Adminis tration leaders won today the second round of the fight to repeal the tolls exemption provision of the Panama Canal act, when the Senate canals com mittee, by ,a vote of 8 to 6. ordered the House bill carrying the repeal reported to the Senate. Coupled with the bill will be reported an amendment pro posed by Senator Simmons and ap proved by the committee, which reads as follows: "Provided that neither the passage of this act, nor anything therein con tained, shall be construed or held as waiving, impairing or affecting any treaty or other right possessed by the United States."

It provided that the passage of the act should not be Construed as an admission that the United States has no right to exempt Its coastwise ships from tolls. It was beaten 10 to 4.
