The amount will remain inde finite until the All-College com mittee which will distribute the funds being collected to aid the fire victims can go over the re ports and determine the losses more accurately.

The committee was set up after both Republicans and Democrats failed to muster sufficient strength within their own ranks to take a unified stand on , the measure. The bill, already passed by the Senate,- would require anti- Com munist vows by all public em ployes in the state, including school teachers and elected offi cials. Want Proper Form The measure originally was scheduled to go before the House for a final vote today. However, Rep. Charles C. Smith •(Phila), GOP floor leader, told the law makers a delay was decided to attempt to settle differences on the bill. "We all want this bill to be in its proper form and we know by reaching such an agreement we will have a better bill," Smith told the House. His suggeition was accepted by Rep. H. G.' Andrews (Cambria) Democratic floor leader, who agreed to hold off Democratic attempts to once again amend the bill. Backed by Veterans The long-disputed bill has at tracted more button-holing citi zens to Capitol Hill during the current session than any other single measure. It is backed by state veterans organizations and has the support of Gov. John S. Fine. Ranged against the bill are teacher groups, college instructors, and civil rights organizations. It was amended last night to broaden court appeal rights of persons discharged for subver sive activities. Andrews Indicated attempts may be made to alter the amendments.
