"DARTY" BILL 15 DEAD ONE The af! ternoon se: started off with the death of House bill 94, which would reduce the num- ber of years a party candidate for office must have voted that party's ticket. * At present the law reads a filing candidate must swear he has voted the party on, for at least four years. The de- sire of the bill's proponents was to change that clause to two ars. The meaure failed by an eleven to five vote. Another measure killed, was House bill 97, introduced by Representative Gordon, by request, asking appropri- ation of $5M0 for transportation of prisoners called to court and for whom a grand jury returns not true bills, The problem was considered a Federal problem rather than a Ter- ritorial problem, and died with ten votes against it House bill 96 was passed unani- mously, providing a scale of aids for dependent children.
