RECORDS OF
BOTH HOUSES
REPERFECT
Not a Single Bill Killed This
Year Through Failure of
Committee to Report

Both branches Of the North Da-
ords at the present session by dis
posing of all their bills by Wednes-
day noon, when the constitutional
time limit for sending bills to the
other house expired.
Not single bill was killed through
failure of committees to report on
it in time for final consideration,
and every bill that was not killed by
adverse committee report was con-
sidcrcd on the floors Of either the
upper or lower house.
In the 50-day period the senate
considered a total of $50 bills, and
the house of representatives dis
posed Of 363 measures.
Filibustcring, which had been
adopted in some past sessions to pre-
vent passage Of important party
measures before the time limit ex-
pircd, was not used as the time grew
shorter. The only filbustcr to date
was brief one in the senate over a
week ago.
The senate was enabled to dispose
Of it's bills much more rapidly than
the house, due to smaller number
of bills introduced in the upper
branch and tendency to act on the
measures without long and heated
discussions that marked passage or
defeat Of nearly every important bill
before the house.
Through its quicker work, the SEN
ate kept well up with it's calendar
and recessed over both Lincoln's and
Washineton's birthdays.
The house, however, was forced to
hold several morning sessions, and
night sessions were resorted to or
two occasions in order to get bills
through the legislative mill.
Both branches are now preparing
their final dashes down heavy cal
cndars, and each house faces Ions
sessions every day in order to either
defeat or send all measures to tn.

NOTE: Following his report to
the Fifth National Convention of

for the political committee, there
was lengthy discussion among the
delegates. Jay LOvestone, the re-
porter for the committee, then
summarized the discussion as fol-
lows:
Don't Lean Backward.
l ask the comrades of the former
opposition not to help the comrades
in one of the ways they promised to
help the party. The leading COM
rades of the former opposition said
eve intend not to carry on the fight
after this convention" In the next
breath he said, eve will even lean
backward" We don't want you to
lean backward. We want you to
stand upright with US and so for
ward with us. When you lean back
ward gu will develop situation
such as we had several months ago,
only few months ago Even if you
should show signs Of wanting it, we
will mt allow you to lean backward
because we want you to move for
ward. We viii straighten you up
If. you lean backwards.
"A few words about protection:
Corarade Foster is coming to the
rescue OF Comrade Cannon. During
the elections, Comrade Cannon came
to the rescue of Foster. There is no
need for rescue, nobody is being at
tackled. The problem of Party lead
ership is not a problem of patronage.
The problem Of Party policies is not
problem Of patronage. We all say
we are for unity. The CT resolution
calls for unity. 1t says specifically
that this should not be a merger Of
two against one-half insofar as two
groups, or two against one and a
half, insofar as the other group is
concerned. 1t says that the third
group, Comrades Cannon, Weinstone,
BaIlam, that they also must merge
themselves, not with one group
against other, but with both groups.

ventlon, Comrade Cannon will merge
with US and even much better than
