By II. R. BI RKIIAGK
(Copyright, 1937, by the North Amer
ican Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
WASHINGTON. July 8. 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. . Not so the bill's sponsor in the

Both administration and opposi

employ every possible technicality In
their bitter lntra-party fight.
Among the first so to act was Ad
ministration Leader Robinson who
said that during the fight be would

rule designed to hinder filibuster

with the senate as near to com
plete disorder as It has been In
years, Senator Pittman (D., Ncv.)
president pro-tempore, rebuked Sen

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

After Robinson spoke of his In
tention to employ the little-used antl-
filibustering rule Senator ' Wheeler

block consideration of other legisla
