 The rule permitted the tying of no strings to the $4.8O0, ,000,0 900 fund The strategy was to make this an examp,e-that under no circumstances would the House tol- crate any "wild' action on any part of the Administration pro- gram for recovery and reform.
 Insiders say O'Connor and his advisers acted too hastily. The pre- ponderant Democratic majority in the House has forced a9reorganiza- tion of committees and rules got it's share of newcomers. It was the Democratic newcomers plus the Re- pu5licans on the committee who "gummed up" the show. T
 Their protests forced Chairman O'Connor and the leadership of the House 10 delay their program. It was only momentary delay, but sufficient not only to upset care- fully laid plans of strategy, but also to cause everyone to see the handwriting on the wall. ss
