claring it WIS unjust TO the official report

vilege. IL.
Mr.. White in arguing the point said the
sentences OF the reporters notes had been

OF order. He insisted the rules OF the
House should be enforced. Mr.. White
The question OF order is whether members

should have the right TO have their re-
marks taken down correctly.

take his seat or proceed In order.
Mr.. White-"1 am stating facts"
The Speaker-"The question is not a
question of facts, it is a question whether

vilege."

gentleman from Illinois, Mr.. Springer, he
could not present the question OF order in
