proved by the House.

havve on unemployment, wage scales
and consumption of the product.
This section was eliminated by arr
8 to 6 vote on motion of Senator Mc-

culture committee, but Chairman
Pmith did not immediately give out

Not as much of a fight developed
over the. eight (months school term
provision as had been evpected by
some, and the amendment was adopt,

reason for this was that it hiadi be

agree that it may be possible to ad-i
