Policies JNEGRO IN GALLERY INTERRUPTS DEBATE flyers and Owens, Democrats, Defend the Veteran States v man's Mission - WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. The Tiger of France again came under fire in the senate , today when, his utterances on his tour of the United States were the subject of a conflicting debate which was enlivened by an interrup tion from the galleries by a negro .soldier. Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Nebras ka, former chairman of the foreign relations committee, led off in the de bate with an attack on M. Clemen ceau and the French policies and was Joined in the criticism by other sena tors, while Senator Myers. Democrat, Montana, came to the defense of the aged French statesman. Senator Owen, Democrat, Oklahoma, also expressed sympathy with M. Clemenceau's mis sion to America, but criticised French policies. It was during Mr. Hitchcock s at tack upon the war time premier in connection with alleged atrocities of black French colonials in Germany that the negro soldier who later gave his name as Lucius Jones, a patient at a government hospital, near here, rose in the gallery and sought to question the senator. Vice-President Coolidge banged the gavel and senate attend ants rushed forward and restrained the negro, so that the question was never asked but excitement prevailed in the The negro soon left the gallery but returned for the' rest of. the debate 1 while Senator Hef lin, Democrat, Ala bama, incensed at what he termed was an "insult" to the senate, demanded the man's expulsion. j There had been discrimination, the Alabama senator shouted, declaring that in the past white women had been ejected from -the galleries ot both the senate and house for Interrupting de bate, while this time the disturber was permitted to Temain. Senator Hitchcock especially criti cised th.e statements of M. Clemenceau in reference to the quartering of French "black troops" on the Rhine, declaring thatthe former premier's denials of the use of these troops had been disproved. He also attacked the French reparations demand on Ger many. Senator Myers, in defending M. Clemenceau, deplored Senator Hitch cock's criticism of the French states man and commended French policies toward Germany. -Senator Owen, al though criticising French policies, ex pressed sympathy with M. Clemenceau's mission, saying the visitor was "mal; ins a pathetic appeal to America." He declared, however, that M. Clem enceau was largely responsible through the Versailles treaty for present Europ ean difficulties and predicted that the American people would not co-operate with French while she continued her present policies. Nevertheless, he added, he, believed the visit of M. Clemenceau will be of great value in the discussion of frankly, honestly, fearlessly" of mat ters under public discussion as a re sult of the former premier's utter ances. At the same time, he said, he keenly sympathized with the French people and their sufferings.
