DALLAS, Tex, March 2e.-A suit
seeking to oust w. Lee O'Daniel
from the Senate was filed today in
State District Court by Charles La
vergne Somerville of Dallas.
Mr.. Somerville was an unsuccess-
full candidate for the Office on the
Peoples United party ticket in the
last November 3 general election. He
received 1884 votes, according to
official returns.
The petition contests the election
of Senator ODaniel and asks the
court to vacate the Office on the
grounds that the Senator failed to
file full and complete reports on
campaign expenses.
Sheriff Smoot Schmid planned to
serve the citation on Senator ODan-
iel here this afternoon.
The petition alleged that the only
report filed for Mr.. O'Daniel was one
by his wife for $7,432.34 and that
this was subterfuge and decep-
ton.
This report amounted to not more
than per cent of the candidates s
actual campaign expenses, Mr.. Som

CALCUTTA, March 29.-Abdul
Kasem Fazlul Hug, Moslem Premier
OF Bengal, submitted his resignation
today to Gov Sir John Arthur Her
bert. who announced its acceptance.
The resignation was taken by OBJ
servers to indicate the growing
power of Mohammed Ali Jinnah,
president of the All-1ndia Moslem
League. Fazlul HUGS popularity
has waned steadily and he was re-
earded by the Moslems in Bengal as
lukewarm toward Jinnah and under
the influence of the Hindus.
Jinnah's political program does
not countenance compromise with
the Hindus. He demands the par
tition of India into separate, au-
tonomous Moslem and Hindu states.
Several months ago, in q
statement issued to American
correspondents, Fazlul Huq ex-
pressed his belief that II "the
United States were to take the
lead and intervene between the
British government and the In

partly as . striking weapon"
Riccardi, the writer said, was

ployed only to meet q direct assault
on Italy or Sicily.
The matter was referred to Mus
