The measure is intended to set up a single pattern for issuance of rules and regulations.of the 130-odd administrative agencies of the Gov- ernment and to expedite court re- views of such orders. Proponents contend that it would | place proper curbs on any agency proccdure which has been subject to criticism. Opponents argue that 1t would bring a multitude of court cases which might tie up an agen- cy's work. Major provisions of the bill: 1. Any complaint against an agen- cy regulation would be heard by an | intra-agency board, which would recommend & decision to the agen- cy's highest official. 2. If a request for the withdrawal of a regulations were rejected, an aggrieved person could appeal to a Federal Circuit Court. The agency's decision would be set aside if find- ings of fact were erroneous or not supported by substantial evidence, if unconstitutional, illegal or beyond the agency's jurisdiction. 3. If two or more appellate courts disagreed on the same controversy, the issue would go automatically to the Supreme Court. New Clue Followed Up In Nevada Wreck Plot By the Assoclated Press. ST.

Although two shots were fired at him, Mr. Kologi managed to grab the car’s ignition key and escape. The four men then hurriedly com- mandered another car. Mr. Kologi—battered and beaten— couldn’t understand why police were puzzled at the scrap he had put up. “Why, it was & new car!” he ex: plained.
