Senate deadlock persists over Interstate Commerce chair
Senate voting for the chair of the Interstate Commerce Committee again ends in a stalemate. Cummins holds 41 votes to 39 for Smith and 7 for Lafollette, still short of a majority. Lafollette’s bloc of seven rebels, plus Norris, Shipstead, and Johnson, want repeal or revision of the transportation act and oppose one person holding two key posts. The body adjourned after a third ballot with no clear winner, despite plans for further ballots and continued insurgent pressure.
