DI u. OOOLD AlNOOLN.
The legislative jam in the SEN
ate over the Glass banking bill
was broken today despite defeat
of the motion to invoke the dras-
tic cloture rule.
The cloture motion failed by
vote of So to 80. A switch of one
vote would have adopted the
motion.
Immediately thereafter, how
ever, the Senate entered into
unanimous consent agreement to
limit debate on the Glass bill so
no Senator could speak more than
an hour on the bill, or more than
80 minutes on any amendment
offered thereto. This limitation
on debate, it is believed, will as
sure a final vote on the Glass bill.
The proposal for the unanimous con-
sent agreement was offered by Senator
Borah, Republican, of Idaho. one Of
those who had voted against the adcp-
tion Of clcture.
Bitter denunciation of Senator Huey
Long, who has led the week-old fill
buster against the banking bill, and
of Senators Watson of Indiana and
Moses of New Hampshire, who joined
with Long against cloture today, came
from Senator Robinson Of Arkansas,
the Democratic leader Of the Senate,
almost Immediately after the vote,
showing the cloture had failed by a
narrow margin, was announced.
Democrats Who Bolted.
Thirty-four Democrats and "a Re-
publicans voted to apply the infre-
uuently used cloture Among those who
bolted the Democratic leadership in op-
posing the motion were Mrs. Caraway
of Arkansas, Costigan of Colorado,
George of Georgia. Long of Louisiana,
Reynolds of North Carolina, Russell, the
new Senator from Georgia; Thomas OF
Oklahoma, Trammell of Florida and
Wheeler Of Montana. =.
Senator Gore, Oklahoma colleague Of
Senator Thomas, one OF the flllbustererS,
voted present.
Senator Dill, Democrat of Washing
ton, was paired against the cloture Pc
tition.
Those voting against cloture included
Democrats. 20 Republicans and
Farmer-Laborite.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, OF Okla
homa, an opponent of the Glass bill,
reused the wrath of Senator Robinson
when he attacked the Democrats who
had voted for cloture, contending the
rule of unlimited debate in the Senate
had always been the protection of the
people of the South.
The adoption of the unanimous con-
sent agreement to limit debate was in
terpreted as a defeat for Senator Long,
who had threatened at the beginning
of the hlibustor to permit no vote on
the Glass bill during the present session
of Congress. It is possible, however,
that Long may have learned that he
can muster enough votes to amend the
branch banking feature of the bill so
it will be satisfactory to him, and for
that reason was willing to enter into
unanimous consent.
The vote in the Senate on the branch
banking section will tell the tale.
Assails Thomas.
Speaking in impassicned tones Sena-
tor Robinson chided the Senator from
Oklahoma, declaring the United States

act in the present emergency, or else
it would have to accept the ridicule
which has been heaped upon it.
Turning to the Republican side OF
the chamber, the Democratic leader
charged that "the leadership On that
side of the chamber had helped to
make the Senate ridiculous"
Senator Watson Of Indiana, the Re-
publican leader, and Senator Moses of
New Hampshire, Republican president
pro tenn of the Senate, both voted
against the adoption of cloture. Last
night Senator Couzens charged on the
floor of the Senate that the lame duck
leadership on the Republican side had
conspired with Long and others in the
conduct Of the filibuster against the
banking bill.
Senator Robinson said that the only
question involved was whether the
Senate could do business; whether at
a time when the country IL in grave
need the Senate could reach a vote on
legislation. He charged that the Re-
publican leadership had, in an effort
to embarrass the Democrats, helped to
demonstrate the incapacity Of the
Senate.
