last week the overwhelmingly DEM

welt revolution that was nothing
short of devastating. First by a
254-to-l34 vote it ordered a five-man
special investigation of the admin

posed it. Republicans numbering
$50, voting almost their solid minor

rebel Democrats put their President

80 Democrats and l57 Republicans
rammed through the Hatch bill to
end 'pernicious political prac-
tices" in general and in particular

passed the bill virtually without dis

MAN WITH FL0WERY WORDS BUT WITH WIT AND HUM0R
 NOW NEEDED IN U. S. SENATE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS. - There is an opening in the Senate for a man with a flow of fine flowery words edged with wit and humor.
 It would be possible, in fact, to forget the fine and flowery diction If only a new face would show up with wit and humor. It is too late to pick one out of the electorate. That chance passed last November. But there are a number of new and comparatively untried senatorial fledglings who could make a public career for themselves if they only would barb their quips and at the same time grace them with good humor. Of the dozen or so Young Turks" of the 1882, '34, or '36 vintage, there were many serious minds but not solitary one has blossomed yet into a worthy ribber.
 It is a dangerous business at least more dangerous than simply being placid senatorial stick. Sena- tors jabbed by a prickly wit will gang up to take him down peg, and be it recorded there is nothing so flat as deflated wit. But 8 man who can take it from all sides can be the subject of headlines and parlor conversation until the end of time

Must Keep British Support Is CIaim-Nazi 6overn-

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

The French Cabinets decision to stake it's life on continued noninter- vention in the Spanish Civil War is reported as Gen. Francois Insur- gent forces edged closer to Barcel- ona and are said to have virtually encircled the Capital City of the Government of Spain.
 At a meeting with President Le- brun, the Daladier Government is reported to have rejected the Leftist demands to aid the Government of Spain. The decision was reached in the controversy that has stirred the Nation from top to bottom. It is known that the Italian Government is supporting the Insurgents.
 Neutrality Necessary
 Foreign Minister Bonnet told the Cabinet, according to reliable sourc- es, that continued neutrality is nec- essary to hold the support of Great Britain in other European matters of a political nature.
 The information is given out that the Government will take confi- dence vote on the nonintervention policy when the Foreign Affairs de- bate concludes next Friday
 The British Government, it is authoritatively reported, has reaf- firmed it's similar policy of keeping hands off the Spanish Civil War.
 Nazi Changes
 Meanwhile, rumors of far reaching changes in Germany's Nazi Admin istration are current but Berlin of- ficial sources declined to comment on the report that Field Marshal Goering will emerge more than ever as Germany's Number Two man becoming Vice-Chancellor and Min ister of War while Propaganda Min ister Goebbels will become Chief of Germany's District leaders in the Cabinet status but surrendering the important propaganda press duties

HUEY THE MASTER

The late Huey Long was the latest complete master. He once took on three Senators at time, backed one after another blushing into his seat by pointing out their own political tomfooleries and then rubbed it in mercilessly by adding:
 When you want fight, don't pick on porcupine."
 He spent hours goading the late Majority Leader Robinson into a lather of fury and only once was taken into camp. Senator Ashurst of Arizona, scholar, wit and gen. tleman extraordinary, left Huey fairly jibbering by excoriating him in exquisite but telling language to which even the Kingish could not reply. He didn't bite another Senator for days.
 There are only two Senators now with flair for wit and the bravery to exercise it, and each is proficient only in limited fields. Besides Sen- ator Ashurt there is Senator Ton Conally of Texas who will boldly wave aside telling point in argu- ment in order to make wise crack or point up a good story.

FIRST EXPONENT,
 FEDERAL RELIEF,
 DIES IN DENVER
Edward Costigan, Nofed in Many Ways, Passes Away
 Suddenly Last Night

DENVER, GuI., Jan. 18.-Edward P. Costigan, 64, who in 1881 became one of the first Senators to demand direct Federal relief for jobless, died last night at his home here as the result of a sudden heart attack.
 Long a disciple of liberalism and reform in politics and government, Costigan twice changed his political Party allegiance before he was elect ed as Democrat to the United States Senate from Colorado ill 1880 On April g, 1886, he announced he would not seek reelection because of i'll health.
 ( Costigan's first venture in nation al politics had come in 1912, when he left the Republican party to aid in organizing Theodore Roosevelt's Progressive party in Colorado. He was the Bull Moose" candidate for governor of Colorado in 1912 and 1914.
 Supported Wilson
 Two years later, Costigan swung to the Democratic standard, SUD- porting Woodrow Wilson in the 1916 presidential campaign. President Wilson appointed him to the federal tariff commission in 1917. He re- mained on the commission until 1928, when he resigned with strong denunciation of the body for as- serted incompetence.
 Costigan was sent to Europe in 1918 to represent President Wilson in tariff and trade discussions with foreign powers. The special mission took him into intricate conferences on reciprocal trade treaties and tar if adjustments with the allied na- tions in the closing months of the World War. He also studied Euro- pean industrial plants, assembling data on comparative costs of their products and similar American goods.
 Gathers Data
 The material he gathered was laid before President Wilson as possible basis for proposed tariff legislation and treaties, but it was several years before the tariff commission actu- ally made use of his data. The end of the war, Wilson's trip to Paris for peace negotiations and his sub- sequent ill health. plus return to power of the Republican party in 1920 forestalled the tariff revision Costigan had proposed.
 In the Senate, Costigan won early recognition by co-authorship of the Jones-Costigan bill, designed to aid sugar beet growers through bounty payments. He was the vigorous spon- sor of anti-lynch law legislation, a supporter of labor movements, and an ardent adherent to President Roosevelt's New Deal

 The deficiency bill apportions the following amounts to the offices named: Office of Attorney General, $500 for travel expenses, $200 con- tingent office expenses, $250 court costs; Auditor, $2,000 for vital sta- tistics, $1,000 for contingent office expenses, $500 for extra clerical help; Public Welfare, $6,894.46 for office expense and 72,49241 for re- lief of destitute, needy and indi- gent; Treasurer. $4,000 for salaries, travel expenses, clerical assistance. contingent office expense and Ter ritorial liquor stamps; for wolf and coyote bountries, $85,000.

 The bill was passed to second reading.
 30-Day Session
 The joint memorial proposed by Representative Spencer, asks Con- gress to amend the Organic Act, which provides for a biennial ses- sion of the Territorial Legislature for sixty days, so that the act will also provide for a 30-day session on even numbered years.
 | Under this set-up, the Legisla- lture would meet here in long session on odd numbered years and in short" session on even num- bered years, the idea advanced. ac- cording to the bill, because of "ad- vances in development of natural resources and conditions affecting such development and problems arising from the conservation of natural resources, and because of the need for a more active asSocia- ton between the National Govern ment and the Territorial Govern ment.'
 In the report of committees to- day, the Ways and Means Con- mittee reported in House Bill No 12, regarding an s8O,0O0 appropria- ton for transportation of school students, with recommendation of amendment to make the bill read with reference to the $80, ,000-"or as much thereof as is necessary"
