House action on the senate bill which would freeze government ever-normal granary stocks except at prices equivalent to cr better than parity is expected next week. Release of government grain the past few-months has been an important market factor. Wheat dipped about 2 cent at one time but closed unchanged to 14 lower compared with Friday's, May S1.29'"s 4.

The group has until July 3 to obtain signatures of 203.007 quali fied and registered voters on petitions which would force a referendum on the proposed constitutional amendment. John Reid. secretary of the Michigan Federation Labor and one of the incorporators said the council would propose an amendment to retain the present 32 member limit on seats in the senate, although they would be redistricted. the number of seats in the hous, now 100, would be made variable, however.

Reid said the number might range anywhere from 100 to 108 on present population basis. The clause which guarantees minimum representation to counties having small population would be retained. The city of Detroit would be divided into representative districts, under his proposal. It now elects 17 represenatives at large. Wayne.

Sabotage Suspected In $25,000 Nevada Defense Plant Fire Las Vegas, March 7 AP Wind-whipped flames destroyed the S25.000 administration building of the Basic Magnesium Plant. Friday night. The 563.000,000 project, financed by the Defense Plant corporation, is scheduled to begin producing magnesium for warplane factories about June 1. Lawrence G. McNeil, head of McNeil Construction company, the contractors, said he suspected sabotage because the flames started in a corner where wind would whip them through the structure.

He did not say whether engineers' plans and blueprints were saved. An acquaintance said they would be the chief object of sabotage in the administration building. The latter added that because designers were racing to keep ahead of construction, he doubted whether duplicates had been prepared. The first magnesium processing building is scheduled to be ready for production in late May. Five thousand men are employed in construction work.

Other buildings were not damaged and no one was injured. The loss included engineering equipment and office equipment of the contractors and the Basic Magnesium Plant, Inc. The S63.000.000 plant is being financed by the defense plant corporation, a government agency, and had been under construction since last fall. McNeil said the building, to be used in the manufacture of magnesium, a substitute for aluminum in the aircraft industry, would be reconstructed immediately. Crews working on other buildings of the plant fought the flames unsuccessfully.

The area has been under close guard by employes of the contractor during construction. 3 Burn To Death In New York Blaze New York.
