SENATOR ROBINSON LEADS FIGHT

CONGRESS DOES LITTLE
Defic iecy Appropriation Bill, Flood
Control, Oil Scandal, Foreign

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Considera-
tion of the case of Senator-elect Wil-
liam S. Vare, Republican of Pennsyl-
vania, brought forth so much oratory
today in the Senate that a vote on the
proposal to deny him the oath of of-
fice, pending a further hearing was
deferred until tomorrow.
Senators who favor administering
the oath and deciding later whether
Vare is to finally be excluded opened
five hours of discussion and their ob-
servations stirred up the opponents
of that proposition with Senator Rob-
inson, the ,Democratic leader, contrib-
uting the principal, address against
giving the oath.
At intervals during the debate, the
original Norris resolution to exclude
Vare without ceremony was modified
to accord him the same treatment
meted out yesterday to Frank L.
Smith of Illinois--a hearing before the
special campaign funds committee
and the privilege of the floor to speak
on his own behalf before the exclusion
vote is recorded.
Move Otherwise Amended
The resolution was also amended
in other particulars, one change being
a direction to the committee to report
on the case within 60 days if prac-
ticable. This was proposed by Sen-
ator Robinson at the suggestion of
Senator Reed, Republican, Peunsyi-
vania, who is leading the fight for
Vare. Senator Reed said that he had
been advised by thetchairman of the
privileges and elections committee
that only 60 days would be required
for it to count the Pennsylvania bal-
lots in its consideration of the contest
brought against Vare by his Demo-
cratic opponent at the polls, William
B. Wilson, secretary of labor in the
Woodrow Wilson cabinet.
At the request of Senator Reed and
after a recess of 45 minutes, the sen-
ators also changed the Norris resolu-
tion to eliminate a statement about
retary.
As the members packed their grips j
for the trip back home, they made no
secret that they were gratified that
they could return with a definite an-
swer to the question of President Cool-
idge's part in the campaign. There {
were still a few who insisted that the
President was still open to the draft
in the event of a convention deadlock,
but by far the greater share believed
he had definitely closed the door to
further occupancy of the White House.I
