Columbia, May 12.—With the adop tion by the house of the free confer ence report on the social security bill and the introduction last night of the free conference report on the general appropriation measure, sine die ad journment this week loomed as a strong possibility. Columbia, May 6.—A deadlock be tween house and senate free conferees on the appropriation bill appeared in open and the house .picked flaws in the free conference report on Social Security as the 17th week of the gen eral assembly came to an ineffectual close. Possibility of sine die adjournment dwindled into the indeterminate future as these two pivotal measures snag ged on complications. Early in the week both houses and senate conferees on the money bill reported to their respective houses that the situation looked black with apparently no chance of agreement. The conferees, they said, could not agree on the question of exten sion of the State-aid school term from seven to eight months, in creased teachers’ salaries on either a flat or graduated scale or new revenue. All disclaimed credit for the delay. The free conference report on So cial Security, carrying an annual State appropriation of $1,519,990 and providing—with federal and county contributions—almost $34)00,000 for relief, sped easily through the senate, where members approved it unani mously after a brief examination. House's Side. Richland, and Wheeler, of Dillon, a group of reproaantattroa prepared to fight for the alteration when debate is returned Tuesday. Gov. Olin D. Johnston's veto of a bill which its author said was aimed at eliminating the ‘'numbers racket" and the senate’s subsequent overrid ing of the veto added tense momenta to the week’s activities. The bill, which would raise the specified gambling from a misdemean or to a felony with manditory impris onment, was vetoed ,by the governor because of “ambiguity." The measure, he said, was so far- reaching as to make persons engaged in everyday activities liable for prose cutigp. Brown Answers. In the house, however, members cried out against a provision which would give the senators the whip- hand in appointment of county ad ministrative boards. The senators, dissatisfied house members said, should take responsi bility of recommending the county groups outright or share it equally with the house members on the delega tions. Led by Representatives Adams, of Senator Edgar Brown, of Barnwell, author of the bill, answered with a scathing attack on the governor, term ing his veto “gross stupidity." The senate overrode the veto 33 to 0. Galled by the attack, Johnston, re turned to the fray to “challenge you or anyone else to prove that I have ever been guilty of corruption in of fice." With that background the house settled down to exhaustive debate on the question. Two days it was argued, with warm supporters of the governor and those who sought to ignore his disapproval sharing the time, but each day adjournment came before a vote was reached. Along with Social Security further veto arguments were made a special order for Tuesday. For the second time In the 1937 ses sion the 17th week began with a Mon day night session as members sought to hasten the procedure toward sine die adjournment. Senate Reverses. The senate reversed itself, however, and planned not to return to work un til Tuesday night. The house will re sume Tuesday noon as usual. Strife over $200 extra pay for mem bers for “official expenses” faded in to eclipse when the extra pay item, along with other proposed deficiency appropriations for 1930-37, was placed in'the hands of a free conference com mittee. Both houses adopted a free confer ence report on a bill to allow the commissioner of labor to arbitrate in dustrial disputes. But an unbreakable deadlock appeared in the conference on a forty-boor bill for textile work- — The house instructed its conferees to hold out for a forty-hour regula tion and the senate refused to give in on its desire for a forty-eight-hour limitation. v Student Is Honored.
