The members of the Senate Committee did not disclose proposed amendments but jurgad a joint meeting of both houses for the purpose of adopting! the joint rules. This proposal was can't remember who the wardens| were anymore.” Then Banghart volunteered this information: “You know, Boss, there are two kinds of wardens. There are the guys who want to watch every de- tail in the place and do everything themselves, and can't, because a jail's a big institution. Then there’s the warden who sticks his chest out, walks around and leaves every- thing to others.
