brought up in the house this mo n
ing, a warm debate was started. Aft
er many had spoken on the measlra

clause on the bill and deferred action
until January 81.
Upon being asked, Tscharncr intro
duced Richards primary law in the
lower house. The bill has been circu-

mora'izing congress to select New Or
