ket bill passed now is because this summer. With a bull market and the public buying, he knows he would have as much chance for a stock market control bill as Herbert Hoover has of re- turning to the White House.
 That is why he has put the bill on his must" list for this session of congress.
 ELEVATOR SALES
 There is a strict regulation agaisst peddling and soliciting in the capitol, but recently a little girl selling post cards approach ed a stranger on an elevator of the senator office building.
 He bought one, gave her a dime and asked how business was.
 q could sell lot of cards if I could ride on this elevator all the time," she replied.
 So the kindly gentleman in- structed the elevator operator to let her ride. Furthermore word was passed out to capitol police, who snow turn their backs when the little girl approaches.
 The kindly gentleman was Senator Bachman of Tennessee. BOMBSHELL
 Texas Representative Hatton W. Summers is secretly prepar- ing a bombshell for the federal judiciary.
 The quiet chairman of the house judiciary committee con- templates the unprecedented step of demanding a wholesale inn peachment of federal judges on receivership racket charges. Jur- ists in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco are on Summers list for arraign- ment.
 Summers was prompted to act after receiving charges of wide- spread collision, fraud, ncIOtism and corruption. Federal judges, appointed for life and whose pay has been immune from re- auctions, were accused of con- niving in fragrant poodle prac- tices.
 Summers is also quietly work ing on legislation to simplify cumbersome impeachment pro cedure. Under the present tradi- tional method. the house must first order an impeachment, then the entire senate must sit as a court to pass on the evidence. This takes weeks, is costly, and congress is loathe to undertake it.
 Summers plans to hold im- peachment trials before special senate body, which would then recommend action to the entire chamber for decision.
