The legislation introduced by Rep. Augustine B. Kelley was assigned the top. spot .as "H.R. n ama*g th* mass of bills introduced by Hous* members on the opening day of Congress Thursday. At the same time, Rep. Adam Clayton Powell (D-NY) introduced a big school constructfen toll of his own containing the same antisegregation provision which helped defeat school aid legislation last year. Designation of Kelley’s bill as H.R. 1 does not automatically give it priority aver other measures. But House leaders generally reserve the first bill number for legislation they consider parttcu* larly important. The Kelley-Powell bills were among an estimated 2,000 first-day bills introduced in the House. They called for nearly everything from do*t vote. Many, like th* tax biH, were offered with q* hope of passage. —• Highway Employe Injured Thursday Thomas Sullivan, .63, of Geneva route one, an employe of th* state highway department, was injured Thursday afternoon when he was struck by a car as he worked on tire right of way of state highway 116 east of Geneva., Sullivan was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital, suffering a broken left leg and abrasions to his face.
