 S.B IT, to purchase for S15,000 the first Sydney Laurence painting of Mt. Mckinley, yesterday was the center of much flowery forensics but heights of oratory topping the gigantic peak itself were reached in debate this morning.
 Walker set the pace with jab at each of those Senators who had spoken for the bill, then attacked the measure itself. Highlight of his remarks was that a "six bit plate of ham and eggs would look much better to many. many people than the $l5,0o0 painting" After listening to few more opposition speakers, the proponents of the bill set up Senator o. D. Cochran as their champion and he upheld their highest hopes. After inferring envy of Walkers forensic abilities, the Nome Senator hung his remarks on the point of benefit to future generations to come from Territorial possession of the Lau- renee masterpiece.
 However. when the re-vote was counted up. five votes had swurg across to the Walker side and the painting purchase was defeated, ! to :. Shortly later Cochran an- nounced that pointing owner Frank I. Reed had withdrawn his offer to sell to the Territory.
 The Senate this morning sus- pended it's rules by unanimous con- sent and received one new bill, SB. 34, which makes an appropria- tion of S48,750 to purchase surplus bargains in additional radio equip ment for the Alaska Aeronautics and Communications Commission. The bill was referred to the Fin ance committee, after introduction by Senator Grenold Collins.

Casey of Massachusetts, now IVA execu- tive, was in Ireland recently to at tend the memorial services for the Iate Cardinal John Glennon of St. Louis, he had several discussions with Prime Minister Ramon de Valera and Sean O'Kelly, President of the Irish Free State.
