House Rushes It's
Legislation While
Senate Piles II Up

WASHINGTON Dec IL R-A
study in contrast again was pre-
sented today by congress, with the
house showing every disposition to
do it's legislative shopping early while
the senate let its work pile up.
Unflaggingly and almost without
interruption throughout long after
noon session, the house Leaders kept
the tax reduction bill moving toward
passage. The senate, which had been
in recess since Friday, passed without
debate the bill to give a special medal
to Colonel Lindbergh, adopted a
resolution to renew the life Of the
Reed slush fund committee, and then
Adjourned before afternoon.
Not only did the house keep to
its knitting, but it seemed to enjoy
it immensely. The tax bill assembled
an unusual turnout of members, and
during most of the afternoon half
of the seats were occupied. On the
republican side, to the left of the
speaker, the members of the majority
party spread out about the ten foot
mahogany table where Chairman
Green kept tab on the progress of
the bill while on the right the demo-
Gratis were grouped similarly about
their erstwhile leader, Garner OF
Texas, the final democratic authority
on questions of taxation. .
Republicans and democrats, joining
in a roof-raising chorus of approval
upheld the committee in leaving
normal income rates as they are, but
when the corporation tax was reached
the result was different. Garner
loves the process that he calls "stir-
ring up the republican hellgebites'
in a tax debate, and today he not
only stirred them up, but once ht
made them take to their heels. He
drove through, by a vote of 1856 tc
1872, an amendment to give some
relief to the smaller corporations.
Only on two or three occasions was
the tax discussion halted even tem'
porarily. 1t was hushed once Wher
a senate messenger was announced
and, after the established manner
stood at the foot of the. center aisle
and intoned the information that tn;
senate had passed the Lindbergl
medal of honor bill. Again there wa
a momentary hiatus, accompanied b.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL (R)-Un-
dismayed by reports Of poor weather
conditions, Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh pushed steadily forward today
with preparations for his flight from
Washington to Mexico City.
The days activities included a con-
sultation with officials of the weather
bureau and the navy photographic
office after which he announced the

least ten days-luncheon with the
commanding officer at Boiling field
and an afternoon spent inspecting
the work of army mechanics on the
Spirit of st. Louis and in testing
the army's new Looming headquar-
ters plane.
Meanwhile the senate followed the
lead of the house in voting unanim-
ously that congressional medal OF
honor, one of the nations highest
awards, be conferred on the famous
young aviator in recognition of his
transatlantic flight.

SENATE AFFIRMS
CONTINUANCE OF
ELECTION PROBE
Senator. Jim Reed Wins
Fight With Cousin Dave
In u. S. Senate

WASHINGTON Dec. 12 R)-By a
decisive vote of So to 81, the senate
today ended the feud of it's only two
cousins -"Dave" Reed of Pennsylvania
and Jim" Reed of Missouri, formally
reaffirming the authority of it's special
campaign funds committee headed by
the MiSSourian.
Reed of Pennsylvania, who gained
the upper hand when he led q success
full filibuSter at the closing of the last
session which prevented a vote on the
proposal to continue the committee.
submitted almost without a struggle
today as the Missourian Reed drove
through his resolution after lashing
the Pennsylvania senator.
Ordered TO carry on, the committee
of which Reed of Missouri is chairman
will meet tomorrow to map plans for
resuming it's investigation into the
Pennsylvania and Illinois primaries
last year. On the basis of it's partial
reports the senate refused by over
whelming majorities last week to ad-
minister the oath to Frank L. Smith
of Illinois and William S. Ware of
Pennsylvania, both republicans, pend
ing further hearing before the Reed
committee.
Smith and Ware, in presenting argu-
ments why they are entitled to senate
seats, will stress, among other points,
their election after the voters of Him
ois and Pennsylvania had been fully
advised Of the charges brought against
them during the Reed inquiry more
than year ago.
During a brief discussion which pre-
ceded the senate vote, Reed of Missouri
declared that the Pennsylvania Reed
had "thwarted" his plan "by leading
the filibuster" in the closing days of
the last session against the resolu-
ton to continue his committee during
the recess. Then he referred to his
distant cousin as "the only honest man
of his generation"
''The injured innocent attitude of the
senator from Pennsylvania is anus
ing the Missouri democrat said. "Fu-
ture generations will go to his shrine
to see the inscription on it of the
only honest man of his generation
In reply Senator Reed of Pennsyl-
vania said he realized there were
enough votes to continue the special
committee, but added his objection to

