When Skipper Kennedy of the . maritime commission opens blda Thursday for 28 obsolete ships rusting on their hawsers, he will end. temporarily at least, one of the most tangled of legislative wrangles. It was the scrap over "scrap. By virtue of Mr. Kennedy's action, the government Itself, has decided that It's all right to sell our Junked metal to foreigners as well as Americans. This does not mean, however, that th question Isn't still alive. In fact, there Is plenty of pressure to keep this natural resource at home, but bills to stop the exportation of steel and Iron scrap, fought over by pow erful lobbies, are now slumbering In committees. These measures have as strange a combination, of bedfellows for spon sors as one meets In many a political moon. For stopping exportation are the army and navy, "in the Interest of national defense." Hand In hand and side by side ere the pacifists, but for a different reason of course, stop ping armament abroad. And right In step with this remarkable partner ship are the big steel companies, cheering both the other two, but with, a reason of their own. They won't admit It, but what the steel manufacturers are really Inter ested In Is controlling the scrap mar ket, since steel is the one essential to steel making which the Industry does not control now. Opposed to limiting exportation are aligned the united millionaire junk men of the nation. Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat of Washington, Introduced the first bill to forbid the exportation of steel plate scrap except upon special li cense issued by the President. But suddenly (another paradox) he drop ped It Into the lap of Senator Austin. Republican of Vermont, who fingered It very lightly, not sure, apparently, whether It was a butterfly or a hor net. .

O'Mahoney had risen to Interrupt Logan. Robinson made a point ot order that O'Mahoney had no right to Interrupt. Pittman upheld Robin son, but O'Mahoney continued speak ing and drew the rebuke. After Robinson spoke of his In tention to employ the little-used antl- filibustering rule Senator ' Wheeler (D., Mont.), opposition leader, coun tered with a warning that he would block consideration of other legisla tion while the court bill fight was on.
