This date was agreed upon at a conference late to day at which the views ef both the pTO-liorlmer and antl-Lo-rlmer sena tors were voiced. . The agreement, however, was with the understanding that In the event of the adjournment of congress ear- - liar- than July t, the voting time would be advanced so that the case would be finally disposed of at this session. The "llgislalive day of July l ss fixed by she resolution would give considerable latitude over the calen. dar data If necessary, by receases In stead ot adjournments, the "legisla tive day" could be prolonged several days. That, however. Is not expected. The senate's action was unanimoua From now on speechmakJng on the Lorlmer case virtually will be sus pended until near the voting date.
