McKellar, Tydings of Maryland, RBlease, of South Carolina, and King, of Utah, bore the brunt of the speech making which ran through the night and morning, but the pro- ponents of the measure as its stands, led by Norris, of Nebraska, stood their ground firmly . Never through- out the long hours was there the slightest sign of surrender or com- promise on their part.
