Substitute Resolution Ends War Committee Probe Debate
Washington May 22 With under two minutes of debate the rift between President Wilson and the Senate eased as a viva voce vote adopted a substitute for the Chamberlain resolution. It bars a recess subcommittee but allows future investigations at the military committee's expense from the Senate contingent fund. The air craft inquiry is not blocked and the vote avoided a direct confidence test on the administration. Both sides call the outcome a victory and express mutual satisfaction.
