can opposition to the confirmation of
DR.. Carey II. Grayson, President Will
sons naval aide, just renominated as
medical director and rear admiral, is
not expected to develop much strength

tempt another filibuster, as the DEM
ocrats will vote almost so!idly for con-
frmation.

the few on the long list to be con-
firmed likely to cause debate and if
the rules controversy is cleared up
without an extended fight the senate's
extraordinary session probably will be
