 The republicans spent most of their time discussing cloture and it became apparent that while most. of the 35 present were vigorously opposed to a rule which would tie the hands of the minority completely, they might be willing to agree to a milder form of restricting debate.

 Some republicans said tonight the president could get the armed neutral ity bill through the senate in three days without amending the rules if he would call a special session. Tffsy pointed that under the present practice by which senator cannot rely on quorum calls to give him opportunity to rest. 1t is almost impossible for one or two men to speak for more than day at most.
