(AP) A flood of new bills, perhaps the largest for any single day of the session, is expected to hit the Illinois Legislature today.

The reason is that this is the final day for bill introductions, which to date total more than 3,500. It will take a suspension of the rules hereafter to bring in additional legislation.

House Speaker Ralph Smith, Alton Republican, plans to offer moderate bill seeking a compromise on the open housing controversy. Ten other proposals on the subject are pending before the Lawmakers. Nudge Pebble On The Moon PASADENA, Calit. (AP) "We moved it very gently, just enough to find out if it was a rock lying on the surface, or a piece of boulder protruding," said a Jet Propulsion Laboratory spokesman. The flexible arm of Surveyor 3 was nudging a rock on the moon Sunday to help scientists learn how the lunar surface will respond to astronauts landing on it.

The inch rock: was solid, scientists concluded, because the robot spacecraft's claw did not break it. Surveyor photographed the rock through color filters to add detail for specialists who will analyze it later. The photographs were among 861 taken Sunday to bring the total taken to 5,487 since landing on the moon 11 days ago. Surveyor's previous scratchings have indicated that the lunar surface near it is strong enough for men to walk on. Rospitai Notes Jefferson Memorial Admitted: Wilma Trotter, RFD 2, Dahlgren.
