 State Capitol, Hartford, May 20-- Both the Senate and House recessed after converting this morning 50 that members might caucus on pending legislation. Tn the House the delay was occasioned by the de- mand of various Republican leaders that the controversial birth control bill be kept in committee and not be allowed to precipitate Q floor fight.
 The Democrat learned that both House Speaker Hugh M. Alcorn, jr, and Majority Leader William L.. Hadden favored lack of definite ac- ton on birth control legislation and 1t was stated that even If the sub- stitute bill were reported out to- day an effort would be made imme- diately to table 1t. As this is 8 non- debatable motion 1t would have the same effect of curbing the bill ef- fectively for the remainder of the session.
 Substitute Bill
 However, the House Public Health and Safety Committee has already voted @ favorable report on the sub- stitute birth control bill which would let physicians prescribe birth con- trol advice for married couples.
