Lorimer Caucus Divided Over Lorimer Inquiry
Washington May 2. By a vote of more than two thirds the Senate Democrats endorsed the Lorimer resolution directing the Senate committee on privileges to investigate the Lorimer case. Several senators reserved right to amend and some pledged to follow the caucus line, while others disputed the caucus action. Senator Marting of New Jersey supported the majority, and Senator Bailey heatedly challenged others. Senator Jetavi left early, saying he would vote for the Lorimer resolution and would not be bound by caucus action. Senator Liz Poalletto, contrary to expectations, may not finish his hour long speech today. Senator Davis of Arkansas pressed his plan to call up his resolution for an investigation into the postmaster general’s alleged censorship, insisting on his right to privacy and delivering a lengthy address.
