amendment to limit the use of the
free text books to public schools
and to provide that no books fur.
nished by the Board Of Education
should teach any theory contrary
to the American principle of sep.
aration OF church and state.
His amendment brought FORTH
considerable discussion by Sena.
tor Bruce Of Maryland, and Sena.
tor Bayard Of elaWare, and after
ii had lasted tor several minutes
other Senators became impatient
and demanded the Irregular order. .
Before HefIin proposed his con.
troversial amendment the Senate
had adopted an amendment pro.
posed by Senator Phipps Of Colo
RADIO. to limit the use of the free
text books to elementary and junior
high schools. It appeared that the

with HIS amendment.

The theory of detectives is sup.

The presence of a quantity of con-
crete in the basement explained why

indication that his death was caused
by injuries resulting from the plunge
into the basement was the fact that
