Only a. few amend ments were adopted during a week of debate and a final effort by liepubli can leaders to have the measure re committed with instructions to add two battleships, two scout cruisers and 10 destroyers was defeated. Only four representatives voted against passage of the bill, to 358 fa voring it, and as the rol1 call pro gressed the overwhelming majority of "ayes" stirred the Democrats to re peated cheering.
