C. Sutton, retiring assistant attorney general as special counsel after the question had been debated for more than an hour. While workmen hung flags and toy balloons in the high ceiling of the chamber in which Dan Moody's inaugural ball will be held Tuesday night, senators hurled charges and counter charges. Repeated efforts to adjourn were unsuccessful until the resolution to employ Sutton, made by Fairchild of Lufkin and Love of Dallas finally was adopted by a 17-18 vote. Sutton will be offered $20 day to advise with members of the senate on the constitutionality of proposed bills drafting them.

Fairchild led the fight to employ Sutton and Holbrook of Galveston headed the proposition. W. H. Bledsoe of Lubbock first condemned the resolution. "The time come when the office created will be dominated by special interests and the time come when special interests will name this officer," he asserted.

"I want to say that if this senate is not capable of drawing its bills it can go to the attorney general for advice." Holbrook of Galveston then intervened against the resolution and was met with a verbal volley from Fairchild. "I'm not surprised that the senator from Galveston opposes this resolution, but I want you to watch how quickly we'll get into action if you strike at the insurance companies. This senate has voted measures the meaning of which three-fourths of its membership did not understand. We need the help of an able man." Julian P. Greer of Athens shouted "Pour it on 'em Questioned as to whether he thought one man could "keep the entire senate from making errors" Fairchild countered: "He who walked the sea of Galilee is the only one who could keep this bunch straight." The senate was in confusion during the controversy and order was only partially- restored when the day's session ended.

Sutton retired as assistant attorney general, when Moody was succeeded by Attorney General Claude Pollard. Dr. J. C. Anderson May Be The State Health Officer (By Associated Press) AUSTIN, Jan.
