came as somewhat of a surprise to- day.
 Senator Culhane when asked by the Democrat today to confirm or deny the reports stated that he would have his say on the floor of the senate this afternoon and not before that time. He did add, though that he considered that during the 1887 legislative session he bad been abused by the senate and that many of his bills had been discarded or allowed to die.
 Buzzing With Comment
 The Capitol was buzzing with comment when the news of Senator Culhane'S stand was heard. His in tention to seek Judge McGrathS re- moval from the Waterbury City Court bench was far from well re- ceived. Judge McGrath is not mere ly we'll known in Waterbury and Connecticut but throughout the country and his court opinions have been widely quoted. He has served g years on the city court bench and needs only to serve two more to be eligible for retirement under the Waterbury pension retirement act.
 McGrath, MascolO Sure
 The Democrat heard on good au- thority that despite all efforts to the contrary Judges McGrath and Mascolo would be renamed by Gov. Cross, who also will reappoint Sen- ator Cooney a County Commission CT.

It was rustic, in effect, with f1aring skirt. The sleeves were puffed out at the shoulders and close to the arms above the elbows, leaving the lower arms bare. The dress was spangled with hand-painted roses and daisies.
 The chapel could accommodate only a selected 200 for the funeral.
 The program included songs: Sweet Mystery of Life" sung by Nelson Eddy, and Indian Love Call," sung by Jeanette Mcdonald. They were among Miss Harlows nearest friends and the songs were her favorites.

 The test was set officially for Thursday out there was a possibility of it coming sooner. In Monroe, local authorities mobilized special officers preferably men with mili- tary experience" to protect work CTS who want to return to the Re- public mill in defiance of the c. I. O.'s seven state steel strike.
 Zero Hour Postponed
 'The zero hour had first been set for p. m. 6 p. m. EDT) today, but was postponed until a. m. to- morrow. The Monroe plant is that of the Republic subsidiary, the New ton Steel company.
 Attention was centered on Mon roe as the prospective scene of the first mill reopening since the strike against three independent steel com- panies began two weeks ago.
 Republic charged that the c. I. O. had adopted the policy of planned terrorism to prove violence existed. The c. I. O., in answer. renewed its demands that Ohio authorities dis arm the steel companies.
 Railroads brought increasing pres sure on Governor Martin L. Davey of Ohio for positive action to stop iz.fa fhnivs tiN1, into picketed mills.
 Republic awaited a formal reply to its demand on the postoffice de- partment for acceptance of parcel post consignments of food to be- sieged mills. The department said unofficially that it could not change its policy; that the company should use its own trucks. The company threatened to sue unless the depart ment changed its mind.
 Asks Veterans to Help
 Mayor Daniel A. Knaggs of Mon- roe said he would swear in as many special officers "as are necessary" to help the regular force of 50 to pro- tect returning workers. He asked World war veterans especially to volunteer. Governor Frank Mur- phy promised Knaggs that if the situation got out of hand, "the state will give whatever protection is nec- essary for peace and order in the community, put the state cannot participate in the strike"
 Charles Riser, regional director of the S. w. o. C., asserted that they're not going to open up that plane." He said the strikers at Mon- roe had been promised support from "every c. O. O. affiliate in Detroit and Toledo" Riser disputed valid- ity of the vote in which, according to Monroe officials, about two- thirds of the workers balloted to return to their jobs.

HOUSE STARTED
 CELEBRATIONS
(Continued from Page D
Desks Had Gifts

The desks of most legislators were piled high with gifts, many of the pranks. While the house gave vent to its feelings, the governor and his dem- ocratic senators were endeavoring to bring about last-minute agreement on judgeships, the budget, taxes and few other controversial subjects involved in patronage distribution. Senators were not expected to join the merriment until the work of the upper branch was definitely con- cluded.
 French Helmet Used
 The paper barrage in the house became so dense that gray-haired Speaker Mortimer Bell, Salisbury, donned a trench helmet.
 He mounted the rostrum and rap ped for order.

 Paper wadding. house calendars rolled into hard balls, wrapped news papers and other hand mlssels flll- ed the air and Bell beat a haSty retreat.

 The roaring became so loud that echoes filtered into the halls as far as the governors chambers.
 Woman in Green
 Mrs. Heilen B. Mitchell, republi- can representative from Greenwich, stirred the interest of other women legislators by appearing in a green silk print dress, sprinklcd with all of the letters of the alphabet.
 A recruit from an office building was pressed into service to play piano which was trundled in at the last minute. The crowd began sing ing we've been working on the Railroad"
 Mrs. Mitchell gained the floor and asked:
 "Why not sing, Yves Been Work ing on the Judgeships?" A mad cheer broke out. RepreSen- tative Daniel J. Mahaney, democrat, Waterbury, who fought Mrs. Kitch- ells billboard restriction bill throughout the session, leaped to the fore with 8 rolled calendar in his hand and led the singing.
 "Whoop 'er up boys" he yelled. With paper knee-deep on the floor, legislators went into a snake dance.
 A woman accordianist Seranaded 1 Speaker Bell and house members took up the chant, singing "Old Man Bell Amt What He Used to Be 20 Years Ago." to the tune of The Old Gray Mare"
 Hell R0arin'" Bell
 Bell, known to every legislator as Hell Roarin' Bell, fled to the dem- ocratic side of the house. There he was surrounded by flock of women who tried to hold him captive. Put ting a wire waste-paper basket over his head to protect him from fly ing papers, the 73-year-old lawyer hurdled two rows of seats and lied to the rostrum The frolic continued at terrific pace and the funsters appeared in- ] exhauStable.

