BIZ Times Special

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA con-
spiracy of congressional silence has
followed the startling revelations of
official high life in the Nations cap
ital. brought out in the divorce suit
of Representative Scott of Michigan.
Whisky TASKS have been stored
away until the storm blows over.
and the bare mention Of spirituous
liquors is forbidden within hundred
yards of the House of Representa-
tives.
Here in the Paris of America,
where Congressman live higher than
aviators, according to Mrs. Scott,
the Cabling tongues have suddenly
stopped.
"Shushl Don't drag me into this
mess" is the parting word of Con-
gressmen as they dive for the storm
cellar. Even the address Of 1.-THE
Bears Nest" has been lost.
Even No Cider
Representative Hill of Maryland
recently figured rather prominently
in a liquor technicality case, but
does he know anything about the
flow of whisky about the capital2
He never heard of it.
SIS there really much drinking
among congressman, he was asked.
ST don't know thing about it.
How about cider parties in the
Capital?' But the Congressman was
fifty feet down the corridor and the
question went unanswered.
One man admitted that the shock
ing revelations had some basis for
truth, but there was no SANDER or
libel in any of his remarks.
Where are we going?" Repre-
sentative Upshaw OF Georgia, elo-
quently asked his colleagues in re-
opening his plea that all Govern
ment officials .sign the pledge or
give up his job"
When asked where have we
been?" however, Upshaw would
give no further information.
A Congressman from Michigan
was cornered under the theory that
perhaps the Representatives from
the Wolverine State had been more
fortunate in finding the mysterious
haunts Of K st. ~
How is everything amongst the
night nfe?" this Congressman from
Michigan was asked.
Secretary on Guard
How did you ge. by my secre-
tary?" the congressman countered.
There is congressman from
Massachusetts, who is openly wet.
If any one knows about the liquor
situation in washington, he should.
How is the prohibition in the
House?"

time I get up I make speech

that the sun will begin to emerge
from the shadow and at 500 a. m.
will be back to ''normalcy."
Astronomers have selected the
eastern part OF the United States
as most favorable for observing
the eclipse in this country, Walter
Gingery, astronomy teacher at
Shortridge high school, said This,
he eplained. Is because west of a
line passing close to Cincinnati
and Toledo, Ohio. the eclipse will
be under way when the sun rises.
East Of that line the entire course
of tte eclipse will be- visible.
Must Wait 200 Years
Indiana is not a favorite play
ground for total eclipses, Gingery
said, and it will be at least 200
years before there is g total eclipse
in this State, he said.
There will be four partial
eclipses, two of the sun and two
Of the moon this year, Gingery
said. Two will be visible in In

TO Be TAKEN TO
SAVE CLAYCOMBE
Attorney Says High Court
Not Concerned With Who

Declaring that Supreme Court had
not gone into the question of
whether Lloyd D. Claycombe. or

elected president Of the council, ar
thur Robinson. attorney for Clay
combe, today announced new legal
procedure would be started in Clay
combe's behalf. Exact nature was
not made public until after con-
ference with Claycombe.
Our contention has always been
and is now that Claycombe is the
only legal president Of the council, /"
said Robinson There can be no
other election at the time and place
Claycombe was named
Explains Courts Stand
The Supreme Court went on the
broad ground that tina council was a
legislative body, and could not be in
terfered with by court In its legal
procedure" said Robinson. "But it
did not go into the question of legal
ity of Thompson's election.
Robinson said Claycombe would be
represented at the Supreme Court
hearing jap. 10 to decide whether
the writ should be made permanent
restraining lower courts from inter
fering with the council.
CIaycombe today said he had no
statement until after comforting with
slis attorneys.
Meanwhile the writ served to put
the two factions together long
enough to vote unanimously to sus-
pend rules on passing important
measures Tuesday evening, Council
man John E. King was unanimously
elected president pro tenn.
There will be nothing mora to
this matter" said James NJ. Ogden,
corporation counsel, today. "Thomp-
son has been duly elected"

on order of Ben H. Thompson. in
the presidents chair. The council
chamber was crowded. Claycombe,
standing near by, Immediately asked
for the floor and was recognized.
IT have just come from the SUI
preme Court, and that court pro-
hibits further restriction in this mat
ter said C1aycombe. 1T is my will
to bow to the Supreme Court. 1 am
disposed to conduct the business Of
the council in an orderly manner,
and I know that is the desire Of my
associates who supported me-" He
was applauded.
Later Councilman Ray obtained
the floor, and announced it was the
greatest pleasure in my life to vote
for Mr.. Thompson for president"
> His word is worth its weight In
gold, said Ray. More applause
greeted this remark.
Ordinances passed were:

A complete upset in the election

town, retiring president, as secre-
tary treasurer to succeed William M.
Jones, Paramount.
Barker, representing the Ninth

reelection on the board, contrary to
the supposition that he would run
unopposed. C. Y. Foster, Carmel,
Ind, was nominated, the nomina-
lions Immediately closed and his
election made unanimous.

Since no board member can be
nominated and elected secretary,
Barker is free from such complica-
tons. It was believed he would be
elected secretary late today.

election to the board from the Sixth
District by Russell G. East, Shelby
Vile, was also a candidate but was
not expected to make any showing.
