WAR IN NICARAGUA
STIRS SENATE AT LAST

Washington-(FP)-Led by Sena-
tor Norris Of Nebraska, progressive
spokesman in congress, a surprisingly
large number of senator's of both par
ties attacked the administration for
its conquest of Nicaragua, when
Blaine of Wisconsin proposed that the
naval appropriation bill be amended
with a demand for withdrawal Of
American armed forces from that re-
public. Norris portrayed the horrors
of this campaign Of bombing, from
airplanes safe in the skies, the help
less villages scattered in the noun
tains of Nicaragua.
Dill of Washington regretted, he
said, that the Senate chamber was
not so arranged to broadcast this de-
bate to the whole American voting
public, so that the people would know
the grim fraud concealed in the claim
that American marines are merely
guarding a proposed election Nickel
lar, Frazier, Smith, Heflin and even
Simmons of North Carolina took part
in the attack on Coolidge's private
war. King, Caraway and others sup
ported them.
Blaine's proposal was that the
forces be withdrawn by Dec. 25-sixty
days after the election. Finally, urged
by Pittman, he agreed to modify his
amendment so that it left the admin
istration free to keep forces in Near
aqua if American lives or property
were in actual danger.
