the senate today voted to engross
the bill by Senator Edgar Witt of
Waco, j the administration measure

The senate refused 13 to 9 to re-
consider its action of Wednesday in
tabling an amendment by Senator
Wirta which would have provided
centralization near Austin. Sena-
tor Eugene Miller of Weatherford
contended that ¡t(,¿-iyould be futile
for the senate to pass a bill plac-
ing; any part of the system near
Austin In view of, the house's at-
titude.
Th house refused to adopt a res-
olution which would have created

There were many expressions thiii

considerable speculation aH to which
