One of the rules Of Rugby is that

English content themselves with short
lateral passes, as in American basket

SENATE ORDERS
NVESTICATION
OF Oil PRICES
(By Dispatch A. z. Wir2J

WASHINGTON, June "a resolut,
ion directing the federal trade COM
mission to investigate the increased
price of gasoline and other petroleum
products was adopted today by thN
senate without a record vote.
The resolution, introduced by Sena-
tor Trammell, democrat Florida, re-
quires the commission to report to the
senate at the next session of con.
gress whether the increases We're ar
bitrarily made and unwarranted.
The commission is further directed
to determine if there are any agree
ments between oil companies to raist.
or depress prices or if competition is
restricted by conditions of ownership
of oil properties, refineries or market
ng facilities.
Senator Trammel held the resolu-
tion before the senate for weeks and
each time there was a lull in the pro-
ceedings he asked for action, but it
was showed aside repeatedly for some
other measure. He accused the senate
of wasting time over trivial affairs
while the public was paying a heavy
toll to the oil trusts.
Joining in the debate, senator King,
democrat, Utah. used the resolution as
o medium to again attack the federal
trade commission, declaring that as
important as the resolution was, he
did not b1lieve an inquiry by the COM
mission With its present majority per,

the session today was one of the long
est in recent history of the house.
Seldom, except on the eve of adjourn

which referred to him as an "embac-
ted foreigner" using arguments in
spired by envy and malice" gave him
the floor on a point of personal privi-
1ege. This recognition for more than
two hours was the storm center of
attacks on language used by members
and demands for order swept the
house with such rapidity as to de-
feat the goal they sought.
The house did not even recess for
dinner and plunged ahead into the
