The amendment passed, 20 to 10, with House Speaker O. Vincent Es- posito voting for it and Majority Leader Dan Inouye against it. Rep. Hebden Porteus (R-Oahu) offered the amendment that touched off the debate.

At 9 p.m. Henry Robinson, Director of Internal Revenue, closed the doors on the bureau's big annual effort to garner more than 200,000 tax returns and the money that goes with them. A few late arrivals were bent wearily over their forms. And the agents helping them with their taxes appeared even more weary, but cheerful at the thought the end was in sight.

The Voice of America is "very effective" in the Middle East crisis, "but not effective as we would like it to be." Mr. Larson said the m-ecent radio broadcasts are being sent out from a mobile ship-based transmitter. A stronger, land-based transmitter would be better, he said.

4. Effect and extent of USIA work abroad is constantly checked for impact and effect. "We found the other day that an independent agency took a sample of 1,000 Hungarian refugees. Of them, 70 per cent had listened to the Voice of America. Of the JO per cent, 85 per cent thought it (Voice of America) was reliable," Mr.

Larson said. HE SAID that persons coming out of Russia show that "far more people than we thought in the urban areas of Russia listen to the Voice of America." He reiterated the charge that Russians put out "fake" broad casts during the Hungarian rev olution which later gave the im jthe location of a site unril, at 'best, the 1939 session.

Armstrong came unob trusively to light during a Senate Ways and Means Committee hearing. The senators were hearing a new draft of Senate Bill 779, the Democratic Party "fat cat" bill, or favorite piece of legislation.

This bill would set up an "economic blueprint" for the Terri tory. Locating the capitol at Ft. Armstrong was a keynote or "anchor" in the plan. SENATE ATTORNEY Robert G. Dodge, the man who whipped the bill into shape, was" reading the amended bill, paragraph by paragraph.

Lo and behold the mandate had disappeared. didn't like the idea of the mandate myself," said a senator later, "We should-not do anything we should be sorry for. We should plan the location of the capitol carefully very THE AMENDED BILL merely states that Ft. Armstrong "might be used for a civic center or capitol site." It directs the person in charge of territorial planning to order "a study of, governmental requirements." The study is supposed to be made within a six-month period from the effective date of the act. Obviously, this takes the whole matter right out of the hands of the 1957 Legislature.
