In the democratic slump In old Tennessee last year
Rep. Reece. a republican, pushed his face into the
picture OF the house Of representatives. He knows
where TO find his hat.
He Is a champion OF far~m-to-market or rural post
roads over which rural carriers travel in serving rural
routes other than those included In the federal aid
road system.
He has introduced a bill which calls for an appro-
priation Of sl90,000,00o to be expended In improve
ments of these rural postroads or highways.
Thirteen republican senator's voted against the
$3.50 0o, 900 income tax cut. Their leaders insisted
that the money should be appropriated for the build
ing Of highways where highways are needed.
They won three democratic senators to their cause.
Now where will Rep. Reece get the money for his ru-
raj postroads il there is mo revenue in sight"

George Roger Clarke. a son Of Old Virginia. is one
of the immortals Of American history. He was a he
roic soldier. a dauntless pathfinder, a master among
the aces of early explorers. a knightly sort Of a
knightly commonwealth who added q vast empire to
the American republic.
He died In poverty.
A golden sword was presented to him by the vir-
ginia legislature when he needed money to buy the
necessities Of life. He not only died in poverty but
died broken hearted for the reason that his fellow
men had failed to recognize his wonderful achieve
ments as the pathfinder and maker Of an empire.
Now Rep. Vestal. an Indiana republican lawmaker.
has introduced a bill to authorize an additional $780,
900 for the George Rogers Clarke memorial to be
constructed at Vincennes.
In the long ago the pathfinder endured all the
privations Of poverty in his old age. Now he is TO be
given q memorial monument that viii pierce the
clouds.
Why not flowers for the living instead OF brass or
marble monuments for the dead?

JUDGE NULLIF|ES
 PRISON SENTENCE
Warren, Mass, Bank AbSconder
 Ordered Set at Liberty

Boston. Jan. r (UP)-Joseph F. Marsino of Chicago. who wrecked 1he First National bank Of Warren in 1923. was ordered set at liber- " yesterday by Federal Court Judge Elisha H. Brewster.
 About seven years ago Marsino absconded with more than $2QQ,0Q0 assets of the Warren bank. Ar rested late in 1923 by federal off cers on a charge of nisapplcation of funds, he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years and three months at Atlanta Federal pcniten- tiary. While there Massachusetts authorities secured a federal waiv- er and he was tried in Worcester on larceny and conspiracy indict- ments, He was sentenced to five years in state prison. \ tWo-year jail sentence was also imposed, 10 he served after com pleton of the state prison term.
 Two sentences Lifted
 Judge BreWster's decision was based on revised statutes which rendered null and void state court action taken against a federal prisoner who has pending an ap- peal before the United States su- preme court. Marsino had made such an appeal. As result, he is relieved not only of the state prison sentence but also of the two year jail sentence.
 Both federal and state authorities were in a quandary today as to means by which Marsino's release will be effected. Judge Brewster's order is unprecedented, they said, and just how Warden James L. Hoesott will be able to set Marsno at liberty was undecided today.
