Representatives refused to give the Senate-approved measure new life by transferring it to a friendlier House committee that would clear it for floor debate before adjournment next Friday.

The vote was 88-57, with a two-thirds majority needed. "The bill is dead in the committee it is in now," said Rep. J. C. Whitfield of Houston, who asked the move.

Other members said another attempt may be Monday to get the 100 votes necessary to resurrect the measure. The proposal, if approved by two-thirds vote of both houses would go to Texas voters for a final decision in 1964.

Marvin J.

Bridges of the Mission headquarters of the foundation arrived here Thursday afternoon, and by 4 p.m. a federal livestock inspector was in Comanche with a spray and ready to begin spraying livestock in all herds bordering the ranch where the infestation was found. Spraying began late Thursday on the Cecil Shults place between Sipe Springs and Rising Star just off U.S. Highway 36. According to Bridges and area veterinarian Dr.

He recommended coral as a good spray to help prevent spread of the files. Numerous cases of the worms have been found In north and northeast Texas during May, and Bridges offered several theories for this.

He said he felt some of the flies were "hitchhiking" from South Texas into the northern areas in cattle shipment, and cited an example in East Texas where several counties, all along a main highway leading to the Rio Grande Valley, had reported outbreaks. He also said that special emphasis was being put on drops over since many of the outbreaks were along such streams.

This was: "Study the effects of approximately one day in orbital flight on the astronaut; verify that man can function in space as a primary 'system' aboard the spacecraft modified for a full-day mission." The Soviets remained far ahead in orbits and flight lengths, with a record of 64 and 48 revolutions last August. But they have divulged little of their condition.
