fused to rule as TO whether vote
could be completed IL begun at that
time. He had previously ruled that the

this vote is defeated through any such
means there never will be another
unanimous consent agreement so long
as I remain in the Senate"

marks and bring an early vote. Sena-
tor Pittman. who made the chief speech
at the night session in support of the
measure. withdrew in the midst Of his
address in order to smooth the way for
a vote.

opposed the passage of the bill and
said that other sources Of supply were
open to San Francisco. Senators Colt
