senate action putting qew Impetus behind legislation to require the registration of lobbyists ' For the second time the senate approved a bill drawn by Chairman Black (D Ala) of the lobby committee but this time in such form that the measure goes next to conference with representatives of ths house which a week ago passed a measure directed at the same general purpose Law Certainty The maneuver engineered by Senator Robinson of Argansas the majority leader made the enactment of legislation at this session a certainty and partly removed at least In the minds of several members of the committee the necessity for continuing the investigation It was made clear however that whether or not the Inquiry goes on the committee will continue to fight the court move of William Randolph
