Show CLAIM & COUNTER-CLAIM Could Anti-Red Bill Win Congress' Okay? Could a bill to control Communist Commu-nist activities in the United States win approval of congress? There was some squabbling about the question with claim and counterclaim counter-claim being hurled. Senator Ferguson (R., Mich.) claimed he could line up top-heavy support for such a measure, but said he expected the administration's administra-tion's leaders would try to block action on it. That forecast of Democratic Dem-ocratic intentions burned majority leader Scott Lucas, of Illinois. He promptly retorted that Ferguson was "just talking politics." But Ferguson told reporters he was convinced the administration is opposing passage of the bill and that the . difficulty was in getting senate leaders to bring it up for action. |