publican Leader Tilson told his col
leagues the house had as its guest
in the gallery the speaker of the
house Of deputies of Venezuela. A
dark clad figure bowed his acknow-
Judgements above the gallery rail,
and then the tax debate was on
AGAIN.
The brief senate session was at
tended by little of the colorful. Reed
of Missouri, calling up his resolution
to put the breath of legal life into
his sIush fund committee, encount-
cred an argument from Reed Of
Pennsylvania, but the scrap soon
ended in a roll call approving the
resolution by a vote of almost three
to one Senator Borah laid the basis
for no one knows what sort Of
rumpuS later on by re-introducing
his resolution favoring recognition Of
the Russian government, and Senator
Walsh of Montana, who originally
uncovered the Teapot Dome scandal,
proposed law to facilitate prosecu-
ton of the F'all-S Sinclair case when
it comes up again in January. He
would change the statute of limita-
tions so that M. T. Everhart, the
son-in-law of Albert B. Fall, might
testify about certain mysterious
liberty bonds without discriminating
himself.
When the senate quit, the defi-
cheney appropriation bill, passed last
week by the house, was out of COM
mittee and all ready for considera-
ton. Warren of wyoming, the vet
eran chairman of the committee,
wanted to go ahead with it,. but
there we're some murmurings of OBJ
lection. Senator Warren first came
to the senate when Cleveland was
in the White House, and from long
experience he knows his senators. So
he let the till go until tomorrow.

DETECTIVE SAYS
BURNS UNAWARE
JURY ESPIONAGE
Walsh Moves to Secure
Testimony of Falls Son
,-in-Law in Case

WASHINGTON Dec. IL (H9-Charles
G.. Ruddy, who had charge OF the
shadowing of the Fall-Sinclair oil
conspiracy jury for Inc Burns detective
agency, ended three days testimony in
the governments criminal contempt
case against Harry F. Sinclair, William
j. Burns and their associates today
with the assertion that Burns knew
nothing of the surveillance.
Ruddy, Philadelphia manager for
Burns, who was called as q govern
ment witness against Sinclair, Burns,
w. Sherman Burns, Henry Mason Day,
Sheldon Clark and c. L. Veitsch, prov
ed a willing witness, but just before
he left the stand, in replying to a
question by District Attorney Gordon
he said emphatically that w. j. Burns
had no connection with the agency
and for years had only advised his
sons in it's management. Ruddy said
the elder Burns was not aware of the
surveillance of the jury until after a
mistrial had been declared in the oil
case.
While the prosecution continued to
introduce reports of detectives in the
conspiracy hearing, Senator Walsh
democrat, Montana, asked the senate
to take steps to enable the government
| to get the testimony of M. T. Everhart
Son-in-law of Albert B. Fall, former
secretary of the interior. Everhart
refused to testify at the trial in Octo-
Der on the ground that his testimony
might incriminate him.
Senator Walsh introduced a bill tc
reduce from six to three years the
statute of limitations in government
fraud cases Everhart, it was charged
by the government, delivered to Fal

activities of the alleged smuggIers,
it was stated.
Gray, speaking for the Tucson
sub district, said that for the
past year his department had
been working on reliable infOrma-
ton regarding the irregular trips
over the border by planes, which
are now becoming more frequent,
according to reports from AjO, a
mining camp.
Attempts by the patrol to check
the planes, Gray pointed out,
have been confined to ground
work in an effort to locate their
landing fields for refueling ON
this side of the boundary line.
Miller, who is in Tucson ON a
tour of inspection, admitted that
the establishment of a border
patrol at Tucson or in this vicin-
ity might be effectively used In
cases of aerial smuggling.

TEACHERS COLLEGE NOTES
VIM. NJ. (BILL) SMITH. Editor

In spite of the handicap caused
through lack of training on account
of the inclement track weather in
Flagstaff, the Flagstaff track team
made a fair showing and returned to
Flagstaff from Albuquerque with two
first events to their credit, from the
dual track meet at which the Univer-
sity of Arizona, University of New
Mexico and Flagstaff Teachers college
participated
Considering that the University OF
Arizona has the best track team in its
history and that New Mexico has one
of the best it has ever turned out, Of
ficials and students here were elated
with the showing made by the local
boys.
After the meet, the three track
teams banqueted at the Franciscan
hotel where q tradition was set to
elect captains of the track teams aft
er the meet each year. Jensen was
elected captain of this years Flag
staff team and ]. B. Easley was elect
ed to serve as leader of Flagstaff
aggregation next season.
Considering the fact that Flagstaff
had such stiff competition, and that
they only had eight men entered in
the meet, compared with % from New
Mexico and Is from Arizona, Flag
staff indeed made a comn1endable
showing in the meet with her seniors,
she being the only teachers college
invited to participate in the meet.
President Grady Gammage went to
Phoenix last Friday, called on busi-
ness connected with the state board
of education. Professor e. G. Class
of the training school and Yale Nc
Fate. who represented the college at
the state oratorical contest, accom-
panied President Gammage. The party
returned Sunday with the exception
of Mr.. Glass, who remained in the val
lev to check up on the employment OF
teachers in the valley schools. Pro-
fessor Glass remained for several days
speaking at high schools and meeting
the superintendents of the schools.
President Grady Gamnage went to
Jerome Yesterday, where he delivered
an address at the Rotary club. Presl-
dent Gammage's speech was entitled

like kind being given before the

college Glee club accompanied Mr..
