question came before the Senate
Privileges and Elections Commit
tee.
Today, the opposing group will
vigorously fight a report Of the
committee majority ruling in
favor of the West Virginian.
This report will be presented to-
day by Senator George (DO, of
Georgia, chairman of the Privi-
leges and Elections Committee.
The Georgian plans to ask that
the report lie on the table for
one day under the rule.
This action was calculated to
postpone the seating of Holt at
least one day, and was in agree
ment with request from McNary.
The Republican leader threatened
to block consideration of the pend
ing social security bill, if the Sen
ate attempted to seat Holt with
out debate.
Seeks Action Today
The West Virginian himself
planned to seek action in the late
afternoon when the social security
measure has been adopted by the
Senate.
Although the minority group
will wage a brisk verbal battle over
the Holt question, the powerful
Democratic majority admittedly
will prevail.
Holt will be supported by the
Senate insurgent Republican bloc
almost to a man. Included among
those who plan speeches in his
defense were Senator LaFollette,
Wisconsin Progressive; Senator
Shipstead F.-LO of Minnesota,
Senator Norris (R0 of Nebraska,
Senator Borah (RO of Idaho, and
several others.

NORTON PLEA

Legislation to provide Washing
ton with subways and to give local
citizens suffrage was urged today
by Representative Mary T. Norton
CD of New Jersey, chairman OF
the House District Committee, in
response to laudatory addresses
made at the presentation of an oil
painting of the chairman.
The painting, by Elaine Hartley
Levine, youthful washington
painter, was unveiled by Mrs
Eleanor Patterson, publisher OF
the Washington Herald. Mrs
Patterson called attention to the
zeal with which Mrs. Norton has
worked for the District. She
named a list of laws which Mrs
Norton has been active in pushing
through Congress. and referred
particularly to construction of the
tuberculosis hospital at Glen
Dale, Md.
Eulogies were sounded also by
Senator Barbour CD of New Jer
sey, DR.. George C. Havenner, Com
missioner Melvin c. Hazen, Public
Printer George Giegengack anc
Minority Leader Bertram Smell
Representative Vincent PalmiSanC
CD of Maryland received the por
trait on behalf of the committee
1t was hung at the head of the
committee table.
Before the large crowd that
jammed the committee room, Mrs
Norton responded with the state
ment that anything she had done
for the District was due to the
splendid cooperation she had re
ceived from the members of com
mittee. She said:
Despite the many things that
the committee and I have been
able to do for the District of
Columbia, will never be salts
fled until the people here can
govern themselves.
II hope that the committee
will take up national representa-
ton for the people in the Dis
trict at the next session Of
Congress.
"I also suggest that District
residents urge upon Congress
the necessity of building sub
ways here to make the streets
safer and to prevent so many
people being killed in street
accidents.
81 believe that this is the time
to take this matter up and sug-
gest that the residents decide
where they want the subways
placed. Under the PWA grants,
it could be accomplished in the
near future"

NICE SEES |CKES
On PNA JOBS

Gov. Harry w. Nice, Of Mary

Administrator Ickes today in an
effort to prevail upon the admin
istrator to allow exceptions to
several recent rulings concerning
spending of the new PWA fund.
Unless the exceptions are
granted, the governor said, the
Maryland public works program
will have to undergo a thorough
revamping, and the construction
of the proposed new Chesapeake
Bay bridge may have to be
dumped overheard, since the cost
of materials for such a project is
considered too high compared to
the actual direct labor it would
produce, under some Of the rul-
ingS.
Neither Governor Nice nor Sec

N. j., James Cunningham Rogers
chairman of the church board,
said:
1--WE rented our church hall
for this play in good faith,
knowing nothing about it.
Since then it has ben called
to our attention that the play
contains much that is ques-
tionable.
"The church hall is often
rented out, and the church can
not be held responsible for what
is said. But this question is 50
serious that we are giving it
much attention, and / do not
know just what action we can
take.
Certainly our church does
not wish to allow obscenity and
Communism to be spread"
Representative Thomas r. Am.
lie (Progressive) Of Wisconsin, one
of the members Of Congress listed
as a sponsor of the play, said:
"I have not read the play, but
friends of mine who have are
enthusiastic. They say as a
work of art it has unusual quail
ity. I understand that it is a
bit realistic, however"
The realism" of the play con.
sists in referring to the under.

Profanity Plentiful
There is barroom phraseology
profanity and filth all throughout
the text of the play, copies Of
which are being sold at a Com
munist book shop downtown
There is a reference to President
Roosevelt as leader of the yWork
erS."
One bit of Communist propa.
ganda in the play comes in a
dialogue between a Stenographer
and an unemployed actor. At this
point there is a direct reference tc
the Communist Manifesto.
Schneider Defends Play
Representative George J.
Schneider, another Wisconsin Pro
greSSive who is sponsoring the
play, said:
81 do not consider this a COM
muniStic play. 1t is a labor
play.
'T was asked to lend my name
to the production in the hope it
would be success and I did so.
1 have not read the play, but I
have read a summary Of it, and
1 consider it a fine play"
Mr.. Schneider did not reply to a
question as to what he thought
of the profanity in the script.
Representative vito Marcan'

as a sponsor, was quoted by the
