Bill Seen as Dead By Introducer Body Refers Measure To Committee After Amendments Exemptions Would Kill Purpose, Sys Senator an an interview with United Press Wednesday, Sen. Edward J. Thomp son, of Philipsburg, expressed his opinion that the bill' he introduced to prevent sale of merchandise by State owned and State-aided' institutions was "dead." The bill lUms returned to the State government committee Monday night for further alterations after it had been approved as amended at the sec ond reading. Thompson said that: when amend mentimeeting all the objections rais ed are embodied in -the bill it would not be worth reporting to the Sen ate- floor. The bill originally exempt ed penal institutions which compete with private businesses more than any, other class of State-owned or aid ed organizations in the sale of mer chandise. When legislators insisted upon other exemptions, the purpose of the measure was defeated, Thomp son pointed out.

It was estimated here this week that should the bill have been passed in its original state, $400,000 worth of business revenue collected by. the School of Agriculture from its dairy and similar precincts for agricultural research would have been endangeied. The original' bill flailed for - a.' fine of 100-for violators, and a stop of appropriations to institutions where the violations were discovered. - :Thompson, last. month,..introduced ,taro,,ineaturestct,silloOtes2so,ooollor a journaliSin amount to the - School ot'Mineral In dustries ;for extension work.
