By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
Informed administration Senat tors
predicted yesterday that night ses-
sions Of the Senate would be held this
week in an effort to wear down the
filibuster of Southerners against the
anti-lynching bill
Although they declined to predict
the outcome. these administration
Senators expressed confidence that
the controversial anti-lynching meas
ure either would be shelved or passed
under pressure Of the prolonged ses-
sions.
The hlibuster has been blocking
action on major administration legis-
lation.
Debate was interrupted for an hour
yesterday while Senator Sheppard,
Democrat, Of Texas. author Of the
Eighteenth Amendment. delivered his
annual address on the anniversary of
prohibition.
Senator Ellender, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, then took up the fight.
announcing he planned to consume
the rest OF the afternoon and perhaps
tomorrow's session as we'll. Yester-
day was the ninth day given over to
the anti-lynching bill debate.
The Louisiana Senator said the
same Negro groups which used ''propa-
ganda to obtain laws giving them So
cial equality with white people in
some States" were influencing" pro-
ponents Of anti-lynching legislation.
He said he would propose an amend
ment to the bill prohibiting inter-
marriage Of whites and Negroes.
which he said was not now prohibited
in 10 States.
1T may not be constitutional" he
declared. but believe 1t will be just
~ constitutional as this BILL
Senator Tydings. Democrat, Of
Maryland. told Senator Ellender he
was consistently inconsistent" be-
cause he had voted for legislation per-
hitting the Federal Government to
take q hand In labor disputes. but
was opposing the anti-lynching bill
on the ground 1t violated States
rights
I'VE can't adopt the principle Of
States rights only when it appears
to be beneficial. II it's right, it's
right oil the way through" Senator
Tydings asserted.
Senator Ellender replied that the
labor legislation to which Senator
Tydings referred dealt With inter-
state commerce.

Reject Offer of Posts in
New Cabinet-Premier.
Designate Hopeful.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. Jan. l5.-The Peoples Front
tonight split anew over Financier-
diplomat George Bonnet's efforts to
give France new government.
The Socialist group in the Chamber
OF Deputies voted unanimously to re-
fuse to participate In or support q
Bonnet cabinet after the Radical
Socialist premier designate offered
Socialists posts In his prospective
ministry.
NJ Bonnet made the offer in an
interview with Deputy Albert Scroll,
chairman of the Chamber OF Socialists,
who Immediately communicated with
the group. The vote followed.
Awaits Formal Letter.
The premier designate announced
he was awaiting a formal letter from
the Socialist party confirming this
stand before taking another step.
The former Ambassador to Wash
ington formally accepted President
Albert Lebrun's cabinet mandate after
= day Of political jockeying to find 4
successor to Camille Chautemps.
NJ Bonnet's own party. the Radical
Socialists, approved his assumption Of
the task provided he form another
Peoples Front government. Com
munists. Socialists and the Radical
Socialists composed the Peoples Front.
His principal problem was to win
support of Socialists who demanded .
Socialist premier since they have the
largest single parliamentary repre-
sentation.
Confident Of Success.
M. Bonnet. finance minister in the
retiring Chautemps government, ap-
parently was confident he could over
come the Socialist opposition and
weld q cabinet capable OF dealing
with Frances labor and monetary
troubles which contributed largely
to resignation Of the Chautemps
government early Friday.
He declared his program would be
similar to that Of his predecessor and
said he would press efforts for = code
Of social peace to pacify labor.
In addition to the premiership he
indicated he would keep the finance
portfolio.
Shortly before Bonnet went to the
Eysee palace to accept. the Socialists
had expressed opposition to = Radical
Socialist premier and the Communists
took = similar stand. calling for q
meeting Of all Peoples Front deputies
to consider the crisis.
Demands Front Stay Intact.
The General Confederation OF Labor
added its weight to keeping the three
left wing parties in line by proclaim
ing that ut Is necessary to keep the
Peoples Front intact"
Though M. Bonnet accepted the
cabinet task, the situation was still
confused by refusal Of Socialist Leon
Blum. chief Of the first Peoples Front
government, to support M. Bonnet's
program for = conservative solution
Of pressing labor and financial prob
lens.
With their Communist allies the
Socialists have demanded . controlled
foreign exchange As partial solution
Of monetary difficulties.
The threat Of further labor COM
plications appeared when q spokesman
for the Chemical Workers Union in
the Valenciennes district said workers

meet soon to discuss sympathy strikes
supporting other Walkolts.
