 And what happened? The Euro pean stock market sagged in alarm. European speculators evidently thought Kennedy and Bullitt knew more of what was going on in Eu- rope than Europe did. Maybe so.
 But the New York stock market, hearing the same reports, pubbled right along, undisturbed by wars or rumors of wars. Wall Street at tributed the Bullitt-Kennedy show to politics"

 The rule in question calls for a two thirds majority on any motion to suspend the rules, and so, after the Rules Committee was called in to straighten the tangle, 1t was found today that House Bill No. ' was still second reading, although it was ad- vanced this morning to third read- ing with little trouble.
 Today, the measure went to third reading and final debate at 11:30, with a recess customary at noon. Op- ponents fought against it.
