Tests conducted elsewhere indicate four hours of exposure to fluorescent light will cause similar changes in the milk.

Republicans set up a con-1 fcrence to work out a policy on the measure. Dirksen de rided it as a "toe in the door" that would lead eventually to spending billions of dollars. The bill would give grants and other assistance for the development of rush-hour transportation systems In urban areas. The grants I would be limited to $500 mil lion over three years.
