Over Amendments to

No Progress Is Being Made-McAdoo
Urges Passage Of Bill Substantially
as Pending in Senate-CIash Be-
tween Hollis and Simmons - Lodge
Says Finance Committee Free from
Dictation
Washington, March 5.-Contention in
the Senate over the administration bill
to create a War Finance Corporation
continued today against preventing ac-
ton on the measure after sharp clashes
and an effort by Secretary McAdoo to
compose their differences.
Attack was centered in today's de-
bate on the provision establishing a
capital issues committee to license Sc
curity issues of 100000 and over, Re-
publican leaders joining with Demo-
Gratis of the banking committee lead
ing a fight on the legislation.
No Progress on Amendments
No progress was made on amend
ments. Administration leaders were
doubtful as to whether the licensing
plan could be retained.
Secretary McAdoo was invited to q
conference of banking committee men,
bers and other senators and is said
to have urged passage Of the bill sub
stantially as it is pending in the Sen
ofa IAl To ha
Senator Hollis OF New Hampshire, a
Democratic member Of the committee,
broadly intimated that administration
influence had dominated the considera-
ton of the bill and that Secretary Nc
Adoo had outlined just what matter
should not be discussed or changed.
Hollis and Simmons Clash

old reliable and well disciplined COM
mittee," said Senator Hollis, apparent

tor Simmons, in charge of the bill, re-
torted holly. mo senator has the right
to impugn the motives, independence
and integrity of the committee"
Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,, Re-
publican. said that the fact that the
committee made an unanimous report
on a bill was no assurance that each
member would endorse every amend
ment. He added that the finance COM
mittee was just as free from outside
dictation as those that criticize it and
