eff Frederick A. Fenning does not
have enough sense to resign, the Presi-
dent ought to kick him out of office
without ceremony. ! believe the Presi
dent will do so. If the President
does not, Congress ought to force his
expulsion"
Republicans and Democrats jumped
TO their feet at the end of Blanton's
savage attack. Many persons in the
packed galleries joined in applauding
noisily.
When Blanton's allotted time to
speak had expired and he asked for
additional time to unfold his scorch
ing assault, Representative Charles J..
Underhill, Republican, Massachusetts,,
blocked him. AS the House was pro-
ceeding under unanimous consent

be made to get me, and l serve
notice that the Legion boys will look
