M r. Diggles took the handker

alpaca coat and wiped his forehead.
The moment he used to dream of
years ago, was here at last. This
would cost D r. Price his practice.
The pity was. Dr. Price would
never know he could have saved
himself, if he hadn't made it so
clear that a man who mixed pre
scriptions wasn’t supposed to know
about diagnosis. Dr. Price would
never know what he'd done to him

He wet his lips. Well, no one
could expect Mr. Diggles to in

scriptions again. Not a second
time.
Though it was so many years ago,
he could feel the flush of anger
that flooded his face remembering
the day he’d called Dr. Price up,
and suggested that maybe the heart

He looked again at the prescrip

symbol and he’d fill it as it stood.
He reached for the bottle and re
moved the cork. Carefully, he meas
ured out the prescribed dose.

“ S.O.B.” User Rebuked
The vice-president of the United
States isn't advertising it, but he
once participated in a severe note
of censure of a congressman who
used the same S. O. B. initials re
cently used by the President of the
United States.
The vote of cenaure was tak
en against Rep. Thomas L.
Blanton, Democrat of Texas.
Passed unanimously by the
house of representatives when
Albcn Barkley was a member,
the resolution stated:
"Whereas Thomas L. Blanton
. . . inserted in the Congressional
Record, a letter which was in
decent, obscene, vulgar and vile;
"Whereas the said Thomas L.
Blanton . . . has offered an In
dignity to the house and to the
people represented by the mem
bership in congress . . . for which
he deserves the severest rebuke
and drastic censure, therefore be
It
“ Resolved that the speaker of
the house is hereby directed to
summon him to the bar of the
house and deliver to him its repri
mand and censure."
The obscene matter which Blan
ton had inserted in the Record on
Oct. 22, 1921, was a letter written
by Millard French, an employee
in the government printing office,
addressed to George H. Carter,
public printer. The letter con
tained the abbreviation S. O. B.
Narrowly Escaped Ouster
Nevertheless.
Blanton escaped
being expelled from congress by
only an eight-vote margin. A total
of 293 congressmen voted to expel
him.
Among those In congress at
the time were such close
friends of President Truman as
Janies F. Byrnes, later Tru
man’s secretary of state; Tom
Connally of Texas, now chair
man of the senate foreign rela
tions committee; Speaker Sam
Rayburn, and Vice President
Barkley.
All the above voted to expunge
Blanton’s S. O. B. abbreviation
from the record but none of the
above opposed the resolution of
censure, though they did not vote
to expel.
No. 28
5705
The attack against Blanton was
led by the late Rep. Frank Mon
dell of Wyoming and Nicholas
Longworth, late speaker of the
house, also now deceased. Mondell,
urging that Blanton be expelled,
said; "Anyone uttering in public
anywhere the words placed in the
Congresional Record by the mem
ber from Texas should be subject
to fine and Imprisonment. While
we cannot repeat the words which
form the basis of this charge, it
can be said that they are unspeak
ably foul, vile, filthy, profane,
blasphemous, and obscene.”
After the resolution of censure
was voted, Blanton was called be
fore the speaker's rostrum, where
Speaker Fred Gillett stated:
“ I have been directed to cen
sure you because, when you
had been allowed by the cour
tesy of the house to print a
speech, you Inserted In It foul
and obscene matter . . . and
that disgusting matter was
transmitted as part of the pro
ceedings of the house to thou
sands of homes nnd libraries
throughout the country to be
read by men and women, and,
worst of all, by children. In ac
cordance with the Instructions
of the house and as its rep
resentative, I pronounce upon
you its censure."
As Blanton left the floor of tho
house he collapsed In the corridor,
struck hit head on the marble
floor and had to be assisted to his
office.
