SENATE IGNORES
CUNNINGHAM

With Thomas W. Cunningham, a
Ware leader in Philadelphia, still at
liberty under bond, the returning
Senate today ignored his impending
contempt case to await q final ver-
dict in Federal courts.
Cunningham, in his first clash
with the Senate, lost In the Fed.
eral courts, when the United States
Supreme Court ruled tn uepper
branch of Congress had a legal
right to order his arrests as a re.
calcitrant witness. Cunningham
was taken into custody during the
summer vacation but Immediately
released under $1,000 bond to await
the pleasure of the Senate"
The case grew out of Cunning
hams defiance Of the Reed "slush
fund" committee back in March,
1928. At that time, he declined to
give the committee any information
about $4,000 gift, attributed to
him. to the primary campaign fund
OF WAliam s. Ware, then candidate
for a senatorial toga in Pennsyl.
vania. Ware subsequently won the
primary and the following election,
but the Senate refused to admit
him to its membership.
Cunningham has been 'under ar.
rest" since March 1928. He bids
fair to remain under arrest" al.
most indefinitely-or until the SUI
preme Court has passed upon an
other senatorial case pending
against him. This is the case
based on his indictment for con-
tempt of the Reed committee.
1t was in early March of 1928
that Cunningham flouted the COM
mittee. He has been in the courts
ever since, fighting vainly against
punishment. On March "a. 1928. the
Senate first ordered his arrest. A
deputy sergeant-at-arms took the
senates warrant to Philadelphia
and arrested him.
