and he is obliged to make application to her for one every time he takes a bath, WASHINGTON, Jan. 29. UP opponents and some supporters Some, Edward J. Flynn said today that they thought Flynn might ask President Roosevelt to withdraw his nomination to be Minister to Australia if there is any chance next week that it will be defeated in the Senate. Opponents predicting action would not permit use of their names.

Administration supporters admitted that such action was conceivable, But they said they did not believe it was being considered because they believed the nomination would be approved when it comes to a vote next week. Basis for the belief among opponents that Fdynn might withdraw his name, was Fiynn's statement to the Foreign Relations Committee last week. He said then that he would not have let his name be submitted for the post had he believed that it would subject the President, a close personal friend for 20 years, to criticiem. Flynn's opponents contend that defeat of his nomination would embarrass the Administration and believe that if it looks like the vote will be against Flynn, that the former Democratic National Committee chairman will spare the President such a defeat. Administration supporters have conceded that the vote will be close, but over the week-end they are expected to exert pressure on doubtful senators to keep the break in party lines from being greater than it was in committee when three Democrats voted against Flynn.

Democrats themselves claim that a vote against Flynn would be a vote against the President.

Flynn's lawyers went into the characters of the girls, introduced testimony to indicate that Miss Satterlee's rent had been paid by a 43-year-old admirer and produced witnesses to tell how Miss Hansen had accepted favors from a series of men. Then the lawyers sat Flynn in the witness stand. The wavy-baired Flynn had circles under his eyes which almost matched his dark suit. He said no-no-no-no-no and another no to a score of questions by his attorney, Jerry Geisler. KILLED AS TRAIN HITS HIS TRUCK ON CROSSING PITTSBURGH, Jan.
