A possibility of n hitch in these
plans appeared, however, when

called altentlon to Ihe senato bank
lag committee's elimination of pro
visions for insurance of small rural
homes. Itunkin said proponents of
such Insurance would attempt to
instruct tbi! house conferees to
hold out for Its reinstatment.
Minority leader Snell then
sought assurance that tho confer
ence report on Ihe housing meas
ure would not be brought buck for
house action while most of the
members were out or town for tho
holidays. Bayburn indicated that
was not contemplated. That
would keep tho hill from reaching
