...with other nations. These protocols permit our withdrawal from the Court at any time without reproach or ill-will." The World Court protocols were not welcome in the Senate at this short and crowded session because the parliamentary situation there was already complicated enough without them. No Republican, no Democrat rushed forth to champion them. They were shoved aside into the depths of the Foreign Relations Committee whence they would emerge, according to Chairman Borah, a Court foe, some time after the Christmas recess.

He favored moderate Federal regulation, opposed public operation. Democrat Marcel Garsaud was opposed by Alfred Danziger, an agent of Louisiana's loud little Governor and Senator-elect Huey Parham Long, who charged Mr. Garsaud was unfit for the job because of business obligations to New Orleans Public Service, an Electric Bond & Share subsidiary.
