Trouble Ahead in Senate,
The House Will caucus on the bill
o morrow, and the prediction that a
nj be Overwhelmingly ratified by the
Majority membership seems likely "a
2 verified.
Leaders anticipate no serious diff
ulty engineering the bill through the
louise. In the Senate, however. i;
all be a very different story.
After the House has Caucused or
he bill, a week or ten days will be
iyen over to floor debate, probably
eginning Wednesday. After a few
avs general debate, the bill will be
AIKEN up by paragraphs, and pro-
Osed amendments will be considered
nder the five minutes rule. Mr.
Underwood thinks the bill should
each the Senate by May 1, practical.
y as now agreed upon.
In the Senate, where the margin Of
control is narrow, the rea
est of tariff revision will come.
