Mary Handy $400,000 Is Alloted, To Veterans Groups; Other Actions Taken LANSING, May 15-(AP)-Merger of state and county veterans' assistance agencies was voted by the Senate Wednesday and the bill sent to the House. The measure would combine the state office of veterans' affairs and state veterans' trust fund, advisory board into one state veterans' commission, while the local branches of those two agencies and the county soldier and sailor relief commission would be merged also. The bill appropriates more than $400,000 from the $50,000,000 trust fund income for various veterans organizations. It also permits the trust fund income, created for the benefit of needy World War II veterans, to be used for veterans of previous wars if local appropriations for the latter are exhausted. Legislation making good a previous legislature's promise of to both the University of Michigan and Michigan State college for their construction programs was approved in the Senate and sent to the House.

Meanwhile, however, the House scheduled a vote today on its own excise tax to take the form of a two-cent levy on cigarettes, estimated to raise $12,000,000 for the general fund. The House, after one of the most tangled parliamentary wars in several sessions, killed a two-cent increase in the gasoline tax by a 41 to 51 vote, and defeated moves to put it on the table whence it could be revived. As fast as it passed the tobacco tax by a 18 to 10 vote, the Senate shoved back in committee a doubling of the beer tax and defeated 14 to 16 double-Jointed bill which would have reduced the liquor discounts allowed bars from 15 to 10 per cent and regain for the state the 10 per cent liquor tax paid to local government. The rejected Senate proposals would have raised $14,500,000 in new revenues and were part of a budget-balancing program agreed to by the Republican majority caucus. Senator James T.

Milllken, taxation committee chairman, said either might be revived. He said his committee would send the beer tax bill out on the floor for another try and that the liquor bill might still be passed.

Opponents charged it "doesn't allow a man to reform," while sponsors said it was designed to prevent a recurrence of instances where convicted men sat in the legislature. Reversing a previous defeat, the Senate took from the table and passed a bill increasing the small game hunting license fee from $1.00 to $2.00, the extra dollar to be used for $10 state bounty on red fox.

It would make available more than $670,000 for fox bounties. Also approved in the Senate was a bill permitting "antlerless" deer to be killed by archers between Oct. 1 and Nov. 5 in Ontonagon, Schoolcraft, Mackinaw, Luce, Gogebic, Roscommon, Montgomery, Oscoda, Crawford, Newaygo, Alpena, Benzie, Leelanau, Iosco, Montcalm PK Be Prepared SENATE LEADERS were nonplussed at the anti-tax sentiment in the Senate, while in the House Rep. Elton R.

Eaton, chairman of the House taxation committee, predicted flatly that no taxes would be passed except the cigarette tax. The Senate bill imposes a levy of three cents a package of cigarettes and three-tenths of a cent on each cigar or ounce or less of tobacco. While advancing the cigarette tax bill through debate last night, the House, at the suggestion of Rep. Maurice E. Post, Rockford Republican, struck out a "fair-trades" section which would have set a floor under the price of cigarettes.

The Republican majority contended the section had to much flavor of "new deal price-fixing." problems. In debate, Rep. Andrew Bolt, Grand Rapids Republican advised rural legislators to see to it that the counties "raise their own road taxes if they are in such desperate need." Answering rural statements that a "real emergency exists" on county roads, Rep. Henry T. Gage, Grosse Pointe Republican, replied "There is a taxpayers' emergency here too." Fighting the beer tax.

Senator Joseph A. Brown, Detroit Democrat, urged the Senate to have the "courage" to tax handbooks and "the numbers racket."
