WASHINGTON, June 13.-
White House pressure, applied
a few hours after the Senate
broke Huey P. Longs 1512-
hour filibuster and passed the
NRA extension resolution,
this afternoon forced accept
ance by House leaders of
Senate amendments to the
resolution.
1t was expected that the revised
measure would be brought up in the
House tomorrow for concurrence in
the Senate changes. 1t would then
go to the White House.
Unless further difficulties de-
veloped, passage should be obtained
to insure continuance of the skele-
ton NRA which otherwise expires
Sunday.
House leaders went to the White
House today four hours after the
Senate finally passed the NRA ex-
tension at 6:14 a. m. Some of them
were indignant at an antitrust
amendment inserted in the bill by
the Senate. After the conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt, however, it was
announced that a fight to eliminate
the provision would not be made.
Roosevelt in Fighting Mood
Mr.. Roosevelt was in a fighting
mood.
In addition to asking House con-
currence on the Senate NRA reso-
luton, he told the conferees to hr-
ry action on the Wagner Connery
labor disputes bill and the Guffey
coal regulation measure.
Long talked himself hoarse and
into a near-collapSe in 1872 hours
Of almost continuous battle against
the resolution. Finally he yielded
the floor to Senator Thomas D.
Schall, blind Republican from Min
nesota.
In series of swift parliamentary
maneuvers, Administration leaders
broke the all-night f1libuster. This
done, 1t moved rapidly to reconsider
and eliminate the Gore amendment
which would have required Senats
confirmation of all Federal en-
ployes receiving $4,000 or more a
year
An amendment by Senator Will
liam E. BOrah (R., Idaho, contain
ing specific mention of antitrust
laws in connection with any volun-
tary agreements was adopted with
out a record vote.
AS the first rays of the sun
flicked the Capitol dome with gold
the extension resolution was
whipped through. It was also
passed without a record vote, but on
a subsequent roll call forced by Re-
publicans, the vote was Al for ex-
tension and 13 against.
The Senate then recessed until
Friday noon, when it will take up
consideration of the social security
bill.
Kingfish Loses Support
The collapse Of the filibuster, Sec
ond longest one-man Senate block
ade in history, was sudden. Admin
