By PHILIP F. OLIFFORD JR. |

representatives are reported plottihg a series of “sneak plays” which promise to throw the House into a hectic turmoil by mid-week. Working quietly and cautiously, certain members on both sides of the House are said to have built up & network of counter-amend-ments against—some —of their party's “pet legisiation.” — target of the "revolutionaries” is said to be the highly controversial and as yet unsettled veterans bonus payment. Détails of strategy were not revealed, but one lawmaker said the reason was due to Gov. Schricker’s “high-handed attitude” toward - certain Ppleces of legislation. Success Questionable In view of an Governor's recent appearance before the Democratic ‘State Committees when he sought to “whip into line” some of the known malcontents among Democrats of both House and Senate, success of the revolt remains ly speculative. is quite possible that some of the governor's pointed directions in the matter. of pending legislation will be shunned, If not entirely defeated. Meanwhile, the House moved through another week without showing too much promise of wiping the slate clean by the end of the current session of the Gen-

eral Assembly. Since the opening day, 408 bills have been into the -hop-

dumped Of this number, only 86 have reached third reading. Four have died either in committee or by House roll call.
