Brake And Munshaw Split
Over Restrictions For
Branch Banking

Lansing, Mar. 10-UP - Two
stern tests of the Republican senate
strength doomed on the weeks cal
endar as the legislature reconvened
today.
Developments Of the past week,
which saw spnt between Speaker
Pro TEN d. Hale Brake and the
Republican floor leader, Earl w.
Munshaw, over the branch banking
restrictions, held the possibility CT
being carried over to argument on
other issues that have split parti-
san ranks.
One was the senate reaction 10
the anticipated veto OF the Bishop
tourist advertising bill, which Will
require full COP. strength to pass
If Governor Van Wagner sends it
back unsigned. The other was
the oft-mentional Post bill 70

Both houses of legislature passed
the tourist appropriation bill with
out regard for the governors re-
quest for a $4,000 ALLEGATION. for
distribution of the funds. Governor
Van Wagner claimed that legisla-
tive floor leaders had assured him
OF its inclusion. and threatened to
veto the measure. The strong
COP. house ma jority would over
ride such a veto with ease, but
the senate strength constantly
faces a possible bolt of Republican
members to the 10-member dem J.
cratic bloc.
The post bill was due for record
vote in the senate this week, after
having been postponed by Republi.
cans who found split in their
ranks threatening its passage.
