There are not more than half a
dozen measures that would affect the

to any great extent. aside from appro-
priation bills.
There is likely to be serious split
between the senate and the house on
these measures. however. 1t appears
that the house committee on appro-
priations will recommend certain
items that would increase the budget
materially. and will attempt to cut
down bills the senate will pass.

be retaliation from the upper body,
where various bills are being given
careful consideration. based on inves-
legations by the budget board into the
