Senator Thomas F. Dempsey
Democrat of Baltimore City
yesterday said he did not be.
lieve he could change any votes
on the Pimlico bill which was
defeated Monday night by q
1914 vote.
House Speaker John C. Lubei
said the House Rules Commit

already passed by the Senate,
because the Ways and Means

viving it in the Senate where 1t
was defeated Monday night.
Sails Through House Unit
The anti-casino bill sailed
through the House Judiciary
Committee yesterday and then
got tentative approval of the
flIll House. But there were in
dications a floor fight might
be staged on final passage to-
day.
In the Senate a similar bill
ran into a major roadblock as
Senator Thomas B. r. Mudd,
Republican of Charles County,
won a 24-hour delay on a vote
on the measure.
But the bills champion, Sem
ate Minority Leader Henry T.
Phoebus. scored a major VIC
tory yesterday with a 1873 vote
in his battle to keep the bill
from being sent back to the
Senate Judicial Proceeding
Committee.
Pressed by Wheatley
The re-referral. scored as an
attempt to kill the bill by SEN
ator Phoebus. was pressed by
Senator H. Winship Wheatley
jr., Democrat of Prince Georges
County.
Both Senator Wheatley and
Senator Edward S. Northrop,
Democrat of Montgomery, sup
ported opponents Of the bill in
the move to delay action.
Senator Northrop. who said
he favors passage of the bill,
explained his vote to postpone
it as a means of making certain
there were no 'loopholes" in
the bill.
Senator Wheatley also is ex-
pected to vote for the bill when
it comes up for a final count.
Prepare Amendments
Senator Mudd, in succeeding
to lay over the bill for one
day, said he was doing so to
prepare amendments. However,
he declined to describe the
changes he would propose.
The actual poStponement
came only after Attorney Gen.
eral c. Ferdinand Sybert ap-
peared on the Senate floor with
a quick" opinion requested by
Judicial Proceedings Chairman
Frederick c. Malkus. Mr.. Sy-
bert said he felt certain that
Virginia could cope with the
situation if the Virginia legis-
latorS so desire.
