PROVIDENCE, R. l., Mar. 3l.-
A baby today broke the 1922
Democratic Republican tie in the
Rhode Island State Senate and
nobody knows what the historical
consequences will be.
With the Rhode Island legisla-
ture straining hard toward an
April II adjournment and with
many important measures pend
ing, Senator Florence K. Murray,
Democrat, of Newport told her col
leagues late yesterday:
I'm going to the Lying-In (hos-
pitaD."
And this morning. the quiet,
Istudious lady senator had a fine
baby boy-her first child. And the
Democrats for the time being had
lost control of the Senate.
For with the Senate deadlocked,
the presiding officer, 1t. Gov. John
S. McKiernan. a Democrat. has
been able to cast the deciding
vote. Baby Murray today took
away 1t. Gov. McKiernan's vote.
In the meantime, researchers
on such matters were furiously
thumbing dog-eared record books
and saying, Nothing like this
has ever happened before in
American legislative history"
William j. Thompson, chairman
of the Republican State Central
Committee, said: mo Republican
gentleman would take advantage
of this situation"

Miss Thompson, who held sew
eral positions at the court, was
registrar when she decided tc
study law. It took her six years
to complete her course. but she
passed her bar examinations on
the first try, and became the first
woman lawyer in her county.
That was the beginning of a
series of "f1rsts' with which Miss
Thompson is credited.
Her service with the probate
court was climaxed when she was
elected judge-a position she held
for three terms totaling II years.
(She was the first woman In Mus
kegon to be so honored).
Then she decided to run for the
State Legislature and was the first
woman elected to that body from
her county.
She became her States first
woman Representative in Con-
gress in January after she had
defeated two male contenders for
the Republican nomination and
the Democratic nominee in the
November election.

Construction on the Alaska Az ricultural Experiment Stations new greenhouse is nearing com pletion according to an announce ment made this week by agricur- tural engineer C. Ivan Branton.
 The $114,000 structure is being built by local contractors Sand vik and Roark, and should be fully completed within a month. The line between the greenhouse and the administration building across the road has been finished and the new boiler has been in stalled
 The building was paid for out of federal funds appropriated for research on agricultural prob lems of Alaska.
 The greenhouse will consist of two bench houses and two ground bed houses, each of these sections measuring 28x50 feet. Filling in of the ground beds does not come under the contract.
 Ironically, the greenhouse is being completed just at the time when the station must consider some curtailment of it's research program in line with a projected $4O,O0O cut in the 1951-52 budget request. How to keep the green house going with no increase Tn personnel is headache facing the research staff.

YOUTH TAKES THE PULPIT SUNDAY AS U. P. CHURCH SEEKS NEW PASTOR

Rev. Victor Alfsen's departure Tuesday morning left a vacancy in the United Protestant Church pulpit.
 The Presbyterian Board of Mis- sions is assisting the local church board in locating a new pastor to take Alfsen's place, but none has been found yet.
 Meanwhile, church services for the month of August have been arranged. The pastor customarily vacationed during this month, so the need will not become too acute for another month. Morn ing services next Sunday will be conducted by the young peoples groups of the church.
 Duane Huntley will conduct services at the Wasilla Communi- ty Church until the new pastor takes over his duties.
