Resentment Flares at Defeat, 2 little Hoover' Bills Killed Harrisburg (UP) The bruised but often resurrected sales tax bill has been killed by the House of Representatives ending months of controversy that split Republican ranks. Twelve insurgent Republicans teamed with a solid Democratic 90-member bloc to administer the death blow at a dramatic House session late Wednesday.

The final vote was 94 for the bill and 102 against, which was 11 short of the required 105 votes required for passage of legislation in the House. Actually, the defeat was no surprise to the House Republican leadership which had tried vainly since the bill's introduction last March 30 to bring their insurgent members into line. They knew they didn't have the votes when the chips were down, but the pro sales tax legislators insisted that the issue be finally brought to a head.
