Saying the new college would BE- a
contribution to the Nation, as well
as the church. Bishop McNamara told
his listeners:
This country spends more on edu-
cation than any other. But its annual
crime bill Is also the greatest in the
world. We should be learning by now
that there Is no morality without
religion"
The Rev. John Cartwright, pastor
OF the Church Of the immaculate

BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Predictions of an imminent show
down in the Senate,s anti-lynching
filibuster brought expressions OF con-
fidence today from both supporters
and foes of the controversial bill.
Senator Connally, Democrat. Of
Texas, leader OF the Southern oppo.
nents, said there were enough speak
ers to continue talking against the
measure until the pressure of other
legislation forces proponents to
shelve 1t.
Il think we've got 1t beaten" said
Senator Bailey. Democrat, of North
Carolina. THE longer it is debated.
the more apparent it becomes that 1t
should not pass"
Some administration Senators, how
ever, forecast that night sessions would
be ordered soon and that such a step
would cause the filibuster to collapse
A few even talked Of limiting debate
although opponents declared they
could block that proposal.
Reorganization Ready.
Senator Barkley OF Kentucky, the
Democratic leader, said he had not
yet decided when night sessions might
be held.
so far" he asserted, "the debate
has kept fairly close to the bill under
consideration" He emphasized that
the administration is not taking
sides" in the anti-lynching fight.
Senator Barkley and other admin
istration leaders have been hopeful
some decision could be reached soon
so that the Government reorganization
bill. next on the Senate calendar, can
be taken up.
The crop control and housing bills
on which joint committees still are
trying to agree-may be ready soon
for Senate and House approval.
Farm Bill Work Goes On.
The farm conferees began their
third week of sessions today. Senator
Smith, Democrat, Of South Carolina,
said he would hold night sessions If
necessary to complete work this week.
Illness of Senator Wagner, Demo-
crat. Of New York. an author of the
housing bill, has delayed that measure,
but a conference agreement was ex-
pected within few days.

tee scrutinized the House-approved bill
