"Will you not with your unlim

Vandenberg said he was ready
to "go forward with any 'party'
old, new, or fused which prom'
ises : liberalism with sanity, so-
cial-mindedness without social
ism" and a restoration of "equi
table economic fundamentals."

The senate's blustery and tem

against antl-lynchlng legislation
halted tonight to permit action
on the top item of the president's
special session program crop
control.
Democratic Leader Barkley ar
ranged r to bring up the farm
bill for debate tomorrow, and
predicted it would be ' passed
within a week.
On the house side of the cap-
itol, however, farm legislation
still lagged. Chairman Jones (D-
Tex.) of the agriculture commit
tee there reported his group was
taking its time but hoped to get
a bill ready for action this week,
if not in the next day or two.
, Nevertheless, there were
strong indications the house
would get down to action on ad
ministration matters tomorrow.
It was whispered about the leg
islative halls the democratic
leadership was planning a coup
on the bill to regulate minimum
wages and maximum working
hours.
Coup on 'Wage Bill
Rumored in Honse
That measure is caught in
rules committee trap sprung last
session. If 218 house members
sign a pending petition, the com
mittee will be forced to release
the ' measure and permit action
on the floor. Nearly a week has
passed since the petition was
tiled,, and it still lacks aout,70
of the necessary signatures. : ""
So, it was reported, Demo
cratic Leader Rayburn of Texas
intended to march to the ros
trum tomorrow, sign the petition
and then make a speech. The
leadership was hopeful more
than enough signatures then
would be obtained quickly.
The leaders have had this pro

Homer Martin, international pres

down strikers out of the General

a dramatic demonstration of the
union's determination to curb un

The strikers had held the plant
since Wednesday evening, defying
the union and even their own

the plant, the men emerged and

until "the latter part of the week"
could all of the 14,721 men thrown

the alternative of accepting wheat

section of the. house agricultural

control over-wheat production or
see wheat go down to two-bits
(25 cents) a bushel in 1938," he
asserted.) - r
He said the farm bill, as it
