The Committee originally planned to report the Bills in combina tion, but decided to report them separately. The Fiesinger Bill was reported over Representative Somers' opposition.
Mr. Somers said that he intended to ask the Rules Committee in a few days, for a resolution to authorise early House consideration of the Dies Bill. It is understood that Mr. Fiesinger's supporters will seek similar action.
SPEAKER RAINEY SAID THAT HE HEARTILY APPROVED OF BOTH BILLS, AND HOPED THAT THE RULES COMMITTEE.
