But he knew it was not lie Slow tears ran
down his face, trckled into his mustache. He
licked them away but they kept coming hot

He sat there for long time. His fat cheeks

measure would have been enough to
defeat it.
1t took the most extreme efforts by
New Deal chiefs to prevent roll call
on that bill which, they said privately
yesterday, would have defeated the
measure. Most Democratic objections.
they reported, came from Southern
members who felt the bill was un-
constitutional.
The House poll on the utilities bill,
it was reported showed 68 definite
noes" on holding company abolition
and 129 non-committal A majority
of the 113 Republicans, G. o. P.
leaders reported, are definitely against
abolition.
Because of the situation, renewed
efforts were being made to expedite
the legislation on the must" pro-
gram. Committee delays and parlia-
mentary routine made it necessary for
House leaders to change their plans
for this week.
Instead of taking up tomorrow the
bill amending powers of the Tennessee
Valley Authority, they arranged to
spend the day on District of Columbia
bills. Their schedule then was to call
up Tuesday the ship subsidy bill and
follow that with utilities or T. V. A.,
whichever was ready first.
r. A. C. A. Bill Also Scheduled.
Also, they hoped to sandwich in
the Federal alcohol control bill, over
which the potent House Ways and
Means Committee and Secretary Nor
genthau are at odds.
The Senate, meanwhile, had nothing
hot on tap for immediate considera-
tion, although committees were work.
ing hard on the omnibus banking and
A. A. A. amendment bills.
One high House leader, obviously
apprehensive, reminded that late in
the last Congress similar feeling of
dissatisfaction developed but failed
to reach its peak because Republican
f1libuster cemented the Democrats.
"The Republicans will be smart
enough not to filibuster again." this
chief added, still speaking privately.
"The whole difficulty is that the boys
have got shirt full of passing what
somebody else-in most cases probably
a rain-truster-gets on the must
list"
Vote on Loan Bill Sought.
A couple of other problems were
bothering the House leaders. They
learned yesterday that 1913 of the 217
signatures necessary had been put on
petition to force House vote on the
Fraier-Lemke farm mortgage ref
nancing bill
That measure has been an ever-pres-
ent problem to Democratic chiefs, who
had been asked by high administra-
ton leaders to keep it from coming to
a vote. The bill itself would call for
the issuance of $4,000, 100000 in cur
rency-more than the Patman bonus
bill-to ref1nance farm mortgages on
long-term amortization basis.
Until early last week there were less
than 180 names on that petition. Sew
