But there are few able lawyers who
are inclined to believe that there may

that the Senate is wasting its time"

In Contempt Of the Senate

\ bold defiance of the powers OF
Congress was brought about by the
refusal OF Harry F. Sinclair, the ''prin-
ci2al' in the Teapot Dome affair, to
answer questions put to him BY the oil
investigating committee. As is well
known. the Senate has held him in
contempt. there being but one Senator
TO vote against certifying the matter
to the courts. Before Sinclair was put
on the stand. his attorney occupied a
whole morning in explaining to the
Senate committee the position OF his
client in challenging the rights OF the
committee. and then the committee
took the matter under Amusement un-
Ill the following day before putting
Sinclair on the stand. Thus it is clear
that the contempt was not occasioned
by clash OF temperament between
examiners and the Witnesses; but on
the contrary the refusal was deliberate.
and Intended as a bold challenge to
the Senate.
OF course Sinclair has only added
10 his unpopularity in the Teapot
Dome scandal. but it is his teapot
and not his reputation that he is hgat-
ing for in this instance. The Wash
ington Post, in commenting on the
issue raised in behalf OF Sinclair.
says that "the reports of court de-
ciSions on matters of this sort are
benightingly short. In the few in
stances in which the question of Con-
gressional investigate power has been
raised, the courts have avoided COM
mitment as to the real issues Evil
IDENTIFY having in mind the recent SUI
preme Court decision curtailing the
powers of investigations OF the Fed
eral Trade Commission, the Post asks:
Has congress the power to constitute
itself a general grand jury in investi-
CATION of all things under the sun
and moon? Has it the authority to
send committees on fishing expedi-
tons and to clothe them with power
to place any and all on the stand?"
The Post management, needless to
say. is sympathetic with the position
taken by Sinclair in refusing to testi-
fy. 1t is the paper that is owned by
Edward b. Mclean. Nevertheless
the Post editorial is a strong one in
stating the case against Fishing cx-
petitions II the questions raised by
Sinclair are really germane to the
conduct OF legislative inquiries, then
not only Congress. but the legislatures
of the states will be affected, because
a victory in the courts for Sinclair
would make it impossible for legisla-
tive bodies to proceed with invcstiga-
tons into the merits OF any subject

Raby Girl Born linn Car
Named After Woman
w ho Rendered Help

A story of timely aid given at
critical moment by which a baby
girl was ushered into the world and
the mothers life probably saved
was told recently by those who
learned of the incident at Billings
hospital. The Good Samaritan in
this incident was Mrs. Ralph Bun
ker of Roundup.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunker were driving
to Billings and, at a point in Yellow
stone county, they were hailed by the
driver of small car. He was in
formed them that he was taking his
wife to the hospital but that the
stork was getting the best of the race
and he was at a loss as to what to
do. Mrs. Bunker quickly changed to
the car with the sufferer and with
skill and kindness gave such atten-
ton and relief as were possible un-
der the circumstances. Within a
few minutes baby girl came into the
world, and 1t was held lovingly In
Mrs. Bunkers arms as the journey
was continued to the hospital.
Several hours after the arrival In
Billings, Mrs. Bunker again visited
the hospital to enquire as to the con-
dition of her two patients and was
deeply gratified to learn that both
were In excellent health In graft
tude to their preserver the parents
nemed their daughter Lucille.
