Bitter debates, parliamentary tan
giles, numerous conference committee
reports with appropriation measures

With Is bills still on the calendar
as the members relaxed for two hours
Saturday, prospects for an early ad-
journment faded.
Members chafed under the delay In
clearing up work Of the assembly as
the sessions stretched out nearly ~
hours beyond the scheduled closing
time. Some who had made prepa-
rations to leave for home Saturday
and Sunday were delayed as their
final checks were held up to insure
attendance in the final hours Of the
session.
Debate and pointed accusations
were hurled across the floor as mi
rority members objected to certain
bills with the majority frequently
charging the use Of "dilatory" tactics.
Here and there, too, friction arose
between members Of the majority as
they grew impatient at the delay In

ability Of conference committee
