CHEVROLET Chevrolet Task Force 59 Coming session of state legislature to be a hot'ern By JOE M.

And many a battle is certain in the overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature which will convent here less than two months hence. Seldom has the probable legislative program contained so many contentious issues as the list to be faced by the 24th Legislature of the State of New Mexico.
