WASHINGTON, D. C.--The anti-lynching bill was approved, Monday, by a 10 to 3 vote of the Senate judiciary committee. This action sent the legislation to the Senate floor. Some southern senators already have given notice they were ready to talk the measure to death, if necessary, as they did when it came up there, two years ago. Senator Connally (D-Texas), who has led opposition to the bill, told reporters after the committee's overwhelming vote of approval: "We're going to resist it. The Mannerheim Line will not even be a starter."
