Senate Queries OnManyTopics Department Answers on State Operations Go to Committee For Study The State Senate developed a querying bent at its first session of the week late yesterday, sending replies of the General State Authority and Secretary of the Commonwealth S. M. R. O'Hara on number of contracts and other details and number of municipal authorities to the Committee on State Government for extended study. The motion was made by Senator Franklin Spencer Edmonds, Montgomery, sponsor of the resolutions a week ago, who said it was the idea to look over the replies and ascertain extent of operations, State, and municipal, as well as costs.

Senator Reed, Washington, presented a resolution asking for information about employes in the Public Assistance system, how many wives are employed and other data, and Senator Shapiro, Philadelphia, opened what he styled the "serious" inquiry into the budget by a resolution directing that the secretaries of assistance and welfare be interrogated by committees on various budget aspects. Both measures were adopted. The Senate passed without dissent the Farrell bill relative to Philadelphia school taxes and adjourned until 11 o'clock this morning. Among announcements was one that the Judiciary General Committee would meet this afternoon to decide what tp do about the Jaspan DiSilvestro resolution to investigate the State Athletic Commission. The subject was not referred to in the session of the Senate, but there was much discussion on the sideline and intimations the proposition would be dropped if it did not go to a public hearing before a sub committee.

State Tradition To Be Upheld Says Martin Citizen Soldiers to Main tain Fine Record Com mander Predicts Adjutant General Edward Martin assured Pennsylvania that her citizen soldiers entering the Federal service "are prepared to maintain the glorious traditions of the Pennsylvania National Guard and the 28th Division." General Martin spoke last nignt over WHP and a State wide net work in his dual capacity as a member of Governor James' cabi net and as the commanding of ficer of the 28th Division, which will be mobilized February 17 for a year's military training at the $10,000,000 Indiantown Gap can tonment. Speaking directly to friends and relatives of guardsmen who will train at the development in near by Lebanon county, General Martin said it consists of more than 1000 buildings.

"This establishment has water, power and sewer facilities for 40,000 men," he went on. "The surrounding ground, called in military terms the terrain, is ex cellent for all kinds of training. When completed it will be one of the finest establishments in one of the finest areas in this country. Some of our people have read reports which have made them feel 11 A I 1 .1 1 1 1 inai ine dislocation oi men irom the civilian life into military life has not been easily accomplished. In the main these reports have been grossly exaggerated.

"It is my sincere belief that this change in Pennsylvania, based on results already achiev ed, will be accomplished efficient ly and without confusion at all. "As the commander of the camp area I want you to know that morale will be kept on a high plane. I assure you, on behalf of the Governor, that the area adjacent to the camp will be maintained at its status quo." As civilians and soldiers, Gen eral Martin said the guard "is second to none" and its officers "are soldiers the finest soldiers that our Commonwealth has to of fer to the National defense. "During the past two years there has been no politics played with Pennsylvania's National Guard, and every man who has attained promotion got there on his own initiative and his own ability. Governor James so or dered it at the very beginning and has in every instance backed my orders to the hilt." EMPLOYES OF THE J.
