~a aw ten aa aN a“ ~ a THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1982 WET BLOC DEFEATED UPON TECHNICALITY Anti-Prohibitionists Deprived of Chance to Offer Re- ‘ turning Motion “Washington, Feb. 24—(#)—The hasards of parliamentary procedure have handed the house wet bloc an unexpected defeat in their effort to secure a roll call vote on a prohibi- tion issue. They brought to a test late Tuesday the question of spending federal Money for wire-tapping in prohibition enforcement, losing, by a teller vote of 132 to 102, a motion to amend the appropriation bill in question by clos- ing the $11,369,500 prohibition bureau funds to wire tapping uses. This was the expected result. Upon it they planned to offer a motion to send the bill back to com- mittee with instructions to insert the anti-wire-tapping item. Such mo- tion permits a roll call, and only one recommittal motion may be submit- ted on each such bill. Before Repre- sentative Schafer (R., Wis.), could be recognized to put the proposition, Speaker Garner gave the floor to Representative Cannon (D., Mo.), who moved recommittal on another Point. ‘The speaker explained, at Schafer's protest, that house procedure required him to recognize Cannon first as he is a member of the appropriations committee in charge of the bill. Later Garner told inquiring newspapermen he had not known Cannon was going to seek recommittal. His motion had been defeated 198 to 1, but Schafer objecting that a quorum was not pre- sent, the house was adjourned and a roll call will be held on the question ‘Thursday. Now the wet bloc must seek an- other prohibition issue to get the names of the members down in black and white on the question. The situation involved one gain to them. The teller vote recorded 25 more for the amendment that it ob- tained when presented a year ago on the 1932 appropriation bill. Commercial Body Has Bitter Fight On Removal Issue (Continued from page One) of the issue will add to the force of! capital removal opposition. Stutsman county and Jamestown’s working class, farmers and railway men are behind the move to shift the state- house from Bismarck to Jamestown. “For the Jamestown chamber to take a neutral stand would be to alienate these same farmers, laborers and railway men.” | The removal proponents opened the fireworks with a resolution by Zim- merman asking the chamber reaffirm its 1931 position and work actively for capital removal until March 15, date of election. : Kroeze Leads Defense B. H. Kroeze, president of James- town college, fired the opening salvo for the removal campaign opponents and continued to bear the brunt of! the attack for the “committee of 51” through verbal tilts with a score or more of removal followers. “Continue the removal efforts if you wish,” he said. “Let your James- town for Capital club go ahead with its plans, let it solicit funds. but keep! the chamber out of the fight. “The chamber in adopting its 1932 budget provided for no capital re- moval project. Directors of the/ chamber, in session Saturday, by a vote of five to three determined to, make the chamber neutral. “To vote here tonight to throw the chamber back into the fight would be te repudiate those directors, to de- mand their resignation. “Every man is entitled to his own) opinion. I am entitled to mine. Be- cause I signed a petition asking that the campaign be halted is no indica- tion that myself and 50 other James- town business men with Jamestown’s best interests at heart should be bull- dozed. “Charges have been flying about this very room tonight that the com- mittee has been bought, that political pressure has been brought to bear. “I know of no money entering the hands of this group of 51. No po- litical pressure has been brought to bear on me. And I do not believe any Pressure has been brought to bear against other signers.

With this objective Rev. W. W. Keller, one of the original committee of five to present the petitions calling for initiation of the measure at the March 15 primary, made « substitute motion that the chair name a com- mittee to solicit funds for the removal campaign. But as speakers from the two fac- tions quibbled over meaning of the resolution he withdrew it. ent arose as to whether the Capital removal backers claimed the resolution was still in effect de- spite the fact that the 1932 organiza- tion meeting failed to reaffirm the proposal. Opposed were foes of re- moval. After a sharp argument the chair ses would not be conclusive.
