ANGRY SCENES IN

SENATE

Washington, Jan. 15. Angry scenes were witnessed in the Senate yesterday, the eighth day of the filibuster against the Anti-Lynching Bill, Southern Ben- ators openly attacking members of the Government belonging to their

own party.

Senator Balley (North Carolina) suggested that Mr. Harold Ickes, the Secretary of Interior, was a "rabble rouser who should go to Moscow."

He condemned Mr. Ickes' recent speech based on the book 'Ameri- ca's Sixty Families," in which Mr. Ickes issued a warning to "concen- trated wealth."

He said he recognised that Mr. Anthony Eden had done the best with a most difficult situation, and begged to be permitted to present his ancestral sword; an heirloom of four centuries, to Mr. Eden.

Sir Robert Craigle was deeply touched with the remarks and the gift, which he readily accepted.

Later, when interviewed by Reu- ter, the Ambassador displayed, an ancient brocade case containing a magnidcent eighteen-inch short sword with a white decorated handle.
