He yanked a twin greenback out
of his pocket and showed it to the
conductor.
Take your money-and your jag

conductor as he rang two bells.
Bill jumped OFF. A cop was

by the Senate committee provides
only sixty days for this work.
All changes in exchange rates will
be vigorously opposed by the inde-
