HOUSE ADOPTS DIRECT VOTE
Approves 296 to 16 Constitutional
Amendment for Election of Sem
ators by the People.

Observation-Disclosures Of United
States senators by popular vote was
approved by the house of represent
atives by vote of 296 to 16.
The constitutional amendment now
goes to the senate. Senator Borah,
who championed it in the last con.
gress when the resolution failed of
the necessary two-thirds majority by
margin Of four votes, expressed the
belief that this time the senate will
give the measure half dozen more
than the necessary two-thirds and
speed 1t on its way to adoption by
the requisite number of states.
The debate lasted six hours and
while spirited at all times, never
dropped into partisan channels.
