Capitol pranks and fashion mix in House notes
Bruce Catton notes a playful incident in the House where a bachelor member read a flattering note intended for a gallery visitor. The scene shifts to debates on attire as Senators Lewis and Neely are described, then to gym style diversions and paddle ball in the chamber. Congressman Burns gives a maiden speech under a quiet tribute to Mc Reynolds. Public reaction on neutrality letters dominates talk, with Schwellenbach reporting mixed responses from across the country.

Refunding Bill Passed by House in 88 to 12 Vote
The Arkansas House approved Governor Bailey’s amended 140,537,000 highway bond refunding bill with an emergency clause and sent it to the Senate. The vote was 88 to 12 after over two hours of debate. Rep. Leo Nyberg of Helena, ill in Wildcat Mountain sanatorium, was paired with Rep. Rowland Lind say of White County. The session included strong partisan charges about gubernatorial candidates and speculation on cost, with opponents arguing the plan overstates refunds and hides fees. The debate touched on alleged fraud and political maneuvering surrounding the measure.
