Women Here Back
 Jury Service Bill
Arguments Scheduled Friday, March A Before the
 Judiciary Committee

The jury service bill is one of the pet measures of the League of Women Voters. It was turned down two years ago by the Leg islature following a lengthy hear ing before the judiciary committee.
 While it is impossible to ascer- tain at this time what the feeling is on the bill, because no hearing has taken place, it is heard in- formally about the Capitol that the measure is not looked upon fa- vorably by the legislators as a whole.
 Because of the belief that the hearing will be largely attended by the proponents of the bill, the judiciary committee has assigned the measure for hearing singly No other bill will be heard on the 24th

 OFFICE BILL IN
 TALK MARATHON
So an Easy Gag Rule Was Adopted - But the Bill Does Not Advance

Washington, Feb 1.-(UP)- Senators submitted today to an cas- ily-evaded gag rule in protest against five days talk on the pend- ing post office appropria- ton bill. The talk-fest culmlnated yesterday in five hours and 8 min utes of oratory devoted to almost everything except the $961,000, 900 supply bill. Given the choice of self-control or night sessions, the senate chose by unanimous consent to limit each member henceforth to 15 minutes debate on each amendment and 15 minutes on the bill itself.
 The oratorical field day ending In that agreement did not advance the bill toward enactment or re- duce the burden it will lay on the taxpayers. Instead it will cost the taxpayers approximately $3,000 to print in the Congressional Record the words uttered in delay of the bill and It's economy act rider. Sem ator Lewis, democrat, I'll. Hatfield, republican, W. Va, and Davis, re- publican, Pa, were the most con- sistent orators.
