Sen. Carl A. Hatch (D., N. M.) a senate conferee, said he and other advocates of the federal war ballot approved by the senate had made every possible concession to supporters of the state's rights plan, but were doubtful that it would help a compromise. Senate conferees cannot give more ground without "surren dering," he said, adding that if the house persists in attempts to throw out the federal ballot completely, no new law will be written. Rep. Harris Ellsworth (R., Ore.) said the best solution would be to adopt the state's rights bill approved by the house to give the states some specific plan on which to work. Court Circuit.
