tions when that measure came up
for third reading. He finally had the
Hill mt hack on second reading and
offered amendments to make It read
like his proposed substitute. Minor'S
Leader Sullivan opposed action on tne
amendments until they could be printed
and Mr. Goldingay consented 10 oeier-
ring action until next week.
