First Bill Vetoed Representatives Joe Berry and M. V. Horne of Richland and Winches ter Smith of Barnwell sought to have the House pass its original general appropriation bill without amend ments, but the House voted against this proposal. If it had passed, the University appropriation would not have been cut with the exception of an additional appropriation of $17,133 voted by the Senate for completion of the new Naval ROTC Armory. This increase was not in the original House bill. The House did not change thc ap propriation of $15,000 for comple tion of the Armory and of $35,000 for additions to the heating plant. Both these items were includled in the original House bill. Committee Decides Because the 1House of Representa tives refused to agree to the Senate amendments to the general appro priation bill and because the Senate refused to concur in the House's ac tion, the measure was sent to a Free Conference Committee composedl of Senators R. M. Jefferies of Colleton. Paul Quattlebaum of Halrry, J. Moore Mars of Abbeville and Representa tives Winchester Smith of B3arnwell, J.

Results of such continual harp ng on accuracy show up in expert lualifications on the rifle range and n deadly accuracy of marines on he battlefield.
