"I'd like to see how vou'll vote on that kind df bill," he told Morton. The bill, adding $2,050,000 to the old age benefit appropriation was passed, 91-0, but it couldn't scrape up the necessary 100 votes to put it into immediate effect if the Governor should sign Back to Conference The House also refused to approve a conference committee report on a key bill setting up of the lack of feed- because magistrate courts to replace justices of the peace courts in Missouri.

D.C., Peoria, 111., and Richmond, the only important cities in the country: reporting more jobs than job-seekers.

Robert C. Goodwin, director of the U.

"Once more the American Medical Association raises its ugly position trying to dominate hospitals." Sen. Ralph Erdwn (R) of Concordia declared. He accused the Association of exercising a sinister influence so it could work through county courts to "shut out osteopaths and chiropractors." Sen.
