The bill, sponsored by Sen, Frank E. Moss, was sent to the President after House passage Monday.

Total loss was listed at $100. Wilsey said he thought he wounded the dog with a shot SEEK OPINION said the league will seek the opinion of newsmen who acted as moderators as to whether the meetings wers worthwhile and whether they will build in interest and attendance if held regularly.

This is but a small tvay we can pay tribute and demonstrate our gratitude to those men who gave their lives for us on that dark day in our nations history, he said.

He said the condition should hot be allowed to continue or courts might begin accumulating a new backlog of cases such as existed prior to last year. Catmull said today that a 30,000 square foot addition could be added on the south wing for much less cost than another story atop the courts building. Also, construction of a sixth story would seriously disrupt all court activities conducted in the building in contrast to relatively little confusion and interupdons for the south wing addition. aVvertTs emekt --HL torium sion plex.
