istration to tell veterans where
there's chance of enrolment for
the fall term, although all four
plan to enroll veterans in numbers
ranging from 200 to 1000, 1t was

The survey released last night

universities here and that their
absence from the list Indicates that
they already are full" He said he
would be unable, without first con-

The administration moved
yesterday for a Senate show
down on the beleaguered British
loan bill with a bipartisan "clo-
ture" petition automatically
forcing vote at l pm. Tuesday
on the question of limiting de-
bate.
This move came as one high ad-
ministration leader told reporters he
thought the loan bill would pass the
Senate by margin of IL to 1S, pro-
vided all amendments can be de-
feated. He said, however, that even
the administration has been unable
to make an accurate poll on the
measure.
The motion to invoke the rarely
used cloture rule was made by SEN
ator Ball, Republican, of Minnesota
after Democratic Leader Barkley
mad made three vain efforts to cut
through the cloud of words which
has prevented any test vote on the
$3,750,00O credit proposal since it
was taken up April Is.
Senator Barkley sought unani-
nous consent to limit each Senator
to an hours discussion beginning
Monday. Senator Johnson, Demo-
crat, of Colorado, en opponent of
the loan, objected. Senator Barkley
