tleson said, "The Republicans
do not want to delay any emer-
gency action. These include the
freeways, which you recently
saw and know to constitute a
wreck in the city of Whining

However, we are not yet sure
that the beach work proposed
would take care of the need
and we want to study it further.
We will at the proper time
support a bond bill to provide
for beach restoration work."
Barleson said that by passing
his bill, the General Assembly

Mr.. Wirtz denied any conflict
or confusion between the Labor

Mr.. Fogarty called attention

that the Secretary Of Labor
spent too much time personally
on labor-management negotia-
tons and was assuming some
work Of the agency.
He noted that former Sec
rotary Goldberg, before becom-
ing a Supreme Court justice,
also was active In trying TO
settle several national strikes.
Mr.. Writ reported that "the
situation is one 10 which we
have given a good deal OF at
