The caucus increased the WAYS and

Threatened Tie-ip Of Proceed
ings on Opening Day Of Ses-
sion Is AVeFted.
CONTINUING BODY ISSUE LAID
Majority Caucus Declares Re-
vision Of the Rules Should
Not Be Partisan.

Rnate Democrats. after n long
wrangle in caucus over cloture. have
practically abandoned the attempt
which was pushed by Senators Owen.
Walsh. and Kern. and backed by the
Administration. to drive through dras-
tio cloture rule.
A. a result, the threatened tie-up of
the Senate proceedings on the opening
day of the session will not occur. Vice
President Marshall has been advised by
Senatr Kern that he need not be here.
The issue of whether the Senate Is a
continuing body will not be raiaed IN
such fashion as to interfere with the
routine. and the President will be able
to address the two houses as usual on
Tuesday. when he delivers his annual
message.
Indications are that cloture in any
form Is dead. In any event, II a cloture
rule is passed 1t will be taken up after
the Senate gets down to business. The
Rules Committee will pass on 1t. and II
will be disposed of in nonpArtiSan man.
The caucus was in session all day
yesterday, and at the end refused tC
adopt the proposed cloture amend
ment. 1t declared revision OF the
rules should not be partisan, and re-
ferred the subject to the Rules Com
mittee. Some members of the caucus
doubt whether the issue Will b'
raised again. But 1t is probable that
It will come up in some form anc
efforts be made to end the possibility
of grave abuses in respect to NIL
busters. A resolution saying that th'
subject Is nonpartiBan and shoulC
be referred to the Rules Committed
will be introduced, 1t is believed, to-
morrow.
Two things have worked against
cloture. One is the demand of many
PnnnhIinanR fhQl
cloture shall not be linked with thu
party caucus, and the other is tbs
doctrine, advanced by Senators Over
and Walsh, that the Senate Is not q
continuing body. Moreover, Southern
Senators have seen visions of force
bill If they put through cloture.
Senator owen withdrew the repor
of the special cloture committee. Th'
Senate tomorrow will be called t
order by Secretary Baker. Senator
Clarke will at once be electei Presi
dent Pro Tempore, and the old rule
will prevail.
The final vote In caucus was 40 to
in favor of the proposition tina
cloture Is nonpartisan and shoul,
be referred to the Rules Committee.
A strong speech by Senator O'Gor
man to the effect that IL cloture wer
put through in the form proposed tn
Democrats would be accused of gal
rule, and attacking cloture on consti
tutional grounds, had much to Il
with the decision. Senator owen, a
an individual. will continue to urg
cloture.
