Walton os Chamber, who said he made 1t only after MT. Williams had said a mem Der of the United States Senate took office with less than 8 majority of the votes being cast for him. MT. Walton said he preferred not to bring names into the discussion but was forced to do so by MT. Williams statement.
 Those who voted against the re- moval of the bill from the adverse calender were:
 Adams. Adcock, Allen. Ashcraft (Fayette), Blackwell, Lewis, Bowen, Boykin. Burns, Burton, Byars. Gallo way, Cato, Christian, Cook, Deloney, Dickinson.
