 Back to the House floor: Sam Rayburn introduces the substitute as "a Compromise" Byrns and O'Connor back him up against Huddleston on a point of order. RaybWn speaks and you can sense that many previously recalcitrant Democrats have had enough of the fight.
 O'Connor then rises to urge passage and as he does so, note comes from Byrns to Rayburn, who controls the time: Recognize me for three minutes and I'll speak for it.
 Byrns speaks: we can't go back to our constituents and ad- init our inability to pass legisla- tion." And over she goes, as all but 59 democrats scramble back under the administration tent.

 Roosevelt stuck his chin out in this contest--and kept it there. His insistence that he would take the issue right into t he campaign finally caused the rebels in his own party to crumble and concede him a triumph in the major congress sional test of administration strength since March {, 1883. Back to the Wall
 Twice the administration had gone to defeat in the house on the sen ate-endorsed death sentence" Everyone knew the house leaders weren't backing up the president.
 Democratic Congressman George Huddleston of Alabama and Re- publicans Cooper of Ohio and Holmes of Massachusetts, dominat- ing the house conferees, showed every sign of an intention to block any legislation whatever. Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana, sponsor of the bill and head of the senate conferees, stood firm.
 Then those celebrated admins tration brain trusters, Ben Cohen and Tom Corcoran (who averaged about six hours sleep a night aft CT they started work on this bill 10 months ago), drew up ''substi- tute" for the "death sentence" clause (which both sides now ad- init was virtually the same thing) and the ''substitute' was secretly approved by Roosevelt.

 "Joe Byrns, do you dare go back to Tennessee and face the people after what you've done here?

 The quotations aren't quite ver- batim, as no notes were taken. But the boys got the point. They real ized many House Democrats were desperately anxious to vote for a face-saving substitute.
