In Both Houses for ResOlutlOn-Scn.
ate Leaders Baked For hay by
Opposition by LaFOllette, he.
eide to Begin Continuous
Session.

Washington, April 3-The way was
cleared on both sides of the capitol
today for prompt enactment of the ad-
ministration resolutions declaring
state of war exists with Germany, and
directing the President to prosecute
1t with all the nations resources to a
successful termination.
Baked by Senator LaFollette in
their efforts to have the resolution
taken up Immediately after 1t had been
presented from the Foreign Relations
Committee, Senate leaders decided to
begin tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock,
Letters signed by Senator's Martin and
Gallinger, Democratic and Republican
leaders respectively, went to each sem
ator tonight asking him to be in his
seat tomorrow when the Senate meets
and announcing the plan for contin-
uous session.
If the leaders can hold quorum,
as they were able to do In the closing
hours Of the last session, on the arm
ed neutrality bill, 1t is probable that
there will be action late tomorrow
night or Thursday morning. 1t is not
expected that there will be any at
tempt to filibuster, but no one knew
tonight If any senators would speak.
Adoption of the resolution by the
House before tomorrow night, is pre-
dieted by members of the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee. The committee will
meet in the morning and is expected
to report back quickly the resolutions
as approved by the Senate Committee
A special rule probably will be asked
from the Rules Committee to expedite

ress in the Senate and little delay IL
