Asked Watson Advice, He has asked Watson Senator and the eight James E. members of | the Indiana congressional delegation at Washington for advice. At the same time he ia calling into con- ference party leaders, editors of re. publican newspapers and members of the state legislature. The governor insists that he will not resign and there is every indlca- tion that he will fight to the last to retain his office. Others who are anxious to see the governor ousted see & gleam of hope in the congressional reapportionment bill, expected to be introduced in Washington. If that bill is the ame as a previous measure and is passed, it would cut Indiana’s con- gressional representation from thir- teen to twelve and would necessitate a session of the assembly to redistrict the stat If that is done, Gov. McCray would be obliged to call a special session, but in doing so he could exercise his constitutional right and limit the assembly to consideration of reap- portionment alone. The legislature therefore find ftself in a situation identical with that of a New York legislature and would have to reconvene itself as a court of impeachment if it was felt necessary to proceed wgainst the governor. Senator Walter 8. Chambers, demo- cratic state chalrman, has somewhat dampened the ardor of those repub- lcans who would llke to see the governor impeached. He opposes callling the legislature in any other but a legal way and asserts that he would call the democratic members together to decide whether they would participate in an impeachment session. Democratic votes would be necessary to impeach Gov. McCray, {as the republicans have only a bare majority In each house. Democratic leaders take the position that this is a republican quarrel and they are not taking kindly to impeachment talk. HAROLD C. FEIGHTNER.

(D, G, OVERTIME WORK CITED BY RUDOLPH The fact that many emploves of the District government work long periods overtime in the course of a vear was cited yesterday by Com- missioner Rudolph as convincing evidence of the need for increased salaries and for additional help in some departments The matter was brought forcefully to the attention of the Commissioner by a report from Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, city auditor, that the clerks in his office worked' a total of 481 hours of overtime during November, for which they do not recelve ad- ditional pay. Commissioner Rudolph pointed out that the clerical forces of the tax and assessment offices also find it necessary to work after hours at various times of the year in order to keep the recgrds up-to-date. It is probable that from now on some record of the amount of over- time will be kept, to be used when- ever the opportunity presents Itself to obtain more clerks and better re- muneration for the city departments. Ma). Donovan said it was impossible for his present number of employes to keep the work of the auditor's office up-to-date within regular working hours. Not only does the office audit the affairs of the city, but it performs & score of other related duties. WHEN YOU NEED A KEY You need our instant dupli- cating service.
