Erich A.

O'D. Taylor, member of the memorial commission and a former state representative, was in Providence Tuesday afternoon with James L. Mahcr, chairman of the Democratic city committee. Both were reported favoring the measure introduced by Representative John H. McGann.

Newport Democrat, which seeks passage without a referendum. Newport's Democratic state senator, Florence K. Murray, who insisted on the referendum clause to the bill which has passed the senate, said the latest effort is "a silent sabotaging of a bill, in the hope that the house version without the referendum provision, will pass at the last minute." Commenting on his presence at the capitol, Taylor said, that he and Maher were there "to determine the best way to secure the park promptly." He said they wanted to' see the McGann bill, without referendum, a "quickly and reasonably." "The World War 2 Memorial Park was part of the Democratic platform last fall," said Taylor. "There was no mention of a referendum feature then. The proposal has been endorsed by two successive Representative Councils, one controlled by Republicans and the other by Democrats.

Senator Murray's own husband is chairman of the present council that has ap- proved'it, 19 to Senator Murray said the matter of referendum had never been voted upon by either council. The vote last year, she said, was on acceptance of the commission's report. The vote this year, she added, was on rccision. Paul F. Murray; council chairman, said the council had never considered the matter of referendum.

Explaining her reason for having a referendum clause added in the senate, Mrs. Murray said it was "because of the amount of money involved and the apparent controversy, it seemed souftd to me that the decision be left to the taxpayers who will ultimately pay for tlie park." Senator Murray said she understood Taylor and Mahcr sought to interest Governor Roberts in passage of the measure without referendum. Mahcr said he had no thought of seeing the governor, but had accompanied Taylor to determine what chance the McGann bill had'of passage. Mosaic Club Cautioned On Children TV Slaves Albert J.
