Addressing the members and
spectators, Lieutenant Governor Ha-
eel expressed the hope that this
Legislature would establish rec
ord for its wise enactments and he
urged all to dedicate their efforts to
this end. In his address he said:
"My Friends: / esteem highly the
privilege have today of presiding
at the opening of this session of the
104 General Assembly of the State
of Delaware in this new and mag
nificent State Building. Here for
many generations will be made the
laws under which the people of this
commonwealth will live. What is
done here will decide in a large
measure the future happiness of our
people. Laws will be enacted here
under which the youth will be edu,
Gated, under which the resources of
our State will be developed, under
which the aged and infirm will be
cared for. Let us go about this mat
ter in an unselfish way, bearing in
mind the greatest good for the
greatest number.
II trust this 104th General Assem-
bly, will go down in the States his
tory for the wise and just legisla-
tion it enacted, legislation that will
not only maintain our State institu-
tions, but legislation that will pro-
tect the people from unnecessary
tax burdens, that will conserve the
excellent financial condition of our
State Government. To this end let us
dedicate our efforts, and we will re-
ceive the cOmmendation of the cit
izenry of our State"
Prayer was offered by the Rev. d. !
j. Givan, of Camden, who was the |
Senate chaplain at the special ses-
sion last November. He asked divine
guidance for the law makers in all
their deliberations during the ses-
sion.
Senator Griffenberg moved that
Senator w. Mailly Davis be made
the temporary secretary of the Sem
ate which motion prevailed without
Senator Davis called the
roll then Senator Griffenberg NOV
ed for a recess until o'clock and
the first regular session of the new
Senate was over.
During the exercises incident to
the opening of the session, DR.. r. +.
Corley, of Smyrna, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor, occupied seat on the ros-
trum at the side of Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Hazel. After his Inauguration
on January II, he will, by right of
his office, be the presiding officer of
The Senate, but he said today he was
doubtful as to how frequently he
would exercise this right.
Just prior to the opening of the
afternoon session Republican MEM
lers had brief caucus when il was
agreed to adjourn until Wednesday
1t noon. When the Senate again got
Inder way Senator Keith moved for
he adjournment. Senator Latchum
,alled attention to the fact that sew
sral members were absent so the
ergeant-at-arms was sent to round
hem up. When the motion came to
vote it was lost, to 8. Those sup
Dortihg it were: Senators Griffen-
,erg, Keith, Maull, McCauley, McIn-
ire, Van SAINT, Wharton, Davis.
Those opposing it were: Senators
'annon, Frasher, Glenn, Hart. Lat
hum, McCabe, Neugebauer, Simon
on and Steen.
This was the first indication of an
pen break in the ranks of the ma !
ority Republicans. Senator Simon {
on voting with the Democrats de- ]
eated the motion.
Senator SimontOn then moved /
hat the Senate adjourn until Thurs {
ay at noon. This motion prevailed. [

Iart, Latchum, McCabe. McTntire,

pposing it were:\ Senators Griffen-
erg, Keith, Maull, MeCauley, Van v
ant, Wharton, Davis. v
This last vote showed Senator Nc Il
ntire and Senator Simonton had v
TODD with the Democrats in sup e
ort of the motion. n

ying fast. Everything seems to be !
ncertain. q
