WroneIe on Point in
Row Over Dokoton's Seat
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senators Lucas, Democrat. of
Illinois and Ellender, Democrat.
of Louisiana disputed in the Sem
ate today whether Senator
LANCER, Republican, of North
Dakota had any advance knowl-
edge of the employment in his
behalf of the lawyer-son of a
Federal Judge before whom the
former North Dakota Governor
was tried and acquitted on per-
jury charge in 1895.
The dispute arose when Senator
Lucas, presenting the Senate Elec-
tion Committees contention that
Senator LANCER was not entitled to
a Senate seat because of moral
turpitude," challenged Senator Lam
gers testimony as to why he paid
s275 to Gale Wyman, son of Federal
District Judge A. Lee Wyman of
South Dakota.
Didn't Want to Offend Judge.
Senator LANCER testified at COM
mittee hearings that young Wyman
was employed without his knowledge
by James Mulloy, a former LANCER
political lieutenant, and the late
Chet Leedom. former close friend of
Judge Wyman's.
Senator LANCER said that when he
learned of the employment and was
asked by young Wyman for $275. he
felt he couldn't antagonize the
judges son" because the Judge was
trying me in court at that time"
Senator Lucas told the Senate that
the money was paid on a Saturday
afternoon after the conspiracy trial
was over.
He wasn't on trial as he stated
before the committee that he was"
Senator Lucas declared. The trial
was over"
The Illinois Senator also empha-
sized young Wyman did not appear
in the case as an attorney of rec
ord, but went to Bismarck, N. Oak,
from his home in Deadwood, S. Oak.
and registered at q hotel under an
assumed name.
Ellender Cites Good Excuse"
The evidence in the record shows
that Gov. LANCER didn't know Of this
employment" Senator Ellender in
terrupted
Why would he pay good, hard
money out if he didn't know of the
employment" Senator Lucas re-
piled
Il think he gave a legitimate ex-
cuse, Senator Ellender observed
L couldn't convince the Senator
from Louisiana If I argued from
here till doomsday," Senator Lucas
said.

1T is. Of course. obvious that the
war effort is primary task OF

Representative Testifies
At Hearing to Set
Housing Wage Rute
Earlier Story on Page BIZ

Charles Willis an official of the
Local Mo- 4. testified late TODAY At
the Labor Department prevailing
wage hearing that he believed his
organization had a larger member
ship than the higher scale "A Brick
layers Union, Local No. l.
Evidence submitted bv Mr. Willis
was the first today bearing directly
on the fact that building trades
unions aff1liated with the A. F. l..
have two scales.
The hearing is to determine wage
scales to be used In carrying out the
Governments war housing program
in Washington.
The hearing was disrupted tenn
porarily this afternoon when Glenn
Lee. a member of the construction
firm of Banks and Lee, slumped to
the floor unconscious just after he
finished making a speech. He was
taken to Emergency Hospital where
his condition could not be immedi-
ately determined.
700 Membership Claimed.
Mr. Willis said his local had 500
fully paid members and 200 others
whose fees would be paid up within
a few weeks He said he understood
this total of TOO was larger than the
membership In No l.
The witness said his union was
sanctioned by the international
bricklayers organization, and that
agreement creating it was drawn up
by the International He said that
of a residential character when
built for sale or operation by the
builder. The hourly scale of the
union is Sl37i2, considerably under
that commanded by local No. l.
Questioned as to whether men,
bers of this union had ever worked
on projects of the Alley Dwelling
Authority or other Government
agencies, Mr. Willis said we have
never encroached That has always
been under jurisdiction of local
No. l."
Men Could Do Work.
Asked by John Locher, secretary
of the Washington Building Trades
Council, whether members of the
lower scale union could under their
charter work on Government hous-
ing projects. Mr.. Willis said they
could.
Mr.. Willis explained that they look
upon the A. D. A. or other Govern
ment agencies as they would upon
any private builder.
While he said that his lower
scale union was not affiliated with
the Washington Building Trades
Council. he added that both worked
under the A. F. L. and that men
from his organization transferred
from Local No whenever a job
might arise.
Throughout most of the after
noon private builders introduced
evidence in an attempt to show that
projects which they had built in
Washington are comparable in
character to Government housing
