Jos. E. Johnston Of Birmingham,

Johnston weakens the democr attic
n majority on the administr alton tariff

ers insist that there still will be NO
serious difficulty In passing the
measure.
In the democratic caucus It WAS
thought that As senators had declared
they would support the bill on its
fnal passage. Al that time Senators
Rausdell and Thornton Of Louisians
were the only ones to declare they
would vote against the bill because
OF the sugar schedule.
On the bssis Of the agreement demo.
cratic leaders figured that the vote
on the tariff bill without deaectious
from each eide would be 40 to Al for its
passage. The death OF Sen ator
Johnston leaves the calculation 48
to Al.
