FIGHT ON LIBERALS INFLAMES TEMPER Buckler, Goaded by Fuller, Screams Denial He Is a Radical. By the Associated Press. Acrimonious accusations, mingled with laughter, were the order of the dey in the House yesterday as the newly-organized liberal group was al- most literally carried to the floor for rimand. Representative Puller, Democrat, of Arkansas, took up the cudgels to ad- minister the chastising, thereby pre- cipitating a row which lasted well into the evening. Representative Kvale, Farmer-La- borite, of Minnesota, was accused by the Arkansan of attempting to break into the Democratic party for mem- bers of the new bloc. Strong Retorts. Speaking of the Representatives who attended a recent meeting of the bloc, Fuller sald “They could not possibly have been elected last time and could not be elected again except by run- ning on the coat-tails of Franklin D. Roosevelt.” Fuller continued his at- tack on those attending the meeting, but not without hearing pointed re- torts. “Co rdly attack” “brave talk” 152 FOR YOUR OLD STOVE Another new Magic Chef—unusually commodious and roomy—at a price far below what over-size ranges usually cost.

We are merely making an effort to get Congress off dead center and get some of the legisla- tion the President promised.” “I used to be a Democrat,” said Representative Buckler, Farmer-La- borite, of Minnesota, explaining the presence of his name on the liberal Buy the Finest Auto Radio Ever Built on Bailey’s Budget Basis ,going to follow in FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1933. what was expected to be a public rep- ' were the remarks of Representative | Maverick, Democrat, of Texas, & new- list, “but I left the Democrats be- cause they were in cahoots with the big bankers and racketeers in Wall Street and against the laboring man.” “Now, my good Demaocratic friends,” Fuller advised the liberals, “you can see whom you are associated with.

Voicing deep ‘“resentment” at the Fuller radical tag when he got time to speak later on, Buckler maintained no gen- tlemen would call him that, Working up to such a rage he could scarcely speak, the Minnesota farmer roared: “I'm not a radical because I own 1,280 acres of land and farm it with my own hands.” SUES FOR DIVORCE Special Dispatch to The Star.
