La Follette Holds Key To Congress Adjournment
Washington July 16 House Democrats watched Rep. Deen drive for early adjournment while Sen. LaFollette held the pivotal position. Leaders recalled he was promised a vote on a tax bill if he backed quick passage of a resolution extending 501 million dollars in nuisance taxes. If needed, LaFollette could be asked to release Democrats from their pledge. The senator has so far pressed for action this session. No worry was voiced by two top Democratic leaders.
