Vice President Hobart read the first
heading of the story in The Times's s
extra yesterday afternoon.

comment.
We'll how do you feel on the sub

''I don't feel" was the response, as Mr..
Hobart broke away from the interview.
Senator Money of Mississippi had read
but the first paragraph when he cried,
Indignantly:
This is an American question. I'm op-
posed to anyone interfering in this matter
