Washington, July 3.-(AP)-Lead-
ers on both sides of the Senate court
hill fight asked all senators today to
no present for the opening of the big
battle Tuesday.
The lineup on the substitute meas
IRE. offered by administration sena-
tors Yesterday, was so close that
chieftains of both friends and foes
wanted to be ready for any surprise
move.
Although no test votes were ex-
nocted during the first few days OF
the debate, the situation was the
tensest since the Democrats gained
their overwhelming Senate majority
in 1888.
Supporters of the administration
substitute said they had 81 sure votes.
Opposition leaders said there were at
least 10 votes against it, and chal-
lenged the claim of the other side.
Even with 81 votes, the administra-
ton would have a margin of only five
over a majority. 1t would have to keep
its entire strength within reach at
all times to prevent being upset by a
surprise maneuver.
Neither side was certain OF its
strength on the many possible par
liamentary moves.
AS was the case with the original
measure. the fate of the new proposal
rests largely with a big group OF pub
liclv-uncommitted senators.

Washington, July 5.-Congress' in4

It is too technical.
The average individual evidently

at all in some cases. Lawyers for the
alleged "avoiders" have been so slick

whole thing makes scarcely any sense
at all to the ordinary layman.
The alleged avoiding has been
done in accordance with the laws re-
