first day Of his craftsmanship in creditable
fashion.
The first thing in order was the reading
or the announcement OF the Senate's stand
ing committees. which are now completed
and ready for business. Most of the SEN
ators were in their seats during the read
ing, but on motion of members Senator
Stroup II Shea were granted lease of alb
sence.

mending to Congress immediate action to-
wards their relief. The resolutions were
referred 10 the committee on federal rela-
tons. Senator Hawkin introduced a res
