No Traces Of Addiction.
Atropine, from belladonna plants,
and morphine are both alkaloids.
Atropine is slightly sedative, but in
large doses depresses the heart
dangerously. The new synthetic gets
rid of the heart depression and takes
on the pain relief of morphine.
DR.. Batterman said it had proved
satisfactory and safe on more than
800 human beings, most of whom
would have needed opiates. No evi-

had relieved visceral or digestive

Senate Recess SOUGHT,
But Demands Persist
For Labor Law Action
Move TO Put 40-Hour Week
Suspension in Small
Business Bill Fails
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate leaders discussed today
the possibility Of joining the
House in a recess for a week or
DO days, but advocates of war
labor legislation asked assurance
that their proposals would be
given consideration as soon as
Congress resumed work.
Majority Leader Barkley told re-
porters that many Senators favored
a brief, informal recess, but that he
was opposed to giving labor legisla-
ton the right Of way at the end of
any holiday that might be agreed on.
Senator Connally, Democrat, of
Texas said, however, that he would
move to take up his proposal to
empower Government seizure of war
plants and the freezing of labor rela-
tions to prevent or halt strikes as
soon as pending legislation to aid
small business has been disposed of,
probably today.
Senator Barkley expressed willing
ness to have such a motion remain
the pending business during any re-
cess, although he said he would op-
pose its adoption whenever the
chamber began debate on it, con-
tending that new labor legislation
should not be considered at this
time.
Also awaiting disposition by the
Senate were several appropriation
bills, and an $18. 900 100000 supple
mental defense measure was pend
ing in an appropriations subcom-
mittee.
Leaders were understood to be
anxious to complete Senate action
on this measure before taking any
recess, although a proposed war
profits limitation attached by the
House promised lengthy controversy
The Senate rejected on a voice
vote yesterday efforts by Senator
ODaniel, Democrat, of Texas to
write labor regulations into the
pending small business bill.
Senator ODaniel proposed sus-
pension of the 40-hour week. aboli-
ton of overtime pay, outlawing of
closed-shop contracts and GRIM
inal penalties for keeping a worker
from his job by violence or threats.
Proponents of the small-business
measure protested that Senator
O'Daniel'S amendments would jeop-
ardize the fate of the bill and OBJ
jected that they had not been given
committee consideration.
