sought to end the fight by prayer was

The Reed cousins OF the Senate,
leaders of the contending forces in the
hlibuster which has torn the Senate
wide open for the last two days, are
really cousins in more than name.
Immediately after Great Britain and
the colonies signed their peace treaty
following the Revolution. the Virginia
Legislature gave a tract of land TO
George Washington as bonus. 1t
was located in what was then known
as Westmoreland County, Va. That
was before the boundaries between
Virginia and Pennsylvania were set
tied. Pennsylvania claimed the same
territory and eventually it became
Washington County. Pa.
Went to Examine Lands.
Washington's diary shows that he
went there in 1884 to examine the
lands. To his establishment he found
them already under cultivation, with
a considerable community on what
he had supposed was virgin land. He
considered them squatters. The set
tiers, on the other hand, claimed the
land as their own.
Washington found the first citizen
of the community to be one Squire
David Reed. He stayed at Squire
Reeds home as his guest. In an eff
fort to work out n settlement of the
controversy, q mass meeting was
called. 1t was held at Squire Reed s
house There Washington proposed

STATUS UNCERTAIN
May Go on Pay Roll Now,
But Whether They Will Take
Oath of Office in Doubt.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In keeping with the tangled situa-
ton in which the Senate found itself
at adjournment. the status of William
S. Ware of Pennsylvania. and Frank
l., Smith of Illinois, as Senators-elect
was left in a snarl.
The elections committee reported
their credentials in due form" and
they were filed with the Senate, a
move which some Senate leaders said
automatically put thin on the Govern
ment payroll, in spite of the bitter
fight which has waged against them
during the greater part of the session,
Whether they will be allowed to take
the oath of office next December is
another matter.
Senator Ernst, Republican, Ken
lucky, chairman of the elections com
mittee, submitted the report, and Vice
President Dawes said it stood 'as re-
ceived." Nevertheless, Senator Cara
way of Arkansas, a Democratic mem.
her of the committee, assured Chair
man Reed, of the campaign funds
committee, that it would have no
bearing on any contest in the next
Congress, and that the right of the
Senators to take their seats was not
considered by the committee.
Whether acceptance of the creden-
tails at this time will have any
strategic importance in the fight
against the two men, whose cam
paign funds have been a constant sub.
Ject of attack, is matter of conjec-
ture. The action. however. is eX-
pected to allow both to come before
the Senate In person and demand the
administering of the oath of Office.

WEARY SENATORS
PREPARE FOR SLEEP
Get Only Few Winks on
Couches in Committee
Rooms During Vigil.

Sleep will be the principal order of
business for Senators of the United
| States for the next week.
Many of the Senators went through
the 37-hour continuous session. which
ended last night at midnight, with
little more than a wink of sleep.
| When adjournment came unexpected
~ last night, all preparations had
been made for a bivouc of the Senate.
, Army blankets had been obtained from
the War Department. Couches in
committee rooms had been made ready
and were occupied by the weary Sena-
tors. The Presidents room, just off
the Senate chamber. had been re-
| Questioned. The lights were turned
out and Senators slept there with the
blankets thrown over them. Others
occupied hastily made emergency beds
in the marble room, behind the Senate
! lobby.
The decision to take recess un.
til $50 am. today drew sigh of
relief from many a senatorial chest.
Reeds Awake Since Tuesday.
The two leaders Of the opposing
camps in the great filibuster of 1927,
the Reed cousins, Jim Reed of Mis-
souri,, and David A. Reed of Pennsyl-
vania, had both been virtually with
out sleep since Tuesday night.
Senator Dave Reed had not slept
at all. he said He slipped soup and
drank milk between meals to keep up
his strength. His meals were regu-
lar and substantial. He and Mrs.
Reed were members of an informal
dinner party last night in the Senate
wing of the Capitol, attended by sew
eral of their friends. Beefsteak was
the piece de resistance Of the meal.
Senator Jim" Reed, 10 years older
than his cousin. managed to exc out
about 40 minutes sleep all told
during the long vigil. During the
entire time he did not leave the Sem
ate floor or the Hobbies, offices. cor
ridors and the Senate restaurant.
Like his cousin Dave. he remained
constantly on the job. directing the
fight His voice was strong, and he
delivered a remarkable address yes
terday afternoon. denouncing the OPP
position to his resolution continuing
the slush fund committee. His think
ing processes were unaffected by the
long hours of wakefulness.
Robinson Sleeps i'm Chair.
The Democratic leader, Senator
Robinson of Arkansas. went to his
office several times in the hope of
catching little sleep. once ne got
as far as taking his shoes off. when
he was called back to the chamber.
The next time he got his coat off, but
had to replace it and hurry back.
The third time he had taken off his
trousers when the bell rang for a
quorum.
What he said on that occasion will
not appear in the Congressional
Record. When he returned to the
Capitol he went to sleep in his chair.
Senator McNary of Oregon, author
of the farm relief bill, went without
sleep during the long battle and yet
appeared one of the freshest-looking
Senators on the floor.

CONTROL MEASURE
Immediate End to Confusion
Predicted If Congress
Will Approve Bill.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. February 19.-Pas-
sage of the radio-control bill by Con-
Eress will have the immediate effect
to prevent any further contribution
to confusion in the air." Walter A.
Strong, chairman of the national radio
coordinating committee and publisher
of the Chicago Daily News, said in a
statement issued here last night.
THE passage of the bill now makes
it possible for the Federal Govern
ment to exercise much needed control
over radio bradcasting," he said.
Although we recognize the fact that
the conference report was not a per
feet piece of legislation, nevertheless
the radio industry as whole is con-
WINGED that it was the most nearly
perfect radio law that could be passed
at this time.
1T is fortunate that the administra-
ton of radio is left under Secretary
Hoover and the Department of Com
merce. The fact that the radio com
mission will exercise. for one year, dis
cretionary powers over the number of
broadCasterS and the wave lengths and
power they may use, is generally ac-
ceptable and must be recognized as a
satisfactory compromise"
