Representative Luther Patrick,
Alabama's gift to radio and
Congress, has growing pains.
In taking 1t out on the mem
berS on the other side Of the
House, he exclaimed:
1.-THE Republican Party was
organized at Jackson, Mich,
on July 6, 1854, and dedicated
to the principle that the Con-
stitution Of the United States
was a covenant with Death
and an agreement with HELL
and they said, There is a
higher law than the ConStitu-
ton. Let us tear it up and
throw it out Of the window
Thus came the Republican
Party. Whenever they get up
defending the Constitution
they give me q pain where I
would rather have pleasure"
Representative Robert Rich
couldn't resist an attempt to get
in on such a broad assertion and
arose to his feet to ask permits
sion to interrupt Mr.. Patrick,
but the gentleman refused his
request and added:
II mean by that, 1t gives me
D pain in the neck"
And later:
ut Is blasphemy when q Re
publican stands UP and tries
to say he is defending the Con-
stitution of the United States
from q Democrat. It cannot
be. I just amt like that"

Congress as a "Constituent-at-
Large" and gave the impression
that he came from the wide,
open spaces, but had a mailing
address in New York, has given

signed off.
In his last open letter to the
members he opines that Con.
greSS will adjourn by the fit.

than annoy the members when

of North Carolina, who has dug

According to a Federal re-
port, in 1887, the year the
Constitution was framed, the
surplus food produced by 10
farmers went to feed one
city person. In recent average
years 10 persons on farms
have produced enough food

and financiers, Pierre DUPONT and
John Raskob, appeared tefore the
United States Board of Tax Appeals

gagged in fictitious stock sales to each
other to establish losses in their 1929

Anaconda Copper Warner Brothers.

whereby they would sell the stocks to
each other and buy them back at the
same price later.
Leming said the alleged losses en-
tered 'bv Dupont and Raskob were not

that all claims for refunds are barred

sinking by government planes of the
insurgents heaviest warship, the Els

The recent apparent inactivity of

as due to the fact that the Jamie Pri-
me1o's big guns had only recently
been returned from Madrid.
When the siege of Madrid started
last July, the heavy guns were dis
mounted and secretly taken from the
