House tho circumstances sur
rounding the case and showed that
no has had lengthy correspond

subject.
Az is woll known Mr.. Strait fail
od to name n cadot from his dis

Secretary Herbert thoreupon ap-
pointed young Brockway, who is a
resident of Alabama. Mr.. Strait
argued that his rights as repre-
sentative of tho 9th district of South
Carolina had been invaded by the
Secretary Of tho Navy. Represen-

bnt it was to emphasize the fact that
these naval cadetships belong to
tho Congressional districts and not
to the Individual Representatives.
The resolution simply declares that
