WASHINGTON, Oct lS-After brief
debate and without the formality of a
record vote, the senate yesterday threw
out two more of the amendments writ

The two amendments had been intro
duced by Senator Fall, Republican, New

The vote came sooner than expected,
the leaders agreeing to it so that the

amendments now remain to be consid-
cred and it is hoped to bring them to a
vote early next week They both relate
to equalization of voting strength in the

Action on the two Fall amendments
came near the end of session which had
been enlivened by sharp debate over
