...absence made no legislative hearts grow fonder. "The People Are Watching." Last week, as the legislature entered its final hours, it suddenly became clear that Rocky's feet were being held to the fire on his home-state hearth. Republicans controlled both assembly (85 to 65) and senate (33 to 25). But three of Rocky's favorite legislative proposals -outlawing full-crew railroad featherbedding practices, revising the 30-year-old state liquor laws and creating a tough legislative code of ethics-were deep in trouble.

...interest-rate warfare. With these moves, McMurray, a former Government economist and assistant to the late Senator Robert Wagner, has cooled the race for depositors but has brought bitter complaints from many S. & L. leaders. Government officials, however, believe that the new rules will let the S. & L.s grow at a safer if slower speed and help them to achieve the maturity that the prudent banks have already attained...
