THE MAYF|ELD CASE
Congress Scheduled to Get Into Ac-
tion During Latter Part
of Week
-K-K-K-
xxx

Washington, D. C.-The Senate
committee on privileges and cleo
tions has not turned a wheel this
week owing to the absence of so
many members of Congress from the
city. Most of them are spending the
week at their various homes through
out the country and will not be back
in the Capital city until the first of
next week. Congress is scheduled to
reassemble on January 3 and then
things will begin to hum for the re-
mainder of the long session-maybe.
At the office of Senator Spencer,
chairman of the Senate committee
on privileges and elections, it is
learned that the subcommittee ap-
pointed to consider the evidence in
the contested Mayfeld case is SUBJ
ject to the call of the chairman. As
Senator Spencer is out of the city
for the remainder of this week it is
not believed the call for a meeting
of the subcommittee will be sent out
until some time next week. Before
leaving Washington for the holidays,
leaving Washington for the holidays,
Senator Spencer said he would call
the subcommittee together early in
January, and get the Mayfield case
started as early as possible, as he
was anxious to take up the case at
once and dispose of it as soon as pos
sible.
To Hold Hearings
The subcommittee that is to held
hearings in the Mayfield case and go
over the evidence presented is made
up of Senators Spencer of Missouri,
chairman; Ernst of Kentucky, Greene
of Vermont, Republicans; and Nee
ley of West Virginia and King of
Utah, Democrats.
1t is thought by some that this
subcommittee may 60 to Texas for
some of it's hearings in this case, as
most of the witnesses will come from
the Lone Star state. It is said none
of them will be adverse to a "jaunt
into Texas" and those interested in
Mayfield sincerely hope the commit
tee makes the trip. They feel that
the general "tone" and "Klan atmos-
phere" in Texas will only tend to
strengthen the well-established fact
that Senator Mayfield was sent to
Washington by the best citizens of
Texas at ratio of to 1 over those
interests who now oppose him on
purely a Klan issue. ..1
