from Congress.
The sum of 81 800 was appropriated
last year TO conduct these lectures. and
q bill was recently introduced in the
Senate to increase the amount to $1,000
The latter bill is now in the Senate Dis

street. against Jerry Stapleton, accus-
ing him of stealing $3.50 from her

Therefore Stapleton was let go. while
