P: Heard some four hours of Senator Heflin's prolific bile on his stale subject of Roman Catholic conspiracy to control U. S. politics. Said Mr. Heflin: "A Catholic bullet brought Roosevelt down. If I am murdered, many "Catholic priests will pay the penalty. But I have suggested a course to carry on ... I am anxious to see how much notice the press will give me."

Senator Ashurst interjected: "The press ought to say that it saw a Senator who was both windy and foggy at the same time."
