today says: A desperate attempt was
hade early Wednesday morning to
destroy the Allis Chalmers plant at

nearly all the time of my Con
gressional service. Mr.. Smith
has had frequent occasion to
come before that Committee and
to confer with me publicly and
privately about legislation affect

dition to this | have seen him al
most daily during the sessions of

He has attended to his committee
