AUSTIN. Feb. 4. </P>—Prospects
for an anticipated bitter fight be-

Texas legislature over a resolution
to investigate corporate connec-
tions and income of members grew
dim Monday.
Representative Traylor Rut it '.1
of Mount Pleasant sponsor of the

the subject drop since the senate
broadened the scope of the pro-
posed inquiry to encompass vir-
tually all departments of govern-
ment. Including campaign ex-
penses of the chief elective offi-
cers. Russell said he would ask the
house to reject the senate amend-

ned sheepishly as he admitted his
.talk was never broadcast
