The item was ripped out by the House Appropriation Committee but was put back by the Senate Appropriations Committee under the threatening scowls of farm organization. When the issue was taken up by the senate, acting committee chairman Alva Adams, one of the most vocal economy clamorers in congress, tried to sneak it through without a vote. But little Colo radan's scheme was blocked by Kenneth McKellar, scrappy Ten nesee New Dealer, who insisted on a roll call and got his way. Then the fun began. On the Republican side all eyes focused on Bob Taft, v.ho the day before had tossed his hat into the presidential ring, and Arthur Vandenberg, Michigan aspirant, both strong lor economy.

Taft had said nothing about the fund but Vandenberg had talked briefly in a hostile vein. Taft's name came first and without hesitation he voted No. When Vandenberg's name was called, he paused for a moment and then quietly said "Aye." Meanwhile, on the Democratic side hilarious little drama was taking place between Josiah Bailey of North Carolina and Harry Byrd of Virginia, two more economy shouters. When Bailey's name was called he remained silent behind a newspaper, which he had hurriedly started reading a few moments earlier. Byrd had vanished from the chamber when his name was reached.

But a second later he dashed in from a cloakroom, went into a hudcile with Bailey and then bolted back to the cloakroom to i reappear a few minutes for another whispered conference. What was said remains a mvs tery, but after Byrd dashed back into the cloakroom for the third time, Bailey rose and belatedly voted against the appropriation. Byrd remained hidden in his hideout until after the result was announced. Forbid Referees To Aid Fighters LANSING, Aug. 8 Because a new Michigan ring rule forbids a nom moving an inert lighter.
