CALLAHAN JUMPS
CONFERENCE; NOT
TO BE INSTRUCTED
Abides by No Instructions,
Leaves Committee on
Women’s Jury Bill.
When the House this morning
instructed its free conference com
mittee on the women’s jury bill to
return to conference for h specific
amendment. Representative Calla
han asked that he be permitted to
withdraw from the commitee, de
claring that he could not be bound
by instructions. "1 was elected to
this House us an Independent and
am not willing to be instructed as
to my vote on any question by
cither Democrats or Republicans,"
he asserted.
The chances for passage of the
bill are apparently brighter at this
time than ever before. The House
conferees brought in a report recom
mending that the House recede from
its stand on the sex exemption
clause and adopt an amendment
which would permit women to claim
sex exemption provided such claims
were made before the date of ap
pearance in Court.
This amendment. declared Mr.
Forter would result in depleted
panels of petit and grand jurors, in
crease professional Juryism and add
greatly to the expense of the courts.
He suggested that a further amend
ment be made requiring women, de
siring to claim sqx us reason for
exemption, to make such claim 20
days prior to the date tor appear
ance in court. Without taking up
Hhe conference report, the commit
tee was instructed to return to con
ference and propose such an amend
ment.
When the House had so instruct
ed the committee, composed of Mur
ray, Wilson, and Callahan, the lat
ter withdrew and was replaced by
Price. The conference report, made
today, was not concurred in by
Mr. Murray.
