John Toelvctzes, according to the
story told in Mems Night Court at

the Grand Central station, took the
shuttle train because she took it, got
off at Times Square because she got

through the underground maze, dropped

ter 81 Votes Necessary
10 Prevent Approval
Resistance Likely
To Crunlble Now
Nine Democrats Expected
TO Join With Republi-
cans on Early Ballot

From The T'5buaes Washington BIrsn"
WASHINGTON, March 14.-The
Senate, by a vote Of 55 to 80, this
afternoon rejected the Robinson
amendment to the four power Pacific
treaty Twenty-six Democrats and
four Republicans lined up for the
amendment and ffty-one Repub-
licans and four Democrats op-
posed it.
The vote is viewed as pointing to
the certain ratification of the treaty
itself. On the basis of the vote cast,
the Administration leaders failed to
realize two-thirds support. The
vote, therefore, on its face would
seem to indicate the treaty is in dam
ger of rejection. Analysis Of it,
however, shows that when it comes
to the final roll call on ratification,
the opposition cannot hold together
the strength it developed for the
Robinson amendment. and that t
will be unable to muster the number
necessary to block ratification, which
is one more than a third Of those
resent and voting. Senator Lodge
made it clear he regards ratifica-
ton as assured. Final vote may be
reached before the end OF this week.
Realignment in Vote Forecast
1t is expected that Senator Owen
at least will be absent and not paired
when the final treaty vote is taken.
and that thirty-two votes would suf-
fee to reject the treaty. If to tha
thirty for the Robinson amendment
to-day there are added Senator
Jones, of New Mexico, and Senator
McKellar, of Tennessee, the-e void
be total of thirty-two. However,
Senator Mckellar, although paired
for the Robinson amendment, IS
likely to vote for ratification; Sena-
tor Fletcher and Senator Myers. o.
Montana. who voted for the Robin
son amendment, will support the
treaty, and hence there is no real
sign that the vote needed to prevent
ratification can be marshaled.
The opponents of the treaty to-nigH.
conceded that. as the result Of the vote
on the Robinson amendment, the indi-6
cations were the treaty would be rari-
fed by a narrow margin of one or two
votes. In view OF the result to-day, the
Administration leaders regard 1t as
| probable the opposition will crumbls
RAPIDLY and that when the final test
comes they will have a larger margin
than the test on the Robinson amend
ment would indicate.
Nine Democrats Counted On
At least nine Democrats, it is cor
sidered assured, will support ratltca-
ton. in addition to Senator Under

The Robinson amendment provided

United States that each OF the con
tracing powers would refrain from
