MAYOR DECLARES
GENE Terry PLANS
ARE CONSIDERED
Action of Council Only Tables Prop
osition for Investigation, Durbin +.
States; Proposal Not Definite
Iy Ended.

That the proposition to purchase
additional ground for the purpose of
extending the cemetery mas not been
definitely rejected but simply laid
on the tlble for further considera-
ton of the plan, was the interpreta-
tion placed on the councils action
today by Mayor S. G, Durbin.
"It is a big proposition" said the
mayor, "and is one, ] think which
requires some considerable time to
work out Before taking on such a
proposition, | think it should be gone
into carefully with view of seeing
whether or not there Is some phase
that would prevent it's completion.
."There was no objection raised to
extending tie cemetery south The
opposition to the plan was the ex-
tension west which would practically
join the cemetery limits with very
desirable residence property 1t is
possible that if such extension is
started, the property owners affected
would fight tie proposition to the
extent tina we would have take the
matter to the supreme court for de-
cision.
Again, the health authorities
might object owing to the slope of
the land and it might be possible
that an order for the department for
bidding the location of a cemetery
on the site proposed, would come.
These, and other things, must be
considered before definite action is
taken, as | see it

Returns, which are beginning to

questionable sent over the county
by the Chickasha Chamber of Com
merce, show both approval and Op-
position to the idea of adopting some
plan that would lead to proposal
for meeting the federal aid in build

were sent from the Chamber of Com
merce offices here on Thursday To

from these and the records show IL
flvoring some such plan with II
against the proposition. The ques-

"They were mailed Thursday,
hence not sufficient time has elapsed
to enable many replies to reach us
said Mr. Conner 81 had not expected
to receive any replies before Mon
day and the fact that some Of the

by other counties, and with good
roads movements in general

hummer of replies in by Monday and
it is probable that by the end of

Bitter Struggle Believed Be On Tap
On Separate Peace Passed by the
House; Chiefs Are Martial
ing Forces.
RELATIONS COMMITTEE
MEET EARLY IN WEEK
Lodge Announces Plans; Narrow
Margin Favors Adoption observ-
ers State; Defeat Might Re-
suit from Changes.
BY United Press.

ny OHllGu IItoo,
Washington. April 1O-Senate lead
ers today prepared for a long and
bitter struggle over the peace reso-
luton which was passed by the
house yesterday.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
foreign relations committee said that
he would call the committee to con
slider the measure as early next week
as was convenient Lodge and other
Republican leaders in the senate ex-
pect that the resolution will even
tually pass by close vote. The mar
gin, they state is so narrow that a
change in the next two weeks might
spell defeat for the measure.
Before adopting the resolution the
house voted down a motion by Rep
resentative Flood of Virginia the
ranking democrat Of the foreign af-
fairs committee, to send the resou-
tion back to that committee with
instructions to report out substitute
repeating all wartime acts.
The vote on that motion was III
for, and 232 against.
On the democratic substitute offer
ed as motion to recommit the only
vote other than ha on adoption of the
resolution permitted under the rule,
ahree democrats lined up with the
republicans, while two republicans
joined the minority. The greater
break in the democratic ranks came
ON the final vote.
Chairman Porter of the foreign af-
fairs committee claimed after the
roll call that twenty votes would
carry the resolution over "a presiden-
tial veto. Democratic members, how
ever, said a vote on that question
would see party alignment virtually
intact.
The vote ended a two-day battle Of
words in the house. The rule was
rigid, preventing all attempts at
amendment of the resolution put for
ward by republicans on direct offers
of substitutes. Only the recOmmit-
ment motion was acceptable and
there was no preliminary presenta-
tion of the democratic proposal.
The fight began at II o'clock yes
terday morning and occupied all the
time of the house for more than
twelve hours 1t was marked through
out by sharp partisanship except for
those on each side who broke away
from party lines to join the opposi-
tion.
Former Speaker Clark and Repre-
sentative Kitchin of North Carolina,
took leading part in the fight on
the democratic side. while Represen-
tative Mondell, the republican lead
er who closed the debate, received
warm greeting from his party col
leagues. Representative Kitchin's
speech aroused the democrats to an
outburst of cheering as he assailed
the republican membership charging
them with hypocrisy" and challeng-
ing them to present straight pro
posal of the war time legislation if
they were sincere. At the close Of
his speech Mr.. Kitchin suffered a
collapse, resulting from what was
said by his physicians to be slight
stroke of paralysis. Representative
Mendell later expressed the sympa
thy Of the house with Mr.. Kitchin.
