SALEM or. FEB. IA conference
Of the two opposing forces was he'd to-
night. and as q result the senatorial situa-
tlon presents itself iu a clearer perspec-
tive than AZ any time since the opening OF
the session. The reorganization problem,
however. appears Just as far from solution
a. ever. The hrst conference consisted OF
Republican senators. VINO have Tor the
most part been friendly TO Mitchell ana
who have refuses on tne ground OF illegal

Garter then spoke Of his anxious state
of mind during the night. and the ordeal
he had passed through. He had come
here TO make the fOrty-sixth man today,
but. said he
Il find there is q lie out somewhere.
Either Senator Mitchell misrepresented
things 10 me. or those senators who SEN
ator Mitchell said would come In have
lied to him. They have told me they did
not tell Senator Mitchell they would come

Carter concluded by saying that ne felt
