I m sorry i did it now of course he told police for it s no fun to be locked behind these bars butt was great fun dashing Down the  police said Camp who had never driven a trolley before took the vehicle while g.

And once the pole came unhooked and i stopped got out and used the Cable to Hook it Back to the wires. I resumed driving again and merrily along the Way i d wave at folks standing at the stops but just kept going like i be seen trolley Drivers doing Romany  company officials expressed Surprise that an inexperienced Driver was Able to handle a trolley a Job which requires a certain amount of know How to keep the poles connected with the overhead wires. But they weren t half As surprised As Bethel when he returned from his Coffee break to find the trolley missing. Bethel hailed another trolley and told the drive about it. You got a great imagination the other drive said. It s hard for me to believe it myself but it s gone. I left it right there Bethel said pointing to trolley Stop. Finally he called police.

Northern demos want restoration of 21-Day Rule Washington a a show Down fight to curb the Powers of the conservative dominated House rules committee May develop when Congress convenes Jan. 7. It s a fight which congressional loaders wish to Avert but 1 ear they can t. It centers on demands of democrats from Northern and Western areas for restoration of the 21-Dayrule, which was in effect in 1949 and 1950. Under that provision Sinco abandoned the rules committee could not bottle up for More than 21 Days any Bill approved by standing committee of the House. After 21 Days the Bill could to called up for floor action without rules committee approval. Steering committee the rules committee serves As a steering committee or traffic cop determining which legislation goes to the floor for a Yote and under what limitations governing debate and amendments. That committee has been dominated for years by a coalition of republicans and Southern democrats. With Congress under demo cratic control it is composed of eight democrats and four republicans. Two of the democrats Are chairman Howard w. Smith of Virginia and rep. William e. Col Mer of Mississippi. Smith and Colmer along with the four republicans have effectively bottled up in committee Many Bills they opposed. Legislation not cleared by a majority of the rules committee has difficulty reaching the House floor for a vote. Lasted two years the 21-Day Rule was adopted in the 81st Congress when democrats had a 263-171 margin in the House. The new House is divided 282-153democratic, with one member still to be elected from Alaska. The Rule lasted Only two years. When democrats sought to continue it in the 82d Congress they were blocked by a coalition of re publicans and Southern  that Congress there were 199 republicans. House rules will be adopted inthe opening Day of the new con Gress. Again there will be enough republicans and Southern democrats to Block any Rule change if they get together. If they do supporters of Legisla Tion bottled up by the rules com Mittee will have one other Chanceton Force action. They can get a vote on anything by filing a Peti Tion in the House and obtaining the signatures of 219 members a majority. This is a tedious and difficult procedure but it has been effective in the past when the coalition was stronger numerically than it will be in the new House.
