Senate failed by five votes to pass Sen McCarthy s death penalty moratorium bill as House already postponed a similar measure. A separate Revenue Committee bill would extend repayment of 17.1 million borrowed from the motor fuel tax fund to 1964, with debate on using 34 million from the fund to cover assassins and public officials.
