Representative Fitzgerald OF New
York. one OF the Democratic leaders
in the rule fight, retorted for the

Representative Underwood. OF Ala
bama. Joined Mr. Fitzgerald In frank
ly admitting that he thought the
Speaker was right in his ruling last
March and that he ruled In line with
the presidents Of the House.

Representative Sims OF Tennessee,

would rather be ignorantly honest
than knowingly dishonest" he said.
Representative Hardy, of Texas,
took Mr.. Sims to task for employing
such harsh language. He said the
whole truth was that Mr.. Sims did
not believe in false pretenses and
neither did he.
Today Representative Fuller. OF
Illinois, offered a resolution amend
ing the rule regulations to the dis
charge of committees from the con-

technical. A point Of order was rails
