Guffey Attacked in Senate Prompting Demand for Removal
In Washington the Senate faced a heated clash after Senator O Mahoney of Wyoming called for removing Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania as chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Committee. The dispute stemmed from a radio address in which Guffey attacked three Democratic colleagues. The session also heard reports that President Roosevelt would veto the sugar bill after adjournment, fueling talk of a filibuster to delay adjournment. The House meanwhile passed a national unemployment census bill aimed at self registration of the unemployed, using post offices and federal agencies, with the president authorized to set survey methods and to tap relief funds, while seeking state and local help.
