There was only one real debate yesterday, and that came in the House during the first try-out of the political party and factional strength. The Democrats, who favored the selection of committees and their chairmen by a committee instead of by Speaker Talbot, led the fight and got little or no support from the administration upon which it depended for help.

The Republr can organization blocked the move of Representative Sarig, Berks, to appoint a committee of three or conization men, two administra tion members 'and two Democrats to take over committee naming. It also blocked a Sang move to pro vide for discharge of committees from further consideration of bills by a vote of sixty instead of 105 the constitutional majority of the House, lhis latter move went down to a vote of 140 to 63 while the committee on committees mo tion fell by a vica voce vote.

COLLEGE VOTES FOR HOOVER From Paje One and duty of electing the Emperor oi that ancient middle European domr.in," he said, addinsr that the college was supposedly suggested "by the College of Cardinals." A bill abolishing the college will probably soon become a Federal law, he eaid, concluding with a parting shot that placed the college in history's hall alongside of the "dinosaurus, the hanging gardens of Babylon, the night of the big wind, the Dayton monkey trial and the great depression." State Chairman Martin, address ing the group a little later, said ne had heard the Beamish re marks. He stated that he believed in the traditional importance of the college and he also believed conventions for the college which, bring men and women of the party together for an change of ideas. ex- Mayor Moore, of Philadelphia. headed a committee that was named by F. M.

Kirby, Luzerne County, chairman, to notify Gov ernor Pinchot that the college was organized.

McMillen. Robert L. Myers showed from statistical data that, assuming that the population of Camp Hill will remain at a constant level, little change is to be expected in the school enrollment of the first six grades, that each grade will have approximately seventy pupils. He further showed that with the pupils now in school, by September, 1935, there will be approximately sixty pupils in each of the grades from 7 to 12. These pupils will require full time use of all rooms and the gymnasium in the present high school building.
