net at its meeting tomorrow and sent to the
House before adjournment, if time permits.

that be takes the ground that while there has
been no menace on the part of the majority of
Congress, "a such, the declaration of acknuwl-
edged leaders protesting to speak for their
party after caucus deliberations, amounts to a
virtual threat to the executive entirely unWar-
ranted by the relations which exist between the
executive and legislative branches Of tho gov
ernment.
