Solons Study Ground for Milton Seat Protest
Congressional sources say a formal complaint against seating John Milton, the new Democratic senator from New Jersey, is being drawn by Labor's Non-Partisan League. It may be presented to Vice President Garner as the Senate debates anti-lynching measures, with final action expected after week-end scrutiny of the document. Milton, allied with Mayor Hague, faces possible probes of his ties to Hague's organization, though protests seem likely to fail.
