But even then ths passage of the bill wes not had without another blast 'from the - Demo-, crate that was not answered by -the Re publican.

' Today waa announced a significant change In the committee. It Is the drop ping of Millard of Nebraska and the aubstitutioa of W. Murray . Crane of Macsachusetts.
