Work Done

This week the Senate:

> With almost evenly divided opinions, and studied calm, listened quietly as debate began on extending the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act for three years. Said Senator Pat Harrison (Dem., Miss.): to abandon the policy of tariff-making by the President and State Department would mean a new and vast trade war. Opposed to the bill, Senator Key Pittman (Dem., Nev.) insisted that all trade agreements should have the approval of two-thirds of the Senate. Only disturbance occurred when a chair leg collapsed, dumped surprised Senator McCarran (Dem., Nev.) on the floor.

> Approved in the Judiciary Committee, by a vote of 11-to-4, the dynamite-loaded Anti-Lynching Bill. If it gets to the Senate floor, the bill would set off a filibuster that would blow all other business out the door.

> We're going to resist it," Texas' Senator Tom Connally promised grimly. "The Mannerheim Line will not even be a starter."
