Rules subcommittee which rec
commended the unseating Of Sen
ator Chavez, Democrat. Of New
Mexico.
Senator HenningS. the lone
Democrat on the three-man

clared there is no legal or moral
basis" for the recommendation
that mo member of the Senate
was elected from the State of
New Mexico in the 1852 general
election"

Calling attention to the Gin
ccngruous effect Of the majority
recommendations" Senator Hen
ningS said that if the Senate
adopted the report. it would. In
principle, nullify the election of

publican Leader Knowland said

If Senator Chavez were I'M
seated. the political lineup of
the Senate would be Al Demo-

Back in 1900 two young couples,
the Morgans and the Murrianes,
given names long forgotten, lived to-
gether in a two-room log cabin in the
woods back of Geneva, Ashtabula
County, which they had built in part
nership.
Together too, the young men had
managed to accumulate a SOW and
pigs and in partnership they built a
pig pen near the cabin, whare a
watchful eye Icould be kept on the
precious brood in protection against
bears and wolves.
Pigs were priceless possessions in
the backwoods and were difficult to
obtain and hard to transport. Most
of them had to be driven through
the woods and forded across streams.

have a fallacy that hogs cannot swim
because they would cut their own
throats with the sharp edges of their
hooves-the old razorbacks of the
frontier didn't do it and usually could
whip any bear for wolf in the woods
when tackled.
One dark night when the men were
away their wiFes were awakened by
terrible comnfDtion in the vicinity of
the pig pen. The squeals were loud
and shrill and the grunts were gruff
and the scramble sounded as if an
army were attacking the pen. Peek
ing through al crack in the cabin door
the woman saw big black bear try
ing to tear its way into the pen to get
at the pigs.
Mingling their 4own screams with
the squeals of the pigs the women
threw burning brands from the fire.

Paying no attention to the noise or
