has divided the Senate Demo-
cratic membership, a group Of Sem
ators went into caucus.
Following the meeting it was said
they discussed only the equitable
division of gasoline tax revenue.

openly charged that the unexpected
adjournment of the Senate yester-
day was a part Of the strategy OF
the Governors supporters to block
consideration of the Albright direct
primary law.
Senator Jacob Weiss ID. Indian
