PAGE SEVEN DESKS IN SENATE SUED FOR NEW Republican Side Stripped to Make Shift to Right Side Huey Long's Neighbor Would Move Elsewhere By HERBERT PLt'MMER . Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON The most convinc ing visible evidence of the democrat ic sweep In the elections of November fl to be found In Washington la the United States Benate chamber. Col. Ed Halsey, secretary of the senate, and Chesloy Jurney, ser-fteant-at-armB, have been amusing themselves In their spare time since the elections In shifting senatorial desks from the left (republican side of the chamber to the right (demo cratic) side. The result is striking when one glances down from the vantage point of. the press gallery and sees Just to what extent the republican side of the dividing political aisle has been stripped. One whole row of desks formerly occupied by 'republicans had to be shifted over to make room for new-ly-elocted democrats. To fill up the gaping space, the remaining 27 desks left have been scattered liberally around. A 'Cherokee Strip Republican senators . of the 74th congress will have no cause to com plain of being crowded. A square dance, almost, could be executed In the yawning space between their desks. Halsey and Jurney admit the pres ent set-up may be only temporary. It may be necessary after the senate Is convened to form a "Cherokee strip" on the republican side to take care of the democratic overflow. It was necessary once before to do this to provide seats for republicans. Back In 1907 nine republicans took up their abode on the democratic aldp. Huey Long may force a 'Cherokee strip" all by himself. The Louisiana "kingtish" has a habit of roaming all over the chamber while making a speech. After Huey has tread on a few senatorial toes on the crowded democratic side there'll probably be a howl for more space. Already Sen ator Byrd of Virginia, who sits im mediately behind Long, has served notice that either he or Huey must move In the next congress. j Byrd threatens to sit on the repub-; llcan side unless Vice President Gar- I ner gives him another seat. A Difficult Assignment ! Probably the toughest assignment of them all on the senate side of the capitol in the next congress will be that of young Leslie Blffle, secretary to the majority. It's Biffle's Job to keep track of all the democratic senators. He must know where they are" at all times or else see that they are paired for im portant votes. He Is responsible to Senator Robinson, the majority lead er, for the whereabouts of all demo cratic senators. With 69 on his hands In the next congress, Biffle Is In for a hard time. Often In the past it has been a ques tion of how fast Blffle's heels flew around the capitol, whether the dem ocrats won or lost on a roll call. He'll be forced to move faster than ever from now on. ... Officer Indicted Killed 500 Rattlers BRULE, Neb. -(UP) What Is be lieved to be a Nebraska record was established In a stubble field be longing to Gus Schulz when more than 500 rattlesnakes were killed In a week.

(.1 A score of southern West Virginia communities, threatened and In some cases isolated by raging forest fires, welcomed scattered rainstorms today. Two thousand men all available fire fighters struggled to halt the s-eep o the flames toward the set tlements. One fire fighter, Henry Frith, 19, was crushed to death by a blazing tree which fell on Zlcn mountain. The largest of the communities threatened was Beckley, a city of 13. 000, situated on a mountain top 70 miles from Charleston. After the flames destroyed telegraphic com munications to Beckley yesterday, ar rangements were started for radio broadcasts to the Isolated city. The wire services were restored, however, before broadcasts became necessary. With high winds whipping the flames over miles of forest land, th? fire fighters were encouraged by pre dictions of continued rains through out most of West Virginia today. State forest wardens estimated the total number of fires at 250. in boi'.i northern and southern sections of trte state. Conferred A.tilO Degrees STILLWATER, Okla. (UP) Okla homa A.
