 After strenuous debate, which for 2. moment seemed to threaten a physical encounter portion of Representative Mann's remarks were ordered expungeG from the record by vote of 152 to 66. The matter expunged was a remark made by the minority leader, when Repre- sentative Heflin recalled q speech MT. Mann had made two years ago at the time of the suffrage parade in Washing ton when a girl was insuted. MT. lief lin declared that Mir. Mann insisted the young woman should have remained al home.
 Tt would have been better for the young girl to be at home than in that parade,' said MT. Mann in reply, flor fear the gentleman from Alabama should have seen her: he would have been sure to insult her.
 I'proar followed this remark by tho minority leader, Representative Jones of Virginia, joining with Representative lief lin in demanding accurate recording of the statement.
 q repudiate that staten ent," MT. lief lin stated. Tt is that of a man unworthy of seat on this floor It is without foundation and unjustified from any source."
 After the remark had been expunged frcnl the record debate ensued on the Mann amendment which would provide suffrage for women in the Philippines and in this a colloquy between the Illi- rois and Alabama members during which Representative Heflin declared:
