Hints: 'Available for GOP Veep Nod' INDL4.NAPOLIS Governor Handley hinted today that he was available as a Republican vice presidential candidate in I960 but said he has no intention of advancing his chances by running as a "favorite son" candidate in the Indiana presidential prefer ence primary. Handley, sun-tanned and jovial after two weeks at the Governors' Conference in Puerto Rico, told a news conference that Vice President Richard M. Nixon is the only man in either political party with enough "trair.ir.g" to take over the presidency. Handley, who was one of three governors coming out in full support of Nixon at the conference, said he would not actively seek the second spot on the GOP national ticket. But he did not rule out the possibility that he would accept the nomination if it were offered.

Friday is the vigil before the Feast of the Assumption. The Assumption is celebrated on August 15 each year. When a Feast falls so close to a Friday the Pope, if he so desires, can exempt Catholics from their regular weekly abstinence.

The apportionments would be $2,000,000,000 and $2,200,000,000, respectively, in the following two years. Under present law, the apportionments would be $2,200,000,000 for each year. Near Showdown On Labor Bill WASHINGTON (UPI)-Key Republicans said today they may try to water down tile tougher of the two House labor reform bills in an llth hour attempt to pick up votes of wavering GOP members.

This strategy was being considered as the House nsared a showdown between the conservative- backed bill, endorsed by President Eisenhower, and a milder measure backed by the Democratic leadership. Although spokesmen for each camp cautiously predicted victory for their measure, they conceded that the race was so close it could be decided by a margin of five votes or less.
