TO BEAT
OUT INDEPENDENTS

Washington, Mar, T.--unified BY a
national crisis. the senate probably
will alter It's ancient rules, while the
house may organize along virtually
coalition lines,
Modified cloturc--a change In
rules so that a measure cannot no
talked 10 death is likely TO pass the
senate Such alteration as senate
sentiment now favors will probably
give power to check u debate by a
two-thirds vote.
In the house there is talk OF a bi-
partisan organization. especially II
independents show u tendency to t'e
up proceedings.
As things stand now. they hold
the whip hand, by going Il alone.
they can tie house business, Hence.
republicans and democrats alike are
talking OF combining to choose u
speaker probably Champ Clark
and acting In unison on any Dig bus
iness affecting International affairs,
They do not want the charge to lie
against them that they are making
the nation appear disunited In n
crisis.
IN equal distribution as TO COM
mittee assignments and even patron
age is the house plan.
The defeat administered to the
presidents armed neutrality bill by
twelve senators was the direct spur
to those who want to cut the an
cient unlimited debate rule from the
senate regulations. Further confer
ences OF democrats and repu blicans
were on today to augment the
agreement reached last night to alter
the unlimited debate rule,
There Is expected to be a great
deal OF talk before the suggested
change goes through. especially by
LaFollette. Norris. Gronna and Cum
Minis. who led the sensational fill
buster, which defeated the prcsi-
dents armed neutrality resolution.
However. leaders said today that
they expected ultimately to squelch
the four leading fillbusterers.
Early today the president went
over the senate program with SEN
ators Owen. Reed. Walsh. Swanson.
Smith OF Georgia and James. The
chances for change In the rules
were discussed In detail.
An extra session to pass supply
bills before July Is admittedly in
evitable. but II Is not believed the
president will call one until the sem
ate changes the unlimited debate
rule. unless. OF course. he needs con-
gress for war declaration.
