MONDAY, JAN. 81.
In the Senate on Monday routine mat
tiers and executive appointments occupied
the session. There was good deal of
wrangling over the nomination of James

Rico. The vote confirming the nomina-

debate Senator Hawley characterized an
article written by Senator Chandler more
than 20 years ago as a lie and the author

still stuck to his assertion. Mr.. Chandler
