the Republicans a,S-sa<sallf firm In opposing.

eyitable. Some. however, who do nota be-
lievc there VIII beau extra session
predict that the Democrats will ultf-
mately back down, while others de-
clare that the Republicans will surrender.

selves forcing an extra session. He said
his party would remain firm. =
