Dentists Invited March Clinic. By TOM KESTERSON NASHVILLV: 1UP) Frank Clement has picked a team of legislative leaders that appears to have possibilities of being one of the best in recent state history.

He will succeed Walter Pete Haynes of Winchester, one of the state's top I parliamentarians and best speak. ors of record.

and anything he does will inevitably be compared with the way Haynes did. Bomar, a Shelbyville reeldent, is perhaps the greatest showmatil in the legislature today, and perhaputi one of its most skilful infighters. But as-speaker his top job will be to keep the lid on the others. Led Opposition As unofficial but recognized leader of the "opposition" in 1949 as a representative. Bomar made Gov.

Gordon Browning's administration fight for its life on several major matters. His top perform. ances were in fighting for a truck weight increase bill and against an administration measure to cut the state tax on aviation gaseline. It took a personal appeal from Browning to whip the truck bill In the House, In both debates Bomar pushed the House into the equivalent of filibusters and forced it to adopt "gag" rules limiting debate for the first time in 12 years. He also made a spectacular though unsuccessful fight to stop repeal of the oleomargerine tax, a fight in which he was opposed even by his own wife.
