WASHINGTON, April 21.
Sectional bitterness over Federal intervention to prevent lynchings appeared today as a formidable threat to retard the progress of the President's legislative programme. With such important administration measures as the N.R.A. Extension Social Security Bill and the Bank Reform Bill, which are still jammed in Committee. Senator Costigan announced that he would press for consideration of the Bill bearing his name assessing heavy monetary penalties on communities which allow mob violence. Southern Senators organised a bloc with the avowed intention of filibustering the Bill to death. Therefore, unless Senator Costigan withdraws the Bill or a compromise is effected it may be a matter of weeks before other legislation can be considered.
