SENATE LOOKS
ON MORROW AS
MYSTERY MAN
Silent New Jersey Figure
Merely Votes and Asks
Questions Galore.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press stan CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, March 6. - A
diininutive, inquisitive and unpre-
cedently silent United States senator
from New Jersey has left the sen
ate guessing.
Dwight w. Morrow entered the
senate last December to find ninety
flve colleagues wondering what he
would do. They still are wondering.
Morrow voted, talked privately
with every member, and did nothing
else.
He showed an amazing ability 10
ask questions Of senator's, clerks,
pages, newspaper men, and any one
else who happened by.
Morrow figured in a dozen legisla-
tive matters, but always in private,
out Of earshot Of alert senate re-
porters. His votes prove him to be
q reasonably regular party man.
Those ninety-flve colleagues are
wondering whether they have just
spent the winter in company with
a. prospective President of the
United States.
In the senate dining room, it was
