LYNCHING AFTERMATH
LEGISLATION INTERFERED WITH. PENALTY FOR, MOB VIOLENCE. (U.P.A. by Elec. Tel, Copyright.) (Received April 22, 5.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, April 21. Sectional bitterness over the Federal intervention to prevent lynchings appeared to-day 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 Costignn announced that lie would press for consideration of the Bill bearing his name, assessing heavy monetary penalties on communities in which peace officials allow moh violence. Southern Senators organised a bloc with the avowed intention to filibuster the Bill to death. Therefore, unless Senator Costigan withdraws the Bill or a compromise is effected, it may he a matter of weeks before other legislation can he considered.
