ing much improved after his long rest.
The Senator said yesterday that his visit
to Hot Springs has proved beneficial TO him
and that he now feels no bad after effects
from the malsriai attack with which he
was taken about month ago. AS Chair
man OF the Committee on Privileges and

pecially timely. in view of the fact that
the opposing counsel in the Clark case will
begin their arguments on Wednesday of
this week.