Amend Culhane Bill

The house today amended the Senator George T. Culhane bill on the sale of assets of closed banks. The senate, it was understood, will concur with the house on the bill. The amendment leaves the set-up just as it is now with permission of the superior court alone neces- sary to authorize sale of assets. Senator Culhane sought to have approval of such transactions given by representatives of the deposits in the closed institutions.

Daly were closeted with Governor Cross. It was believed the matter under dis cussion was judgeships until Gov. Cross himself issued statement to the Democrat in which he said that it was held to talk over the budget and not resolutions.
 When asked about special ses- sion Gov. Cross said there was a possibility, but not to name judges. He pointed out that it would be held to straighten out the state highway bill by which the de- partment is merged with the new public works office governed by Robert F. Hurley, former WPA boss in the state. The governor wants the highway department divorced from the new office.
 Fire District
 The senate passed the bill in con- currence with the house today en- larging the territory of the Oakville fire district to the west and south and also giving it permission to buy water from the city of Waterbury, WatertoWn fire district of the Oak vile company. It is expected that when the city of Waterbury builds it's second pipe line from the Morris reservoirs down through Watertown water will be available to all sec tionS through which it may pass.

n opponents Edwin Z. Hill
of the Supreme Court bill decide
to talk it to death. or should they
feel themselves required to do so
by the lack of majority to defeat
it, they are strong enough numer-
ically to prevent the limitation of
debate.
Filibusters have been known to
the Senate for almost a century,
or since Henry Clay's fiscal bills
were buried under an avalanche
of words in 1840. Less than two
years ago, June II and 13, 1885,
Senator Huey P. Long, of Louisi-
ana, put on a one-man show, a con-
tinuous performance which lasted
1872 hours and which failed of
its purpose, which was the defeat
of the Stop-gap NRA.
Why should such tactics be
permitted? Such question comes
naturally, and quite as naturally
comes the answer from Senator
Borah, who says:
Free debate has its evils,
but controlled debate is intOl-
cradle. Controlled debate in
both houses would simply be a
national disaster"
FREE DEBATE
Borah, who never has filibus'
tered in his 30 years in the Sen
ate. made this comment immedi
ately after Senator Longs fill
buster when Senator Robinson
suggested the outlawing of one
man filibusters. Borah is unques
tionably right. Gag.rule in both
houses would be unbearable in
that it would stifle completely
the opposition party and work to
the detriment of minorities, which
need protection most of all when
they are overwhelmingly outnum
bered in legislative bodies.
The House of Representatives
limits it's debate for the reason
that if every one of 500 men coulc
talk as long as he is pleased or
any and all measures, the result
would be chaos. Because of this
restriction and because of the cur
tailment of the Speakers powers
done in the days of Joe Cannon
the House, in the public eye, does
not loom as important as the
Senate.
The Washington times., 1937-03-23
The Human Side of the News
Bv Edwin C.. Hill

, The last spectacular filibuStel
in the House occurred in 1911 anC
was brought about by an actor
of the Senate in eliminating q
House clause from a claims bill
Speaker Cannon refused to ad
journ the session and made his
famous ruling:
To-day is yesterday"
"The rules won't allow that.
1t can't be DONE" screamed one
of the Representatives.
"NOw," said Cannon calmly,
"that reminds me of story. 4
fellow was put in Jail for some
minor Offense and his lawyer,
visiting him, said: BY heavens,
sir, they can't put you in Jail
for that" And the prisoner
replied just as excitcdly: BY
heavens, sir, I'm in Jail just the
same!'"
All filibusters are not funny
but most of them are dramatic,
save to the Senators who are
compelled to lose their sleep and
whose nerves get on edge because
of this. That of Senator Huey
Long in June of 1885 was remark
able for the endurance and the
facility of speech shown by the
Senator from Louisiana. In his
fifteen hours and thirty-five
minutes of talk, he got very few
respites, because, as determined as
he was to talk the NEA stop-gap
bill to death. a little group Of
Senators was just as determined
that they would outlast him. This
was to be done by refusing ad
journment of the session. which
Long pleaded for time and again
He didn't get 1t, and when al
last he ceased talking. a vote was
had and the measure passed.
LONGS FILIBUSTER
What do filibustering Senator
talk about for hours at time
The answer is. anything and every
thing. Senator Long diScourset
on the Bible, the Greek classics
his fight with Jim Farley, tn,
methods of frying oysters ant
making pot-likker and the plac
in history of Frederick the Great
At one point he put this question
to Vice President Garner:
"Whatever became of the
sword which Frederick the Great
presented to George Washing
ton?"
Despite the annoyance of fill
husteriny end the ridiculous ligh
in which it sometimes puts tn
Senate, the members of that bod
will think long and hard befor
ending the practice.
The Senator who Is against tc
days filibuster may be the on
who tomorrow wishes to talk
bill to death. Most of them agree
too, with Borah's judgment tina
for every good bill killed by tn
rule of unlimited debate, a dozel
bad laws are kept off the Statut4
books.
