Rep. Fernandez made a fierce appeal
to the grand stand when he was told
that his bill for abolishing arrest for
leprosy was still before the Reference
Committee. He accused the committee
of trying to hold his bill back.
! Rep. Smith met the attack calmly by
explaining that his committee had not
considered the subject matter of the
| bill but only the form of it. There
We're half dozen bills of a similar
kind before the committee and the Ref
enence Committee merely wanted to get
a bill in proper form. If Rep. Fernan-
deZ would appear before the committee
and assist it, he thought that a bill
might be reported and printed by to-
