-The peace of the senate special com

when Senator Couzens, Republican

mocrats in a successful effort to em-
ploy Francis J. Heney of Caliornia

The resolution went through 3 to
2, despite the reiterated prediction of
Senator Watson, Republican, Indiana,
chairman and Senator Ernst, Republi-
can, Kentucky, that the appointment.
of Heney, famoug for many years as
a public prosecutor,' meant another

In addition to the music, which is

voted with Senator Couzens. It de-'
veloped in the committee discussion'
that the first suggestion for a commit-i

observed,. Senator ,Couzens said "Me,
floundering around here" and gettingr
nowhere with the inquiry.
When. It was brought out that Sen-
ator Couzens, one of the richest men
in the senate proposed to pay Heney's
expenses in, connection .with inves-
tigaion. Senator Ernst sharply ques-
tioned the legality of that action. Sen- I
ator Jones, defended Senator Couzens j

landed' on' the committe table like a I
bombshell so far as Senator Watson
was concerned, he bluntly declared
that he knew Heney "well enough"j
to know that the hearing would be
turned into a "muckraking" if Heney
was "given a chance." Senator Wat-
son asked Senator Couzens why he!
had consulted with the committeeI
members on his plan and not with his I
"republican colleagues.',
Charges "Blocking"
SenatorCouzens replied that he "re-'
cognized no republican or other col-
league when he was going after gov-
ernment business.
"They all look alile to me," he said.,
Senator Couzens admitted that hel
had "resented" from the first the ap-
pointment of four members of the
busy finance committee to compose
the investigating committee with him-
self. He left the inference that he
considered this an attempt to hamper.
the investigation and charged speci-
cifically that Senator Ernst had tried1
to "block" his efforts on the commit-
tee. The Michigan Senator concededk
however, that chairman Watson had
not sought to curb the hearing thus
far.'
