A party source, who asked not to be identified, said rank-and-file House Republicans would likely in sist on keeping the stamp plan in the law as part of any compro- snes cl amend ments now before Leader. Leader has called a conference for tomorrow nTghrwIthGeurge I.

Bloom, Republican state chair man, and legislative leaders of both parties to hammer out an agreement on the tax. Under fire are proposed new ex emptions for mahufacturefs puF-" lie utilities and shipyards. Not in dispute is a plan to keep the sales levy from dropping to 2 per cent June 1 and to eliminate the stamp plan for collecting the tax. Under the stamp plan, retailers would issue stamps as evidence that the tax is collected. The stamps would be redeemable bv the state at 2 per cent of their face value.

Under the 1956 law, the stamp system was to have become effec tive Jan. 1 but a court test has baited its operation. Leader has described the stamp plan as obnoxious but, at the same time, he objects strenuously to the dealing with industrial exemptions The governor has until next Thursday to make up his mind on the sales tax measure. The Senate will begin four-day sessions Monday in an effort' to adjourn by May 31. Inmates Eight For A Chapel JACKSON.

Light heavyweight champ Moore refereed two of the nine bouts.

The fans crowded into the main auditorium which still bears the scorch marks of the fire started by prisoners in the riot. Warden William H. Bannon said, "it goes to show you people will do anything to fight If we'd billed this strictly as an athletic affair, it wouldn't have drawn 15 cents."

House Speaker Sam Rayburn "(D-Tex) yeporteoUy.ehas., told President tsennoweirthanr nemakes a "per sonal request for "temporary presidency legislation, people will think he plans to give up ac-. tive presidential service. An informed source, who de clined to be quoted by name, said today Rayburn told this to Eisenhower yesterday during a White House conference with sional leaders. Eisenhower was said to-have replied-that-he didn't see how such an inference could be drawn. At this conference, Eisenhower proposed a Constitutional amend ment to authorize the Cabinet to deeide-'byajorHy-vc4e-when--the Vice President should assume temporarily, the duties of a disabled President who was unable or unwilling to make the decision himself.

Rayburn opposed the idea strongjy. Other congressional leaders voiced more guarded re actions, but none indicated enthu siasm for the Eisenhower plan. The Constitution provides that the Vice President shall take over th duties of the President in the event of the President's resigns tion, ouster, death or disability. But it does not spell out how a decision is to be reached on when a President is disabled, nor who should make the decision.
