harmony did not prevail today at a Demo-
cratic House leaders conference called
at Speaker Clarks office following Rep
resentative Underwood's return from the

and Rules Committees, whose gathering
was indicative of their confidence of Sen
ate success, agreed to bring the bill in
under a special rule limiting debate to one
or at most two days
Henry promised such action and Alex
ander added; I'VE can pass the bill in
three days at the outside"
Representative Kitchin, who opposes the
bill. sounded the jarrinE note. 1t was

his opposition at this session to voting
against the measure. but II an extra ses-
sion were called and the bill were pressed

lively. He was said TO have given the
other Democratic leaders notice that the
bill would have rough shedding in the
next Congress and he believed enough
Democratic votes would be cast to defeat
it.
