Ml by Moil Sizes 38 to 42 Seen Delaying Pari-Mutuels Governor Believes Commission Revision Is 'Patronage Grab' Albany, March 22 (U.R) Governor Lehman's opposition threatened to delay passage of the amended Dunnigan bill legalizing parl- mutuels, outlawing bookmakers and expanding the racing commission to a four-man, bi-partisan body, Lehman feels that revision of the present three-member racing commission, established in 1934, was unnecessary and constituted a "patronage grab." He was expected to exert Influence against the change in the commission while the bill is being debated.

He could not veto it after passage without risking loss of revenue on which he has counted In the State 1940-41 budget. The commission members are paid only their expenses. They have broad powers over race tracks and meetings. Chairman Herbert Bayard Swope and John Sloan, Democrats, and John Hay Whitney, Republican, are members. BOOKIES TO PRESS FIGHT If the Dunnigan bill, amended in the Senate Finance Committee, is enacted, a fourth commissioner will be appointed.

Under the bipartisan provision he must be a Republican. Forces supporting legalization of bookmakers to take bets of more than $100 served notice they would carry their fight to the floor. Ma jority leaders, however, said they would be defeated. Legal experts contend any provision for licensing bookmakers might invalidate the entire pari- mutuel law, since the 1939 consti tutional amendment authorizing the betting machines did not otherwise affect the constitutional prohibi tion against gambling. The Senate will not vote on the measure until Tuesday.

No sessions were conducted today because of Good Friday.
