Seal strategy to capture the

from the Democrats, Senator
Wherry (R. of Neb.i minority
whip told the NNPA that “the
action of the Republicans was
really voluntary.” He added,
however, that from a political
point of view, he thought it a
smart move for the Republi¬
cans to make, but that it did
not come about from that con¬

thrown a bombshell into politi

Less than a week before, the
Senate killed the poll tax bill
by failure to adopt a motion
for cloture to limit debate
The proposed constitutional
amendment was introduced by
Senator Wherry following a

action was backed by a peti¬
