Foes of Inflation Rejoice As

WASHINGTON — () __Demu-|

issue would be carried into the
front lines of the political wars.
He also announced it would be re
introduced today in the hope le
gislators might “repent.”
Smiling grimly, he received the
condolences of his friends over the
235 to 142 beating handed the bih
yesterday amid the whoops of its
jubilant opponents,
“It wasn't so bad,” Lemke said.
‘f'Wo'u get back here next Janu
He said the two cars had been
seen with only one hostage, bsliev
ed to be Doaks. The guards were
thought to have been thrown from
the speeding automobile.
The two carloads of fleeing con
victs were heading toward the
Arkansas border,
