COM ENSAT ION
LAW DELAYED

The long fight between Represen-
tatives Roy G. Fitzgerald of Ohio,
and Charles l.. Underhill of Massa-
chusetts, over rival forms of en-
ployes compensation legislation for
the District, broke out again today
in the House.
Representative Underhill, as chair
man of the subcommittee on insur-
ar1ee of the House District Com
mittee, today held a meeting of his
committee in executive session with
the hope of reporting his bill. Re-
preventative Fitzgerald, although no
longer a member of the District
Committee. appeared before the
subcommittee and succeeded in
blocking this program.
Representative Fitzgerald induced
new members of the subcommittee
to order reprinting of the ex-
haustive hearings held on the rival
bills in the last Congress.
Printing Of the hearings and their
consideration by the new members
probably will take at least two
weeks and no further action on the
bills is expected until about
March /.
