The Washington| Merry - Go- Round By DREW PEARSON Lt. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.) WASHINGTON — Tall, stately Senator Jim Murray of Montana is 69 years old, but guring a closed- door session of his Small Business Ccommittee he nearly got into a fist-fight with 54-year-old Senator Allen Ellender of Louisiana. For- tunately for both, Senator Tom Stewart of Tennessee jumped up nd spoiled the bout. Senatorial dignity was saved. 1t all happened when the Senate Small Business Committee held its first closed session this year. Hitherto, the Committee’s work has | been done in' open sub-committees which have stepped on. the toes of several big business groups and pattled hard for little business. Some Senators haven't liked this. Also, they haven't liked the fact that Chairman Jim Murray dele- gated the Committee’s work to its Counsel, Dewey Anderson. Most Committee members, busy with other committee assignments, have been content to let Anderson have | free rein—with the exception of Tommy Hart. Hart, the new Re- publican Senator -from Connecticut, had never attended a full Commit- tee meeting. Finally, after pressure from El- jender and Hart, Senator Murray called one.
