Attempt To Curb F. D. R.'s Power Meets Defeat
In Washington on March 22 the Senate defeated a string of amendments aimed at restricting President Roosevelt under the government reorganization bill.

The day featured repeated tied votes, including 41 to 41 and 38 to 38, all failing to adopt anti administration amendments.
