Washington. D. C., Feb. ls.-The bill prohibiting oil pollution ef naxi- gable rivers, in which Congressman Freeman by virtue of his place on the rivers and harbors committee has been particularly interested passed the House of Representatives this week.
 The bill is q much abridged edition of the original measure proposed to the committee. II refers only to oil, leaving out consideration of all other kinds of pollution which were includ- ed in the original bill. In fact. the bill which passed was not a committee reported measure. but on the unani- nous consent calendar.
 Mir. Freeman .s satisfied .a have the bill through the House, and is going Go ask support for it in the Senate. Its main purpose, he says, is to keep the large oil companies from dumping bad oil from their tankers within the three miles limit so that 1t may be carried to beaches at the mouths of streams or up these rivers.
 The effect of this bill on Connecti- cut will be to protect the interests of beach resorts along the sound and es- pecialiy at the mouths of the several rivers which flow through the state Execution of the law is placed in the hands of the secretary of war and pen alties for disobeying it run from fines of from $50 to S2,500 to imprisonment of not more than one year.
 New Senator Still Going
 Connecticut has had more to say l. 4L ( fortnight than since this session oi Congress opened.
 The astonishing rise of the Connec. ticut traveller, Senator Bingham, has proved one source of attention. This man has busted and buried the sacred tradition that new senators must be seen and seldom heard. His latest ex. ploits include getting his first bill through the Senate. a speech al the Lincoln Day dinner of the National Republican Club in New York, where at Secretary of State Hughes was a speaker, sundry participations in the Senate debate. and appointment to the honorory committee for 8 memorial to the world flight of the air service. Sem ator Mclean is also on this memorial body.
 Bingham is still going. Of course. il is obvious that he Is after a re-elec- tinn in 1926 and is consequently en- deavoriHg to make the most of his op- pertanities during this fast-eonelud- ing session. He knows that he will face tough fight. in all probability. The Roraback machine has sufficient powerful enemies to make this predic- ton rather safe.
 Is Hard Worker
 So far. Bingham is getting away with t all. He is proving himself able and alert and hard worker. For instance. he was the only member of the Senate visible in the House last Sunday when memorial exercises were being held for the late Senator Bran degee. Bingham is overlooking no bets. All of which is wise and per fectly legal and natural.
 And it may further be said, that if Bingham stays in the Senate n couple of years and more, he wilf be one of the better known senators.
 Congressman 0'Sullivan of the Fifth District, who will soon retire to make way for the return of Jim" Glynn has been in the limelight as a member of the House committee mixed up in

the sensational probe of our aircraft conditions. o'Sullivan has taken part in the discussions of the committee and has questioned some of the witnesses himself.
 It is his conviction that this nation should look to it's airplanes and sub marines. He feels that the New Eng land region especially should be vital i ly concerned in this matter.
 In this connection. Bingham. him self with wide experience in the air service. is understood to disagree with Brig. Gen. Mitchell that this nation should have q unified air service.
 Mclean Comments
 Senator Mclean recently comment. cd on two important measures before Congress, the world court and the lslt l of Pines treaty. The senior senator feels that nothing vital will b. lost fl the Senate fails to act on the world court matter before adjournment. He l Is for the administration court plan but says that to try and get vote on 1t now would be likely to hold up i'm portant domestic legislation.
 Mclean fayors ratification of the Isle of Pines treaty despite that ht leame here sympathetic with Connee- ticut folks who have interests in the islands and want the treaty. giving Ii. tie of the isle to Cuba, defeated. Me. Lean Is clear that we owe it to Cuba and to our pledged word to give her the island.
 Merritt Defends Action
 Congressman Merritt of Bridgepori some days ago defended the action of lthe House interstate and foreign com meree committee in reporting out ; etoothless" merchandise misbrandine bill He said it was. under the condi tions. the best bill possible. Merritt for long was head of a subcommittee of the commerce committee which con. sidered the mishranding measure. l Tilson Floor Leader
 Congressman Tilson of New Haver is the rising king. As the days pass il becomes more and more probable thai he will be the floor leader of the nexi Congress. The election will be hels by Republican members of the new House next week. Tilson is running on the ticket which would make Long worth of Ohio the speaker. As mat ters stand now in the House. the ilooi leader has more actual power han ths speaker. Longworth has admitted as much.
 The Longworth-Tilson men eiaiH the great majority of the New Eng land vote. They admit probable loss of the two votes of New Hampshire and of on vote in Maine; also that four or more from Massachusetts will vote for Madden for speaker. But ths Tilson forces assert they now hay, enough pledged votes to assure then lof victory And the disinterested yer dict is that they are right.
 Mr. Tilson has been named tempo rary secretary of the committee to ar range celebration of the 200th ami versary of the birth of George Wash lington in 1882. This is likely to meai that Tilson will be permanent seere tary, unless he objects, with sever years term of work ahead of him.
 Congressman Tilson, Freeman ana Fenn eulogized the late Senator Bran Idegee at the memorial exercises il the House Sunday. During the cere many Freeman and Tilson at differen times occupied the chair of the speak CT as the presiding officer.
