reported the nomination favorably, the
only two opposing votes being those

Virginia.
The action of the committee rs
sured Tngwell's confirmation by the
senate, but the debate on the floor
was Unexpectedly long and the attacks
on Tugwell were outspoken. Senator
Schall OF Minnesota, for instance, said

The proposed boards also would

by any United States court OF compe-

enjoyed by the federal trade
commission. Vested with authority to
prescribe their own rules and regula-
