Built around the organizations Of

Since early September, components
of the new division, from various parts

components trained In their new
duties, the complete division was
brought together for a month of COM

midNovember with a 600-mile cross

seem strange that Henry Clay, who
with Webster dominated the scene

should thus be neglected, although his
native State of Kentucky has remem-

and dozen more who might be
named?
OF all the men who explored
America, none is so commemorated

Three men Of religion have had
statues erected to them in outdoor

Interesting, too, is the fact that
while there is a public statue in Wash

South America"
THERE is a long-standing contro-

John Paul Jones. At any rate, both

from command of the advance to

may command the two regiments in

The first real legislative battle
of the new Congress developed in
the Senate today over an $685.
100000 relief appropriation in the
S934,000.000 first deficiency ap-
preparation bill.
The relief total was assalled
from all sides with different
groups fighting it for different
reasons. The most important at
tack came from 13 Senators led
bv senator Wheeler Cd of Mon
tana. who demanded a total OF
1000 million dollars for relief be-
cause of the necessity for Federal
aid in the flood-devaStated areas
Lodge Leads Fight
Senator Lodge (RD of Massa-
chusettS, led a less formidable at
tack, designed to turn expenditure
of relief funds over to State gov
ernsments upon apro-rata basis.
A third assault was directed by
members of the Senate's various
special investigating committees
against a house rider forblddlng
use of WPA workers in congress
Sional inquiries.
Opponents Of the rider feared
it would lead to other proposals
to forbid use Of departmental eX-
perts in congressional inveStiga'
tions. thereby Gripping them.
Some powerful leaders, however,
opposed the idea of using funds
appropriated for the destitute to
employ congressional investigators.
Inquiries to Continue
There is no ban in the bill
against employment Of persons on
relief rolls by congressional lnvestl-
eating committees.
Throughout the week special
Senate committees will continue
their inquiries. These include the
La Toilette committee investigating
violations of civil liberties, with Of
ficials of the Pinkerton and other
agencies serving automobile COM
panies on the stand.
Hearings will be resumed today
by a Senate judiciary subcommlt-
tee on the O'Mahoney bill to re-
uuire all corporations engaged IN
interstate commerce to have a Fed
