"There would have been no attack

interview quoting Senator Ashurst, OF
Arizona, as charging that Republican
members OF the Judiciary Committee
were flibustering TO delay a vote on
the nomination until after the nationa.
political conventions.
Senator Ashurst stood steadfastly by
the quoted statement until assured ny
fellow Democrats on the committee
that there was no such filibuster lie
Withdrew the charge after he had de-
nounced executive sessions and charged
that the Republicans were angered over
the nomination of Mr.. Brsndeis because
he was champion of the masses.
II generally was believed tonight
that the debate would serve TO bring
the committee TO a vote on the nomina-
ton within a few days. All the SEN

were members of the committee.
Senator Sutherland took Senator
Ashurst to task for revealing to news

Judiciary Committee and for saying
that the Republican members were MI
