Cooper Hughes Bill passed. It might have by attrition
|
|
2
|
and public opinion building up so badly that somebody just
|
|
3
|
had to give in, but as Jim says, the passage of the bill
|
|
4
|
was deliberately held back to kill off, in this instance,
|
|

|
the Cooper Hughes Bill, and who was it done by?

MR. BOND: Have I hit the point that was

would jeopardize --
|
|

|
MR. RENNIE: That's right. I :thought I stated

|
