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.

Weekly drills of 1 1-2 hours are held on Monday of each
week at the Federal Armory. It is expected that a sum
mer encampment will be held in July at Fort Jackson that
will last about one week.
Since the Company was activated approximately two hun
dred men who obtained military instruction have been
inducted into the Armed Services, and letters from some
of these men have stated that the training that they ob
tained while a member of the Company was valuable to
them after they entered the army or navy.
This large turnover of personnel has caused the company
strength to fluctuate and at this time the company is
short 22 enlisted men to bring it up to company strength.
The public is cordially invited to attend the regular com
pany drill on Monday evening, April 24th from 8:00 to
9:30 P. M. The officers and men bid you welcome and
will welcome applications for membership in the com-
pany from any who are eligible to join. The age limits
are 18 to 55, with men 17 years old who obtain permis
sion of their parents. The physical requirements are not as
severe as the regular Armed Services,
