EXPECTS LOGAN BILL'S PASSAGE

VanNuys Predicts Support Would Override Veto of F. D. R.

Dimer Special WASHINGTON, May 8--Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind) predicted today that prompt action will be taken by the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Walter-Logan

Bill. He expects overwhelming support for its passage in the Senate. As a Committee member, Senator | VanNuys voted to take up the bill after Senator Alben Barkley, Democratic Floor Leader, pleaded for a delay until next session. The Committee vote was unanimous and a subcommittee went to work at once to make some clarifing amendments in the measure as passed by the House. It was to be back before the full committee today. In asking for delay and further) study of the bill, Senator Barkley predicted that its passage now will meet with a veto by President) Roosevelt, Senator VanNuys pre-| dicted that both the House and] Senate will pass the bill over the veto. “I am for it a ton,” Senator VanNuys said. “It is safe to say that it will go over with a bang both in the Judiciary Committee and on the Senate floor. It has been approved by the American Bar Association | and the Bar Associations of 38] states, including Indiana.” But Senator Sherman Minton (D, Ind.), majority whip, is just as much opposed to the measure as his senior colleague is for it. He doubts, however, that the bill's foes will prevent passage, but said they may prevent over-riding a presidential “Any sane President would veto such a bill,” Senator Minton said.

or all of the 13 marbles are out of the ring. In a more restricted game, like the finals where only four compete, a miss isn't fatal and the best shot stands a better chance to win on his average performance, In the sectional, a fair contestant might flash, winning over better competition. It's largely a matter of skill, but there's also that cagey factor of luck which always manages to creep into the game, So even the fair to middling players always have a chance to win, at least that bronze medal for the sectional champion.
