at last. The two Houses are still at logger

the session. II a vote can be reached, the Colo
RADIO veto will be overridden, as many of those
who opposed the bill when it was under discus

now convinced of the necessity Tor all the loyal
votes that can be got into the Senate, to be pre-
pared for the contingency of such reconstruc-
ton as may result from the Presidents policy.
