SENATE To SEAT
GRUNDY soon

Joseph r. Grundy made his
bow to Washington today in a
new role-tf1at Of Sepstor-de
nate from Pennsylvania.
He was appointed to the
vacancy which occurred through
the Senate'sA refusal to admit
William 8. Ware, and he not only
accepted but announced that he
would be a candidate to succeed
himself next year for the regular
term.
A sharp but Intellectual attempt
will be made by a small group
of Senators to keep Grundy out
Of the Senate. Among the ring
leaders Of the opposition is Sena
tory Gerald p. Nye (R) Of North
Dakota,l one of those States the
veteran tariff lobbyist pronounced
"a backward State" in his ap-
pearance before the Caraway
lobby committee.
May Delay Vote
The opposition may keep tEg
Pennsylvania from his seat for
q few days, but the majority
opinion on all sides is that the
fight win fail and the Senate
will seat Grundy by a top-heavy
vote. 1t was estimated today
that not more than a dozen votes
will be cast against him.
Even such a consistent inSur-
gent as Senator Norris (R.) Of
Nebraska, who led the fight TO
oust Ware. will vote to seat
Grundy, although politically the
Pennsylvania stands for ABOUT
everything that Norris opposes.
