BY RUTH FINNEY
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 22.-The
Senate Lobby Committee this week
will look into the suspicious of sew
eral congressman that tombstones
as we'll as telephone directories pro-
vided the names signed to some of
the protests against the Wheeler
Rayburn utilities holding company
bill.
The committee has received from
Rep. James M. Mead d., N. " Sd
kilograms sent him from Hamburg,
N. Y, signed by names which proved
to be unknown at this address"
Rep. Mead attempted to acknowl-
edge the kilograms and got his let
tiers back from the PoStoff1ce De-
partment.
Words Used Over and Over
The wording of all but one of the
ga kilograms was used more than
once, sometimes over and over.
Each telegram had 10 words or
less.
Such legislation as Wheeler
Rayburn bill not necessary. Vote
against" was the favorite kilograms.
1t appeared nine times in the stack
of messages, signed with nine diff
ferent names.
Vote no and use influence against
Rayburn Wheeler bill" was sent
seven times. with different Signers
"Rayburn- Wheeler bill vicious
unwarranted; use influence; vote
against it," Show the boys who is
boss, defeat Rayburn- Wheeler bill;
DO all in your power 20 defeat
Rayburn Wheeler BILL" and Why
continue destruction with such leg
islation. as Wheeler Rayburn bill''
were sent six times each.
Other Forms Disclosed

bill to pass; vote against" appeared
five times in the stack, and so did
give business a chance for recovery,
defeat Rayburn- Wheeler bill"
Other forms we're: please op-
pose Rayburn- Wheeler legislation,
which is vicious and n-American, 3"
please oppose Rayburn- Wheeler
bill; believe investors have lost
enough; Greatly opposed to Ray
burn Wheeler legislation. vote
against it,; and Save our invest
ments, vote no on Rayburn utility
bill"
Rep. Alfred F. Better d., N. "
received similar messages and had
the same experience when he tried
to answer them, he and Mr.. Mead
found by comparing notes. Both re-
ceived large stacks of messages. The
"a from Hamburg were singled out
as sample.
Names Used Illegally
Rep. Better has turned over to
the House Rules Committee, which
has a lobby investigation of it's own
under way, a series of letters indi-
eating that the signatures of some
persons were used without author
ity, and that in other cases sigma
lures were obtained by threats and
Misrepresentation.
F. r. Park wrote him: 81 received
letter from you yesterday referring
to my communication to you rela-
tive to the holding company bill. I
have written no such letter. 1t looks
to me as though some one we're US
ing my name Illegally"
Another letter spoke of having
signed a telegram to him only be
cause we all like to keep eating"
Il wish to say this has been mis-
represented to me-" said another. 81
am not in favor of holding COM
panies."

THEN he went to the Heuse-
l. man Garage, Aurora, accom-
panied by Mr.. Woods. and gave a
certified check for $875, drawn on
the Mercantile Commercial Bank
and Trust Co., st. Louis, Mo, for
a new car, which he drove away.
1t was at this time that the
bank reported back that it had
not been consulted by Mr.. Rogers
on his financial matters, and that
he had no funds there, and fur
thermore was not known there.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-07-22

This put a serious monkey
wrench in the distillery machin-
cry and Mr. Woods and Mr..
Heuseman went out to look up 1dr.
Rogers to suggest that perhaps
he should have done business in
a more orthodox manner.
But they couldn't find him. 1t
seems he had an urgent appoint
ment somewhere, but he forgot TO
say where. Police now are look
ing for him. Meanwhile, plans for
the distillery are at a standstill.

The Constancy of Mother Love
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK
Cor. 13:S-Love never faileth

/ Cor. 13:8-LOve never faileth
A mothers love is the most constant
affection in the world. No ingratitude
can sour it; no infdelity can destroy it.
An example is the mother of Fried
rich Nietsche, the apostle of paganisin
in Germany, one of the most formida-
BILE enemies the Church has ever
known. Curiously, Nietsche's father
was a Christian minister and his
mother a pious, devout woman. She
brought her boy up in reverent home
and in his early years he loved to read
the Bible. But in later years he be-
came a bitter enemy of Christianity.
Of course, by his infidelity he broke
his mothers heart. By his venomous
attacks on the faith he crucifed The
one who loved him most.
Perhaps his fanatical hatred of re-
ligion was the first symptom of in
sanity, which later destroyed his bril-
liant intellect. At the age of forty-fve
He sui eISu d ColHpleGC UASohuoWA'
But as soon as his gray-haired and
sorrow-stricken mother heard that her
hayward son was in an asylum, she
hurried to him, took him back into her
home-this mother whom he had cru
cited.
Will Durant, in his "Story of Philos-
ophy," says: what a picture! The
pious mother who had borne sensi-
lively but patiently the shock of hel
sons apostasy from all she held dear,
and who, loving him nonetheless, re-
ceived him now into her arms, like
another Pieta."
The never-failing, ever-forgiving
love of motherhood is the most per-
feet incarnation in this world of the
never-failing, ever-forgiving love Of
God revealed in Jesus Christ, our Saw
Jour and Lord.
