Chairman Spencer OF the Senate
committee hearing the contest over
the seat of Senator Mayfield, Demo-
crat, Texas, announced yesterday that

mission was given for a reopening OF

contesting Mayfield's election, would
be allowed, under the plan. to enter
evidence as to whether in six specific

there had been intimidation or duress
used to affect the casting of ballots.
Senator Mayfelds counsel would be
notified in advance as to what dis
tricts are chosen by Peddy The COM
mittee expects to sit in Washington

At the conclusion of the last Con-
gress the committee held that the

Americans has just returned from
three months travelling in Persia
during which they saw no sign of the
feeling which led to the recent fatal
attack on American Vice Consul
Imbrie. They carried no arms, not
even a revolver, relying solely on the
recommendation which the head OF
the Bahtiara tribe made in intrust-
ing the party to the hospitality Of the
tribe.
''The party included two men and
one woman. Their experiences carried
them not so much to the towns as
among the nomadic tribes whose
customs they studied. They accom-
panied the Bahktiara tribe on Its
migration northward for almost three
months, the woman using a. tent
while the men lived with the natives.
