The proposition which some OF the DEM
ocrats attempted TO commit their side to

was voted upon indirectly on motion to
recommit. commanded the votes OF only
about half the opposition and two Repub-
licans, Mr.. Mccall and Mr.. Mann, OF Illi-
nois. Many of the Democrats, however,
voted against the motion, because they
were opposed not only 10 the reorganiza-
tion bill but also to continuing the tenn
porary army at its present strength.
Quite a number OF amendments were
placed upon the bill before IL was passed
