M'GROARTY'S COAT STOLEN 'There's a Robber In HouseOr Maybe Senate,' Californian Shouts.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (AP).A charge that "there's a
robber in
the House" was made today by Representative McGroarty, Democrat of California,
who quickly added, "or maybe in the Senate." The Californian
had turned from a speech championing the Townsend old age pension plan to
announce that his [vicuña] overcoat, a gift from his wife, was missing.
"Although I was never intended to wear a $100 overcoat, I'd
like to have it back," Mr. McGroarty appealed.
