The 10-man conference committee reached agreement on aU money items before midnight but put off a final vote until two days and nights of steady work wu complete.

bill (or aU practical Gov. Ben Barnes, who with Speaker Rayford Price, sat in on a closing compromise session that reached the snouting and fimjersliaking stage several times. Barnes said hopefully the bill would be on members' sometime Wednesday. Indicating debate could begin Friday or Saturday. Final approval of the compromise by both houses appnaUy will end the special Uwt teieo June unless Gov.

Preston Smith decides at the last minute to submit other proposed legislation.
