, Under the agreement obtained yester-
day by the minority, the bill will be
reported to the House tomorrow, and
taken up for general debate next Tues
Gay.
Opponents of the insurance measure,
led by Congressman Parker of
New Jersey, are busy today
preparing minority report
urging the defeat of the measure.
While Parker alone voted against re-
porting the measure to the House IA
vorably, it is known that some other
members of the Interstate and For
eIgn Commerce Committee voted with
the majority in the committee only
because they believed opposition there
would accomplish little or nothing.
While It is generally conceded that
the bond and certificate bill will pass
the House, no matter how hard 1t is
fought, there is serious doubt Of the
success of the insurance measure.
Members opposed to the plan ex-
pressed confidence today that If they
failed to kill the bill in the House, the
Senate could be counted on to de-
feat It.
