WASHINGTON, March %. - A
swing of sentiment against the
Couzens resolution advising Secre-
tary of Treasury Mellon to resign
was reported in the Senate today.
Many Democrats have turned
against the resolution for political
reasons and will prevent its adop-
ton, Senate leaders said.
Senator Reed, Pennsylvania, close

mittee, where it will be forgotten
If Democrats carry out their threat
to vote against the resolution,

Senators Walsh of Montana and
Heflin of Alabama are expected to

Friends of the resolution, in the
face of the new adverse reports,
hope to delay action on it until they
can seek to force change of senti-
ment in the Senate.
