grave indictment of Japan contained in a report on the the Manchurian situation drawn up by a special committee. Delegates and spectators evidenced a state of high nervous tension at the conclusion of Matsuoka's address. His peroration was: "I beg you to realize the facts and see the vision of the future, to deal with us on our terms and give us Your confidence," The mass walkout of the Japanese delegation passed without demon- stration. Many delegates and spec- tators sceemed surpr~ised at the 'un- announced withdrawal of the Tokio representatives from the meeting. Formal Break is Forecast Mr. Matsuoka's farewell statement contained no expressed threat of complete break with the League, but his delegation's gesture generally was interpreted in Gncva as a prelimin- ary to giving notice of resignation from League membership in the ne t few weeks or months.

Ratification To Be Fouorht By Michigan Drvs State Allied Forces ,For Prohibition Aroused By Possibility Of Repeal LANSING, Feb. 24.-(P)-Michigan dry forces today laid plans to fight the ratification of the prohibition re- peal amendment in this state. Representatives of the Allied Forces of Prohibition for Michigan, some- what aroused over the possibility of action on a ratification convention at the April election, met here and call- ed a rally of their workers to meet here March 14. Resolutions were adopted opposing the Heidkamp bill proposing a ratification convention. Committees were appointed to draft a program for the forthcoming pro- I hibition meeting and a temporary or- ganization was named. Former lieutenant Gov. Luren D. Dickinson, of Charlotte, was named temporary chairman. Other officers chosen were: vice-chairman, Judge . J. Millinrton. of Cclillnc: sonre- able for withdrawal.

Formation of the two new, entirely liquid banks would tend to improve banking conditions throughout the state, bankers here believe, and would hasten solution of the existing cur- rency problem. Under plans being worked out, large deposits in the two banks would furnish the initial capital to launch the two new banks in business. A. G. Awalt, comptroller of the currency at Washington has designed the con- dition under'which such a plan would be approved by his department, and lawyers for both banking groups worked throughout the day putting the proposed set-up in shape to meet is requirements.
