| impression that the bill had passed and
was ready to go to the house to be en-
| crossed.
| But for technical move on the par
Of Chairman Bush, in lifting the record
following passage Of the bill. holding II
| in allegiance pending correction of dis
| crepancies that might have crept into the
hill through clerical errors or other man
ner the bill had been held up.
| This action was made imperative by th'
/ announcement of Senator English, Marion

! in the bill.

/ as to the actual status of the appropria
| lions bill

| ing the finding OF errors in tee printed
! bill, made by clerks, who wrote til,
