SENATE VOTES TO
JDJOU1 SPECIAL
EXASTERATED SENATE LEAD
ERS SMOTHERED THE
OPPOSITION
WASHINGTON, Nov.. 21. T/PT—
Over-riding the opposition of
the “Young guard” republicans
and tariff tired, the senate voted
to adjourn the special session
on Friday night for a week’s
respite before the regular ses
sion.
Convinced that the tariff meas
ure had to go to the regular ses
sion whether the Senate met or
did not meet next week the action
exasperated many but Senate
leaders smothered the opposi
tion when the self-style-d “Hoov
er regulars” renewed their anti
adjournment stand.
Faction leaders insisted the ad
journment would not kill the
tariff legislation; Chairman Smoot
of the finance committee and
in charge of the bill for the
administration, said he would
call the legislation up at the reg
ular session as soon as disposi*
tion is made of the contest
against beating Senator elect
Vare of Pennsylvania.
