The announcement gave rise to the belief that the Sen ate version was hammered out at a series of informal, unan nounced meetings that were not attended by reporters.

Late Friday he admitted the tax committee had held an "informal" session Thurs day. The two - hour meeting broke up about 6:30 p.m. No newsmen were present at the unscheduled meeting.

Agreement Sought About two hours later Over hulse admitted the group had discussed the "Green Belt Law," but said the major in come bills had not been dis cussed. "ensures adequate safe guards" for the individual. Rep. Beulah Hand (D-Mil- waukic) replied the language was so broad it "could set off a witch hunt." She also ques tioned the $9,000 per patient cost, and said the money could be spent in other areas where needs are higher and results could be greater. The measure is one of a package of six sex offender bills. Morgan said criminal con viction of a sex offender often is impossible when the victim is a small child. He said the intent of the bill was to get these persons out of circula tion. Accused Person . Under the bill, civil com mitment proceedings could be brought against a person though sexually dangerous. The accused person would be entitled to two jury trials. The first trial would deter mine whether proceedings should be continued or drop ped. If the jury thought there was evidence of sexually dan gerous tendencies, two psy chiatrists would be given 30 to 40 days to make a report. If one or both agreed, the accused would have another hearing and could request an other trial where commitment would be determined, -t After commitment, he could demand a new hearing each year to determine whether he should be released.
