provide the necessary rule to get the
matter before the House. Among all rae
tons was displayed a general disposition
to dispose of the entire controversy as
quickly as possible.
The committee meeting lasted about
two hours. It was interrupted once by
Senator Lodge calling Rep. Rogers OF
Massachusetts, from the room to show
him some papers.
The President personally did not COM
ment on the action of the Senate, pre-
ferring to gain more information about
the parliamentary situation and center
ing his attention on the expected action
of the House.
Administration officials generally, how
ever, regarded the outcome as satisfacto-
~ and pointed to the fact that Senator
Gore had introduced an amendment d.
rectly opposite to his original resolution
and then had voted to table his own
amendment, as clear indication that he
realized his battle was lost and that the
President had won.
There was some discussion in admins
tration circles of forcing a direct vote
on the reintroduction of the McCumber
resolution warning Americans off armed
ships.
Most of the leaders. however, thought
nothing further would be done in the Sen
ate at the Presidents request.
