LAUGHS AT COMPROMISE

The Penrose war board" opened confer

The senior Senator returned unexpectedly

Intention to appear personally before the

He added, however. that he was confident
of at least thirty votes for the resolution
when II comes up for final passage In the
upper house of the Assembly.
Penrose also emphatically denied that any
compromise suggestion had been made to
