MURRAY PLANS ARE WORKING OUT IN SESSION ACTION What Senate Will Do To Income Tax Bill Now Is Big Question To Administration Men. The time 'is ripe for a three-way showdown by definite action on maior legislative proposals before the fourteenth legislature, which this week will complete about onethird of the session. That showdown will be participated in by the state senate, the house- of representatives and the governor.

The economy bills, the next income tax bill and the proposed new highway law will bring it about. Virtually all factions are agreed on drastic cconomy in government so speedy action can be expected on appronriations bills, for the most part, unless the senate holds up tre institutional appropriations bill. Fund Bill Delay Seen. The senate Thursday probably will pass the departmental bill and send it to the house. But the institutional bill may rest for several weeks in the committee, pending action on other measures.

The net income tax bill reached the senate Wednesday and will be read the second time Thursday, referred to the committee on revenue and taxation. Many question arise in minds of political observers over the status of the two bills and the ultimate outcome. Passage of the income tax bill. as it is written, in the 'senate would be a signal victory; for Governor Murray. Passage of i it with the emergency clause at-' tached would be a sweeping victory.

Defeat of it. or changes in it. would be a solar material plexus blow to his program. Eufaula Debate Team Meets Wewoka Today The affirmative debate team of Eufaula high school debates Wewoke. here this afternoon at 2 o'- clock in a non-decision debate.
