 Waskowitz, it is alleged in the complaint. was part owner of the property in question and he ap proved of the contract made by Le- Witt. It was understood that Le- Witt was to make substantial pay ments as the work progressed. so that the sub-contractors might re- ceive their money within reason able time, according to the allega- tions.
 It is claimed that the defendants have paid only s3,o5O to date, the cost of the building being sS,252.36. It is further claimed by the plain tiffs that on January I of this year Levitt promised to pay the balance due for the cost of the building to that date. but he has not done so. Because of the failure of the defend- ants to pay the plaintiffs the house is not finished although it has been substantially completed.

WESTINGHOUSE
LETTER 3 M9'
DHG o.
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service. Writer.


WASHINGTON Many folk got
" out of bed earlier than usual
to attend the session that opened
the Smith debate an hour before
the usual opening of the Senate.
The galleries were packed
tighter than at any time since
Congress came for its present
short session-more spectators
than when Borah made his speech
about Nicaragua.
The diplomatic gallery was
empty. but that reserved for sena.
torial families was jammed and
so were all the others. The scene
was reminiscent of Roman
crowd all set to see an eminen.
Christian fed to the lions.
The fact that the eminent Mr..
Smith had numerous defenders
anxious to see that he at least be
fed at a later date only tended to
put more pep in the show. When
all the seats were filed, people
were allowed to sit in the aisles
and soon these were jammed and
it was Titan's job to get out.
Downstairs many members Of
the House. led by Speaker Nick,
were on hand and almost every
senator was at his desk.
Cute little Alice Longworth,
the speakers wife. displayed great
interest from her usual seat in
one of the reserved galleries.
W7HEN the Senate finally re-
y fuses to accept Frank L.
Smith Of Illinois, Speaker Long
worth will be glad to have him
over in the House.
Speaker Nick, hero of an in
cipient presidential boom, staged
what was virtually a public pet
ting party with Smith on the Sem
ate floor as he came over to at
tend the early session on the first
day of debate over Smiths ad-
instability.
Not that Smith was actually
hugged or kissed, but Speaker
Nick grasped his paw, shook it
cordially and patted him on the
back so enthusiastically as to reg
ister an open endorsement of the
senator-elect' whom many senator's
think is unfit to sit among them.
II X
Smith was welcomed by other
Old Guardsmen, such as Senator
Gillette of Massachusetts, but the
Longworth greeting was the most
fervent. ..a4
Smith sat to the rear of the sem
atorial desks. He looked like the
headmaster of boys school.
