up in the house Thursday under sus-

have the final vote before adjournment
that day after four hours of general de-
bate divided equally between opponents
and proponents
two-thirds majority will be neces-

but those in charge of the legislation
predicted that they would have votes to

succeed not only in suhtting out all
amtndments but also in preventing the
democrats from Offering motion to re-

The parliamentary plan for handling
the measure was determined upon at d
five minutes conference today between
Mr. Ginett and Chairman Campbell OF
the rules committee. On leaving the
speakers office Mr.. Campbell announced
that his committee would meet tomorrow
morning to draft rule making Thurs
day suspension day and increasing the
time for debate under the suspension
from the usual forty minutes to foul
