necticut from the Senate finance COM
mittee, because Of his employment OF
Charles L.. Eyanson, assistant to the
president Of the Connecticut Manufac-
turers' Association, to aid Bingham In
his work on the tariff bill, was suggested
today by Senator Dill pr washington
Democrat.
Senator Din made this suggestion in
an interview. He said that ne mao not
determined whether he would offer
resolution to that effect; that he was
inclined to walt for the Senate nnance
committee or the Senate lobby commit
tee. which has investigated the Eyanson
case, to make some move in the maCGeE.
During the debate in the Senate TO-DAY
on the Eyanson matter, Senator Dlii
interrupted Senator George OF georgia,
asking him what he thought the Senate
should do In regard to this case ana
whether Senator George had made up
his mind az to the course which should
be pursued. Senator George replied that
he had not reached any conclusion.
The Senate lobby committee submit
ted today to the Senate. through ltS
chairman, Senator Caraway OF Arkan-
sas, a report outlining the testimony
taken in regard to the employment OF
Eyanson by Senator Bingham. The
report made no recommendation. 80
far members of the committee have not
indicated what course. II any. they may
recommend with regard to this matter.
Senator Dill said he had high per-
Sonal regard for Senator Bingham ana
that he did not wish to impute dis
honest intentions to the Senator from
Connecticut He said, however, that
he believed some action should be taken
by the Senate and that the first step
should be the removal OF Senator
Bingham from the finance committee.
It has been suggested in some
quarters, Senator Dill said. that vote
of censure should be taken by the
Senate, criticiSing the employment OF
Eyanson by Senator Bingham. Senator
Dill expressed the opinion that removal
OF the Connecticut Senator from the
finance committee would be better
way OF dealing with the matter.
