PASS RESOLUTION 54-221 New England Delegation Backs Former Yale Professor and War' Aviator. By Francis 1. Stevenson, A. P. Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. - Con- demnation was voted on Senator Bingham of Connecticut by the Senate today, 54 to 22, for his re- lations with the Connecticut Man- ufacturers' Association while for- mulating the tariff legislation. Obviously wounded but still de- flant, the Republican Senator, a former Yale professor and World War aviator, replied as he left the chamber, that he would certainly 1 not resign. Through four hours of debate, he has stubbornly contended his right to use the officer of the Con- necticut Association to help him in his work of framing the tariff bill and to take that officer into the secret tariff rate-making session of the finance committee Republi- cans.I Absolved of Corrupt Motives. Twice the Senate had voted down attempts to modify the resolution of condemnation, but then Sena- tor Norris, Republican, Nebraska, its author, yielded to pleas from 1 both sides of the Chamber that' Bingham be absolved of corrupt motives. That specification wentj into the -resolution. As the Senate was finally about to vote,:the gray-haired Nebraskan turned to the tall Connecticut Sen- ator, slumped'in his seat behind him, to assert the "pity is that the Senator has not yet grasped that the action he did was injurious to the Senate." The text of the resolution as ad- opted read: "That the action of the Senator from Connecticut, Mr. Bingham, in placing Mr. Charles L. Eyanson upon the official pay roll of the Senate and his use by' Senator Bingham at the time and in the manner set forth in the re- port of the sub-committee on the judiciary while not a result of cor- rupt motives on the part of the Senator from. Connecticut is con- trary to good morals and senatori- al ethics and tends to bring the Senate into dishonor and direpute, and such conduct is hereby con- demned.,," Camber and Galleries Crowded. It was the first time in 27 years tl t the Senate voted to censure a member and an atmosphere of solemnity prevailed the Chamber and galleries were crowded when the resolution was brought up by Norris at the outset of the' ses- sion. Members of the House crowd- ed obout the rear of the Chamber. Bingham, himself, opened the discussion after the resolution was read, presenting a lengthy prepar- ed defense of his use of Charles L. Elyanson, the $10,000 assistant to the president of the Connecticut Association, as an aide during his work with the finance committee majority in drafting the bill. His friends pleaded for a softening of the wording of the resolution. Senator Gillett, Republican, Mas- sachusetts, cautionad that the Sen- ate did not have time to censure all indiscretions of its members but one defended Bingham's action. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Mon- tana, called upon the "old guard" to express itself and finally Sena- tor Gould, Republcan, Maine, who had taken a seat beside Bingham, arose to answer. "The Senator from Connecticut has made a four square statement here of just what he done and why he done it" said the Maine Sena- tor, and the prevalent tension was relieved -momentarily by laughter. } !' a I, MAIL INVITATIONS{ ( FOR "CITY HAUL"H0 Ul L Invitations for "City Haul" which will be given Friday and Saturday0 nights at the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre have been sent to all pat- rons of Play Production, according 1IN CL1RI T C to Valentine B.
