The measure, Senate Bill No. 22, |had been displaced from its spot [al the top of the calendar earlier lin the day, but when opposing fac- |tions clashed over Senate Bill No. , the Audits of Accounts Act, ad- journment was taken to close the morning session, rdther than the usual noon recess. When the Senate was called back to order at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, a com- plete new order of business con- fronted the solons, and the Refer- endum Bill received action when ts new turn came. There was no discussion preceding the vote. The Audits Bill was continued again, in second reading, to permit {the Senators to resolve themselves into a Committee of the Whole for hearing on the Income Tax Bill. Action during the morning Senate session . yesterday . was _ devoted mainly to No. 14,!with Tenltorh;l Treasurer Oscar G.

On the other side, it was contended that under the present ‘condmons the Legislature is unable to obtain audit reports on the several Territorial offices in time to be of use to the members. Senator Leo W. Rogge, author of the measure, declared: The pur- pose of the bill is to get a full audit of the Territory’s business before each Legislature within 10 days after it convenes. “Are we to go on forever without an audit?” he asked. “It is not more than right that we should have one.” Vote on the motion to indefinitely | postpone the bill showed only Sen- ator Prank Gordon favoring such action. Proposed Change | Just before adjournment was taken, Senator N. R. Walker had re-proposed the amendment which he had put, then withdrawn, when the bil was first up for |tions; in substance: To set the | Territory back to the old 1933 law, taking the audit out of the Gover- {nor’s office and handing it over to |the Territorial Auditor, but requir- |ing an audit of Territorial Insti- tutions only, excluding other of- fic The Walker amendment was ruled *“out of order” by Senate resident Edward D.

Afternoon Session At the opening of the afternoon ssion, the Engrossing Committee lnnded out as correct two measures on which the Senate had already put its approval, the Liquor Excise measure, Senate Bill No. 24, and House Joint Resolution No. 2, for printing appropriations. The Judiciary Committee unani- mously said “do not pass” to House Bill No. 39, relating to the remis- sion or suspension of judgements of justice courts on pleas of guilty.

PARLIAMENT - STEWS OVER POLE PLANS LONDON, Feb. 22.—British Prime Minister Winston Churchill said to- | day the Government will demand a Parliamentary vote of confidence on the joint policy agreed upon by the | Big Three at the Crimean Confer- ence. Particular emphasis, Churchill said, will be placed on “unity of action” in peace as well as war. Leaders of Commons Anthony Eden set down the Government's motion to debate next Tuesday and | Wednesday even as the parliament- ary lobby buzzed with reports of ’ possible revolt among some members of Churchil’s own Conservative Par- ty over the Polish question. The Conservative bloc, which over the Polish question is known to be undecided as just how to attack without giving the impression repudiating the entire Crimean de- claration.
