man Boyd OverhuUe (D-Mad-

The announcement gave
rise to the belief that the Sen

at a series of informal, unan

not attended by reporters.

going to call a Senate tax
meeting because committee
members had "conflicts" with
other work.
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.
At noon Friday Overhulse

discussing another matter."
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.

This 1963 Westinghouse Heavy Duty Luandromat is rigged . . . you simply cannot lose. It psys
back part of its purchase price with every wash because it uses only half the detergent and bleach
that agitator washers do (every detergent manufacturer says it right on the box)! With savings on

over its lifetime (8 to 10 years normal use). The laundromat cleans mud, grease, ground-in dirt
