POR SALE - 6-room modern
house, double sfage, with 100-ft.
lot. Cecil Rook?fl2 N. Madden.
64-5tp
By HERBERT PLUMMER
WASHINGTON-The last hasn’t
been heard of the publication of the
names of those members of the
house who signed the petition to
force a vote on the McLeod bill—
the bill which would take care of de-
positors who lost money in closed
national banks.
In the opinion of some house lead-
ers it may prove to be the entering
wedge in the effort to wipe out en-
tirely or amend drastically the so-
called discharge rule.
This rule has been a bone of con-
tention m the house ever since the
democrats took over control In De
oember, 1931. Probably no rule of
the house has been so severely con-
demned and so vigorously supported
as this one.
The rule simply provides that If
145 members of the house sign a
petition any committee may be dis-
charged from further consideration
of a certain piece of legislation and
vote forced in the house.
A Forced Bonus Vote
The most striking example of the
rule in operation is the way the
house has been forced to vote on im-
mediate payment of the soldiers’ bo-
nus.
Opponents of the rule contend that
sooner or later the house will get
itself Into a lot of trouble with this
rule.
"There's no telling what we might
be forced to vote on if this aslnle
rule is continued,” says McDuffie of
Alabama. “There are now about 25
petitions on the clerk's desk."
Patman of Tex«« lv-vn advocate,
who has seen the rule work to his
advantage mote than once, counters
with this argument:
One member of the senate can
force consideration of any proposal.
Why shouldn't 145 members of the
house have the same right as one
senator?
One group contends that under
the rule the house legislates by peti-
tions of Dlocs or minorities. The
other argues that only by the dis-
charge rule can the true will of the
house be determined.
Between Two Fires
When newspapers publish the
names on discharge petitions before
the required 145 have been obtained
—as they did on the McLeod peti-
tion—the reaction causes discomfi-
ture and concern among both groups.
Those who have signed are sub-
jected to pressure to withdraw their
signatures. Those who have not are
bombarded with demands that they
do sign.
Members of the press galleries re-
member a striking example of that.
On a recently published discharge
petition a mid-western congress-
man's name was included in error.
He appeared in the galleres almost
in tears, claiming that it meant his
political ruin. Yet he was afraid to
get the matter corrected, explaining
that it was just as bad one way as
the other.
It’s the fear, as one member ex-
presses it, that this “rule will finall-
ly club off our heads” that may
prompt a renewed effort to delete it

oped by the plot of Kay Francis'

pear on the scene as the sugar dad-
dy of Miss Francis, In the role of

•*ar, ter r. wealth* joui.0 aristo-
crat, as played by Gene Raymond
who marries the show girl and
builds a beautiful home for her on

front during the war while Miss

victed her of the death of Halllday,
though she Is Innocent.

partner after she has been released

dent suitor she manages to main-
tain the partnership on a strictly
