Senator Jensen made a point of order ageinst this procedure which X‘u» sustained by President oward, The appeal from the resident’s ruling was being de- hated at mid-afternoon, GIVES HISTORY OF MEASURE After reciting the fact of the point of order, made by Senator Pratt, the authority of Semate rules on which its procedure iz founded and conducted, the President cited Senate Rule No. “In all cases ot o 0. Ly these yils the Senate shall be governed by the laws and practices as laid down in Roberts’s Rules of Order, and House Manual and Digest,” and added: It becomes the duty, therefore, of the Presi- dent of the Senate to determine whether or not the point of order is good.” He found no conflict anywhere on “any mat- ter pertaining to the decision of the point of order.” Continuing, President Howard \n weda tne histoy of Senate {No. 1, showing that there had boen two public hearings held on the measure, one of which was pursuant @ joint resolution of the Senate and House and which was attended by both the Senate and the House, and this was followed by hearings in the Senate, and the bill was con- ider=d at length in the Senate. He showed that Senate Bill No, 1 and Hous» Bill 30 covered |the same subjects as shown in the title. He said “Senate Bill No. 1 is a bill for an |act, “To reorganize the Executive Department of Alaska, creating the lofficars of Controller, Treasurer, At- |torney-General and Board of Control, land defining their functions.’ House No. 30 is a bill for an act, ‘To » the Executive Department creating the offices of Treasurer and Board of and defining their functions. will be oi.ced that the two bills identical, except in House BIil 30 the words, ‘Attorney-General' are left out.” —— | The President said the laws of Al jaska each bill to state its subject in its title and to permit a bill to deal with only one subject.

But his wife would not be able to join him until after the marriage of her daughter | in April. It was necessary for Claudel to take over this post earlier. The lady of the legation would have to be Reine Claudel, his gixteen-year-old daughter, who was with her father, then Ambas- sador to Japan, Officials studied—and the up- pointment went through. Today she's the youngest "flrst lady of the legation” in Washing- ton, On her, almost as much as on her father, will rest thc duty of representing France, An unintens tional snub to someone who holds power, an innocent afternoon spent with someone who “isn't” and Claudel might be sent scurrying home, But France has confidence in its blond beauty. She will reign until April, when she will return to France with her father to sce her older sister mar- ried. After that Mme. Claudel will join her busband in Washington. 'HEN a man is mentioned for 2 high diplomatic post one of the first questions his government asks is: “What of his lady?” For diplomacy goes on In ball- rooms and at afternoon teas as ‘well as in the offices of ministers and secretaries. And the “lady of the embassy” must play her part —sometimes harder than the Am- bassador. Only recently an under-secretary of the Egyptian legation in Wash- ington was recalled. His wife hatl figured in an automobile accident. But that was a minor incident. Graver things may happen. The wrong person invited to sup- per, the wrong address made to a dignitary—and a treaty may fail or a nation be ruined. And when it was proposed to send the poet, Paul Claudel, to America as Ambassador, French officials calculated.
