If Chairman Hatton W. Sumners, of the Committee, declines to bring up the pro- posal, Speaker Garner said, Congressman Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, would da it. “I am geing to keep faith with the American people,” said Speaker Garner. *“No man living ever can say I have not kept faith with my friends and constituents and this time the American peo- ple compose my constituency and I am going to keep faith with them, rewardless of what others do.” DENY REQUEST The Judiciary Committee’s refusal to bring the resolu- tion up for a vote came at a meeting yesterday called by Chairman Sumners, seeking authority to submit the pro- posal to the House on Mon- day, under the procedure of confining debate to 40 min- utes and preventing any amendments. Seven Southern Democrats and six Republicans joined in defeating the request.
