House rejects Avery bid to cut nine million for Tuttle Creek dam
In a House vote yesterday an amendment by Rep. Avery to strike nine million dollars from the civil functions appropriation bill to continue work on the Tuttle Creek dam in Kansas was defeated. The project would cover the fiscal year beginning July 1. Avery argued the dam was not justified and displaced residents and businesses should be treated fairly. Opposing the amendment were Rep. Scrivner and others who urged equitable treatment for those affected. The standing vote also defeated Avery's amendment to broader relief.

Hall Sees Doom For Work Bill
TOPEKA governor Fred Hall says Supreme Court action on the National Railway Labor Act will doom state right to work laws though the ruling covers railroads only. He notes it will eventually affect interstate commerce and faces opponent Warren Shaw who supports a right to work law. The decision is treated as a beginning of the end for state measures.
