SENATE ADOPTS
CL0TURE RULE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. is R-For
the first time in history the senate
today invoked on purely domestic
question, it's drastic cloture rule

senator. The measure affected was
the conference report on the Nc
Fadden branch banking bill, the
adoption of which tomorrow will be
the last legislative step in a con-
troversy which has engaged the at
tention of congress for several years.
The vote by which filibuster OH

In order, he said, to further pro-
vide that no ''favorites" could be
played by the attorney collectors,
Slipher, Coconino, moved that the
bill be further amended to provide
that collections must be made by

motion carried.
The senate today, concurred in a
house amendment to a bill by SEN
ator Joyner, Pima, creating small
claims courts in justice courts in
which plaintiffs can seek redress
at less cost than at the present time.
The house this morning on third
reading passed the bill with only

priating $120,0OO over a period of

This motion is expected to be full

Another bill affecting the states

houses and signed by Governor Hunt,

A third measure affecting the

for passage by both the house
judiciary committee Of which Rep
resentative Pickett, Cochise is chair

series of amendments which were
argued over until late in the after

Representative Pickett explained
that county attorneys could not be

taxes, all the provisions of the laws

view by Representative Walker,
