engine of destruction when meeting
large black bear on returning
home from work in the local rayon
plant but did not meet with very
good results.
He was coasting down the Potts
Creek turnpike, when he saw the
bear in the center of the road run
ming for dear life. Willie speeded
, up his car, expecting to make
"Blackie' flaw down and go boom. -
then push him off the road and
down an emba nkmept. but the bar"
had other ideas on the subject
He rolled himself up in a ball
and took A JOY ride himself, being
rolled or dragged for a distance OF
over $50 yards. After having en-
ioyed the rough and tumble thrill.

r. OLD OIL SCANDAL REACHING CLIMAX in FALL TRIAL
INQUIRY
ECL|PSES ROW
ON TARIFF

The Senate's sweeping in
quiry into activities of Con-
grcssional "lobbies" today
threatened to steal the spot
light on Capitol Hill from the
tedious warfare over the new
Republican tariff bill.
| A program Of procedure Cor the
lobby" investigation will be adopted
this week, possibly today, by the
newly. named committee of Senator'S
Caraway Cd Arkansas, chairma n;
Borah R) Idaho, Blaine RD Wis
consin, Robinson RD Indiana, and
| Walsh CD Montana. The inVesti-
CATION will start with the tariff
lobby, so that while the Senate de-
bates the bill. the country will be
| treated to an inside picture" as
to how the rates were fixed.
Hopes to Reach All
I'VE intend to give the country a
cross-section of lobby activities,
said Caraway. I'VE will show the
American people just how a lobby
acts and just what it does. That
will he my purpose in this inquiry
We will go after the Hobbies,
| large or small. that have scandal
ously affixed themselves like para.
| sites on the body of Congress.
| These pernicious organizations must
| be driven out of Washington"
! While great interest centered on
| the lobby inquiry, the Senate con-
| tinued debating administrative fea-
| lures Of the new bill with admin

| the rate schedules later in the week
They were ready for their next
! great political test, on the Thomas
| motion TO recommit the whole bill
| to the Senate Finance Committee
! with instructions to eliminate all
| increases in industrial rates. Re-
| publican spokesman said this mo-.
| ton would be defeated by a large
margin.
Suffer New Defeat
The Administration meanwhile
suffered another defeat when the
Senate restored the present provi-
! sion. dealing with the power of
appraisers at the various ports of
| entry. The Republican orcanizl-
ton had sought to write new
provision into the bill, giving ap-
praisers the power to invoke United
States valuations in levying tariff
duties.
