TAYLOR had left the Senate floor
at the time and the only members
remaining in the chamber when
Wherry spoke were Senators Buck
(R-DeD, Senator Williams (R-
Deb presiding, and Senator Nc
Grath ORD.
Previously Senator Ferguson
(R-Mich) had said that the Justice
department should investigate the
t'diabolical plot charged by the
President.
Knows No. Lobby
Ferguson, in reply to a question
by Senator Revercomb (R-WVa),
said he knew of no real estate
lobby. Revercomb said he didn't,
either. .
"It has never approached me,
the West Virginia Seantor said.
Senator Buck challenged - and
Democrats defended - the Presi-
dents right to submit a message
to Congress in connection with the
approval of legislation, as he did
in reluctantly signing the rem con-
troll extension bill.
Buck said the constitution calls
on the President to cite his OBJ
jections to any ill he ~vetoes, but
gives him no right to send q COM
munication on legislation he ap-
proves.
"The practice INDUCED in by the
President in this instance is one
which in effect .undermines the

signature" Buck declared. II

generously pulled the victims o.

Manuel enjoys looking over the
postcards, clippings, and whale
teeth along with other souvenirs
that he has saved throughout the
years.
When asked if he would like to
encounter the trip again, Manuel
said, II would not mind if I were
as young and husky as I used to
te."
Though he is never pessimistic
about anything, when Manuel was
asked if he enjoyed whaling, he
replied, SIT is worse than going
on a battlefield, because the
whale is out to kill"
Manuel who formerly lived at
20E N. Eleventh street now resides
at $40 Queen street and has three
children at home. He married
Miss Eve Testers in 1912 after the
death of his first wife.

and the Briarcliff, apparently got
off to a running start reaching for
the ceiling that isr't there.
Mrs. Columbus Smith, a Briar-
cliff resident, said she received a
notice that her $158.50 monthly
rate was being changed to $11.50
a day. She pocketed the notice
and then did a double take. Her
rev daily rate adds up to about
$345 a month-more than 100 per
cent over the old rate.
81 was perfectly willing to pay
the IS per cent increase suggested
in the new rent control law, but
I think doubling the rent is just
too much" she mourned.
Mrs. Joseph Lazear, who has a
four-room apartment at the Briar-
cliff, reported her rate ~"adjusted'
from $130 a month to $11.50 a
day-putting her on the same foot
ing as Mrs. Smith, except Mrs.
Smith gets a buffers pantry
thrown in for her $345.
Another Briarcliff tenant, Y.
Radan, said he was hiked from
1920 a month to about $525 under
the new daily charge.
At the Clermont, E. R. Collins
said the rent On his single room
was raised from $3.50 a month
to $3.50 a day or $225 a month.
Mrs. Pauline Rogers, who has q
bedroom, bath end kitchenette al
the Clermont, was lacked up from
$3.50 to $24O a month, she said.
Officials of the Westview corp.

JANUARY DEATHS ON
MONTANA HIGHWAYS
LOWEST SINCE 1913

January's traffic fatalities in
Montana were the lowest since 1913
Two persons were killed in traffic
accidents and one person died at a
private railroad crossing on a pri-
vate road.
This decrease may be attributed
to severe weather conditions which
kept people indoors and a growing
consciousness of the severity of the
traffic situation" Charles l.. Sheri-
dan, Montana highway patrol sup
ervisor, said. Sheridan further re-
vealed that January of 1871 had
claimed 10 lives, and the first post
January, 1916, took 9 lives.
Montana can be the safest state
in the Union," Sheridan said, "be-
cause there is plenty of room for
everyone. In order to reach the
top spot in the nation, however,
every motorist and pedestrian must
walk and drive as though he wanted
to live"
