Fisticuffs Rise Over Officelay Clash in Congress
Washington May 30 Representative Clarence Cannon of Missouri said a remark from Representative Taber provoked a scuffle in Cannon’s office. Taber said Cannon hit him in the mouth during the confrontation, which ended with Taber leaving the room bloodied. Both men gave different accounts of who initiated, and the dispute centered on expense allowances and related pay raises.
