WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-
Three plans for the disposal of

today by the senate.

the Jones plan for reference of
the whole problem to an expert
commission in place of the IN
derwood bill authorizing the
President to lease to priyjyi, p.,:-
sons. This was done Dy a vote
of 46 to 33.
Immediately thereafter the
Norris bill providing for gov
ernment operation, previously
defeated, was substituted for
the Jones plan by vote Of 40
to 80.
Senator Underwood thereupon
moved once again to substitute
his bill, and after a parliamen-

was 40 to 80.
This action reversed previous

the Norris plan FOR government op-
Grafton was defeated by a vote of

Norris maneuvercd his opponents
I into peculiar parliamentary stu.

ment temporarily by one vate.
Senator Underwood, however, inn
mediately countered by offering his
bin as an amcndmctt>to the Norris
bill.
This will force another vote on
the Underwood measure which was
defeated earlier in the day when il
was against the Jones amendment
On this occasion, however, it will
be matched against the revised Nor
+ ris amendment in similar position
as was the case last week when the
Norris amendment was defeated.
Democrats who were for the I'm
derwood bill went over to Norris
and helped him put his amendment
over.
Thirty out of the forty votes that
