House Republicans Move
Ito Extend Maritime Probe
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

House Republicans laid the
groundwork today for a full -dress
investigation of the billion dollar
business of the Maritime Commis-
sion.
Party members disclosed that one
of the first things they will demand
when the new Congress convenes
January is that the House Mer-
chant Marine Committee be given
authority to extend its investigation
OF maritime activities.
While the Committee has been
inquiring into commission operations
for many months, Some things
haven't even been scratched" said
Representative Weichel, Republican,
of Ohio, Committee member.
The Ohioan said he is not satisfied
with progress of the investigation
to date and contended that some Of
the facts have been Suppressed"
Mr.. Weichel was joined in his
demand for a further inquiry by
Representatives Welch of California

my bed, worrying about whether
it was going to be too windy for
little plants, whether or not we were
going to have a cold spell, whether
the flowers had too much or too
little water, and whether or not 1t
had invested too much money in
plants.
haven't had good nights sleep
or a carefree day since 4 put in the
200 or 800 plants in my rock garden.
Part of my discomfort Is the result
of bending over to plant, weed and
water them. I now walk like a
chimpanzee, arms dangling, head
lowered. Beds are no longer COM
Portable because 1 can't straighten
out to lie down In them. What I
need is a good, stout limb to drape
myself over. I have been Looping
around the neighborhood looking
for a limb with an innerspring
mattress, but haven't found one
yet.
Filings Seeds Around.
Part of my discomfort comes from
the money I'm spending. I've gone
wilder than hog wild. Every flower
grower must have experienced what
I have. In the beginning, I just
bought some 10-cent packages of
seeds and flung 'em around. Then
I saw neighbor's garden. His
flowers were inches above the ground
green showed-but my boys and
girls were so backward began to
think that I had bought mole seed.
The neighbor told me he always
bought his young plants in sets
from a florist.
So I went to Mr.. Lockhart, the
florist, and bought myself mess
of growing things Just simple
things. but things which showed a
little greenery and willingness to
get ahead. I was happy for almost
four days.
Then / saw another garden. 1t
had the same plants I had in my
garden, but they were doubled, re-
doubled, fringed. and they made my
little cusses look bad. I talked to
the owner of the garden. He told
me I never would be happy with
the plain varieties, and that what
wanted was lot of variety plants.
He showed mel believe I'm right
night blinking violets, begonias
which ,chimed the hour, poinsettias
which grew natural hn-Frederic
hats, and a type of ivy which had
had three sons at Princeton, one
of which had rowed on the crew.
Goes in for Glass.
So I dug up my 10-cent seeds and
my plain, sturdy little numbers and
went in for class. You talk about
fortune being buried in the ground
listen, I have one, and I know
where it is buried.
1t has gotten me to reading
weather reports, believe it or not.
When I see that there Is a cold

that if the Senate is to rid itself OF
the Mississippi incubus it will have
to do it the hard way, meaning by
the two-thirds vote needed to oust
him once he is in. Whether or not
all Republicans vote against him
it appears certain, from private re-
marks, that not an Democrats will
vote for him. Many of the latter
are agreed that the case of Bilbo
long ago ceased to be party mat
ter. if it ever was.

thirds vote would be necessary to
expel him once he has been seated.
But. according to the theory. even
the Majority vote could not be OBJ
tanned because majority of the
Senators at that moment will be
Democrats.
In Alphabetical Order.
A third of the Senate is elected
every two years. Therefore, at the
opening of any new Congress only
two-thirds of the body can vote.
The newly elected or reelected
Senators are entitled to vote as fast
as they are sworn in. They are
called up in alphabetical order,
which means that Bilbo will be
among the first and at that time not
enough Republicans will have been
sworn in to give them the majority
they will have later in the day.
All this is true, say the Democrats,
but it does not justify the conclusion
that they will vote unanimously to
seat Mr.. Bilbo just because he is a
Democrat. AS a matter of fact they
don't expect the Republican leader
ship to sanction any challenge of Mr..
Bilbo's right to be seated at this
stage. Under the rules of the Sen
ate and by all past precedent, they
say. a certificate of election signed
by the Secretary of State OF Missls-
sippi and bearing the great seal OF
that State, will have to be accepted.
The latest precedent cited is that
of Senator Smoot of Utah. His
right to take his seat was challenged
on the ground of moral turpitude
and bitter battle followed But
the Senate, when it came to vote,
held that his certificate OF election
had to be accepted.
Case of Rush Holt.
The case of Rush Holt of West
Virginia, sometimes cited, presented
different question. Mr. Holt had
not reached the age of 80 when he
appeared with his credentials. The
Senate, holding that under the Con-
stitution he could not be Senator
until he was 80, voted against his
being sworn in. But he was given
an Office in which to sit and wait
while he grew UP. an operation
which the baby Senator completed
In a few months.
So there is every reason to believe

and consent of all the older MEM
bers, has fractured most of the
rules and regulations in both the
locals and internationaPs constitu-
ton in order to place veterans on
jobs. For doing that, such stories
as the following is being repeated,
getting a little worse with each
repetition:
The proponents of the fright" to
work bill have brought forth a
man, by the name of Peterson, who
claims he worked for Del E. Webb
at the beginning of the war when
Mr.. Webb was operating his con-
tracing firm non-union. Mr. Webb
has NEVER operated on that basis.
AS a matter of fact, Del Webb was
a member of organized labor be-
fore he became a conrtcator and
has always conducted his business
100 per cent union. He was the
first man in the state to sign an
agreement with the Carpenters.
The story goes that this man
Peterson went into the army,
