been unable 70 cope effectively with
conspiracies because OF inadequate
authority. The IA laws urged by
the administration were not nearly
as drastic, he explained. as the laws
Of other nations.
He made this statement after Sen.
Cummins Of Iowa had offered II
amendments designed TO greatly
modify the espionage bills. Sen.
Cummins attacked the espionage
bills as an infringement upon the
indi yidual rights Of the Amer can
citizens and as contrary TO all Amer
lean principles
Sen. Works of California, support
ed Cummins' position.
The car of Russia would turn
green with envy If he could see these
measures" declared Sen. Works.

ton Of keeping the senate in session
until midnight if necessary to pass
the measures. Sen. Cummins de-
clared il would be "at least some
hours before they were passed
