Call of the Senate
Registration of Lobbyists
Approved By Senate 32-22

Senator Paul Ringing (D-Meagher)
prevented the upper house from be-
coming circus maximus nauseum by
his actions Wednesday afternoon
which sent SB 26 to the House of
Representatives. Sen. Ringing moved
the previous question, then a call of
the Senate-the first in several ses-
sions-and the third reading was roll
called on the lobbyist registration bill.
"a call of the Senate means all
the strays are rounded up, and the
sergeant-at-arms theoretically locks
the doors, until action is taken on
the issue in question:
Ringling's performance came after
the defeat of Garfield Senator Ma
honey's move to refer the bill from
third reading to the Judiciary Com
mittee (gas chamber). The Senate
refused Mahoney 20 aye, 80 no.
Senator Wilson (D-Toole) began
to ramble that he was not afraid of
lobbyists and besides the bill did not
conform to the separatist views of
pure government; that a joint COM
mittee of legislature instead of an
administrative office should handle
the registration.
Senator Hibbs (R-Yellowstone) still
could not see his desire to have the
scope of the bill restricted to the
Helena area.
Ringing stopped all of this because
the merits of the bill had been thor
oughly discussed on its tortuous route
in and out of committees.

reason we need it,.

and fought hardest by Republicans,

Tom Haines (R-Missoula) supported
the bill. He said in the last primary

128 was killed before the noon re-
cess Monday. After noon Maurice
Powers (D-Silver Bow asked for
reconsideration because he thought
he was confused on the motion he was
voting on earlier. His motion won.
There followed a series of unrecorded
votes on the machine because the
voice vote was not definite, on a
series of moves designed to kill the
bill. In the process there were some
parliamentary snags and George
O'Connor (L-Montana Power) was
hailed down from the balcony. He
had to stand in an anteroom (rules)
until Cerovski moved for a recess
which lasted five minutes.
Through some miscue the bill was
not included as "dead" in the COM
mittee of the whole report, so an
other hassle, and retake on COM
mittee of the whole action. HB 1913
is dead as of House records Monday
night, but nobody is making any rash

5 in Family Get
TonsiIs Removed
At Same Time

Tonsillectomy on the family
plan had five brothers and sis
tiers under the knife almost
simultaneously at Children's
Hospital yesterday.
The patients were the chill
dren of Mrs. Doris Holt, a
widow, of Alto Eighth street
NV. Their names are Tyrone
and Twana, 6-year-old twins;
Kenneth and Keith, 5-year-old
twins, and Timothy, 4.
Except for the brief period
when they were anaethetized,
the five little Hollis made a
lively time of it for the hos
pital staff trying to keep their
exuberant spirits in check in
the small ward they had to
themselves.
Their operations over, the
Holt children go home today to
rejoin two other brothers and
a sister-whose tonsils, at this
point at least, are in good
shape, the hospital is happy to
note.

Intruder in Home
Of Mrs. Wilson
Gets Aides $170

A houSebreaker entered the
home of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson,
widow of the World War I
President, yesterday while she
was in her third-floor room and
stole $40 and some costume
jewelry belonging to her per-
sonal secretary, police reported
today.
They said the thief, who ap-
parently knew the habits of the
Wilson household, entered the
home at 2340 S street NV.
sometime between 3 to 4::30
pm. and made his way to the
fourth floor unnoticed.
He took the money and
trinketS off a dresser in the sec
retary's bedroom. Mrs. Wilson'S
secretary, Mrs. Margaret Brown,
happened to be out of the house
at the time.
The housebreaker apparently
entered through an unlocked
kitchen door at the rear of the
house. Yesterday was the cook S
day off.
He slipped past a butler who
was downstairs and an upstairs
maid who was on duty at the
time, police said. They told
police they heard nothing. He
probably left the same way he
entered the house, they said.
Mrs. Wilson had retired to
her third-floor room when the
housebreaking was going on,
they said.

Negro Voter
Plea Slated

NORFOLK. Va, Aug. 8 (AP)
Attorneys for Leonard w.
Holt, a Negro voter, say they
will file in Federal District
Court Monday a petition to
halt a suit contesting the July
Democratic primary.
Mr.. Hollis attorneys tried un-
successfully this week to file
the petition in Corporation
Court. William L. Prieur, jr.,
the court clerk, refused to &C
cept the petition on the ground
the court has no jurisdiction
in chancery cases.
Circuit Court Judge Clyde H.
Jacob upheld Mr.. Prieur when
Mr. Hollis attorneys asked him
to compel Mr.. Prieur to accept
the petition.
The suit contesting the pri-
mary will be heard by a three
judge court August 26. The suit
was brought by Hal j. Bonney
and w. 1. McKendree, who were
unsuccessful candidates in the
primary.
Mr.. Bonney and Mr.. McKen-
dree, who were supported in
the primary by the proseg-
regationist defenders of State
sovereignty, are challenging
4,400 votes cast in eight Negro
precincts. The same precincts
voted heavily against Senator
Byrd. Democrat of Virginia, in
last years general election.
Mr.. Holt contends the suit
is being used to punish anc
penalize the individual citizens
who are members of the Negro
race"
