Mr.. Blanton's speech in the House
was due to recent article by Mr.. Fen
ming in the New York World in which
Congress was accused of "hamstringing"
the District, and by the action of the
appropriations committee in inserting
provision for DR.. Whites living quarters
and other major accommodations in ad-
dition to his salary. Controller General
McCarl recently ruled that the value
of DR.. Whites accommodations. $11 900
a year, should not be included In his
compensation. DR.. White receives
$500 a year and the controllers de-
ciSion would leave him heavily in debt
to the Government.
Mr.. Blanton served notice he would
attempt to block the provision of the
appropriations committee by point of
order when 1t is reached.
Mr.. Blanton read long extracts from
the report of the judiciary committee
condemning Mr.. Jennings practice as
guardian of insane veterans while he
was District Commissioner.
He also declared that the purpose Of
the WEIGH bill raising the salaries of
Government employees had been evaded.
1t was intended. he said, to provide a
living wage for the small wage earners
who had not been taken care of in pre-

The court pointed out that the grand

struggle etched in the clear antarctic
air against the dark sea.
The whale stayed close to the surface
and in its efforts to throw of the thing
which clung to its vitals, 1t rose and
blew and dived, only to rise and hing
the water into a white mist.
The little ship held, with its engines
going astern and hauling in the line
with its bow winch, as the whale came
nearer and nearer. Its spouts became
less frequent and more diScolored, and
sometimes it's lashing tail could be seer
as the wounded creature lifted from the
water and plunged again.
This fight went on for 20 minutes
until the whale became SO weak that Il
had been pulled within a few yards Of
the boat.
The gunner could be seen aiming
downward, there was a puff OF smoke
and another harpoon with its explosive
charged hurled into the black hulk that
wrenched at the first line.
AS the second harpoon hit, the whale
in a final desperate convulSion threw
itself half out of the water, twisting
and lashing with its tail and throwing
a sheet of spray and a big wave over
the bow of the chaser.
A few minutes later the chaser hauled
it alongside and made off on the lookout
for more whales.
