 Arizonians Firm
 Previous to this vote two sons of a young and lusty western state Ashurst and Hayden of Arizona held the senate in the firm grip Of a tlibuster in the struggle of physi- cal endurance against the proposal to construct q huge dam at Boulder Canyon i'll the Colorado river.
 First one, then the other, took the floor, while Johnson of Califor- ria, leader of the forces for the bill stood helplessly by as the seemingly intermina hle debate went on. and leaders considered anxiouslv the prospect for adjournment today. Reinforced occasionally by friendly members, the Arizonans stood firm. 4 he 1Hk rk except for an hour or two necessary to muster senate quorum. Ashurst talked. giving little evidence of the strain he was undergoing This morning at $40 o'clock, he sur- rendered the fllibuster to Hayden, newcomer to the senate.
 Johnson Watches
 On the other side Johnson kept sharp eye open for any break m the fillhuster to Jump in for a de mand that the voting begin but the chances for final decision were far oH because of the innumerable amendments offered by Ashurst which first must be acted upon. LounslnE against the front of a desk, hls tall. sturdy figure held erect and h,s words delivered Tn a slow conversational tone Ashurst made good his threat to use every ounce of hls energy and endurance Tn order to prevent passage Of the | bill.
 Hayden. who held the lines for seven hours yesterday and Ia st night came back to the fray seem lngly IS fresh and strong as ever. He was armed with quantities Of documents and carefully prepared manuscripts with which to carry or aEalnst the silent, ,nsistent pressure eXerted by Senator Johnson IT his 1 eHort to force either a vote on the bill or an agreement that t he made the unfinished business Of the sem ate at the beginning Of the winter session Of congress
 Talk For Hours hetreen them, the tro Ar,,ons senators who charge that the hill is an lnlustlce to their state, have held up proceedings Of the senate since oclock. yesterday afternoon The, had brlet help from Hef1ln. of Ala bama, and Blease of South Carolina but the bulk of the burden of dela, fell upon Ashurst.
 The scene in the senate a. Ashurst concluded temporarily. pre-. sumahly, for there was no hint o, surrender in his words or attitude when he gave way to Hayden was a repetition of what occurred only 3 few days ago Tn the Muscle Shoals bill fillbuster.
 A handful of other senators were on the floor, reading newspa pers gosslplng in groups, discussing way, and means of avertlng the adjourn. ment deadlock.
 At one time, the Arizona senator gave way to permit a handful O senate bills. approved by the hous. with amendments. to go through Johnson agreeing to lift the fiji buster bars for a moment or twt only to be let down again shortly.
 Had Plenty of Notice The senate was prepared witt plenty of advance notice on tn Boulder Dam filibuster and commit tee rooms in the capitol were impro v,sed dormltories for the senator who remained all night on the lot Most of them went home in relay , for little sleep. a bath and fresI clothing. There were no evidence of the all night vigil as they begal to gathed again this morning. Il , rumpled hair or wrInkled coats.
