In the expectation that final action
on the measure as a whole will be
reached during the week. Senator
Chamberlain, in charge of the bill,
was determined to secure, if possible,
an unanimous consent agreement for
a vote Thursday. Unless an agree

time, he plans to invoke the cloture
rule.
The senate today took up the bill's
section which would authorise the
president commandeer factories,
packing' houses, mines and other
plants and to operate them and fix
employers' wages. There is consider
able opposition to these proposals.
Pending a final decision by con
gress on the liquor question revenue
and other related problems cannot be
worked out. The senate voted Satur
day to prohibit manufacture and im
portation of distilled beverages only
and the house stands recorded for
prohibiting manufacture of all intoxicants.
