New Faces in Congress
Senator c CottonIs Graduate
OF Eiqht Years in the House
By Harold B. Rogers

New Hampshire's new Republic
can Senator, Norris Cotton, is a
veteran of eight years in the
House and four years as an aide
in the Senate.
He already has taken the seat
Of the late Senator Charles
Tobey, after having defeated two
other G. o. P. candidates in the
fall primary and a Democrat in
the November election.
Tall, personable. with a ready
smile and a lively sense Of
humor, the new lawmaker has
wide experience not only in con-
gressional circles but in the pub
lie life of his home State.
Born on Farm.
Born on a mountain farm near
Warren, N. H., May II, 1900, he
recalls attending his first school
in a one-room building. Later.
listening to the oratory Of coun-
try lawyers in court where his
father served as deputy sheriff,
young Cotton acquired a taste
for public speaking and made a
study Of it.
He ' worked his way through
Phillips Exeter Academy and
Wesleyan University. and after
coming to Washington as clerk
to former Senator George H.
Moses he was graduated from
George Washington University
Law School. While with the
Senator, Mr.. Cotton served as
clerk of the former Senate Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post
Roads.
During such duty he met Miss
Ruth Isaacs of Tennessee, on
the staff of former Senator Nc
Kellar. the ranking Democrat on
that committee. They were mar
ried In 1927.
Elected Prosecuting Attorney.
Back in his home State for
the practice of law, he was
elected prosecuting attorney for
Grafton County in 1888, holding
the post for six years. He be-
came justice Of the Municipal
Court of Lebanon. his home city,
from 1899 to 1943. and clerk of
the New Hampshire State Sen
ate from 1927 to 1929. Elected
to the New Hampshire House

generated an interest in his own
home and among friends, the
budding legislator decided to try
something similar.
Some weeks it was a chore
to meet the deadline," he said,
"but I kept it up."
One of the now-famous stories
he sent back home. involved his
efforts to get rid of some old
dentures after a visit to the den
tiSt.
Wistfully, he wrote: "Old age
creeps on apace and once more
I am spending time in the den-
lists chair. The partial plates
I have been wearing no longer
suffice. Monday, I returned from
the dentist, respondent, and
threw them into the wastebasket.
Tuesday. I was called from
the floor of the House and found
two members of the Capitol po-
lice waiting for me. One of
them with great ceremony
handed me the old dentures.
Can it be-" he wondered,
"that I, too. am under the cloud
of suspicion that hangs over
Washington, so that even my
wastepaper basket is being
watched? How am ! going to
get rid of these dentures?"

Meanwhile, Representative Boil
ing, Democrat, of Maryland, said
yesterday he expects the Demo-
cratic controlled Congress to
move toward revising the admin
istration's 1854 tax revision pro-
gram SO as ''to spread the bene-
fits of tax relief to a much broad

said he thinks the Democrats
will wait to move on taxes until
1856, which is an election year. +"
The two House members
agreed that there is likely to be
little general disagreement on
foreign policy.
Foreign Policy Support Seen.
And Senator Sparkman, DEM
ocrat, of Alabama, said yester-
day he thinks Gen. Eisenhower
will get nearly solid Democratic
backing for his present foreign
policy course. The Senator said
that after a bad start, the Pres
ident and Secretary Of State
Dulles have "regained the In
and he added: IF they
continue that. they will find the
Democrats in Congress willing
to shoulder their fair share Of
the burden"
Senator Sparkman predicted,
however, the President will con-
front strong Democratic opposi-
ton over power. tax, farm and
some other issues.
The new Democratic national
chairman, Paul M, Butler, re-
peated on a CHS TV show Face

ton that Gen. Eisenhower has
demonstrated an incapacity to
lead the Nation. I'VE feel that
thus far the President has not
displayed the qualities of leader
ship that he displayed as a mill
tary figure" he said.
Cites Lack Of Unanimity.
Mr.. Butler said there has been
more evidence of "lack of una
nimity or olicy" by the admin
istration in the past 20 months
than at any other time in recent
United States history. and he
continued:
I'VE do not hate Ike. We have
great respect for the Office OF
the presidency and for the Presi-
dent himself. And we do not in
tend to abuse him at any time
But we do feel that it is our
function to point out the
deficiencies and the mistakes
and the incapacities Of this ad-
ministration."

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said today proposed
changes in rules for Senate in
vestigating committees "un-
doubtedly viii be taken" early
in the next session of Congress.
|. The Californian said in an in
terview there appears to be a
general feeling among Senators
that some rules changes are
necessary and desirable"
Various proposals to establish
"a code of fair procedures" for
investigating committees were
offered during the past session
of Congress, but no action was
taken on them.
In part. they grew out Of the
Met cCarthy- Army row and other
controversies around the Wis
consin Republicans handling of
the Senate Investigations Sub
committee.
Cooperation Held Needed.
Control over the Legislative
program in the new Congress
starting January 5 will pass into
the hands of the Democrats. and
Senator Knowland said it will
take "a high degree of co-opera-
ton" between the parties to ef-
feet any rules changes.
But he said that if this is
achieved and if the subject is
taken up early enough in the
session to allow plenty of time
for debate, he believed changes
could be adopted. He did not
commit himself to any specific
ones.

mittee which recommended CEN
