It followed party lines, although threc democrats supported it and 16 republicans opposed it. Generally speaking, leaders said, it did not indicate the lineup when the house votes on final passage Nov. 29. Immediately after the action of the house, democrats agreed at a party cau- cus to stand solidly against the measure, enactment of which was urged yesterday by President Haeding in an address to a joint session of congress. One demcrat at the caucas—O'Connor of Louisiana— served notice that he would not be bound by the decision, at the same time an- nouncing he was in favor of the bill. The three democrats joining republi- cans jn the move to get the measure be- fore the house were O'Connor, Lea, Cali- fornia, and McDuffie, Alabama. Republi- cans voting against it were Beck.
