USUAL SCRAMBLE FOR EXTRA PAY FEATURES LEGISLATIVE SESSION RITZ THEATRE Columbia, April 18.—Extra session pay for South Carolina’s 170 legis lators apparently headed toward a free conference committee today as the general assembly pushed its plan to place the state democratic party beyond U. S. Supreme court juris diction. A liberal house compensation schedule of $25 a day for the ex traordinary session was overwhelm ingly rejected by a “work for travel expenses only” senate after Senat-r Paul Quattlebaum of Horry told the upper house he didn’t “feel that the general assembly should take the position of gold diggers.” The senate also rejected a pro posal that $10,000 be provided to prolong for another year the state planning board which received no appropriation by the legislature, and house and senate judiciary committ ees gave the statute books a final microscopic examination of refer ences to primary elections that might provide negroes seeking the democratic primary vote grounds for court action. Meanwhile the senate passed and sent to the house 17 bills and gave second reading approval to 75 hftuse-apprved measures repealing code sections dealing with primar ies while the house igave selond reading to 64 senate bills and sent two to tre upper chamber for action. Tornado-stricken property owners in several counties would be reliev ed of 1944 taxes in proportion to their losses by a concurrent resolu tion approved by both houses. The house received frou the sen ate a bill repealing the soldier vote bill of the regular session and cre ating a new act to provide for a method of applying for registration by members of the armed forces, merchant marine, red cross and unit ed service organizations. By a roll call vote, 29 to 7, the senate rejested both the house-ap proved $25 a day for each legislator and its own finance committee’s pro posal to pay members $10 a day plus mileage and stationery. Senator Edgar A. Brown of Barn well, Usance committee chairman, told members the action was almost certain to send the expense bill up for second reading, into free con ference. However, he added he fav ored serving without compensation, and, freeing finance committee mem bers from their recommendation, he joined' the majority and voted against the committee amendment.
