Nary-Haugen veto was more of calm
discussion Of the provisions Of the bill
and detailed account of his reasons
why he opposed 1t.
But his veto Of last wednesday evi-
dentiy has been received in an entirely
different light. II has been described
as an appeal to reason. It was a strong
ly worded paper on why Calvin Coolidge
opposed the measure and why he did
not believe 1t would be helpful to the

nized that he put at stake his entire
reputation for Sagacity and Judgment

careful economic analysis of this legiS-

Maryland. who held the floor unaided
and without manuscript and little other
documentary assistance for three hours
and five minutes as States rights
champion against Government opera
ton and expansion Of the Muscle
Shoals project.
Talks OF Bills Iniquities.
For the most part he talked con-
tinuously of the iniquities he said he
saw IN the bill and his charge that 1t
violated ancient American tradition of
local sovereignty.
Tydings was the only Senate men,
Der in evening clothes and he seemed
almost as vigorous In voice and looked
as fresh and immaculate behind his
starched shirt front at the end of his
verbal achievement as he did when he
began.
Blease OF South Carolina was an
other hero of the thin. but laxative
line of defense. He had two speeches
to his credit In less than IL hours and
both were long.
The only incident Of the early hours
today was an attempt by Black to
point OF order made In the absence of
Norris. Brookhart OF Iowa neld down
the Vice Presidents chair as presid-
ing officer. Norris returned In the midst
of the wranRle and 1t then developed
gentlemen'S agreement existed be-
tween McKellar and himself and the In
cident ended with the Tennessee Sem
ator resuming his speech but with
dark glances and muttered side remarks
aimed at his Alabama colleague and
opponent.
Sheppard Gets Blanket.
At one time during the night Senator
Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas, was
stretched out and blanketed on a di-
van as McKellar carried on in his fight
against the Cove Creek dam project
