TILT IN SENATE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senate proceedings opened today
with a brief parliamentary tilt as a
result of which republican senators
were forced to listen to an editorial
from the Washington Post, assailinS
them for lack of leadership. 1t was
first offered by Senator Harrison,
democrat, Mississippi. under the ''pe-
titions and memorials" order of busi-
ness, but despite plea by Senator
King, democrat, Utah, that it was a
petition calling upon republican lead
ers to do something" Senator Har-
rison was taken off his feet when
Senator Lodge, republican leader, de-
manded regular order"
The Mississippi senator remained
in ambush until a Texas local bill
popped UP for immediate passage,
then got the editorial read by the
clerk as the only comment made in
the Senate on that measure
Senator Brookhart, republican, Iowa,
asked IL the Post wasn't owned by
the same Ned Mclean we have been
hearing about in committee" and If
the editorial didn't indicate that Nc
Lean was 'perilously near to going
into the democratic party.

MIXED COMPLAINTS
ON SHIP FREIGHT RATE
Board Chairman Sees Inspired 0p-
position to Section 28 of

Foreign shipping interests are in
spring protests against enforcement
of section 2S of the merchant marine
act, Vice Chairman Plummer of the
Shipping Board said last night in a
statement commenting on patches of
letters received by him from all sec
tions of the Atlantic seaboard. The
section provides lower domestic
freight rates for goods shipped in
American bottoms.
"The significant part of this CORE
spondence," said Mr.. Plummer "is
that from New England come declara-
tions that this act will destroy the
foreign shipping business of New
England and will give 1t to the ports
of New York and the south. From
the south come protests that it dis
eliminates against the south and
gives the business to New York and
New England. Next Monday there is
TO be a meeting in New York city pro-
testing that this section diScriminates
against the port of New York and
will give business to New England
and the southern ports.

come from the state of New York two
letters, one protesting vehemently be-
