BLANTON HOLDS
SEAT IN HOUSE
BY EIGHT VOTES
Texas Congressman Collapses
After Dramatic Hearing
And Public Censure
REPRIMAND is VOTED
Accused Legislator Defends
Self in Face of Hostility For
An Hour and 10 Minutes

WASHINGTON, Oct 27. - Saved
from, being thrown out of the house
of representatives by only eight votes
Thomas L. Blanton, Texas Demo
crat, was publicly reprimanded late
today by Speaker Gillette, in accord
ance with a resolution OF censure,
against which no man cast vote.
Then a moment later, as he walked
out of the chamber with all eyes on
him, he toppled over in heap. Some
of his colleagues who had voted TO
expel him picked and placed him on
a lounge. But he did not stay there
long. Rousing himself, he stumbled
out, tears streaming down his cheeks.
He was heard to express the hope
that he might never see the house
again.
There was no doubt, as members
expressed, the Texan WAS crushed
and worn by his experience of the
day. an experience that seldom comes
during the life of man in congress.
For an hour and ten minutes, with
hostile eyes on him, he fought TO de-
lend himself from the charge that
he had transgressed the law Dy put
ting into the congressional record
document described as ''unspeakably
vile"
Blanton DefenGs -s:i
Before he got up to speak, it was
the view of Republicans and Demo
Gratis that action upon the resolution
to eXpel him would depend on his
own attitude. He sat with folded
hands as Representative alonuell, Re
publican leader, pleaded to have him
cast out. And then, pale and smiling,
he stepped to the front as the leader
sat down.
His voice hoarse and broken, he
touched rapidly upon the charges, and
then his old time fighting fire re-
turned. At the beginning, he sad
he knew the house was prepared to
expel him.
When a rap of the gavel sounded
the end of the hour allotted him, he
stopped in the middle OF sentence
and turning upon his heels was half
way out when a request was made
from the Democratic side that he
have 80 additional minutes and was
opposed by Mondell. But the leader
was quick to withdraw his objection
and the Texan was resummoned.
Refusing at first to yield for Ques-
ticns, he permitted Representative
Longworth, Republican, Ohio, to ask
him something, and Republicans as
serted tonight that the reply had
turned the tide against him. The
Ohio member wanted to know if the
report was true that Blanton had de-
clared an intention to mail 100000
copies of the undelivered speech with
its offending affidavit. arter the house
had ordered it stricken from the re-
cord.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. = Presi-
dent Harding's address on the race
question at Birmingham evoked state
ments today from Democratic sena-
tors criticising his remarks and from
Republican senators commenting his
position.
Democrats who criticised the speech
included Senators Harrison, of Mis-
sisSippi. Watson of Georgia, Heflin of
Alabama. and McKellar, of Tennessee
Republicans who declared their ap-
proval included Senators Calder OF
New York: Spencer of Missouri, and
Willis Of Ohio.
The Democrats declared that the
presidents remarks were inopportune
and that his policies would tend to-
ward social equality of the negro with
the whites. Senator Watson of Geor-
gia, said the presidents speech was
unfortunate and mischievous."
I'VE are not going to permit social
or political equality of the kind the
president advocates" he declared.
Willis Backs Harding
Senator Willis said the presidents

There is no use in anybody get

added. The president has stated the
facts. The country will applaud Pres

ment and patriotism of purpose"
Senator McKellar declared the pres

II thoroughly endorse the presi-

Senator Heflin, in his statement,
said:
There is no escape from the con-
clusion that absolute political and
economic equality between the white
men and the negro means the wiping
out of all color line in the partnership
in business and in the election OF ne.
groes to office over white people. So

Harding, At Atlanta, Refrains
From Comment On Race Issues

ATLANTA, Oct. 81. - President
Harding concluded his visit to the
south today with speeches in Georgia,
reconsecrating his administration to
the task of finally obliterating Sec
tion divisions.
In two addresses here and one at
Columbus, he told cheering crowds
that it was one of his fondest hopes
to see his presidency bring north and
south into complete harmony and CO
operation.
At the statue here of Henry w.
Grady, Atlanta's apostle of national
reconciliation, Harding broadened his
gospel of understanding and good
will" to include all the world and
gave notice that if the armament con-
ference fails to bring the nations into
complete accord, 1T will be no fault
of the United States.

ton of armament and Pacific affairs,
on Sunday, November IL, rather than
on Armistice Day as originally sug-
gested, is expected tomorrow. State
department officials said today an

President Harding's return from the
south.
Officials who have given careful
study to the program for Armistice
Day, including the ceremonies for
the American unknown dead, are un-
derstood to have been unsuccessful
in their efforts to find a time for the
first meeting of the conference on
that day.

Commenting today upon the alleg-
ed statement, the Asahi says:
This is contrary to what is often
declared by the Japanese navy de-
partment. The Japanese navy de-
partment maintains the principle
that the japanese government
should keep in harmony with the
governments of other powers in con-
nection with the problem of navy re-
striction and carry out the principle
on the basis of mutually national
limitation to be arranged among the
powers concerned.

TOXIC, Oct. 27.-(By The Associ-

cerning the Japanese warship con-
struction program, which Vice Adj
mira Kanji KatO, member of the
Japanese delegation to the Washing
ton conference, is reported to have
made on his arrival at San Fran
cisco. has startled Japanese naval
authorities, according to the Asahi
Shimbun today.
Particularly surprising, it says,
was the dispatch which quoted Ad-
miral kato as saying:
"Japan's financial condition does
not allow the government to expend
an enormous amount for naval arm
