Sen. Franklin Kury, D- says he plans to introduce the amend- nent at some point during the days of Senate sessions planned this week before its nonth-long election recess.

But an amendment last by Sen. John Stauffer, removed open land Inot in active farm use from (the bill. "Sen. Stauffer was concerned about golf courses and things of that nature," Kury said. "I agree they don't belong but there are a lot of i a belong--game lands, open fields not used for agriculture as such but that still contributes to aesthetic value." Many senators apparently had not realized the full in- plications of the Stauffer amendment.

It was accepted on a voice vote, ordinarily used for minor changes. Kury noted that pressure is building for action on the bill, which would implement a constitutional change approved by the voters in May 1973.
