Voigt Continues
Flibuster in House

Washington, June 26.-After lay
ing in cold storage all day the Voigt
fllibuster broke out again in the
house tonight, abruptly halted pro-
ceedings and forced adjournment
until tomorrow.
The Wisconsin republican, han
ding the fllibuster without help, de-
manded a roll call at the opening,
which showed 284 members present,
or 50 more than the largest number
voting Saturday. Thereafter he held
back permitting the grain futures
bill, the only measure up during the
day, to jog along. But when it went
from the committee to the house
proper with IA amendments, Mr..
Voigt demanded separate vote on
each.
The bells brought 263 members
scurryirg to the chamber to vote on
the first of the IA. Then, quite un-
expectedly, Mr.. Voigt withdrew his
demand and the house cheered.
A moment later. however, just as
the bill was up for passage, the Wis
consin representative called for the
reading of the engrossed copy of the
l6 pages. 1t hadn't been engrossed
and the house quit.
