fend the Injunction suit of William

Two Democratic members Of the
committee, who oppose the action

was said to be a strict party vote,
with Republican members oppoS-
ing the resolution.
Chairman O'Connor CD of
New York, of the committee, said
the resolution probably will be
called up for action in the House
next week.
Republican members Of the
committee served notice that q
bitter fight will be waged against
the proposal to vote the funds for
defense of the Injunction suit.
Champion Harris, Birmingham
attorney, already has been re-
tanned by the Black committee.
Some of the Democratic mem
bers, it was indicated, also may
join in the fight.
Party leaders in the House
threw their full support behind
the resolution. Representative

cratic leader, may personally
direct the fight in behalf of the

The possibility Of heated de-
bate was enhanced by the fact
that the Black lobby committee
