Crumpacker has been afforded
another opportunity to show him
self in Congress. Realizing that
indignant congressman from the
South would probably introduce a
resolution calling for all the
papers in the hands Of the Presi-
dent and Postmaster General
bearing on the closing Of the Indi-
anOla pOstOflce, these two cOnspiC-
uOus characters the other day had
their tool, Crumpacker, offer a
resolution asking for the papers in
the hands OF the Postmaster Gen.
eral. But this trick is not likely
to work out exactly as planned,
since the Democratic members
from this state are more than
ready for the fray. They will
offer amendments to the Crumpac-
ker request that must be accepted
as so fair that they will hardly be
denied. These amendments will
call for all the papers in the case,
whether in the hands of Payne or
